Those hardware figures are hilarious. In a wrong way.
deftangel said:
So anyway I had this theory about what Sony might say about software sales in their NPD PR but Shatner said I was wrong so I’m sure they won’t
Clearly these figures prove he was right as they’ll be gobbing off about the ground they’ve made on the Wii instead 
On a related note, I think there is something in what Ms. Frazier said about YoY comparisons but I’m expecting lots of “recessionprooflol” commentary regardless.

MLB!?
xD
I see no one is announcing they are pulling out of this hardware cycle just yet.
Seraphemz said:
I wouldnt knock the game itself anasui, cuz that game was really good. Im a PS3 fan and this is really dissapointing just because it gives all the idiots that are out there buying a crappy system something to gloat about…
From all those people that bought the 360….16% of them will have it break down. And thats low balling the failure rate because i’ve heard it at being 30%
Still… 360 wins again….in the US.. where im at.. with all these other dumb americans.
Edit: PT…am I making these numbers up?

Oh dear.
anasui said:
dont get me wrong Seraphemz, Im not bashing the game itself.
FeaturePreacher said:
Wow, if the 360 is such a crappy system and it’s outselling the ps3, could it be that ps3 is such a much worse system?
Shatner said:
Actually, Deft, I accused you of applying ’straw man’ methods to your statements which are still entirely correct.
In fact, my statements towards you will always remain correct as they are about what the situation was at the time you made your ‘conspiracy’ claims. In fact, as of today, I’ve still yet to see anybody behaving in the way you insist they were in your pre-emptive dismissals.
You simply can’t prove you were “right” because the information you were basing your argument on at the time didn’t exist.
Lucky guesswork isn’t the same as factual information – however keen you are to crow about it.

The curse of Pachter strikes again! I bet Sony are plotting to have him killed.

It means that people buy crappy systems just cause they are cheaper..
Are you telling me that the best system is Wii because it outsells both??
theevilaires said:
Seraphemz you can’t teach xbots logic. These are the same guys who would say raping a girl is easier and cheaper than actually talking and taking them out to dinner and stuff. So they prefer the cheaper way.
Psychotext said:
Tasteless much? Wow.
Seraphemz said:
I thought that it was funny actually… but then again.. i am a PS3 fan so I dont know what is good or not…
PT – its just you.
Psychotext said:
Maybe it’s just me then. I just don’t tend to find talk of raping girls that amusing.

Rape is no laughing matter.

spiral im not clicking your link. i meant no harm to actually victims of that offense.
