I hope the mods are on top of their game. There's some nasty people over on GAF.

Japan sales gaf members not welcome though!

why not? (i'm curious)

For a number of years Nintendo's sales were not good almost everywhere except Japan. So a lot of nintendo fanboys on gaf who liked to brag about sales found a safe haven on their mediacreate thread. Obviously happy with Nintendo performance in Japan but constantly downplaying the ps4 in Japan since it launch being really negative about it.

Every game not announced for a Nintendo platform was stupid according to them and the port begging was hilarious. It actually became a meme.

Anyway, I'd rather not see these guys come over here but if they do so be it.

I don't know if this site is slowly becoming like Gaf, or its polar opposite.
Ya'll gotta stop being elitists.

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

When NeoGAF sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing censorship, they’re bringing snowflakeism, their rapists [didn't even have to change this], and some, I assume, are good people.

Does VGChartz need a yuge, beautiful wall?

Agreed, I don't understand the elitism in this thread, we're all just random guys on the internet that happened to choose this forum over another one

Nintendo beasting with the DS and Wii is why I got interested in sales (check my reg date) and I'm hardly alone. Sony pulls huge numbers with their PS consoles but sales come from every corner of the World where we don't get any charts/sales info so it's just not generating stuff to talk about like Media Create does.

Regarding Japan specifically, there hasn't been a period in the last 10 years where Sony really dominated, the PSP resurgence in 2009-2010 was the closest thing to that but it didn't last very long and was overshadowed by the 3DS launch in 2011. Resident Evil PSP and future Monster Hunter games moving to the 3DS killed the PSP. When the PS Vita didn't catch on Sony definitely became a lot less relevant since Japan is so handheld focused.

PS4 is only doing slightly better than the PS3, the fourth best selling console last gen. If anything, the constant "bu- bu- Asia sales!" or "bu- bu- the West!" in response to low PS4 JP software sales was a meme.

The reality here is you had these posters interested in sales in general taking a special interest in Japan because it was the only place Nintendo was winning.

As I said there was a period where the hive mind on Japan gaf didn't even give the ps4 a chance of succeeding 5M in sales. you would be laughed out the gate if you said ps4 would do 8m+ nevermind 10m which is clearly possible.

If it's just to bring more political thread on this site with a huge left-leaning tendency, then we should tell them to calm down and this site is probably not the best suited for their taste.

It's a huge melting pot here, plenty of Centrist,Communist,Liberalist, etc ... (didn't see any anarchist though ...)

Well, I can assure you that they exist here
