Through my Roku box, I often watch Inside Gaming Daily, on the Machinima channel. It's pretty informative and thankfully not laced in Dorito's and Mountain Dew (if you catch my drift). Anyway, last week they announced that the PS3 had passed the Xbox in global shipped (as we so famously trolled eachother about), but then, as the clip goes on, host Adam Kovic shotgun blasts fanboys to the face with a rather simplified and logical prioritization of what really matters in the business of video games... my question to you, System Wars... Have we been doing it wrong?

The clip in question... It's short and right to the point, so watch it before you troll :P

Wrong

They mean something and are pretty important. BUT to me, it really doesnt matter much and it really shouldnt be used as a tool for owange/claiming the game is better cuz it sold so many.

Of course they are a barometer of market saturation, but do we place way too much emphasis on them?

Pretty good watch. And they're right. Doesn't really mater how much you sell console wise if you don't have the games sales to back it up.

Bad sales means less support which means less games which means death.

It's a pretty good show actually... 3 minutes of all your gaming news every day. I dig it... no fluff and right to the point. I just think it's interesting how we fight over something that the console makers themselves probably don't hold as high as we do.

The Wii has tremendous sales and yet it lacks a lot of support. Didn't you watch the video?

No, I didn't mean you, I wouldn't say being reasonable & using fact + logic = damage controlling lol (I assumed you meant the recently issue and how cows went batsh!t crazy over some speculation). Regardless, there're damage control & hypocrisy from all factions (mainly cows & lems) throughout the whole generation, not just recently when it comes to sales & claiming ownage over things like that. Just my observation anyway.

They do mean a lot for the console companies but for me personally, I couldn't care less how much they sell unless that means worse support and shorter life span...

oh I agree with that whole heartedly.... personally, and as stated in a post above, I think that console sales mean something, but like many aspects of the business side of gaming, don't mean as much as they used to... (you can toss exclusives in that list as well if you want). It was interesting to hear someone verbalize it I guess. As for system wars mentality, well... we sure know how to argue for some of the most childish of reasons, so I don't expect that we'll ever stop arguing about how many consoles someone sells. damage control and hypocrisy be damned!!! :P

One compnay made a crap ton of money, one company did not. Plus 120 million ps2, vs 70 million ps3. Who won the gen besides Nitendo, Micrsoft. Sales means nothing when you almost bankrupt your company, and fall way short of your previous gen numbers. Plus the ps3 failed in the NA market, which is the most importent market to do well in

Ofc they don't matter, cows have been telling lems that all gen long, however, because lems choose to ignore cows and claim ownage, now they have to deal with the consequences.

Using logic here or anywhere else on teh internets s futile! Do agree though. This generation was unusual because so many Wii's shipped without any real pull through of games and many bought PS3's because it was the most economical Blu-ray player at the time and rrod...did I leave anything out? Ha!

Eddie-Vedder
so what youre saying is the cows in no way brought that on themselves last gen when they were acting like arrogant self entitled pricks about sales? you're suggesting that MS bro gamers, who scream on xbl and have nothing to play but shooter also started the fight about console sales? do I have all your assumptions correct?

They put it back together?! Will it ever work again? I mean, that was straight up split into two pieces, wasn't it? I'm assuming the finger half came in to the hospital carried in a box?

Yeah, it was put back in 1 piece, it'd take him a few weeks to be able to move & sense again.

It's pretty bad. Definitely a "what has been seen cannot be unseen" kind of thing. I certainly do not envy rjdofu, who was apparently there, in person, to take the picture.

Wow. Medical science FTW. I didn't realize recovery was possible from something like that. Do they do something surgically to reattach the tendons, or do they slowly regrow/heal themselves?

They put it back together?! Will it ever work again? I mean, that was straight up split into two pieces, wasn't it? I'm assuming the finger half came in to the hospital carried in a box?

I decided to play a game where you guys discuss it and I imagine how bad those pics look and never click the link... it... sounds.... so...... effin..... gross.

It's pretty bad. Definitely a "what has been seen cannot be unseen" kind of thing. I certainly do not envy rjdofu, who was apparently there, in person, to take the picture.

And was there to repair the sh!t as well (in a sense, I fixed some of the tendons & ligaments).

Yeah, it was put back in 1 piece, it'd take him a few weeks to be able to move & sense again.

Wow. Medical science FTW. I didn't realize recovery was possible from something like that. Do they do something surgically to reattach the tendons, or do they slowly regrow/heal themselves?

It's very possible actually, as long as the separated parts are protected & preserved appropriately (to avoid contamination & necrosis). Bbout the tendons, they really depend on how severe the case is. In this case the tendons are completely ruptured, so we have to sew them back together, and they will heal themselves after that.

This is very interesting, I never thought an amputation injury as bad as the first pic is treatable so well...

But what are the chances of the guy restoring full move and sense control of his hand?
