No.

So?

Anyway, great holdiay numbers for all and congrats to PS3 for the 1 million figure.

Not to my rant and annoyance of all the Sony fans that came to this thread. I clrearly prefer 360 and Wii fans than Sony fans nad threads like these are why! You get a guy (Seece) discuss the topic and get hammered by the usual omnipresent Sony fans of the moment (CGI in this case while Darth is away) as well as a mod (Monty) who apparently likes to think of himself as God (eg his discussion with Manuelf being a perfect example).

Of course, this is why I love this site (and the numbers of course).

Oh, and I lurk a lot so I know everything 5such as rock being arrogant lately...)

PS: I am only half serious

I sure hope you weren't.

I really hope you weren't so serious, and all the time...

Elaine: I will never understand people

Jerry: They're the worst.

^ No worries. You are alright. You post a lot and take thins pretty seriously but no exagerations or trolling in your posts. You just sit on a team (Sony fans) that tend to get on my nerves in threads such as these.

My baby is on my lap making have to type quickly so apologioes for being confusing...

@ CGI - Amen to that. For some reason I prefer Nintendo hence the Sony guys sometimes rubbing me the wrong way... But I have all consoles and play all of them as this way I get the best of everything.

You clearly got a point there.

And I always find it funny when people (most of time the same person) throw this sentence: ''Has there ever been a non-market leader (or a third place console)that did this before?''

You clearly missed the sarcasm. Oh well...

How can I miss it if there wasnt sarcasm in his post?

The highlighted would be of assistance.

And what about the word ''half''?

Whatever this doesnt change the fact that he made a pretty good point and doesnt change the fact either that the ''Has there ever been a non-market leader (or a third place console)that did this before?'' sentence is indeed very funny.

YES!

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!

Much as fans of the HD Twins would like to think otherwise, the Game of the Generation has already been released. Hint: The title rhymes with, "Bee Shorts," and it's sold several times more than FFXIII ever will.

Re, PS3 sales and "Wii is doomed": An aggressive price-cut and one of the most hotly anticipated core games of the season in Japan, and the Wii still outsells it this week by a half-million. I think that's all that needs to be said.

Game, not bundled Tech Demo.

Wii Sports is a game, Xen. And Garcian is right, FFXIII won't sell more than Wii Sports in Japan - a market where neither have been bundled.

Was I ever talking sales of games... in Japan? I was talking critical acclaim.

And in my eyes, it's just a glorified tech demo thats meant to get you into motion controls. Fun for an hour, no more.

Well.. I can't blame him for bringing sales since you said "Game of the generation". When I hear "Game of the generation" what comes to my mind are sales and impact, but obviously you aint mean any of that since Wii Sports has both. Did you mean critical acclaim? By who, reviewers? If so you must be confused since that spot is owned by GTA IV.

What does it need to be called a game? If Wii Sports is a tech demo are all the games that include "minigames" or sports tech demos too? Well, it's obvious that you're in a small minority since the average Wii owner has played 35 hours of Wii sports.

But... but but but... look at those last-gen graphics! And the minigames! And... and it doesn't even have a story!

Xen's stuck in the "hardcore bubble," just like so many others. He can't understand how or why Nintendo's "tech demo" has been/will be played and loved by tens of millions more people than his "game of the generation."

"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
