You know I had always though that was a moderator's job was to moderate and calm spirits and not to get drawn into fights. That is hardly the case on this site where many mods spends their time spilling oil on the flame wars and generally not staying neutral :P

"Nintendo domination again omg!"

"Happenz every week lol!"
"WTF XX undertracked!"

You cant teach leo-j how to behave, he is too immature to understand a logical comment, he will just go against you no matter if the facts are just here.

For instance Vgchartz: Wii > PS3 in america... Leo-j: NO ITS OVERTRACKED and PS3 is undertracked!

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

I'm not sure but I think the PS3 might outsell the 360 in Japan this time .

what kind of comment is that?

OT: Wii sales rebound!!!! Go Wii!


I believe the comment would classify as "completely ignorant of Japanese market"

How about this? "360 has as much chance to beat PS3 this week as DS has in beating PSP"

 

:)

You see this guy Leo-J. He's the reason we pick on PS3 fanboys. 

 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I mean c'mon, even if th PS3 sold only 10 k less than the Wii in others, it's still getting it's butt handed to itself in the other regions, Japan especially. Your arguements that we don't take into account PS3's good week is ased on the fact that overall it still is losing by a pretty darn big amount.

Not to mention that the Wii has had a phenomenal 1st quarter and continues to have a good streak on to the 2nd while the ps3 only now has shown a fang or two.

The PS3 was doomed 3/4 of a year ago, and would not sell even 6m (or so we were told...)

Basically, the PS3's sales have improved massively, and it has beaten the 360 by 700k in the first 3 months of this year, seling about 2.75m, which is massively over what it sold in the equivalent time last year, so that is why the PS3 is doing well


True but let's not forget that the Wii and PS3 are in their second full year cycle and it is only normal for consoles to enjoy higher sales  at this time in their life. History proves me right with every more succesful console. The xbox is different as it is on the market that extra one year. Could definitely use a price cut.

it always outsells the 360 in japan...


 You obviously don't look at sales data alot so i'll let this one go , it's obvious (based on past sales) that the japanese are in love with the 360 , with it's strong JRPG , predatory pricing and awesome games libary.

 The PS3 hardly ever outsells the 360 and when it does it's only by a tiny margin.

It's funny, when the Wii posts big numbers, we have so many fanboys saying over tracked. But when sales are dismally low, not hardly a peep.

 Well, when the sales are "dismally low", you can hardly blame fanboys to not scream out "over-tracked". can you?

It's pretty basic logical here. :)

 

I wonder what Microsoft's April pre-NPD's excuse going to be. 


If they lose that month, they'll just focus on the amount of money that Grand Theft Auto IV bought them, or get some averages from Metacritic again.

OT:  Good Job Nintendo.

@ leo-j

You should probably stop now.  40k Wiis/week in June!  LAWL.

@ fishyjoe

Saying Nintendomination again, when Wii has a 'not-so-good' week is flamebait/trolling, and is wrong.  It is less wrong than 'TEH SITE IZ OVERTRACKING', but it's still wrong.
