I thought we had come to the agreement on this site that a product selling better right NOW meant it was king and that past sales and total sales dont matter anymore... At least a number of Sony fans have been preaching this all week.

So that's where Sales2099 got that. Always wondered. Doesn't make sense coming from a Sony fan, doesn't make sense coming from a Microsoft fan, and doesn't make sense coming from a Nintendo fan. It simply does not make sense. lol

I don't know why but a number of Sony fans started using the reasoning that because the PS3 is selling better than the Wii or 360 for the last few years, it has won the gen (despite the huge deficit to the Wii lol).  Its bonkers, yet the arguments get reversed when they don't suit them.  There's nothing more annoying that hypocrysy.  I think Sales picks on GT5 because a lot of the manic pro Sony camp hailed it as the second coming giving it the sort of hype in quality and sales that no game could realistically achieve.  Let's be honest, the sales figures are still amazing for a driving game regardless.
