Well then tell Bruce that

 I think we should leave the guy alone.

He came here with the trappings of a journalist and so we gave him a lot of attention.

By now we know he is just pushing a certain agenda and loves to get some of you riled up.  Let him have his predictions and his opinions....there's no way he is going to change his mind...or yours.

 I say hi, I love cars more than games.

 Yeah, yeah, we've heard the story of your Wii-fanatic family before. Try making a Norwgian family play, or heck; try asking them whether they know what the hell a Wii even is! They don't, but odds are, they'll know about 360 and PS3. You see Avinash, not everywhere on the globe is the same as your living room.

Mummelmann, the fact is that Wii is a lot more knowwn everywhere than ps3 or x360 due to the fact that is more casual oriented, you cant deny that. Most people do know about wii.

being part of a motorcycle forum, i can tell you that a lot of people are probably heavy into video games, guns, other "guy" things. So no, they are not in any way a balanced discussion of video games.

Without even reading what was written I'd venture to guess they will be disproportionately leaning towards PS3/Xbox360.

I’m just annoyed with how arrogant he is even though he is sloppier and has less insight than a lot of members of this site.

reading that site only reinforces the wii winning argument

u have the people on there that are into streaming movies, putting linux on the ps3, buying multiple consoles, etc

then u have the people who are more casual talking about how wii is more fun and better for multiplayer...and about guys who bought their wife a wii for xmas

even in that biased group u see wii's strength

Make 10 posts a day over a year (which can be done in very little time every day) and you too can have a ton of posts ...

The reason I consider your analysis "Sloppy" is that you don't spend the time to define the terms you use, and you don't demonstrate that the data you choose to use actually fits the argument you're attempting to make.

What is a "Normal Person"?

Being that we are discussing videogame sales I would assume it is in reference to the silent majority of gamers. Previous analysis that has been done has demonstrated that 80% of gamers bought their previous generation console for less than $200, and at least 50% of gamers only owned one console; it is reasonable to assume (due to software sales) that most gamers don't buy too many of the "key" games that the "core" gamers put a lot of emphasis into. Most consoles have attach rates under 10 (or so) games, and since "core" gamers tend to have very large libraries it is unlikely that the majority of gamers have more than 10 games for their systems; this (to a certain extent) demonstrates that videogames are not a major hobby of theirs.

How well does your data match this line of thinking about "normal people"?

The posters on this thread seem far more representative of the (at this moment undefined) "core" gamers rather than the "normal people" that it was trying to be attached to.
