Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

I think most people who got TP at launch played with friends, because it had the "ZOMG NEW ZELDA" effect, so everybody wanted to watch.

But you actually LIED to the Nintendo Channel? You're killing the honor system for everybody. Now Nintendo will have to send their gestapo door to door to actually monitor our gaming habits.

 

 



Ahh WTF is going on.

That^ is what happens when you use rich text reply (or quote) from a Wii now.

It never used to load the rich text box, so it was fine before, but now it loads but doesn't work with the Wii.

Here is what I put:
"The question it asked was whether it was more fun alone or with friends, so I did not lie.



I have to admit I am dissappointed DKC2 and DKC3 are being overshadowed by DKC1 in VC sales. I love all three, but I think the other two should beat the first combined, at least. Also, nice seeing SM64 with so many downloads, that game is one of the best games ever.



Everyday I'm hustlin'.

Does anyone else now get this Big Brother feeling when they're looking at their Wii? What else is it whispering to Nintendo about me...?

Does this look about right to everyone? Not sure if I'm interpreting this correctly, and I can't get online with my Wii right now to check myself.

Very interesting to see the VC sales numbers... So for the FF:CC WiiWare Game, is this a flop or not? With those sales numbers, I wonder if Square made money.



Wii Code: 4819-7684-2396-4558

From what I can see in those numbers, I would hope that there are far more people that play offline.



@The Source: No, the numbers are very misleading on the Nintendo channel. It only shows sales and length played based on the people who have downloaded the channel and allowed Nintendo to peak at their data. It doesn't include game sales or time played etc by people who refuse to give this info. It's a small percentage of total play time and sales.

Have a look at it a bit more in depth and try and figure out the magic numbers.
