Because it's not only getting old, it's now mostly used to rile up people tbh. Just a little more and you're in the realm of flame-baiting

I didn't say anything negative about any console.

I know you're smarter than that :)

 

You can perfectly rile up people by ignoring a console and focussing on other consoles, especially when you do that repeatedly.

Like how people exagerate minutae details? Like how the Wii gets ignored or shunned to the point where the owners of the console on a sales site now barely post about its sales at all? If I cause people to get riled up to the point where it raises some questions then I think its a good thing.

Seems better to post a huge thread about it, as most people won't recognize that in what you're trying to do.

 

Besides, it's not because people now go "yay" over the PS3, that they are the ones that need to be shaken awake, because when the 360 was riding its high, you were not doing this to make people get riled up about the other 'neglected' consoles.  Be blunt and straightforward about it, because the way you're going about it now, isn't reaching the people you're targetting anyway.

@papflesje :Squil can't reach the people because they already left or are about to leave this site... Look at this topic : this is a WWsales thread that has (as too often) turn the 'PS3 fanboy fest' route.

As often :

- Nintendo is ignored

- Be warn if you use logic ! (look at how Seece has been treated)

 

Bye.

The biggest news of the sales thread this week is how the PS3 managed to jump over 1 million. It's rather obvious that that is where the biggest talk lies. (Where were you when people were cheering because the 360 was pummelling the PS3 and everyone kept hammering the ps3? It's the other way around now, although most people are not actually directing their ventilations towards degrading the 360, but by cheering the ps3...)

 

About squill and reaching people: He's apparently trying to reach those same "yay"-sayers to consider other consoles too, so he could've been more clear about that, because those are not the people that have left.

 

About seece: It's not like Seece has always treated others with logic...

No other game could've propelled the PS3 THAT high. My predtiction was right, and I can't wait for The Game of the Generation!

I hope you're not talking about FF13? FF13 is far from the game of the generation. Just wait until you've played it and you'll find out.

It's not even the best game I've played this month. I'm guessing sales will be dropping really soon for the game and not just because of the normal FF drop-off, but because it's not that good.

OT: I guess I'm included in this PS3 1 million week since I bought a FF13 PS3 just after the FF13 release.

That is so true. The biggest news of the sales thread this week is the PS3 managing 1 Million WW because this is something that most people though was  impossible. Although this week sales has a lot of interesting news in it like:

1) How great NSMB Wii is still selling on its third week

2) FF XIII make more than the double of the previous best selling game on the PS3 in Japan and being the first million seller on the PS3 in Japan

3) Wii and DS simply taking over the this Christmas

4) PS3 taking over the the XBOX360 in Others LTD

These definitely sound like interesting news but not even near as big as the "PS3 SELLING 1 MILLION WORLDWIDE"

As often, this week 's big news (that has to be confirmed) is PS3 related if we listen to Sony's fans. This last year this was the BAU of VGC.

I don't think we have read the same thead ...  There were lots of cheerleading (which is fine) but also lots of PS3 fanboys 'taking revenge' (which is not fine).

I am a very long time lurker (see when my account was created), and i can say you that this site is more and more becoming a PS3 fanboys fest.

Lots of quality posters have left because they were consistently annoyed  and insulted "because they were Sony haters".

You've stated before that you don't like FF since VIII, and that you didn't like FFX, either.

If you were a big fan/liked FFX, your statement would've mattered. FF XIII mirrors FFX as far as I've heard, and FFX is my favorite game... so it has a good shot at knocking FFX off... and being my and lots of other peoples' GOTG.

I agree that those taking revenge, should be taken care of speedily. But on the other hand, the way Xbox 360 fans have acted in the past (and sometimes still now) is also not how things should be. Don't turn a blind eye to that either. (and about those Sony haters... there are actually plenty of people on this site - some even acknowledged it themselves - that just are Sony haters, no matter what happens - same as there are anti-MS or 360 people here too. If they are and can't take being called that, then good riddance - on both sides)
