@lazyrider : you don't look well enough, I see plenty of damage control in this thread.

Anyway, PS3 wins again.

Congrats to Sony for selling 950 k PS3 for two weeks in a row and hugely outselling their cheaper competitor again.

So be it...

For me damage control is justifying low sales ("it was sold out", "snow storms slowed business down that week", "X gam only had 2 dyas of sales", etc... are some classics).

What is happening here are simply people saying that the PS3 did not sell one million (based on the figures being used, ie VGChartz) which is indeed true.

I would agree that Seece saying the "wait til adjustements" post was damage control but not he ended being right...

Anyway, nice flame baiting with your last sentence, real slick.

How is this mess of adjustments anyone other than Sony fans fault who have spent the last 2 weeks boasting how the PS3 had a 1 million week and the 360 hadn't this generation? The reason people are mocking the Sony camp is due to their own arrogance on here not because they're actually bothered about the numbers. CGI I think you need to read the thread again, while I can understand you have a preference its not hard to see where the reprisals have come from and why.

You're right they didn't sell 1 million, they sold 1.9 million... in 2 weeks. It's actually a lot more impressive.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Geez you are sensitive! You are on all the threads defending the fact that the PS3 sold well when all anyone is saying is that it didn't sell 1 million.

For the highlighted part, I was speaking in general terms and was not specific to this week's sales of the PS3 (or any other console for that matter). I was only trying to define what I perceive as damage control in general, and that usually happens when low sales occur. Which as you pointed out was not the PS3's case last week.

This whole "PS3 1 million" fiasco reminds me of DmeisterJ's glory days on VGC when he kept yelling (cause it was in capital letters....) that "LBP will be huge" and how that backfired in his face when, despite selling great people kept downplaying it by saying "Well it sold well but it ain't huge".

This is just a whole lot of posts for nothing... (mine included)

^great retort. keep wasting your time then.

you are a pain sir...

We have to all be PS3 fans now? Yes you are a Sony fan and it shows. Yes, most of the people saying "lol, it didn't hit 1 million" are not Sony fans. Did you figure this out yourself?

I am at work and a bit bored so thanks for the entertainment.

Come on... -_- this thread was revived jokingly and the first thing people do is start trying to save face for going gaga over the 1 million week... it's good sales yes, no one took away from that, if a few people find it funny that people went ape shit over Ps3 selling a million in a week, its not a big deal, it is kinda funny, best thing for those that did go crazy over the 1 million week is to take it in stride, go along with it like Carl did lol

Its not the first time that a fanbase as a whole made fools of themselves over something so small, see The Conduit.

thank you Max, that was all I am trying to say and yes it is not reserved to one fan base.

And yes, CGI is getting under my skin so I shall keep replying (especially if he keeps using "ironic" in his posts, cause i find that ironic).

^ theres to much in this thread
