Forums - Sales - Matt Peckham appears to use VGChartz (and still bashes Wii)

mike_intellivision on 26 February 2008

I've added a link to the PC World blog (Matt Peckham is a PC World Blogger).

http://blogs.pcworld.com/gameon/archives/006532.html

And above is the link again.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Never heard of him. Guessing a PCWorld blogger might be a MS fanboy?

I have written about Matt Peckham before -- he is in the Wii-hater Hall of (In)Fame (Infamy). He is pro-hardcore gaming (and yes, pro-Microsoft's console).

But I found it interesting that his numbers on console sales agreed with VGChartz numbers.

I think it's hilarious that he talks about how great the 360's lineup is -- listing about 10 games, including PC port Supreme Commander -- and then fails to so much as mention MARIO KART. Wii Fit, apparently, is the only game coming out on the Wii besides Brawl in 2008. I wanted to leave a comment but I can't bring myself to register just to berate this idiot:

Apparently you haven't heard of Mario Kart? Listing all those games on 360 and not acknowledging the Wii game that will rival SSBB (and by some opinions surpass it -- see Gamecube sales for Smash and Kart) is by itself reason enough to dismiss your opinion. Add to that comments like "Nintendo's feeble first party 2008 lineup" and ... well, let's just say I found this article by following a link pointing out how wrong you are.

Let's also note he seems to want to compare Wii's first party to X360's entire line up.

QFT, and as an adjunct to that: Who does he think he is to argue with Reggie's statement? Lets get real here, no matter what you think of Nintendo you have to realize that they are a very conservative company when it comes to public statements. If he wants to show that the current rate won't be enough thats fine...but it only serves to prove that Reggie knows more than he does.

The best thing to do is let it unfold and if Reggie is wrong you can pound him for it later.

Your well-reasoned arguments are useless against a man who uses phrases like:
"Nintendo's feeble first party 2008 lineup".
Yes, I said that already.  But it's so ridiculous I'm going to be on the lookout for excuses to say it again, and again!

Wait, what, are you guys flaming FishyJoe because he didn't know who Azul Bamagar, or whoever wrote that dribble was?

We all know Nintendo has no 3rd party support. How else do you compare?

Er, no.  Sqrl was (I believe) saying "exactly, this guy is a nobody as well as an idiot" and I was saying "ROFL what an idiot!"  (Also, I think you mean "drivel".)
