Strange I did not recall singling out any specific poster. Had I singled out a particular poster I would have singled out lafiel. Who definitely had a meltdown. I doubt those with a Sony bias would not have brought up the same point had the situation been reversed.

However that does not mean it is a very valid statistic if it comes to pass. America is the strongest market for Sony in the console wars. Were the Nintendo presence in the American market to exceed the entire Sony world wide sales that would be a solid indicator. How could that not be a very important piece of evidence. We are talking about dominating the world through the strength of one market. That means Nintendo can win even when handicapped. That speaks to potential sales.

Further more it is becoming more likely that the war will be waged and won in the American market. Microsoft is strong in that particular market. Sony is at its strongest in that market, and yet Nintendo being able to not only dominate Sony in that market, but dominate Sony with that market alone for any length of time would be a fantastic feet. The media will take note, and so will developers. That would be a stigma for Sony and a major victory for Nintendo. This statistic will be used by the industry.

The big three are fighting their hardest in this one specific market. Nintendo insured they had a game packed in with the console. Sony has already run a sale on their console. Microsoft has just produced a price cut. Microsofts lineup is geared towards American consumers. So if Nintendo can dominate for any length of time purely on this market developers will take notice. Especially American developers.

This might be pouring it on. However the statistic is not out of line with reality it is not being spun into a favorable light. The favorable light is right there in your face. This is just more evidence to add to the growing pile.
