Topic: Sales as good as Nintendo says?! Don't think so

[kalipsoGamer]

So yea every one knows the cube dominates 03 with the only system to increase in sales from 02 (well those that weren't baried with Hadam Husein, and if his name is spelt wroung I don't really give a crap) Well not that I like to bash the cube (cause I love the little the thing) but it seems this is over exagerated a bit. PS2 is still out selling it even though the PS2 is diving down a bit. And the year that they say there up from was a really bad year for there system. I can tell there trying to generate as much hype as possible and sell more cubes (and by all means if you don't have one buy one and if you do buy another for lan parties there only $100 bucks). I'm just trying to point out that Nintendo is exagerating on how well sales are. I will admit there relativly high compared to there old sales marks, and the game boy advance is freaking amazing, but the cube is still being out sold a crap load by the PS2. And thats saing something for a system that is 80 bucks more, is another year old, has a rather bad library of games (in my opinion FFX and X2 are the only real good games), and had already sold 5 times more systems world wide then the cube. I just hope these "higher" (not necessarily high sales marks) sales don't go to Nintendos head. They still need to be extremly agressive in geating buyers and a more substantial base they have been losing sence the end of the super nintendo days. Of course they are domanating the moble gaming area. Well the competaters are the N-Gage , and cell phones.... so in other words nothin to speak of. Hmmm the PSP looks tight and the price tag makes me think of how tight me wallet is. In the last issue of gamepro it was said that sony plans to charge upwards of 400 on the little device. 4 GBASP's VS 1 PSP (remember sony isn't known for deveolping durable gaming systems let alone portibale systems). Lets see play agains't all your friends in FFCC along with giving them amazaing gifts or being the talk of the town. Or getting one PSP plaing it by your self because well no one else has the money. Maybe there will be a way to play agains't those on the N-gage, even though you might still have trouble by then (there might be a small chance you can find a person or two but don't play agains't them to long there phones might blow up) Bomb-gages for sale only 300 bucks!!!  You can go to gamefaqs and read up about them being hacked and blowing up.  Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for agreing and arguing what I have said

They never said they were outselling PS2 , and they are stating the facts , the facts are not exaggerated.

Really there was no need for this topic.

[kalipsoGamer]

They said similar things that would make the un a wear person think they were out selling the ps2 and xbox (eg: Dominated sales in december) .  BTW- this is a disicusion room and this is what I wanted to discuss argue about this all you want but please don't tell me I shouldn't have created this room, I didn't make you post in here.  I know nintendo wouldn't be trying to get at this at every single angle if they didn't want to realease good sounding sales marks just to make word of mouth that there system is selling well and make others purchase it.

Who cares N isn't outselling the PS2? They needed to defeat Microsoft and stop the talks of Nintendo going down (Microsoft will fall first, anyway).

What company doesn't try to make their company look good? Im sure if it was Microsoft who was second, you wouldn't hear the end of it, hell they even issued an entire press release just because more Xbox's were sold than GCN's in a measly two week period.

Sales are as good as Nintendo says. The end.

the point is Gcn is number 2...Ms called Ninty kiddy so Ninty kicked Ms in the balls. Sony is like oh shit! Ninty just kicked Ms in the balls.

We have two articles on this in Talkback.   There's no reason to start this rant (with minimal thought or punctuation).  Everyone that's ever read a press release knows that Nintendo left out certain facts, but that doesn't make the statements they made any less true.
