Forums - Sales Discussion - Will Japan EARTHQUAKE effect 3DS launch?

Hundreds of thousands of people are suffering every day...If you didn't buy a console and all those games you could have spent the money on some charity but you don't give shit about, millions of gamers are playing every day as  an (Afghan) terrorist while shooting Americans online nobody gives a shit but now something happens in Holy Japan we should be sensitive about it...  Want to be an moral senstive warrior, go ask for an permaban go out and give yourself 100% to make this world a better place but if you don't, you should just accept that you are an asshole(like me and all the rest) for buying expensive games to enjoy yourself while knowing you could use that money to help others to survive...

You've got it backwards.

People are so worried to show the world they are sensitive that they hurry to sensor the OP and everyone who thinks his question is relevant on this site regardless of the fact that the Earthquake happened only a couple of hours ago.

What I mean is that that the fact that he asks about sales or that we think his question is relevant on a site of this nature even at a time as this doesn't mean we give a shit about what happened (I have good friends in Hokkaido, for instance, and I know about natural disasters cause one stroke me and my family when I was just a kid). Assuming that we are not sensitive to it is a huge mistake. But you don't care about being right. You just care about the pleasure of censoring others with the huge sword of god, you inquisitors wanna be.

I think you need to look up difference between censoring and just expressing opinions. Censoring would be if we were all mods and decided to lock his thread. That's censoring. The only person that seems to be trully overreacing in this thread is you. I do not have a huge sword of god, but it does sound pretty badass.


Hyperbole
.  That's what the censor thing was. Those who know words are social constructions and never express the same thing for every person and refer to diferent things on diferent contexts are more biased to use them. Them and latin americans and poets.

I may be overreacting. I may not. Anyway. I think its healthy people express their opinions. It's even healthier when they can do it in spaces in which people are open to hear them. People handle grief on different ways. Some might  chose to talk about how Michael Jacksons cds would sell right after his death if they were worried about that subject prior to his decease, regardless if they choose a "cdchartz" site to do so or not. Other might chose to put the "insensitive" label on the first group to cope with it.

Are you on something? You've just compared COD to a real life tsunami. Way to go man, way to go.

you are just overgeneralizing. In my case, I dont buy expensive games. I dont buy games anymore actually. the fact that I come here doesnt mean I don´t for care for the world (I hardly come recently anyways) or that I spend much cash on material stuff (I don´t almost at all) or am shallow. and to me NO, IT´S NOT because it is happening to holy japan. I care because they are people suffering just like I care for any other social problem in the world. I really just use money for the things that are really necesarry, I only care about money for feeding, having a roof over my head and having something to wear (don´t follow brands). I live in a third world country with thousands of thousands of poor people so luxuries are something I REALLY dont care about. Actually if I was rich like Gates or something I would most certainly not give it to  a charity (I dont trust them), I would try to help poor schools or give it to the people who actually need it. Where I live there are schools for just two kids where the teacher is the headmaster and the janitor at the same time (my sister used to be one of those).The fact I come here doesnt mean I´m materialistic in any way. I really find your comments offensive. The only reason I come here is because I use to like videogames a lot and find the threads usually funny. and feel like I want to comment once in a blue moon.

So you're saying it was an exagerration? It was mainly people saying that the thread is out of line not saying that thread should be closed. IF people were saying that thread should be closed then you could have used that comparison, what many have done is just commented that it's just too early to talk about such controversial topics so soon. You were overreacting in this instance if I am honest.

I got a feeling it will affect it but not by a lot. I say the same for other consoles. People who were affected by the tsunami will ofcourse have a hard time coping and would have to change their buying habits for a while and just buy those that they really needed. Then we would have to consider damages in properties etc and another factor there would probably be no electricity on those parts affected so buying something that requires charging is not a great idea.  But we also have to consider people might buy 3DS or other portables(the cheaper ones i guess) just for the sake of escaping from reality of the situation.



Some people say the quake was caused by the supermoon... But I dont think so.

"Is the Japanese earthquake the latest natural disaster to have been caused by a "supermoon"? No. What a supermoon means is that high and low tides will be slightly higher and lower than usual, and also werewolves are extra strong this month.

We played a racing game. I came 1st, you came 6th. I say "I beat the hell out of you". Of course I didn't beat you. I am not stating that you had a hell in you and that I exorcised you. It's just a figure of speech.

I was just saying that people with their attitudes and comments behaved as if they were censors and our comments had to fit under their regulations. Anyway, peace. I don't feel like arguing anymore.
