Overall, game sales were up 28 percent in February. What's your takeaway? 485,000 DSes and 335,000 Wiis? Nintendo brought the smackdown! Crackdown and four other 360 games in the top 10? Microsoft owns! Whatever. The PS3 is helping cure cancer.

Seeing as most of the games on that list were, as I think, 360, Wii, or DS games, and not a single PS3 game was present, nothing wrong with the pole. If all ten were PS3 games it'd have 360 and Wii insults.

It's a little funny. That's the first time I've seen a poll on the front page though. I never really visit the front page.

Almost as funny as 'Halo 3 Beta with Free Crackdown!'...

Because that was in a poll one week.

You know you take Gamespot a little to seriously when you call a poll disgusting.

I don't see the disgusting part. Sony came in last in hardware and software sales, nothing positive can be said about that.

Sony still had the second most hardware sales out of all 3 though.

So what's disgusting about that? The part where they're making a joke, or the part where the PS3 is the butt of that joke?

The PS2 was I think, third and its a last gen console, that pole looks to be either this gen, or top 2 console sales, SONY did not have the number 2 spot in console sales.

There aren't any PS3 games up their because none of them sold enough, hell, there aren't enough PS3's in homes to sell alot of games.

I don't see what is so disgusting about it. Did you hear about the Folding@Home project coming to the PS3? It kind of makes the "Cure Cancer" statement somewhat valid....

I'm pretty sure that's why they put the Cure Cancer option in there... otherwise they would have just put... "The PS3 is the SUXXORS!!!11!"

That is definitely the reason they put it in there. I am just wondering if the TC hadnt known about it yet and that is why they thought the poll was disgusting. I can't see why else they would call it disgusting had the "Cure Cancer" been something else.
