vanguardian1 said: Uhm... the PS3 "Aussie" was the biggest disappointment, last time I checked. We won't know how the PS3 is doing in europe 'till we see sales info from May? At this point it's a possibility it may drop off like the other 2 markets have. Then again, it may not. We won't know for sure. But Japan's PS3 situation isn't likely to change in the next few months, at the very least. And to compare the Wii to the Dreamcast is absurd, Sega could have only "dreamed" to have the advantages the Wii has gotten this generation, it was never selling out consistently in 3 territories well after chrismas (not even 1), it never had such fantastic publicity, it never had 3rd parties jumping onto the bandwagon in such an insane manner. :) I love my Dreamcast and the 10 games I have for it, but it's comparing apples and oranges, essentially.
7 of 10 top games last week in aussie were PS3 games.

albionus said: No PS360.... Nintendo hasn't won the fight yet. It's like the World Series or basketball championships, its best 4 out of 7. Nintendo won the first game and has a decent lead in the second but that doesn't mean Nintendo has won the series yet. It does mean that Nintendo is better positioned to win it all and that Nintendo fans have more reason to cheer at the moment. As for Japan's numbers being weekly, convert them to monthly, I thought the PS3's floor was around 120-140,000 and it's trending to 80-90,000 per month.
MS fans have room to cheer as the 360 is still number 1 and looks to stay that way. With 360 taking key PS titles and having HUGE ones coming, Halo 3 and GTA4, MS fans have more to cheer for. Right now it's MS that seems best positioned to win it all. The 360 has a lead and has alot of good games, at this rate the Wii can't overtake it this year.

Clever wordplay. At gamespot wii fans call MS and Sony fans cows and lemmings. It's all rather annoying.

AKA, you are 12. I have no misery and you need to grow up, people like you are one of the reasons I stopped backing nintendo. I backed them from 1987-2005.

There are no lemmings. I hate it when people attack the fans of other systems. Can't we all just get along?

Is there anyway I can ignore this guy or not see his posts? FYI, It's not childish to want a system to fail. It is childish to take joy in pissing off people who hate your system.
