  White is dominant!
  There, I'm the first one here to extrapolate this and equate it as a racial commentary.

  what the funk is Gamesradar doing? are they really that *bleep*? For one, 99% of these console winners are not white.
  Secondly, not *all* white consoles have won, PS2 vs DC in this case
  Third, the original DS was NOT white. The first DS lite however was. BUT if you compare sales between the DS Lite and the PSP the PSP is the winnar as it has been out longer
  This brings me to my fourth and final point. Stop being idiots, Gamesradar. Wait, no that's not my point, sorry. Fouth point is how can you group two or more consoles, in this case 360 and Wii and compare it solely against the PS3? obviously the PS3 wont have sold as much as the two combined. Hell, the 360 has been out longer than the PS3....ugh, someone needs to punch the editor of Gamesradar in the head.

      lol, I just think the editorial team over at Gamesradar are a bunch of tools. They create dumb articles such as this one and their Top 10 lists which, I think they do on a weekly basis.

    Read the title of the one with the Dreamcast, "Sole Upset."
    
    It's the one generation, "Sole" that upset the balance. At least they were ballsy enough to include the generation that disproved their theory.
    
    As for the majority of the winners not being white, "Consoles with a white or grey finishes." The winners, save for the PS2, were either launched with a white or grey finish.

    NINETY NINE PERCENT OF THESE AREN'T WHITE? We all must be blind then.
    
    They adressed the PS2 vs. DC. Did you read the whole thing?
    
    
    Wasn't the DS grey? They said white/grey wins, sometimes there aren't white ones, only grey and black.
    
    The PS3 hasn't sold as much as the Wii OR the 360 so it doesn't really matter whether you combine them or not.

      Please take note of the article title both here and on GR "White consoles always win" it does not state "White and gray consoles always win" I don't care what they hypocritically say in the article, I'm basing things off their own headline. The headline is what defines an article; Why do you think the headlines on the front pages of news papers are in such a large font and bolded?
      
      It doesn't matter if it was "addressed" in the article the fact is the PS2 is black, as such it shouldn't even be a valid point listed in an article where they state "White consoles always win". The title specifically states "always wins".
      
      And yes, it does matter if you combine them or not. That's like saying combined; yellow, orange, green, and blue skittles are better than red skittles. No, I did not read the entire thing, I don't waste my time reading trashy "journalism"

        If you're not actually going to read it, then what makes you think you have the right grounds to argue about it? When's the last time you've ever thought arguing with someone who doesn't even read about what's getting argued over, and thought, "Wow, that was a great argument. I want to do that again."

        If you care that much about the headline then I guess I can't change your mind about that other that just say since when can you read a headline and know a whole story? Do you expect it to say "White and grey consoles usually beat black consoles, aside from the PS2." That would be *bleep*.
        
        I'll just repeat what I said about the combining thing since I was right and you can't see that for some reason. Let me break it down for you.
        
        
        XBOX (white) is beating PS3 (black) in sales.
        
        There you go. The white one is winning! LOL!
        
        If you actually did read and pay attention to the whole thing you would have realized that in one generation all of the non-white consoles combined actually beat the one white one. The white one still wins against them all individually. They are fully aware that they combined them and that it actually doesn't matter because the white one still wins.
        
        Is this really a big deal to be upset about? Come on man, just because you get all upset about something so trivial doesn't mean it is wrong. Just move on.

        <sub>Deadman Rules stop being ignorant ok. Fact is Headlines or Titles ARE SUPPOSED TO tell us, the readers, what the article is about. The fact that the article title on both is both stupid proves what garbage the actual article is.
        
        Fact, White grey and Black consoles always win vs colored. However they don't win against each other cause truth be told it would end up being tied. So yeah Tek's right, the article is made of fail and trash.</sub>

        wut?
        
        When you say things like "The fact that the article title on both is both stupid" and "White grey and black consoles always win against colored. However they don't win against each other cause truth be told it would end up being tied." makes it alot easier for me to argue against since it makes no sense whatsoever. I won't even bother saying anything because it is clear you have an extra chromosome.
        
        As far as titles of articles supposed to be telling you what the article is about. Where is that a rule? Since when? If I looked around I could probably give you a ton of examples of catchy articles that just try to draw attention without being 100% correct or telling you everything about the article. It's just a title. Get over it everybody.

      I read the article and I don't see their point. They say that "white consoles always win" yet they're counting grey and white as the same color. Well of course "white consoles will always win" if the majority of consoles are grey and white, and GR counts grey and white as the same thing.
      
      Grey shouldn't even be included in the list if it's black vs white. But then, if they did that, black consoles would have won and it wouldn't have been a very "controversial" sounding article.

        It's a title, for god's sake. Ever see a newspaper headline that caught your eye, then after reading the article, realized it wasn't as awesome as you thought it'd be? They said in the article white and gray. Anyway, go look at the comparisons. The majority of consoles are, in fact, black.

        No, she's not reading too far into this. You guys are being too complacent while finding false advertisement absolutely fine.
        
        If I made a news announcement that said "Free Neoseeker T-Shirts Available NOW!" and you read through the thread only to find out that you get a free shirt after donating $100 or more, would you be ok with that too?
        
        The fact is that GR is using false headlines to attract readers and yet they seem to think it's perfectly acceptable. This article should only have counted White vs every other colored console, which, if they did the article title would still be lying. Even if the title said "White or gray consoles always win" again, it would still be false information.

        Tek, try living in a real world. When's the last time there's ever NOT been a catch? Headlines, be it internet or local newspaper, are meant to sell the paper. In the case of GamesRadar, get more people to visit their website to attract more advertisers. Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, that's in the journalism business, uses flashy headlines, that, while not a lie, aren't the truth, either. For instance, this title isn't a lie. White consoles always win... alongside gray consoles.
        
        And, since we're going on the technicalities of "false" headlines, the gray used for gaming consoles is a shade of white, Just like how maroon is a shade of red.
        
        As for the PS2 one, if you'd bothered to take 2 seconds to track down the last gen consoles, they made a good point. "You might say this staggering victory blows our whole theory out of the water. That's debatable, but let's sort this out. The only white console this generation was Dreamcast, released by Sega at the most inopportune moment and armed with technology that paled to the imminent PlayStation 2. So, it's not that the black console won, it's more that there was only one white option and it was doomed from the moment it was conceived."

        Wow, that reason for the PS2 was terrible, sorry to say. Look at the Super NES, it was the only grey console, and it 'won.' Why can't the same thing apply to Dreamcast? Only white console, so it wins. Oh wait, that's right, PS2 is a dominant console, even to this very day. People bought it for it's great (and huge) library, DVD functions, ability to play PS1 games...it wasn't no 'fault' or anything else of the matter, it wasn't because there was just one white console.
        
        But I will agree with you, Rhasiir, on the headlines bit. It's true, they make up headlines that'll get readers attention, and this one seems to have done the trick. Whether our reaction results in us being angry or not, we still get a reaction out of it and discuss it, and that's most journalists' highest goal.
        
        Tek does have a point with the false headline, but again, that's just a 'strategy' that writers use to draw you in.

  The vast majority of applinces have been white, grey, or black. Those colors tend to match with a majority of rooms, and thus are more common. Video game consoles just follow suit.

  It's probably because in the store, white game systems look more attractive in the display case. They look better all lighted up and It makes people want to buy them.
