This is a place for users with a certain console to talk shit about another console. I do it all the time, but if you have all consoles , then this is a place to brag about how you have all the consoles.


That's a little pointless then isn't it. It's an exercise in futility for people who get their jollies out of making others feel bad?

I cared about sales when Sony was losing. Now that they're in first, it really doesn't matter to me anymore. I honestly just quit caring. I guess I'm an asshole.  Now, I just care about gaming.



For me it is more a discussion as to what sales trends mean for the industry. Is it growing or shrinking, what genres are dominant, sequels versus new IPs, etc.

The only argument I've seen comes when tracking is really off such as VGC compared to NPD last month.

I came here to see what games were popular, but seriously, I don't understand, if  buy a lambo and you buy a ferarri, how my lambo sucks if your ferarri sells more??? We both have cool racing cars. Right?

The same as myself. Yet I have come across craziness where people literally "HATE" someone because of their console. Seriously, because of their console. Man, if you had a purple toaster, and I had a yellow one would you hate me?

Indeed, but I feel like I can't read articles anymore because of the hate. It's pathetic.

No, this is a video game sales website, that is why people come here to talk numbers. If you think it is stupid then you are in the wrong place. This website is all about who is winning and if your console of choice it is not winning then *excuse me* tough sh*t.


And did you create the console random15? And do you understand business stragety because what would you define as winning? If the xbox one has made more money due to higher profit margins, doesn't that meant that they are winning in your mind set? Yes, it does!! Were you born of a console or did you pledge allegience to one? What is it that makes you part of that "race" to win? Because you walked into gamestop and purchased a console?


Competition is everywhere just look around. I am sure you are fan of a sports team or a fan of anything in general.



Well if your favorite console has more sales then it just makes it seem like you bought the better and more favorable console since the most people are buying it. I say sales arguments are fine but if they arguing about graphics, now that's stupid.

E3 last year was the closest I felt to that when the whole X1 DRM discussion often devolved into name calling.  Cannot say I was crazy about Microsoft or some of its policy ardent supporters for a while there.
