Don't be silly.

@CGI - you've been pretty testy about this lately so I'll just leave that alone.

No dude, it's wrong no matter what end of the spectrum you support. You had no reason to go after a game not in the debate, and you've been here long enough to know that.

The "debate" was in reference to sales disappointments and inflated expectations. I don't see anything wrong with bringing up another example.

Again, you've been going after any and everyone who says something about GT5 that just happens to rub you the wrong way - whether it be a comparison to another game or expectations for tracking that doesn't align with your own. Don't be so sensitive.

Uhh, DKCR and Epic Mickey failed. Some people predicted NSMBW like sales for those games. Haha.

Did anyone really think it'd do NSMBW numbers or you just makin' that up?

Oh yes I've seen a lot of people thinking so.

Show me. I don't believe that at all!

Are you guys are just projecting your disappointment with GT5 sales onto DKCR? Cause I can't see anyone really, truly believing that DKCR = NSMBW in sales.

There were more especially right after the game was announced but I can't find the threads anymore.

NSMBWii did over 2 million 1st week.

Based on those links, no one predicted "NSMBWii like" sales. I don't think you can't find the threads, I think it's more like they don't exist.

EDIT: This is exactly what Halo_Reach got flamed for in the other thread - taking a few outrageous predictions (though the links you provided weren't outrageous at all) and making it seem like "a lot" of people had such lofty expectations.

I didn't see that, was just looking at his numbers.

But see my edit in the other post (now below for your convenience):

Funny you mention that, as you were willing to go after a game on a system you don't favor because of some predictions you didn't see or don't care to accept. Check out Boutros's reply to you and understand why what you did was unnecassary.

Before you call people out for behavior, don't express the same behavior because you couldn't handle that a game DID have some huge expectations it didn't quite achieve. And really, in the EMEAA thread, nobody seems all that disappointed with GT5's sales, as it's performing above past iterations..

I'm disappointed at GT5 sales :D

No seriously I knew it was going to be big in EMEAA. EMEAA likes sports game and racing. Whatever linked with sports and fitness (Fifa, Wii Sports Resort, Gran Turismo...)
