well atleast your sig is cool..=D

Sounds like you've given up on the 360's sales and are already starting to get arguments ready for your thread "Why the third place in a console race isn't too bad after all" to me.

So you ARE grandmaster. :o

@nintendo_fanboy:  That's what I was thinking, lol. 

 No.

I think sales are strongly linked to what games a system has though. If you look at the 360 there are games it has that were once PS3 exclusive(or at least though to be, ie. DMC4), but strong sales in the US and an early lead made developers consider the platform more seriously.

Had the 360 somehow totally bombed in its first year, I think it's likely that it wouldn't have many of the games it does. The PS3 library has been negatively effected by lower than expected (though not as bad as some people like to say) sales as well. Some games have not only gone multi-platform, but even abandoned the console. And of course, the far higher than expected Wii sales have given Nintendo's line-up a big boost. Monster Hunter 3 for example switched from the PS3 to the Wii. There's no way Capcom would put such a big title (in Japan) on Wii if the sales trends were reversed.

Sales are a very big indicator what will come to a platform in the future. People don't just buy consoles for what's on the shelf at that moment, they have expectations of more games coming, so how well a console is selling is quite relevant in addition to the current line-up.

There's a sales forum to talk about sales.  But some people seem to want to make every forum here into a sales forum.  For example if I started a thread about Tales of Vesperia to talk about the game's artwork,etc it would just get derailed by people talking about it's Japanese sales and why it should be on another console.  It seems almost impossible to create a thread here and not have it ruined in such a way.  Maybe I'm just wishing for thought provoking and quality discussions that a lot of people seem to be too immature to take part in.

I'm still waiting on you to answer me Legend. Tell me how you prove one game is quality, and another is not.

 Opinion

That's the only way. If I say my console is better than yours, that means it's better than yours, and nothing can change my mind. 

Seriously, though, there's no way to prove anything. I think the Gamecube had the best games, but this is an opinion shared by few. 

 Don't go there Rol. DON'T. GO. THERE. PLEASE.
