The problem being that I can hear someone bitching that they're discussing sales in a sales thread. So I'm having to give a general warning first, that it is spamming, and thus, I will be ruthless next week about it.

Nonetheless, it should also stop NOW in this thread. It's more than derailed things here already.

See my post.

People will bitch about it when there are obvious problems with it.

Question -

Will I get banned or warned for posting comparisons between the preview and real numbers? For example "Preview says Wii sold 70,000 while in reality it sold 90,000. PS3 sold so and so..." Etc.

It's not comparing that I have a problem with; if it stayed there, I'd be fine. But for at least the past 2 months, all the Japan sales threads have been the same- a few posts about the reported trackers sales, another couple posts comparing it to the preview (fine), and then it devolves into people bitching how it's always off, TheSource is biased, etc. And then it becomes yet another bitch about the preview thread. I'm not going to try to stop comparing sales on a sales forum; that's just stupid. But the deevolution that I'm against is when the thread is no longer about the sales numbers.

If you, or anyone else, for that matter, has any other questions about this, please feel free to wall or PM me, as this is also drifting from the actual topic.
