Man, I wish I was here when this thread was in full swing - looked like fun!
| The_vagabond7 said: lol, this thread was epic. RPG was just ignorant. He didn't seem to understand how anything worked and equated his ignorance with being right. "If I don't know the answer, then there isn't one!" kind of reasoning is really annoying. Kudos to ioi for personally banning him. Actually I take that back, kudos to ioi and thesource for actually trying to debate him in a civil manner and then using a ban as a last resort after his ignorance had been shown and he resorted to flaming. |
What do you expect from GAF? Yeah, I love this site's moderation - tough, but only used as a last resort.
| RPG said: *clap clap clap* Edit - TheSource it's pretty much smart guesstimations then? |
Holy lord, how ignorant can you get?
Let me tell you this. The following companies are all reporting estimated sales, since, you know, they are not doing an inventory of all retailers worldwide on a weekly/monthly basis:
VGChartz
GFK
Famitsu
Chart Track
Gartner
Forrester
IDC
Your Mother
God
Whats so hard to understand here? Its all estimates made on models trying to account for sales trends and historic data and tidbits of actualy sales data from a select group of stores.

Ok so as a conclusion to this thread, is Wii at 50% or not? Cause it seems like the majority here is saying no.

No it is not. It's only at 50% if you take out alot of sales data from various locations.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

You sir are the ignorant one! God knows EXACTLY how many consoles are sold in the world. He's omnipotent after all!
Signature goes here!
Omnipotent means "all powerful." That wouldn't actually help anyone know how many grains of sand there are on a beach, or how many consoles have been sold.
Omniscient means "all knowing."

Damn it, i was going to say that.
In reponse to psrock and my above comments regarding 50% I think we were both hinting at the "nothing" scenario also. It's just that for quite some time certain Wii fanboys were saying that as soon as the Wii hits the magical 50% developers are, out of necessity, going to shift most of their resources and big franchises to the Wii. If it's not starting to happen at 48-49% then i can't see it happening at 50%.

Damn! I screwed up... but he's also omniscient so I stand by my analysis!
