Shouldn't success be measured by the games?

Well the "Sales Discussions" forum implies to me that any discussions dealing in sales should be in that forum. So I don't really understand how people can be confused about which forum to post in when they want to post a thread that discusses sales.

While the "Microsoft Discussions" and the description being "Xbox / 360, Halo, XBL, Live Arcade - keep it all in here!" seems to imply that the discussions are about products related to Microsoft. So I don't understand why some people think that means Sony or Nintendo products or comparisons.

Exactly! Which is, of course, why you never hear Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony names ever showing up in the sales forums, since they have forums where people specifically talk about them.

Oh, wait, my bad, their names DO show up in the sales sections. I guess that means Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony aren't only limited to their own sections. I guess sales figures also aren't only limited to the sales forums.

and since the sales figures are right up on the FRONT PAGE and the name of the site is VGCHARTZ(reffering to the numerous charts that track sales figures of hardware and software for the various consoles) I guess that sorta sets the tone for the whole site in general, now doesn't it?

Oh, and BTW, when deciding how "successful" anything is, you have to first look at what teh primary goal is. in the case of both Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony, the goal is...

*drumroll*

Making MONEY!

Getting the best games? Sorry, bud, MEANS TO AN END.

Really, it's your own fault for using the term "successful" you probably didn't realize that it refers to something more specific that simply saying "cool" or "best" or "most fun" or "most value" or anything like that in which the points are subjective from person to person.

having a lot of people who like you, doesn't make you successful. Getting an A in class doesn't make you successful, shooting 3 bullseye's doesn't make you successful. It's only if those things were your GOALS that you would then be successful.
