I do so love raw numbers and the percentages they generate. Anyway, before posting arguments to the contrary, please note the framework this is going by, as noted above. It won't do much good to argue against it in a different context, unless you happen to be able to give a different purely quantitative value index to work with (ie. not a tallying of opinions).

Nooo.... I need another pointless thread with subjective opinions! Not raw data! You're screwing things up here. Go back to where you came from!

What can I say? Economists (and economists-in-training) are spoilsports. It's our job.

But that screwattack guy said Nintendo isn't number 1.

What? Since when did N have a striking market capitalization point?

Hey, I just present the facts. It's up to others to twist, bend, deny, and blatantly ignore them.

^ What screwattack guy?

He must have had an OPINION. Right? I always go with opinions over raw data.

Yeah, I probably should have. But that wasn't in my Excel spreadsheet. Which reminds me, should I add PS2 data to the 2008 Console Sales by Week spreadsheet? Cast your vote now.

Wii sells the most, so I agree. It was another wii year. I just wished for better software but there are some promising titles in 09 I'm interested in.
