Sales matter. Games matter too. The higher the sales for a platform, the more dev support the console gets etc etc...
I see far more cows saying the Wii isn't comparable to thePS3 and that the PS3 released a year later and is outselling the 360 worldwide and so its really in first place! But that they don't care about NPD sales.
Well everyone spins the sales argument. Wii owners say we win because we got the most sales, and cows and lems say thats the only thing your winning in. Lems say were in 2nd place and cows just say it was year headstart and price. Cows say you got no exclusives to lems hahaha!!!!
we all know the wii is winning in sales to the point that it's not worth debating, there's no battle there therfore it is uninteresting, the ps3 vs 360 however appears to be a battle to the death, basically, as the first place is already decided, everyone is more interested in second place.this is system WARS and we come here to do battle!Decide whether sales matter or not.I am tired of them making sales important when comparing the 360 to PS3 .But saying sales are not important when talking about the Wii.,

The OP is trying to say that 360 boast about sales but then once someone mentions Wii sales they quickly scatter. But its not only that, i dont come onto these forums often but the forums i go onto on "other websites" threads with monthly sales figures. Generally speaking PS3 owners dont care for sales but once the PS3 overtakes the 360 in sales 360 owners also say that figures dont matter.Sales matter. Games matter too. The higher the sales for a platform, the more dev support the console gets etc etc...

I think console fans on all sides care about sales not just M$ fans. Most of the time here in SW, the Wii gets ignored and some ps3/360 fans just fight over second place. I dont know if PS3 fans are "boasting" about PS3 beating the Wii in Japan, but they have noticed and commented on the matter in the NPD thread which indicates that the numbers are just as important to them as well.[QUOTE="InfinityMugen"]

How do you know what lemming will say if this or that happens in the future. If you are looking for an example of hipocrisy here it goes:
Cows dont care about sales on the other hand they love the fact that PS3 is outselling the Wii in Japan
Cows love graphics but when talking about multiplats the diferences dont matter

True. Every side care about sales.Of couse. Sales mean more games and dev support
Well, I can say that when I'm playing my 360, I'm not sitting there thinking "boy, the fact that around 29 million other people also have a 360 really improves the gaming experience for me". But it's nice to know that it's selling well because it means that developers will be more willing to release their games on the system.

I woould suggest that bodily harm over console sales is a very silly idea though!Shouldn't we also be asking this of Cows, who keep proclaiming how PS3 WILL triumph in the console wars and that 360 is "destined" to fail?
I didn't think cows nor lems cared about sales anymore. *coughWIIcough*musicalmac*sigh* the Wii doesn't count Mac because its going for an entirely different market than the PS3/360 - the "whole lotta more people" market :D
*sigh* the Wii doesn't count Mac because its going for an entirely different market than the PS3/360 - the "whole lotta more people" market :Dblue_hazy_basic:lol: Yeah, you've got me there. Why Sony and MS didn't go for that market still baffles me :P

Wow , a topic from a Cow attacking lemmings because they ignore the Wii .
How ironic :lol:

i cant speak for everyone, but i can say i dont ignore the wii. i just dont talk about it because its a bad console and i dont care about it. its not a matter of ignoring, its a matter of it being of such low quality that its generally just not worth discussing in any context short of sales--and to any rational person, there is no arguement there, it is the undisputed king of the hill. so really, other than the occasional mediocre game that comes out for it, there is nothing worth talking about related to the wii, ever.

Why Sony and MS didn't go for that market still baffles me :P Who says they aren't? They just do it in an arse-backwards and slack-arsed manner. Games like Viva Pinata are apparently intended to appeal to this market while actually being very complex and ultimately not accessible at all to a casual audience despite its cuddly appearance... Even games like LBP will leave gamers that aren't "in the know" to some degree fumbling with amateur content that they aren't always getting what they want from (and I know I'll get argument on this, but I've watched my semi-casual nephews trying to pick out PC mods from sites that have ranking systems on them - they end up getting all sorts of stuff that is either good but not their type of thing, or bad mods they picked for bad reasons). They're trying - just not making it their first priority, and doing a meh job at it. They Wii is doing the reverse :p

Of course sales matter. Not console sales, games sales. Because games are what make the money for the console manufacturer, not the console itself.Decide whether sales matter or not.I am tired of them making sales important when comparing the 360 to PS3 .But saying sales are not important when talking about the Wii.,

They matter to a point, and they don't matter to a point. Either stance is defensible. SpruceCabooseIt depends on the subject at hand, no?
Why only 360 owners?Floppy_Jimyes where are the cows in this equation? or even to a lesser extent the sheep?
I've always said that sales don't matter, they still do not. But don't act like lemmings are the only faction that do this, cows did it when they had a pretty medicore library but was outselling the 360.
Oh and don't get me started on sheep.

he's delta3074 and that..was a minute
Yeah, I mean, look at all that amazing shovelware/mini-game/casual support the Wii is getting! It sucks for us 360/PS3 owners that we only get the blockbuster third-party games while you guys get all the cool kiddy stuff. :(Sales matter. Games matter too. The higher the sales for a platform, the more dev support the console gets etc etc...
