Why do they NEVER talk about any other market when it comes to sales? I dont understand, its always the U.S

Well it is Yahoo.com (the US version of the site) and they are specifically referring to the recently released NPD US April results, which also cover only the US, so...

When did the non-gaming media decide to starting charming in on the console wars? More and more traditional media outlets have been posting stories of this nature. Does the general public really care who wins the console war? Let alone to make it one of their front page headlines? Must have been a really slow news day.

 

Yahoo expanded out into game reviews more commonly about 2 years ago, every 5-6 months a yahoo article related to the industry pops up on the google tech section.

In the Wii doom articles of the past month, only Japan mattered while other markets were ignored. It'd hurt their headline to include worldwide numbers.

i actually work at yahoo, and we get memos all the time telling us to bash the ps3. i wrote an article about toys, and had to put in that ps3 is a joke.

im kidding btw, its ridiculous to think yahoo has beef with sony.



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

wow this article not only attacks Sony in general but also advises people to hold off on purchasing a PS3.
Amazing.

A console that costs 99$ with an amazing library outsold a console that costs 400$ with a decent/good library?

Unbelievable..

Pfft i hate Yahoo, they're such dumbasses >.>

So what's the conclusion here? American's hate console manufacturers that are from other places?
