Forums - Sony - IGN against PS3?!?!

Wait, so why exactly is this article bad and so against the PS3?

assuming everyone on the face of the planet knows these are American numbers, the title of the article should still state "In America".

The way the article is written, as well as the way they talk about Aaron Greenberg, you'd think Microsoft actually beat someone at something.

I honestly don't see what's so bad about this article.

What is so bad is that in november the PS3 outsold xbox by 600 k. It was of the best month ever for PS3. And they post an article about how Xbox has sold more unit in november, without saying anywhere that it was NA only lol. For us aware of the numbers,  know that it is NA only, but anyone one else that would read that would be sure that Xbox is still selling more than PS3. This is biase and bad publicity.

It's NPD-- that's NA only so they really don't have to say it's NA only.

If you wouldnt know video game very well and read this article, would you think that it could be possible that PS3 outsold xbox by 600 K in november? Why post the succes of Xbox selling 100K more in NA and not post the success of PS3 selling 600 K more worlwide. I know video games myself and didnt even knew that NPD was NA only.



The 360 crew of IGN, posts an article about NPD numbers from a Microsoft employee, and somehow IGN is against the PS3?

I'm with Twesterm on this.

IGN = IGN US.

IGN UK = just that

IGN Australia = just that

When they publish stories they usually talk about their respective regions.

Im sure IGN Germany would be all over PS3 outselling 360 if it existed.

IGN US have always post news from all around the world.

Well your responsible of what your publishing. They should have someone reviewing the article before accepting to put them on the site normally.

 

Edit: and after the thread title there is ?!?!, as im not sure they are against PS3, maybe just an error accepting to release this article.

This post is proof that many people will be mislead by this article. How the hell am I supposed to assume PS3 outsold 360 by half a million if I just read an article titled: 360 Beat PS3 in Novermber?



yeah, they could have precised ...

doesnt matter at the end, the smart will get it, the troll will troll



Time to Work !

Hmm...I wouldn't say they're against the PS3, but the article is very misleading indeed.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

It's a conspiracy LOL!

Everyone in the world is against the PS3.

VGC, NPD, IGN, EVERYONE!!!!!



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
