Lol, quick.. jump! Gotta defend the site!

People can't take a joke anymore. Sad.

 

Took six people too...


 This type of crap is annoying, just own up to your mistake and move on.  Trying to act like it was a joke just makes it worse, and nobody buys it.

GameDaily BIZ and other media outlets were led to believe that Sony CEO Howard Stringer's 100,000 sold figure for the week ending November 11 was specific to the PS3. Apparently it was not.

Bloomberg.com found out from Sony Computer Entertainment corporate spokesperson Kimberly Otzman that the 100,000 actually was inclusive of all PlayStation consoles, which we would assume means PS2 and PSP as well – not so impressive.


Just add this to your sig because people still don't seem to be getting it.

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

Cry more. Please. Please explain the rule that I broke by placing a joke in the thread please. The one that deserved a "warning".



It seems the mods need help with this forum.  I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.

Do you truly believe a goading/insulting statement such as this to be your wisest response?

Do not let your resentment do the typing. Too often does it lead to certain unpleasant three letter words.



I'm just trying to figure out what the "rule" is about posting sarcastic/joke posts so I can start reporting EVERYBODY that does it.

I mean obviously, if I'm to be warned for doing it, I'd love to have everyone that does it in this forum "warned" and/or banned.

It wasn't even a joke, you are just one of the people crying that the PS3 sales on this site are always undertracked.  You try to do it by passive-aggressive posts putting smiley's at the end when it's your real feelings anyways.

One look at all of your past posts shows about 95% are all regarding Sony.  You're a sony fanboy who probably cries at night when people bash it or the newest sales come out and you claim bias.  I see you everywhere trying to get anybody banned who says anything bad about the PS3, you should worry about your own smart remarks because you're probably on a faster track to getting banned than anybody else that way.

So can anyone explain why the PS3 sold near 200,000 worldwide on the week ending the 10th (according to this site)? Or how it also outsold the Wii in Japan for the first time, in said week?

I think this news article is just about American sales.

Let's just wait for NPD. I mean we can't trust Sony. Hell why would we ever trust them.

And of course VGCharts doesn't have the capability to be as accurate as NPD. So let's jsut wait for NPD before we start doing all this crap. Of course when October NPD came in we did nothing haha. (sorry ioi but I can stil complain about it because you've yet to add all 3 of those Wii million sellers haha)

 Well it beat the wii partially because they just released a brand new sku with a lower price point and also simultaneously released the biggest Japan PS3 game so far (DW) so they should've gotten a big uptick.
