Well you were right, only I think you'll find it's a very different type of bomb...

No I didn't, I said you looked stupid, you agreed with Whitestripes despite not knowing what he was on about, you relied solely on him for information. So, like Whitestripes, you misread.
And you should stop calling me a fanboy, after all, I've only exposed your lies and phony statistics, once again made up to make the GC look bad.

Again, you're missing the point. That's about normal for the GC in Japan, all those figures are ! Final Fantasy is traditionally a game which shifts EXTRA units, as in thousands of them. WE haven't seen that, and that was my original point which Whitestripes has not read properly.

well, i'd say that saying i look stupid is indeed calling me stupid(so stop trying to improve your already failing argument by comparing me and whitestripes)
you agreed with Whitestripes despite not knowing what he was on about, you relied solely on him for information.
(yes i know, its more fun that way dont u think?)
So, like Whitestripes, you misread.
well, no i didn't

Errrrrrrr WRONG
Cube sales actually doubled, let's not make things up as we go along now Mr Dandy.
Normal sales figures for in Japan is around 8,000 a week for GC, with the Xbox around 400.

Yeah, because not a single thing you said was actually true, like Iwata san, you join the growing ranks of Nintendo Information Ministers.
"No, we are seeing massive jump in sales of Gamecube unit thanks to Final Fantasy"
"But the sales show little difference from the normal sales?"
"No, massive jump, we shall crush them all, Mario will kick their Playstation ass and the yankee devil will die at the gates of Nintendo HQ"
- You said FF:CC had sold badly AND hadn't helped sell more GCs.
- FF:CC has sold very, very well and GC sales have doubled.
- I point out your made up facts.
- You try and make me look stupid for it.
You could just say 'I was wrong' and hear no more about it.
If you're gonna make wide accusations like this, you need to do a bit of research to make sure you have the facts to back them up. If you check Gamecube weekly hardware sales in Japan every week, before FF:CC went on sale you will find that they were ranging about 8000-12,000 a week.
Anyone enough of this bickering, I'm off to shoot lepers on Xbox Live.
