Topic: lol japan sales gamecube owns xbox but its not the only 1

[Agent]

I know, I just find it disturbing the this some how makes people feel better for some reason. Maybe becuase up until xbox came out in Japan, gc was doing badly in japan, but having xbox there made them look good, without actually improving.

Ok you took my statement a little wrong.  I didn't really mean the stuff about gaming if you are older but you guys seem pretty insecure about it since you flamed me like hell after I said it.    I was pretty pissed at teh time and I wanted to say STFU about all this crap box, kiddy Cube, whatever stuff.  So I am sorry if you misinterpreted my message. I personally, am a huge Nintendo fanboy looking forward to the WW and the Capcom 5.  LOL that "b]I do not need some self-righteous little kid like yourself telling me what activities I am too old for. I pity you if you truly think that once your 16, 18 or 21 you suddenly "mature" and are supposed to cease all activites deemed to be childish." thingy made me laugh till I almost crapped my pants.

This thread http://www.psxnation.com/Forum/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?s=5045854a2d00d6f301000d25c0781f01;act=ST;f=1;t=1923 proves you wrong.  At the time I wrote this message, 80% of PS2 owners still have their original system.

I wouldn't say it proved him wrong, rather, it shows his numbers were slightly off.  There isn't that much difference between 20% and 25% especially when you account for the margin of error if there were one, and most likely there is.

Whoa slow down there big boy. Don't have a pissy fit and flame me Gannondork, you stupid asshole. Don't be so ignorant...I was trying to be nice with my last post.  *TRIES TO BE ON TOPIC NOW*    Yes, my friend has never had to replcae his Ps2. He dosn't take the best care of it either...     And even though I want the Xbox to fail I don't think it will no matter how much Microsoft loses.  They have way to much money and they can supply as much money for advertisements etc as they want.

Yum?

2003 could yeild either interesting results for nintendo, or possibly could plod along at the same possition happy in the knowledge they are still being very profitable, "the capcom 5" (i hate saying thigs like that for some reason) could sway some xbox/ps2/pc owners to pick up a cube possibly more than any other title in the release schedual (im ignoring zelda for the reason that you either love it or you dont, and would only pull old nintedo fans back rather than convert new ones (strictly my opinion))

nintendo will allways beat an american company in its homeland, just the way of the world

/me wanders off topic for a moment

hush wee onion best advise i can give you is 1# older gamers own (/me recalls a recent topic where i discovered the majority of this forum's users are 20-30) 2# dont retaliate, just leads to ghey l4m3 flame warefare, which ive not seen on this forum, and damn glad about it too

Damn it Marcus, I was about to post that and you beat me to it LOL Anyway when you consider the number of PS2s Sony has sold. 20% is a lot of systems. They've sold like 15 million PS2s in the US that would mean that only 12 million were still working.....
