You know, that isn't even funny anymore.  I really tried to laugh, but all I could do was sigh.  We've been doing the same thing for over a year now and it has just gotten old.

Now that's more like it.  I laughed there.  Keep it up.  Keep it fresh.

[BlackNMild2k1]

This weeks list is updated, with highlights.

Wii breaks the 2 million mark in Japan, confirming the 6.5+million WW.

[Ceric]

BnM, may I suggest highlighting third parties and bolding Nintendo?  I'm finding I'm really drown to the highlighting and I know you want to show that third parties do sale.

I could do that, as the highlights really do stand out. I wish I could do different colors instead, but I'm not sure if its possible.

[Ceric]

Yeah, Different colors be nice.
*shrug*
Ya work with the technology ya got.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I'll use underline instead of highlight, that should work out alot better.  

[NeoThunder]

I wonder if Sony discontinuing the 20 gig PS3 model has anything to do with the Wii kicking it's ass

[BlackNMild2k1]

I think it has more to do that the PS3 isn't really selling well anywhere, and when it does sell, its the 60GB model that sells first. It also doesn't hurt that the 60GB model provides a 'larger profit margin'(read: smaller loss margin) than the 20GB.

[nitsu niflheim]

The problem with the 2 models of the PS3 is that if you buy the 20gb version you can't upgrade to get all the things you didn't get that the 60gb version has (wi-fi and the card reader stuff) where as the two models of the XBox 360 the system itself was the same, just that the core version didn't come with a HDD or wireless controllers, but you could buy both those things and turn your XBox 360 from a Core to a Premium.  

Sony took so much time to make fun of Microsoft for releasing two version then turn around and release two versions of the PS3 and make it impossible to upgrade the cheaper one.

People bought the 60gb version over the 20gb version because of this, I'm sure.

[Ceric]

Actually I've done it both ways and I like the highlighting better.  I'll show you in a moment expect a PM from me.

[SixthAngel]

At least when you get the low end ps3 you aren't required to buy extra memory cards that basically make the prices the same.  If you don't have wireless internet I think the 500 model is a good choice.  Honestly I think that once the price gets this high the the buyers don't really care about saving that extra 100 dollars because they are already spending so much already.  I imagine the 500 model does make them lose significantly more money as well.

First off I'm not trying to outstage BnM.  I appreciate what he does so much that I am trying to simplify his life.  The above is generated from a program that I've been working on all day by accident.  I started just doing little things to test some stuff out for a bigger program I'm doing for work.  Next thing I knew it was the end of the work day and I had something that took the raw Media Create numbered list and generated this.  Its alpha because there is no redundancy, exception handling, etc.  I was just wondering what you guys think.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Wow, that looks nice, even with links and everything. thats impressive.... I guess I'm no longer needed here

*wanders off into sunset, and doesn't look back*


j/k, I like that setup, explain how it works and I'll definately use it.

[cubist]

Curious to see if Home will generate any momentum.

[Kairon]

Shouldn't we wait until Home comes out this FALL before seeing if it has any impact?

Has anyone seen the "unofficial" NPD numbers for last month? Rumor has it Wii sold 400,000, Xbox 360. PS2, and DS sold 250,000, PSP sold 210,000, and PS3 sold a measly 165,000, tied with GBA (Nintendo, please KILL this beast!). Wii outsells PS3 2.4:1.

[Kairon]

Those numbers, Brandogg, are Michael Pachter's estimates, if I recall correctly. I don't think any of the systems will actually reach those predictions.

Why does Nintendo need to kill the GBA? It's not like they need to gain ground over the PSP... If a certain subsection of consumers don't want a DS yet (because it's more expensive) what's the harm in selling them a GBA? Some people don't need the latest and greatest.

[BranDonk Kong]

Ah, guess I misread the quote. I thought only the actual sales in $ were an estimate based on actual NPD numbers.

[Ceric]

You know the parsing thing I'm working on.  I'm giving it some cool features but they don't fully work because of the Japanese nature of the games.  Then I got to thinking with the NPD numbers all of that sort of thing would be eliminated by virtue of the American numbers.  I can't seem to find a list in there regular format so I can parse it and add the links.  Also I wish those numbers came out weekly.

Would it be possible to get rid of the highlighting feature? I'm afraid it's really straining on the eyes when trying to look at the titles inbetween them.
