Forums - Sales - Where did the people interested in sales figures go to?

So Nintendo, MS and Sony just gave some numbers regarding sales on E3, and noone mentioned it here. Has this site's forums finally been lost to the console fanboys who only discuss the fact that the console they like won E3? During the presentations we had some frustrated guys who bashed a lot blogging live on this site for what cause? Sure they were there to get updates on the latest games, but they could have atleast mentioned the numbers on a site that has charts in it's name. Instead they found it necesary to discuss the lenght of promo's during the showcase.

 

I can't be the only one being annoyed by this right, or am I the only one here who simply cares for facts and statistics and not the opinions of 2 guys who don't even do their job properly.

I remember hearing Uncharted shipped 2.6m units.

I'm waiting for the E3 hype to go away so we can get back to core business which is tracking sales. I'm missing my weekly Japan preview fix. At least there's still some PAL charts info dribbling in to keep give me a little facts and figures fix.

Nintendo said that they sold more third-party game in the Americas last year than than the 360 and DS is second.

Its the E3 madness, happens every year, give it a week, by then everyone will be back to sales

It's the biggest gaming event of the year. For a few days, NOBODY cares about sales. Except you, it seems.

Just sit back and enjoy the show, and in a few days (wait for the post-E3 buzz) everything will be back to normal. I think it's quite refreshing, actually.

People are already talking about the Wii's sales in Japan and the other games' sales that they announce.
