How much does it matter for you to have the "winning" console?

[Oyvoyvoyv]

I want the things I like to sell good. Unfourtunately, this is almost never the case. My favourite jam is discontinued, my favourite sushi resturaunt, and so on.

It has always been that way with video games for me too, as I've always gone the Nintendo road, but wasn't here during the glory era.

As much as I love statistics, I couldn't really accept for myself that these games, which were insanely much better than the others (flamebait?) couldn't sell the most. I didn't want further proof that the entire human race was retarded (or perhaps the easier solution)

I love seeing the Wii beat out the other consoles, and in my head I figure out how many % of the share Wii had this week in each territory, and I check the numbers to the current marketshare, to see whether it is doing better or worse.

I love reading the sales numbers, and it's almost than twice as fun when you win.

Now, a bit off topic. You guys, De85, failure'snotanopinion and such, please don't make another (this) thread into a flame thread. That has happened way too often lately. And Viper, even though you may (and probably are) correct, just let it go.
