Great press for the site! Lead story of the night!

"The torch has officially been passed, and it is time for super Mario Brothers to take a seat. According to the stat-crunching website VGChartz with a z, that means its street, Wii Sports is the best belling video game of all time."

They then give the numbers, and follow it up with a yet another doom and gloom story about Sony closing major divisions early next month.

I see what you did there... you...! >_>

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Sweet, but I hope we don't get too many people from that fanbase...

That's awesome. The site does a great job of not only stat crunching but also moderating threads. It also has a more mature vibe than the other gaming forums. I would frequent the site for a while for info and such but mostly to read the posts, before finally joining. I think the shout out on X-play is well deserved.

Cheers.

Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:

If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
