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.

I just want to know where the hell you guys get the notion that anyone here is losing sleep or obsessing over sales figures. This is a discussion board you know. And we're discussing sales, big deal. That's no less relevant than someone discussing what they want to see in Nintendo's next console or the way their local game shop is set up. Honestly, you guys that come in here bitching are being much more anal than anyone else here. If you don't like these types of posts then don't read them. It's as simple as that.

Greenwood: Obviously you haven't been visiting a lot of Nintendo message boards. I've been going to Nintendo boards regularly for almsot 3 years straight now and I can tell you a lot people get REALLY worried about sales stuff. Yeah, a lot of it is just discussion, but you can't deny there's fan out there worrying their little heads off because GAME B outsold GAME A by X number of units.

mouse_clicker- Yes, I know that. I am, after all, a member of the IGN boards. Have been for 3 years myself. But my point is that you guys are talking to me and the others here as though we're the ones obsessing over sales numbers. There isn't one person here freaking out about numbers yet you guys talk down to us like we are.

Wow. those numbers are so wrong. I can remember numbers from the fall and summer of 2002 saying that the GC had 14 million +, and the xbox had 10 million +. I'm pretty sure 5 million people didn't return their GCs in the past half a year. These nubmers are BS. (they're from sony, too. what do you expect?)

I agree MH, Sony is really unreliable and those numbers seem even more dubious.
