I personally don't stay up at night posting anymore. I also don't post as much during the day because I've been learning to give RL the portion of time it needs. So I'm personally on less, but definitely still here.



Around the Network

I don't know about everyone else but I kinda lost a lot of interest in sales mainly since this generation is slowly dying and since I don't like the way sales charts are being posted now. I much prefered the more simple NA UP and EMEAA UP and JAPAN UP and the last one would be the WW UP. Also, they used to come out at specific days of the week. Now it's just random.

Also the whole database is broken and many games are missing.

But the forums are still great I think!



Honestly this site has become a home for fans of a specifig console rather than gaming its self. Its annoying beyond belief and loses all of its credibility in the forums because of this. This site is actually a joke because of this. I dont give two shits wether you like the ps3, 360, or wii the most. They all have good games, and fyi PS3 looks like crap compared to PC so there is no point in argueing which has the best graphics when 360 and PS3 looks almost identical anyways. I can get much more unbias information from other sites. Brutally honest but its true.

For you guys saying "It's early", this is something that I've been thinking about for the last couple of days. The site has been dead. It was when I woke up this morning and saw that almost nobody has been posting, even throughout the night.

I'm sorry I have to work and sometimes I need to sleep.... I'm sorry....



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

Because this is primarily a sales and console wars site and since we're at the end of a generation (without much info on next gen yet, not even Wii U info which is due to launch in a couple of months), and the console war is over and the industry is slow (especially in Summer and early Autumn), therefore forum activity is slow.

Good games are constantly coming out but unless they're exclusives of a particular brand (that starts with an S), members of this site have never been very interested in discussing just games.

It does not help that almost every thread with a decent post count is about how the PSV is doomed and how the Wii U will fail.



I don't see it, everything seems to be ok imo



It's a slow summer... All the news we're getting is about the WiiU or 3DS - nothing at all from Microsoft or Sony. And most of the times all we're getting about the WiiU is rumors we've already heard. I'm mostly interested in Nintendo news, but I'm actually really eager to hear ANYTHING about the PS720 right about now!!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

alright d21lewis - i'm not one to typically create threads but i have one rolling around in my brain. it will likely fail but if it does you are now required to accept responsibility for my failures. i'll post it on my lunch hour.



I chose "other". My reason is: Because you're here.
