Guys, we all need to accept the reality of the situation here. 

We all need to put down our computers and just stop responding all together. There is nothing to cheer about, nothing do say "OMG", "AMAZING" or "GREAT SALES" about. Now here is why.

 

1.) Sony came into this gen off of (2) straight 1st place finishes and will probably not recoup what they lost with the PS3 at the start of this gen, so celebrating and ignoring this fact makes you look foolish. It doesn't matter how great they have done for over a year now and how their sales are staying fairly consistent with last years sales around this time, even when we were told they wouldn't.

2.) MS is doing great, much better than anyone could have possibly expected for this generation but the truth is the truth, just like PS3 they won't recoup their losses, and not just from the 360, but from the original XBox as well, so no celebrating anything anymore. If Kinect is a HUMONGOUS success it will mean nothing as long that previous deficit created 5-8 years ago still exists.

3.) Nintendo came from last and went into first and making a ton of money, started off the gen setting all kinds of records. We should celebrate right? Wrong. Nintendo also went from setting records and having ungodly momentum to seemingly losing it all mid-generation and allowing the HD consoles to gain serious traction to the point where Wii sales dropped into last place for the home consoles.

 

So with this irrefutable evidence I say that we all just leave the site. Accept the reality of every company's situation and just put down those keyboards and be realistic. Ok? Time for gloating has been over for PS3/360 fans since the start of this gen and Nintendo fans gloating ended months ago.

So there, conversation is over and we are all on even ground.

Mad that I missed this!

Comic relief at it's finest!

I can't help but feel if this was taken with a bit of seriousness, there would be less "real" fighting on the site, rather than just silly fun like Carl and Euphoria are having.  Don't be a jerk, but realize you are on the internet and on a site full of video game enthusiasts who share common ideas with you, enjoy it, have fun.  Just don't be a jerk.  All companies have made mistakes, none are perfect.
