It is like offering people a good wine but they prefer coke. And then you say "coke selling better than wine". Of course it does. Thats why all people in the UK are fat!

You know, that wine has more calories than coke?

And coke has more sugar, gas and conservants than wine

Huh? Too short for a joke, but also too overblown to be serious.

I was about to comment, that I just remembered why I left this site in the first place. The people in this site overblow up a lot of stuff. Given Carl, you might be drawing attention back to the subject that might have lasted one or two days. 

Also I am at work, so I can't click your video! T_T

Pro tip: Calories in the things you consume are but a small part of the impact of things on your waistline. For instance, if wine makes you eat less than coke, then you may end up consuming fewer Calories in total as a result.

Indeed, there was a study done comparing calorie intakes of people who drink diet coke vs people who drink regular coke (I believe it was a proper study, not just "pick up people, ask them which one they drink"). The ones who drank diet coke (which has far fewer calories) actually consumed more calories per day than the ones who drank regular coke.

Yes, it's not fair : Knack is a new IP and Mario is an old and cherished IP, which makes Knack's victory even more remarkable!

Nintendo should just stop doing what they're bad at (home consoles) and focus on what they're good at (software and handhelds). Imagine SM3DW releasing on PS3, PS4, 360 and XB1. 10 million at least. Now it will struggle to sell 2 or 3 million.

 

Edit: And of course Mario will outsell Knack by a lot, but this just shows how irrelevant the WiiU is (deserved) and how its games will suffer from it (a pity).



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

Sony should just stop doing what they're bad at (handhelds) and focus on what they're good at (hardware and home consoles). imagine Gravity Rush releasing on 3DS, iPhone, Android. 5 million al least. now it will struggle to sell 1 million.

Edit: how the hell is WiiU being irrelevant deserved?

Why would they try and sell 10 million as 3rd party when they can potentially do it on their own platform and make far more money? Look at Galaxy...

Actually no it doesnt.

Coke has 2,323 calories/ml.

Withe wine dry has 1,508 calories/ml

Withe wine medium/sparklng  has 1,346 calories/ml

Iam guessing you just looked at the calories and not the actuall size of the beverages.

So all in all, Coke has atleast 54% more calories.
