In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

If laughing is the best medicine and marijuana makes you laugh

Is marijuana the best medicine?

“If any creator has not played Mario, then they’re probably not a good creator. That’s something I can say with 100 percent confidence. Mario is, for game creators, the development bible.

Dang, I can only imagine the DLC with that game! /sarcasm

OT: There were a few threads made about the adjustments. A lot had to do with the 360's success in the UK.

well considering they got 23 million shipped some months ago.

Yeah... and the Wii shipped 51 million months ago too.... the consoles are not selling their stock as fast as they were last year, the difference in sales and shipments is going to be bigger until either the three companies slow down shipments in the face of falling demand, or demand increases.

i really dont care if sales reach that of the wii

i just want to know how overall sales could drop from what they were a month ago

They didn't drop, new information can mean adjustments to the total sales....... so the last 5 weeks for instance might have looked like this before adjustments:

120k - 120k - 115k - 110k - 110k

Then after adjusting, the past weeks are all lowered:

100k - 95k - 95k - 90k - 90k

That's 105k lost for those 5 weeks alone, if that trend extended back for a few months then quite a large chunk of sales could be "lost" (even though they were ever actually sold in the first place)

There's only one episode so far. It's called "Bring Down the Pants."

VGChartz is big enough to fix any errors they may make, instead of letting them ride. VGChartz's graphs are good enough for me to trust.
