Because it's not only getting old, it's now mostly used to rile up people tbh. Just a little more and you're in the realm of flame-baiting

I didn't say anything negative about any console.

I know you're smarter than that :)
You can perfectly rile up people by ignoring a console and focussing on other consoles, especially when you do that repeatedly.

Like how people exagerate minutae details? Like how the Wii gets ignored or shunned to the point where the owners of the console on a sales site now barely post about its sales at all? If I cause people to get riled up to the point where it raises some questions then I think its a good thing.

Seems better to post a huge thread about it, as most people won't recognize that in what you're trying to do.
Besides, it's not because people now go "yay" over the PS3, that they are the ones that need to be shaken awake, because when the 360 was riding its high, you were not doing this to make people get riled up about the other 'neglected' consoles. Be blunt and straightforward about it, because the way you're going about it now, isn't reaching the people you're targetting anyway.

+1 to squilliam
@papflesje :Squil can't reach the people because they already left or are about to leave this site... Look at this topic : this is a WWsales thread that has (as too often) turn the 'PS3 fanboy fest' route.
As often :
- Nintendo is ignored
- Be warn if you use logic ! (look at how Seece has been treated)
Bye.

The biggest news of the sales thread this week is how the PS3 managed to jump over 1 million. It's rather obvious that that is where the biggest talk lies. (Where were you when people were cheering because the 360 was pummelling the PS3 and everyone kept hammering the ps3? It's the other way around now, although most people are not actually directing their ventilations towards degrading the 360, but by cheering the ps3...)

As often, this week 's big news (that has to be confirmed) is PS3 related if we listen to Sony's fans. This last year this was the BAU of VGC.
I don't think we have read the same thead ... There were lots of cheerleading (which is fine) but also lots of PS3 fanboys 'taking revenge' (which is not fine).
I am a very long time lurker (see when my account was created), and i can say you that this site is more and more becoming a PS3 fanboys fest.
Lots of quality posters have left because they were consistently annoyed and insulted "because they were Sony haters".

Damn those evil PS3 fans who destroy the internet! Seriously, if you're a long time lurker you would have gotten wind of the shitfest of 2007 where the PS3 was flacked at every turn and owning one meant being legally retarded (what do I know, maybe some of them were). All the consoles get their share of the beating and fans of all three have something in common; they all whine incessantly.
Fanboys of any kind are getting hammered by the mods in here now, the rules have been shaped up and the team is coming down hard on mostly anything that can be perceived as rude or flaming, which is a good thing.
