if the August NPDs show Wii once again selling more than twice as much as PS3. I believe the NPDs come out this afternoon.
how many ppl bought wiis while waiting for price of ps3 to drop? That's atleast what Michael Patcher said that many gamers who are going to buy ps3s were sitting on the fence and bought the wii as a secondary system. I personally know this is true for many of my friends, and in fact my bro bought a wii only to waste time before buying a ps3. Stop hiding behind sales sheep and realize that you guys have slim pickings and are the victims of Nintendo selling out to casuals.jyoung312
:lol: Patcher :lol:
The guy who thought the PS3 would beat the 360 in July NPD, I loved that month :lol:
uh.....in sales it is.....too early to tell...especially when the wii isn't even in first right now. :?

they will always have something to say thats negative about the wii and you should just get used to that heck sometime they even have something bad to say about the ds so there ya goSerraph105
I can basically tell how System Wars will bethis gen. Whenever MS buys an exclusive or some exlusive content the lemmings will get pompous, the cows will always be hyping some ground breaking game, and the sheep will be trumpetting the sales advantage. If you think the wii's improving library will help it inSystemWarsyou would be mistaken. The wii will always be slammed for having inferior hardware, and you will never win that battle
even if you get severe ownage against some with the gameplay over graphics argument, the next day there will be someone else saying the same stuff

Yet there is no way to indicate it.Are we automatically going to assume that every Business man plays solitare in his office because he's bored?

When will it be considered NOT early? After holiday season? After 2008?
How about the end of this generation? Its to early to be declaring winners now.

I've always though thats pretty dumb myself because theres no frakin' way to know how many people bought a pc for gaming, but theres a sticky that says so and we all go by casey's rules here :P
Been holding a grudge eh? No, unless the Wii has achieved the same level of success as the PS2 both saleswise and games-wise, I don't think you have the bragging rights to say it has won. Especially not so early in the console cycle. Ludicrous.
PS. It doesn't have to sell 120 million consoles. I don't think it will anyway. Just over 50 million would drive home the point.

No one in the game industry considers the PC in the same league as consoles. It's just a dumb rule you've made up.

I don't think he was referring to system sales. I thought he was comparing console sales. But I could be wrong.

Not even then. This thing just got started, and you guys want to act as if it is over already.The Wii sales will slow down, it's only a matter of time.
But first they will rise, SMG and SSBB are going to be HUGE!

I don't think he made it up. I think the Admins did. I think he is just enforcing it religiously.

I guess we should include the Ipod in system sales too, since you can play Brick and Solitaire on it.

Ok so if were including PC in sales then where do we start counting? and what do we start counting?
You obviously cant count every single PC sold.
I bought the Sims 2 for my laptop, am I considered a PC gamer?

-Sir-Poof-
this is why sales doesn't work as the determining factor.

Half of the people I know that have a medium to high-end pc, which includes a medium to high-end video card that could be used for playing don't play games on their computer and have bought these machines because fooled by promise of raw processing power which they will still only use to type with word or do basic math in excel. There is no way to count how many gaming pcs are actually used for gaming. Your argument, especially within this topic, is ludicrous.
EDIT:
Also, the same thing goes for half of the people I don't know. I've worked in a PC store and I actually sold high-end computers to business men who will only use them for office applications, internet and maybe solitaire. And porn. All business men love porn.
