The ironic thing is that I think my first post on this site was to create a thread entitled "This site looks like crap in firefox!". Fortunately ioi was nice enough to help me with my issues and I have been posting like mad ever since...seriously, my post count is going up faster than Wii sales =P

I hope all the new members enjoy the site and I hope that all those who are reading this who have not signed up, will take 2 or 3 minutes and join the rest of us. The more people who sign up and add value to the site the more valuable it becomes, and I mean that literally not figuratively. The site is only as good as its information and it's ability to change, and as long as there is a community to keep everything going there will be a site worth coming to. So for those several hundred "guests" I see who are still reading this, go ahead sign up and get in the discussions. I promise we don't bite unless you do =)

I was attracted to this site from http://nexgenwars.com because it has a better site and the numbers seem better-researched and it has a WAY better site. (The duplication was accidental but I'm leaving it in!) Everything is laid out for us with comparison tools to boot.

So naturally, visiting this site regularly, sooner or later I was bound to run across a thread that just FORCED me to sign up to put my two cents in, and then I was hooked.

[edit: There is one awesome thing on nexgenwars though -- a link to the video Haloid by montyoum! Check it out at http://montyoum.gametrailers.com/gamepad/ ]

I found this site after I was looking for something similar to Nexgenwars. After a few google searches, I stumbled upon this site.

I was a lurker for about 3 months, just signed up to look at more software numbers for Japanese Weekly and American Monthly(Oh how far the site has come).

My first post was in the "Say something about the person posting above you" thread. A good way to break the ice, especially since I actually knew something about the people posting there. Took me a while to get my pic, sig, and profile up
and running. Then, I left the site for a week and deleted everything. I had grown tired of people complaining about the same stuff every day.

I came back, with my new avatar (previous one is in my photo album), and ready to contribute a lot more to the site.

Great job ioi.

I found this site while looking at Gamespot. Everyone had their little banners for how many consoles had been sold...I think I saw Nex Gen wars first. Then this one, then consolewars. I kept watching this site...found out about the nexgen auto counter and completely dismissed console wars based upon the fact that their numbers were just ridiculous.

I posted a few times, declared the forum a bust, but remained hooked in by the numbers. Then the mods started be very proactive about disciplining and educating people about what's allowed and what's not....so the forum rocks.

Seriously, this place has the best forum of any site. The intelligent stuff is top notch, the casual threads are hilarious, and everyone takes their lumps and rolls with it.

My name is mike....long time guest, long time lurker, avid poster...now.
