wow, guys. What I said was a JOKE!

I guess im the "it" that you are revering to? Calm down I was just cracking a joke about diomedes always saying the PS3 is undertracked.

Famitsu is published by Enterbrain. Enterbrain had a professional Marketing Data Service.

Marketing data :

Say that the Media Create data is the " real data " is simply asinine not only because MC and Enterbrain have the same accuracy but because extrapolated data are more or less accurate not " real " and "false ".

PS : I'm refering to Diomedes not Kamil.

==> +1 for you !

Soriku,

I dont know why, but I dont think MG will make the Wi sales numbers explode.
Not because the game is bad but because +5k,1 week before MG, is quite low ... dont you think ?
If I remember well, in NA, sales were already significatively rising 1 week before Halo3, and not just by 5K.
