Lamest of the lame.

Be funny if since he does not like Square he told MS " Fine I will make my next 3 JRPGs for the 360 but FF can not come to 360. I want to battle them"Eltroz

Since when have sales determined quality? Or have Nintendo fanboys completely forgotten how desperately they argued that "sales don't matter" for the past two generations? The new battlecry is "graphics don't matter" - but if we combine all the fanboy rhetoric from Nintendo fans over the years, their bottom line is "nothing matters'... as long as it comes from Nintendo, you'll defend it, right?

The Wii is a terrible thing. No, I don't want it to win, I want to believe people are *smarter* than that. If they're not (I know they aren't) well, that's reality. If you derive pleasure from the torturted screams of hardcore gamers, as they watch their hobby handed over to essentially the same group of people who think "Madden" is a great example of what videogames should be, well, have fun with it, I'm glad you're happy.

Me? I'll be retreating to PC gaming until this whole ugly "Wii" business passes. Frankly, the thing that hurts me the most is losing my respect for Nintendo fans. There are still a few Nintendo fans on GS whom I respect and value, but since the Wii has released I've seen too many "HD-haters" come out of the woodwork, who seem more intent on seeing the downfall of everything that used to represent gaming, rather than being excited by the Wii offering something different.

 To tell you the truth, I'm more sheep than I am a lemming, but I have yet to make the "nothing matters" cry. I think Nintendo is a great company that seeked an alternative, as most companies would do, in face of losing their foothold in the console wars. If the Wii wins the console war (which I hope it does), what does that do to the market? The affect of the Wii won't entirely be felt until the next generation, which Nintendo themselves believe is going to be the true "rise of the HD era." I do believe that the next-generation will be run a little differently, but graphics will still remain a big part of the console wars, as well as gameplay. Perhaps an intergration of the two would settle fanboyism.

[QUOTE="Zerostatic0"][QUOTE="pundog"]I know the Pokemon series is popular but Halo 2 made more money in one day than any hollywood blockbuster does in a weekend. Halo 3 has been available for presale since november, the game could break 1-2 million presales.DoctorBunny

Done and done. I will make that bet any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Halo 2 sold 7.89 million copies vs 31.37 million for Pokemon Blue/Red/Green.

Why don't you tell me which is more?

31.37 or 7.89?

so now you're comparing 3 games to 1, wow

So tell me how many did green sell alone and compare it to adding both halo 1 and 2... adding games can make any one look better

By your same logic, we shouldn't include the 20 GB PS3 in the total PS3 sales because it isn't the same PS3 as the 60 GB version. Get over it. Pokemon Red/Blue/Green all count as 1 game in terms of sales because they were released at the same time, they are the same generation and the major differences is not in terms of story, but what Pokemon are available in the game. [sarcasm] Maybe we should start comparing the sales of the core 360 to the Wii, and maybe then we'll figure out that the Wii has sold more than the 360! [/sarcasm].
