360 selling more than Wii+Wii U combined, this is awesome. :D Wii U selling less than 40k, gotta love those numbers.

No, I don't "gotta love those numbers" becuase I am a Nintendo fan. What a stupid thing to say..

You are a pretty sad human being if you are seriously that happy about your preferred piece of plastic beating on your hated piece of plastic. I don't care if this gets me banned either because its worth it. 

 

Well then it is too bad for you.

Let's pretend for a second that you did not resort to personal insults. There are plenty of reasons for a person to be happy about "piece of plastic" beating another "piece of plastic". Have you considered that some people might actually have money invested in some company or maybe their income is directly or undirectly involved with some company? Those would be damn good reasons!

Then  again, some could like games on another piece of plastic much more than the other and if the less liked fails, it opens up the market for the games which some person prefers. That could mean more good games for said person!

The problem is that you're being very, very selfish. I know I shouldn't bother talking to you about this, but it's so god damn hard to resist. Remember back in the mid 90's how Sony, Sega AND Nintendo could co-exist. It was a great time for being a gamer. Or this last gen when Wii catered to a whole different demographic than PS360. It's been a great time for all kind of gamers.

Your comments are sad in the sense that you want all gamers to play your kind of games. But looking at the whole picture, there's a lot more people who enjoy Mario more than ANY of Sony's franchises. I'm not saying that Mario games is better, but that far more people enjoy those kind of games rather than to games like UC, GoW of GT. Why would you want Nintendo to go out of business when they have innovated the industry on several separated occasions and cater to gamers that no other company does. This past gen has shown that several consoles can survive side by side, and still doing great.

And arguing that you're happy to see Nintendo is doing bad because you have money invested in Sony does not make sense. Sony's troubles is not within the game industry, but elsewhere. You should be happy if Samsung, or Apple is doing bad. Or if you're going to rejoice over Sony's gaming division, you should be happy when Sony posts a profit from the PS4 right out of the gate - but that would mean weaker hardware, and you'd still be bitter over that.

Your reasoning in this thread is god damn straight awful.

But not that you care about anything I'll say. You'll never change your mind. And that's a sad thing to see. You're missing out a lot of joy in the way you see the world.
