PS3 sales more than halved compared to last week, and 360 sales more than doubled. So that’s neat.

- PSP – 43,726
- Wii – 24,726
- PS3 – 18,354
- Xbox 360 – 12,759

Quoted from the article:
“PS3 sales more than halved compared to last week, and 360 sales more than doubled. So that’s neat.”
You’ve got the NXE advertised on your website background, and now comments like this. Have you been handed a big wedge of Microsoft moolah or something?!
Psychotext said:
Not just a big wedge, a fooking HUGE wedge. You do know these guys are just Eurogamer shills right? We all know how bought and paid for Eurogamer are.

You know you’ve made it when randoms pop up to tell you how bias you are.
absolutezero said:
Its not just randoms remember.
G1GAHURTZ said:
I don’t think it matters how bias VG247 is, when the majority of the posters here are Sony fanboys.
absolutezero said:
By majority you mean Shat right?
G1GAHURTZ said:
Shats is a majority in himself!
Ft said:
We’re not all sony fanboys. Some of us are just tired of all the bias we see on these websites, like MS is giving out handouts or something.
You’d think these guys would have half a brain to keep personal comments to themselves too….
morriss said:
I doubt very much it was a personal comment
No_PUDding said:
There is bias, but it differs.
And what the hell at Sony fanboys here?
Maybe in your mind Sony’s house is burning down, and you think everyone is a Sony fanboy becuase they don’t see the flames.
The thing is you need to feel comfortabl;e in yourself, that you ahve a middleground you believe in.
Becuase not even site owners of Gametrailers are devoid of bias. No one is impartial.

I think he’s referring to the: “So that’s neat.” comment that also managed to enrage g00nerz.

Why is not possible not to care?
G1GAHURTZ said:
I’m impartial.
I hate all arrogant, market dominating, Japanese corporations with total impartiality.
Truk said:
Hmm. Microsoft are arrogant and market dominating. Do you just not like the Japanese?
Anyway, surely “that’s neat” is just referring to the quality of one halving and one doubling, i.e. it’s a nice symmetry. In other words: neat.
Silly people.
G1GAHURTZ said:
No, I’d love to marry a Japanese lady!
Psychotext said:
Truk… so that’s basically racism then? Because you’re right about MS.
G1GAHURTZ said:
Shut it PT!
And the point about Japanese is that they’ve never cared about Europe.
I remember waiting months and months for games that the Japanese were already playing, while Europe waited for a 2nd rate port.
Psychotext said:
Why don’t you love me GHz? I may not be a Japanese lady but I’m warm and cuddly.

“Maybe in your mind Sony’s house is burning down, and you think everyone is a Sony fanboy becuase they don’t see the flames.”
That’s a VERY good point.
G1GAHURTZ said:
“I may not be a Japanese lady but I’m warm and cuddly.”
LOL.
Truk said:
Why should the a Japanese company care about European gamers if they’re not going to make a profit. I wouldn’t.
Don’t take it so hard. I doubt it’s personal.

@Truk
“Neat” is also used in other ways, more predominantly the US, where it can mean “very good” or “excellent”. I just read it as the more obvious “tidy” meaning.
Truk said:
I know that, DrDamn (”Well tonight we have Schopenhauer.” “That’s neat!”). I just thought the context suggested it was more likely the ordered meaning. And I can’t imagine Pat using the word in that sense.
Anyway. It’s late Friday afternoon, I’ve a headache and I’m likely coming across as a bit of a penis.
Psychotext said:
Friday. Neat.
(It’s ok Truk, I edited… it seemed a little cruel.
)
Truk said:
OK. Fine. All of one.
edit: Meh. Didn’t bother me.
morriss said:
I thought it was more of a flippant, “I don’t care,” remark.
Like let’s say you loathe football, and you’re reading out scores for someone. You could say, “Man U won 4-0, Arsenal won 2-0,” so that’s neat. i.e. “whatever”
Seems like it was just me though.
Truk said:
Whatever it was, I think those with at least half a brain agree it wasn’t a biased comment.
Although maybe Pat is sat in his Xbox-shaped throne laughing at us.
morriss said:
I think he’s probably just laughing.
