Yeah and when a console outsells a handheld, a thread is made for that. Pointless right?


Nope, DS passing PS2 is data and no data that is true is pointless because it is a fact.  It may be insignificant, but not pointless.   Comparing sales of corn and PS3's might not be very useful, but it is still data and has a point if for nothing more than having the knowledge to say corn sells more that PS3's.

No data is pointless.

hasn't shoes sold more then all consoles ever made combined before shoes made it to market, and PC's aren't consoles(matter of opinion sadly opinions don't sell) and have out sold consoles for every gen and are the reall leaders in the console war.

and yet shoes have still sold more!

People have eaten more beef than people have eaten PC's.  That's the beauty of data, it does matter even if it's insignificant. 

It's the other way around. It doesn't matter if people have eaten significant more beef than people have eaten PC's. PC's are obv not used as food, the comparison is pointless.

And, imho, it does matter if DS outsold PS2 (was the best selling videogaming machine ever, up to now), even if DS outsold PS2 just barely, or insignificantly.

In the end it does not matter, but the most I can say is :(  . I don't need a ban.

 

:(

 

GO DS!! YOU'RE UNSTOPPABLE!! :D

The comparison is pointless, but the data derived from it is important.  It's common knowledge to us, but it is still knowledge.  All data has a purpose and you simply can't deny that.  Wether you find the data important is matter of opinion, but in the grand scheme of things, it has a purpose.

Oh for God's sake

Yes, it can be denied, because the relevance of data is only determined by the practicality of application. Parroting "no data is irrelevant" isn't going to make it true.

Let's forget the PC thing.

In the GRAND SHEME OF THINGS this has no purpose, imho

but if you find that data important, ok, you love data, all data, whatsoever.

OT: DS outselling the PS2 has a purpose for me as a videogamer.

Although this data didn't matter for everybody,

it's a milestone in videogaming history.



Pretty impressive although I think it is not fair to compare handheld console to home console.

PS2 is still the best selling home console.

And what is fair?

Even if Wii would sell more than PS2, a comparison is not fair, because the market is growing.

And the population is growing, china and india become new markets etc. I could go on like this.

Fact is, DS outsold PS2.

Oh, i like this little video from you :)



I am locking this for obvious reasons.

Wait what...?

And please, be so kind to state your obvious reasons in the future. Helps people understand the reasoning a lot more.
