Jesus- okay, here's the deal on why we don't care about sales.
We KNOW sales are important- Nintendo's falling behind in that area and really needs to get its act together or it's going to face the consequences. But why should we WORRY about sales? We're gamers, not sales analysts. Our job is to play games, not waste attention on who is statistically ahead of who- it's pointless and only trivializes the industry. Be concerned about Nintendo all you want, but losing sleep over it is way too obsessive.
