Holy shit, just *snip*

As someone on gaf said, it will be interesting to see just how innovative Sony and MS are after Nintendo retires from hardware.Btw, goodluck with your touchpad PS4 controller.

Uh...what? Bye


That is what people meant by stealth trolling.  You've goaded the Nintendo fans all through the thread.  Every unit counts would read as sarcastic to most people if taken in the context of your other posts.  This isn't a personal attack, just a idea why people think you're stealth trolling.  Maybe you don't see it in your posts but if more than a few of us think it perhaps you should question the message you're portraying.  I don't think it helps that you're so active of course so you naturally get seen posting opinions across numerous threads so sometimes people bring opinions from other threads into discussions with you which they shouldn't.

Of course the guy deserves moderating though as he didn't need to use such an insult.

Saying "seriously though" is apparently not enough these days? Every unit does count, that is the truth. Some people already called me out for "stealth jabs", to which I answered and explained. Did you not find my explanations  sufficient (this goes to everyone who has been attacking me in this thread too). Saying I was stealth jabbing Halo 4 was especially ridiculous. 

If there is a valid reason behind the personal attacks, that's fine, but when people make up shit just to attack you...then it's way out of line. 

I know the above could be interpreted as something negative about Nintendo, it isn't. 

I was just highlighting why I thought  people came to that conclusion.  I was fine with your explanation but I'm not really the person who would get riled over some low Wii U sales  

I did think you jabbed at Halo 4 a little but I understood it was more about who you were replying to than the actual game so I didn't reply.  That wouldn't be stealth trolling anyway as you had a fair point that it might be over tracked a little.

You're experiencing the "Selnor" effect, once you reach a certain level of fame as a fan of a particular console on these forums people will read more from your posts than you ever intended.  Follow what Turkish does and try to ignore the attacks, you can't please everyone.

I don't see this stealth trolling that everyone else is referring to.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Does anyone know how the 3DS did?

Both Nintendo and Sony did not announce any numbers, January was a horrible month, I'm shocked that it's worse than VGC outlined. :(

And for those who are trolling

I was looking for Nintendo PR and found that in gaf... ROFL.

Gaf user question: Nintendo still hasn't released a PR story about January's NPD sales. Has this happened before?
Gaf user anwser: Nintendo had to put these results in the centrifuge, normal PR spin wasn't going to cut it.

Edit.

Gaf supposed Nintend PR: "Wii U sales reaches it's highest number in 2013 and set a new record for the console for the current year"

Kill me because I don't have so much fan in VGC since 2008/2009.

All we know is that 3DS software is down 4% on last Jan. You shouldn't call people trolls...

You are right. I changed my wording. Thank you for the software results.

The DS result is something other manufacturers should go for :) Sell more than you make - way to cut manufacturing costs!

Still, the undertracking of the year has to go to Diablo 3. It's at 3 million, while Activision has recently said it sold 12 million. I think this is humiliating this whole site...


Do you know that digital downloads is a huge market for PC games? I have ~200 games on Steam, and no one is a retail purchase.


lol 9 million digital copies? I have my doubts. A large amount sure, but not a over whelming majority.

 

I had one digital version in the household and all my friends bought boxed copies. I ended up picking a second copy at Toys R Us for $10. Good times.



It's just that simple.

bobgamez on 15 February 2013

how have we not heard anything on the 3DS? like what the hell, whats taking so long?



Carl on 15 February 2013

So the general VGC user now thinks that calling horrible sales horrible is trolling?

No.

Get a grip. Stop being sensitive about the sales of a videogame system.

The Wii U just sold like shit. It sold like a console on life support in its last Months. Its shocking, nobody expected it. Its dropped below any other home console for Years in its THIRD MONTH ON THE MARKET.

Pezus isnt trolling - Hes saying it exactly how it is.
