Yes, but this site provides statistics, not opinion.

no, it provides statistics of opinions

 

Funny, I thought "Number of units sold," even an approximation thereof, was a statistic, not an opinion.

Or is this site based on what people "believe should be sales numbers."

Ratings are 100% subjective, sales numbers are not.

 

Funny that the people who use that argument are always nintendo fanboys. (lol wiiplay rlz?) I always thought that sales numbers are subjective too, like a guy who likes game A buys game A. Another guy likes game B and buys it. That is not subjective? :)

Oh, I am no fanboy, and if you want to go throwing that claim around you better have at least one post to back it up.  I am, however, intelligent and can back up what I say without resulting to internet acronym gibberish (lol rlz?)

Now for the lesson, as you obviously have no idea about statistics...

If I say "I bought 5 apples," that is a fact.  Its not an opinion that I bought five apples.  Someone can't come up to me and say "Don't even TRY to claim you bought 5 apples, you bought 2 bags of grapes!"  The reasons why I bought apples has no bearing on the factuality of how many apples were bought.  If someone then tells some 3rd party "Crashman bought 5 apples," he is not stating his opinion that I bought 5 apples, he is stating a fact.

Now I realize a lot of people here have a problem differentiating between fact and opinion (lolz, the Wiiz iz 4 teh kiddie n00bz) but unfortunately, ignorance isn't painful. 

If someone states "Halo is a perfect 10!" or "Halo sucks the proverbial donkey" both are opinions, and have no bearing on any one else, unless they chose to allow it to.  Making a claim that "360 has the best games!" is an opinion, and any one who is a Metal Gear fan or a Mario fan will surely disagree, as the 360 does not have said games available.

Please.  For your own sake.  Learn to keep your mouth (or fingers) shut when you are about to make yourself look, shall we say, less than intellectually gifted, as there are masses of people are the sight more informed, logical, and free from rabid brand loyalty that will easily put you in your place.



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?
