Where did that blackboard joke start? I love the way it keeps getting updated...

Like I said, this kind of foolishness is sad...

C'mon, have a sense of humor

There is some truth to this

You know, Ii think there needs to be a blackboard with all the items that will kill the Wii.

Probably twice as long as the ps3 savior list.

The Wii has been a success so it is to late to kill it

But that bingo board is funny

Not a bad idea. In the past we used a bingo board, but maybe we should do an update.


The bingo board is primarily useful in a thread where every reason under the sun is being dragged out. When someone is just harping on the latest reason, its not so useful. Though it could never be as smooth as the blackboard because the posters who have in the past appealed to the items on the blackboard dropped them quickly as each failed to make a difference; wii bashing has never been as clean as PS3 beleiving.

 the Bingo board should be applied to the invisible walls podcast.

Rol is correct about the blackboard.

Slim has been added to the list because of the endless predictions of Ps3 dominance, much of which are in this thread.

Here are some numbers for you.

If PS3 sales were increased by 500% in Japan by the Slim, and the Wii stopped selling completely. By Sep 2010, there would STILL be a 2.5 million Wii lead.

keeping a 500% increase, and the Wii only sold 1/3 of what it is now, the gap would still be over 3 million.

this is one of the worst threads i've ever seen.  There is actually a bunch of people in this thread that actually agreed with the OP, despite it being lightyears beyond impossible.  I swear some people think the slim is the cure to all the world's problems.

Wait what?!? if this is true there's something very very wrong with some of the people in this thread...



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

You got it backwards. The overconfidence created by the Slim (like this thread here) is the reason why the blackboard joke continues.

That's a select few people, not the entire community.

That blackboard exists out of insecurity, just like many of these threads...

Do you post in this thread out of insecurity?



Tease.

this thread proves that it's more than a few people, and one of them is CGI himself.  He said he thinks the gap will be 2 million by sept 2010.  Try doing the math on that a sec buddy.

How am I insecure because of my prediction?

That doesn't match up especially since I don't agree with OP.

go ahead and break down your prediction to show how it could happen reasonably.  You're telling me that the PS3 is gonna outsell the wii by 3.11 million in 1 year, even though it's only sold 3.3 million in 3 years.  Face it, it's a fanboy prediction.
