Arguing is pretty pointless, which is what I see much of the discussion on forums to be. Not specifically this one, but just in general. I love to discuss and get hyped about big games coming out, but it's been a while since we had that opportunity. That's one of the main reasons I feel the traffic is pretty low these days. There just hasn't been any crazy news on the gaming front in quite a while. I'm guessing come September that will change when I expect we will at least have a Nintendo Direct.

I think that while the Switch and the PS4 are obviously on equal footing and history will judge them that way, the PS4 already achieved massive success before the Switch even showed up and the Switch has achieved its success during a stagnant time for Microsoft and Sony. In 2006 all three competitors were going head to head and all three were bringing something unique to the table. And, of course, there were very few places to have sales focused discussions.

Times have changed. I get much of my information these days from YouTube. The content creators there are doing such a good job of relaying the top news stories, providing great breakdowns of trailers, news tidbits, and rumors that looking to forums for information and discussion almost seems redundant.

I like this site for the graphs and charts. I like that many users have created their own long running graphs and charts that really put certain sales in perspective. That would definitely be missed and it isn't really something I see being done too much on YouTube.

So if this site ceased to exist (which, by the way, I don't see happening) I would have to do another internet search like the one that brought me here in 2006 to keep up to date on the latest sales figures. If said site also had a forum, then that would be cool. But honestly, I didn't come here for the forum. Just the charts.
