Console Sales and Debate Thread

[cliffbo]

Just watch yourself since you dont want to open Pandoras box there, you'll only find fanboy origami....

read what i wrote! have i said Nintendo are shit? have i said they will lose the console war? what exactly is upsetting some people here? Nintendo have done a brilliant job and the success speaks for itself...

[masteratt]

i don't understand how you are reading what i am writing lol. check back at some of the threads i have started and you will find one about a duel console future... that is where we are at. i apologize to hardcore Nintendo fans who are interested in hardcore games, but 99.9% of adverts on British TVs are selling it based on 'fun' and everyone barring one that i know with the console is playing it for that reason. it's up to Nintendo to change that mindset, although then they risk a direct comparison. they went out of their way to brand the Wii as a 'new generation' of consoles and not 'next generation' to avoid the comparison and monopolize the niche market that they are doing so well in now. that was their strategy.

Okay great for them....What is the discussion now?

I admit I am a bit tired but to me you are just jumping..Hell, jet boosting from one point to another without any clear link.
I don't even know what you are discussing now.

first it was HD market effecting Wii sales, now it's Nintendo's strategy about how their console is fun...??

I really don't mean to pick on you cliffbo, it just seems that way because no matter how hard I try to understand your point you just seem to be running around in circles.

i'll wait to see if those figures are verified elsewhere before i praise them

[PSXBatou]

Aren't those Famitsu numbers? If so I'd call them valid

[cliffbo]

i tend to wait for two or three reports before i see them as fact. if this is true though, it's a very good sign. are there any games coming out in that territory next week that could keep the momentum going?

Im sure they finished the next Dynasty Warriors already. I mean the other one HAS been out for a week already. THey had more then enough time. I mean how long can it take to change the title number and reprint the game.

LOL... i could never understand why that franchise did so well! it does though, so it's all good (well the result not the game)

[Viper]

Nothing next week will release for PS3 but here is what PS2 and PSP are getting. Wii Fit releases so that might have an impact on sales for other systems if it turns out to be a big title.

[PS2]

11/29

* SD Gundam G Generations Spirits

* Another Century Episode 2 Special Vocal Edition

* Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes


[PSP]

11/29

* Disgaea Portable with Network Play

[cliffbo]

i wouldn't be surprised to see the Wii outsell the PS3 next week then. maybe the PSP could close the DS sales gap with that title though.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

so when it's a friend it's 'he's got a right to his opinion' when it's someone not quite as close it's 'that's enough now' end of discussion, well you know what i mean lol

No. when it's anyone, and you're a broken record brow-beating the rest of us, and perpetuating a dead argument, it's time for me to intervene.

[Diresu]

Yea, them fat japanese people need to get in shape good..unlike us Americans.

*shudders*

Also, the only people that know why the Dynasty Warriors franchise keeps selling well are the people who buy the game. But i think they live in caves.

That's funny, as a friend of mine told me this summer she always had trouble in regards of being "regular" for the three following days after having a hamburger there.
