Now you are applying a double standard.

You complain that God of War 3 doesn't get the deserved recognition for being the bestselling H&S regardless of a discount or not, but at the same time downplay a game that re-entered the top 10 without a discount after being on the market for more than five years which is something no other game has ever done before. The reason why NSMB was brought up is because if God of War 3 can get a news story for its achievement, then where are the news stories for what is an even bigger achievement. That's a fair question/observation.

how is what I said was a double standard? Never said nsmb sales are bad, or non praise worthy or any such nonsense. stop being so paranoid. if you think it's impressive, which it is, please go ahead and make a thread on it. it has NOTHING to do with GOW..not comparable in the least...diff genre, diff target audience, diff type of platform etc etc. this thread has nothing to do with it. if you are gonna compare sales of GOW..at least make sure the game you are comparing is similar at least. if not you are just reaching. that's not 'fair'..that's just ignorant and unneeded to this thread. simple attempt of downplaying really. why enter a thread about a specific game and spout unrelated nonsense about something that adds nothing to the discussion? the double standard here is dsiplayed by you here to be frank..you speak of perspective..but doesn't use it properly. it's like me entering xx game/console of ninty sold xx amount thread and say meh might as well make threads about xx game/platform seeling this much. utter derailment and downplaying.

I explained what the double standard is in the post you quoted.

The topic of this thread is an unexpected return to the charts. You would know that if you actually read the news piece. And if you had read it, you would also know that it asked for the reason that is behind the surge in sales. Before you entered the thread PS3, 360 and Wii owners alike had already reached the consensus that the game going on sale was the main reason for its return to the charts. This wasn't downplaying, it was answering the question that was posted.

sometimes I feel you are too blind to other peoples words that are not either pro malstrom or pro/anti ninty or something...did you like not read what I said or not understand what I said?

let me make it simpler for you in point form

1. what I said was what you 'think' is a double standard..is not one at all. you were just being paranoid

2. the thread is about 'GOW" and its sales. I read the OP and even replied to it before calling out the idiocacy of some. you would have noticed this if you actually took time to understand what I wrote..or even read it properly

3. I never contested about the rise in sales was due to sales.....heck before you guys started derailing with random comments me and few others have followed the games sales for ages..and have been discussing it over the past weeks especially....hence why I knew what it was due to mainly..maybe try to clarify things before ranting on. fact of the matter is..even with sales..given the game and genre it belongs to..these ARE impressive sales which are adding on to what already is the highest selling H&S game of all time

4. my beef was mainly with bringing in nsmb to the thread. it's not needed...unrelated..and derailing. doesn't matter how much you sugarcoat it, that was just a sad sad attempt to downplay the sales. the games are not even comparable..in any way that a decent logic can back it. stop running around the issue..this is what I was explaining in all my previous posts but you don't seem to have a proper answer.it's like me going into a ps2 weekly sales thread and saying HA! 360 outsold it this week so I should make a thread on it! take your own advice and take things in perspective..this are impressive numbers for more reasons than one. if you and your bud can't hold yourself from not talking about nsmb sales..by all means..as I told D Joe..go and make a thread on it! I will make sure to not come in there and try and talk about unrelated news/games/sales etc. :)

either reply to the point, or stop wasting my time..this is getting tiresome
