Wanna make it 1 month sig bet??? You know I'm in. :)


No, what you said is true, just like Nintendomination is true, and yes, your scathing comments bringing up sore subjects for Nintendo fanboys are absoultely your right.

 

However, you are firing at us with a slingshot. We're setting over here with a Panzer tank. You can't expect us to not let one fly, when your slingshot bullets start getting annoying.



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.

 The number of years in the market is irrelevant especialy considering various factors which should contribute to the 360 outselling the Wii and PS3.

 -Price Point , 1/2 the cost of the PS3 and same price as Wii in the UK.The PS2 wasn't half the price it launched @ after two years , you can't use history as evidence this generation is totaly different.

 -The current gen market is still experiencing huge growth in terms of hardware,software etc etc, there's no reason for the XBOX 360's demand to decline below that of the PS3 and Wii unless the 360 has sold to that vast majority of people it would have already.

-If the PS3 launched a year before the 360 , i'm 90% sure the 360 would have been 10-13 millions units behind the PS3 at this point.

FishyJoe said:It's one thing to make fanboyish comments. It's another to be constantly criticizing the site. One is tolerated, the other is annoying at best.

I should specify.

You said that it was okay to make fanboyish comments [like 'Nintendomination again'], but saying ['Teh site overtracks wii'] is intolerable while the first comment is.  And both shouldn't be tolerated, both of them are flamebait/trollish remarks, and one isn't above the other, they're both wrong.

HD consoles have been sliding in NA for a few weeks now. Is the recession making its presence known in the videogame market?

 If I remember correctly, my sarcasm was simply directed at the ignorace of another, I was not the instiagtor in this case.

 Of course, if I remember correctly, I don't remember you condemning what Nintendomination said. ;)
