I can't believe that this thread was stickied being presented the way it was. Considering how you get modded for every little thing here, it's surprising that what is basically a stealth troll thread gets put up with no editing whatsoever.

I agree 100%. I think I'd like an explanation from one the mods on this one.

i was thinking the same thing, i just got off "vacation" for much less :P
Epic win for the DS and PS2? Or maybe just a bunch of fails for the 360 and PS3? Wii doesn't really 'need' sales for some time now *sarcasm* Sold more than enough already.

Mm hmm. Misleading topic title is misleading. Not to mention...well, you already covered the "stealth troll" elements within it so...
Wow what a dumb thread. PS2 sold less than 360. Do the mods know how to read.

The funny part if the TC was honest and put the 360 out sold all 3 Sony systems you know the thread would never been stickied. So the truth would not have been allowed but some cow spin and it gets stickied. Oh well at least everyone sees the mistake.

-The PS2 cash cow is finally dying. That may mean the console could be called off from further sales in the near future, allowing Sony to possibly allow full BC for their PS3 consoles. -The PSP sold less than the PS3? Really? A $400 console actually out-sold a $200 handheld media device? -The PS3 only sold 50K less than the 360. Maybe consumers aren't that interested in the 360 atm? That's ALOT, considering PS3 is double the price of 360 right now. VERY surprising.NYrockinlegend
We americans are stupid what did you expect, rational sales?

Are we implying the mods are all cows?
No. I have no idea about any of the mods any more since they do not post at all. It is not like when CaseyWegner posted in here and we could talk to him. The only action system wars gets with mods is when we get modded. I am just pointing out that the thread is clearly cow spin and the reverse would not have happened. Heck look at the Kojima stickie also. It is just trying to full flame war saying MGS on the 360 when it is nothing but a pic of clouds and even has been proven wrong. A mod was the one who even started the pic.

The point of the Kojima announcement thread is to provide a single thread for the discussion of the topic, rather then have half the front page threads be about it. And the mods say they're unfortunately too busy moderating to post anymore. Can we please make their job easier?

Well the thread could have been about the Kojima announcment and not trying to turn it into a mgs4 on the 360 since there was nothing to lead to that conclusion at that point. This is for the other thread though I was just using it as another example at a silly stickie. As far as me making their job easier. It is not like myself or others are demanding some explanation or something. Just some said it is dumb it was stickied. I think your making it bigger then it is.

I thought you said that this thread only got stickied because of it's cow twist? And the Kojima thread was made because of all the topics saying the announcement would be MGS4 on 360.

Well the thread was made from a PS3 fan and it is a cow twist. I am not saying that is why the mod stickied it since it is not like we see mods in threads to know what bias they have or if they have any.

This was probably the only thread on the subject out, and the mods stickied it rather than making a whole new thread, since this one already has the necessary information.

They should be consistent.
About what, exactly?
About what is a legit thread to post and what isn't.This is clearly a troll thread. And the fact that there wasn't a better thread to sticky is ridiculous. If it was that important, The mod could have made one himself.

While I agree the NDP threads need to be unbias (hence why it was awesome when-cnc- posted them) but the mods shouldn't have to be bothered to make a thread with all the information. That is not there job plain and simple. Heck, is there even a rule that mods cannot be bias?

I really don't care if they make one or not. I remember last month somebody made an inflammatory NPD thread and it was locked in favor for a better more moderately toned one. This is fine. In fact, I wholeheartedly agree that the thread should have been locked. But then I see this thread and I wonder why was this acceptable and the other wasn't?

What I will do is ask the mods if I can post the raw numbers and have them stickied for NDP so this doesn't happen but if you want this question answered, you'll have too actually talk to the mods.

Yes, but they usually request a title change if they sticky something like this.

Mods DO have the power to edit thread titles, ya'know? My thread's title was edited to from MLB 2009 The Show review to MLB Exclusive/Non-Exclusive debate when it was stickied. I'm surprised that the mod who stickied this actually didn't edit the contents of the OP and/or thread title.

I thought so since the title seemed like something I hadn't posted in. But yeah, I'm gonna PM one of the mods and ask if I can just pots raw unopinionated data when NDP comes around and have it stickied. That way, crap like this won't happen.
I fail to see why lemmings here are treating a 3k difference in scale of several hundred k as anything significant. We're talking about a decade old platform going up against something current gen and cheap. Yes, 172K is nearly 175K, in the grand scheme of things. The difference is negligible.
the people who are complaining about the thread title, you are what makes this place so boring. The less mods , well,have to mod the better IMO. This place can get so overly moderated that its hard to be open and funny, or speak your mind.

Yeah it makes it hard for us to truly express ourselves.
LOL! The headline should have said in bright bold, "PS2 outsells PS3 by nearly 50K for the month of April.".
It didn't sell as much as the 360 by the way. Was 3K short.
This could very well be the death bell for the PS3. Also is the Wii breaking all the rules or what? Normally by its 3rd or 4th year a console starts peaking in sales. The Wii has already peaked in just 2 years and it will be down hill from here on out.

The difference is negligible. yeah I agree ..although PS2 sold **almost** as much as 360, but since headlines are supposed to be sensationalist and and the 3K difference is pretty negligible, I see nothing wrong with it.

The difference is negligible.You know what the best part is though. The 360 still outsold the PS2 sure not much but it did. Also the 360 AND the ps2 both outsold the ps3. In fact you could also put it this way the 360 outsold the ps2, and the ps3 and it also even outsold the psp also. So not one of the three Sony systems is able to sell better then the one Microsoft system.

Well if 172 is "nearly" 175, then the thread title should reflect as much. As it stands, the thread title is simply not true.

Nobody in their right minds (except some lemmings apparently) would think that saying "as much" to a 3k difference to be not "true" Seriously people, lighten up a bit, NPD time is suppose to be fun.

It's great to see the PS2 still selling those units after all these years. Surprising results on all consoles. maybe Wii is starting to finish its crazy sales destruction.
[QUOTE="TheOldOlder"]NPD threads are always an anti Ps3 festsurrealnumber5
they are the only threads that are not based on opinions of fanboys and show the true view of the systems for their market performance If all consoles had the same price tag NPD would mean something "if" the Ps3 was still outsold by the competition, right now all I see is the impact of the recession on the gaming market, the cheapest consoles sell better then the expensive ones thats it, the Ps3 is still the better console.
