Forums - Website Topics - VGChartz in print! (Major newspaper)

Today a local paper ran an article fanboy rant about how awesome the DS is, and used VGChartz numbers throughout the piece, including for Nintendogs software numbers.  (The Star Tribune, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is #13 in the US according to Wikipedia, with a distribution of over 345,000 daily and 574,000 on Sundays.)  It took up most of the front page of E section and part of the back page.  (E = "source", or tech/games/TV/movies/comics/art/food.)  It included a giant picture of the DS on a nice-looking camera stand peripheral.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Oh, I agree. 

For instance, on his 'reasons I LUV my DS' list he has backwards compatibility right at #1, as if the PS3 and Wii don't have the same damn thing, and the 360 to a lesser degree.

And for #3, he rightly praises the DS Lite redesign, but apparently didn't get the news about the slimmed-down PSP.

They should make a new ds game for this guy. "Poop training" Step 1: DON'T WIPE YOUR ARSE WITH THE DS.
