So Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday fall in 2008/Thursday,Friday, Saturday Fall in 2009, but the days after Christmas have far higher sales than the first days of the new year so really they should be weighted more towards 2008 than 2009.



Tease.

Every consoles did a good job ,i don't want to see people bashing other consoles like Jake did.(and he's already banned...).Did something like that make yourself look much like mobs in my country.

Have fun with what we have will make you happy where ever you are or what ever you got. :)



I only got up to like page 15 so maybe someone made this point already. But basically people show a profund lack of knowledge of why people buy a console.

When people are buying a new console they don't consider only the games that came out this year. In fact the only situation that would happen would be if every year consoles became redundant and you needed an updated one to play new games.

The wii has enough games that people want at the moment. When someone looks into buying a wii they don't just look at what came out that month. They look at all it's games. The wii is at a point where it is popular and has a games library big enough to encourage new users to buy it. Whether it is getting new games at a rate of 6 a year or 20 a year is pretty irrelvant for now. New owners still have a big library to work through.

PS. I would also like to raise the point that Leo-J claims the PSN is equal to XBox live and both have 14million subscribers. Well yes but the 14million are divided between PS3 and PSP. And the vast majority certainly aren't on the PS3. He also seemed confused as to why the 360 was a HD console when it didn't play 'HD discs'. What the hell is a HD disc? There isn't some magic powder on blu-ray discs that let HD be shown, they just hold more data. There is no difference between 3 dvds and a normal blu-ray disc except the physical size difference. The only advantage blu-ray has over Dvd for gaming is it means you don't have to swap discs, that is it, everything.



Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.

The read speed of the PS3 Blu-Ray is not good though. In the end the medium trades proformance for compacity, which to me is a wash. The problem is the cost of the drive, I think they should have just stuck with DVD. In fact I would venture to say that the PS3 would be in far better shape if Sony had decided to not use it to shove a DOA format.

I bet DS breaks 2M this week. WOW



WOW I feel good and bad at the same time seeing those Wii numbers. It is good because Nintendo is always to me about gaming and innovation. They made gaming popular with the NES and SNES.

It is bad because they are destroying hardcore gaming little by little. I do feel like this is a recovery period with the WII for Nintendo. Increase their popularity and fanbase and by the time the WII HD is out, we can expect some more hardcore games added to the mixed with graphics matching those of the next gen from Microsoft and Sony.

Oh speaking of Sony, they did it to themself. Because they were so concentrated in winning the HD movie format war, and basicly wanted to control the living room with their overpriced PS3. They think because of past success that they can be the ipod of the gaming world (ie.releasing expensive a$$ players and will sell out because of name brand). Hope they learn their lesson for next generation, if they are still around in the gaming business.



wow. can't believe I missed this thread today. I guess 34 pages is a little late to catch up so here's my post. :)




Lol, you can change the amount of posts/page in Edit Profile. If you choose 10 posts / page then its obvious you'll have troubles reading the whole thread.
