Lol@DonWii






Around the Network

Hahaha, nice find DonWii.

Now we just swim upmarket and steal all their games.

Damn, at this rate the PS3 is gonna sell negative a million consoles when MGS4 comes out. Turns out Halo 3 actually WAS the last hurrah, and GTA4 missed the boat.



I guess this is the reason why the pres. of Rockstar gaming came out and said "FUCK casual gaming"

Dudes are SALTY as shit, kicking and screaming and acting like a bunch of children while asking WHY IS THE WII SELLING, WII HAS NOT GAMES, and on and on and on.

I own both a 360 and Wii have fun with both (personal and professinal) and have been saying what we're seeing since day 1



www.talkxbox.com - It is what it is!

@Madyson

Yes, as I posted above Microsoft only claimed a 54% increase in the US.



@ Donwii.... Just amazing... xD

So, are the PS3 and 360 anywhere close to the core saturation that the Xbox and GameCube had? According to VGC hardware sales dropped abruptly after a very good week, and NPD shows little of anything. Could it be that most of the people who wanted the game already had one or both consoles?

Oh, and don't worry about third party support on the Wii anymore. Every third party in the world just saw these numbers, and as soon as they can reinstall their jaws they will be announcing some stellar AAA games that'll make your head spin faster than Sony's PR department. Blammo!

I sincerely hope not! If 3rd party devs have still veen waiting till now to join in it means another 1.5+ years wait while they make a game.

@Diomedes - i though we always undertrack PS3?


 So would you consider yourself with that last comment a high level of professionalism?

Your numbers are way off and in fact to care about you only make comments like that hmmmz;..


 no thats called sarcasm. You don't have to always be professional on a message board. IF you did message boards would be boring as hell.

I wish people wouldn't troll or brag so much over nintendo winning. I mean there just numbers right. I loved the gamecube even if it didnt sell the most, why? because the games kicked ass and im sure the same thing will happen with the 360 and ps3. They might not be first but im sure quality games will come out for them because of first party support.

No, you're wrong. HD consoles have nothing to offer but good graphics.
