So remember how in your last 'I'm always right' rant you informed us FF:CC had bombed, and then I pointed it out it had only been on sale one day?

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

And this dignified silence works too.

Wrong on the units...

Like you you mean ?

You do that yourself quite well.

Gentlemen, let's turn to Games TM, page 39. Oh, actually I'm going to admit to being wrong about sales figures, seems the Gamecube is doing even worse than I though in the land of the rising sun. Jesus, 1500 a week !!! compaerd to Sony averaging 46000 !! That's like pathetic.

Anyway, week ending June 21st saw a slaes leap to 20900 with the release of the GBA Player bundle, however within one week that had fallen to 12662, and has fallen right up to the release of Chronicles, so expect to see the same happen again, Sony enjoyed LONG TERM sales increases from Final Fantasty, nintendo won't.

Face it, Nintendo are doomed I tell ya, tis the end.

Games TM says 1500 a week, making you full of the shiznit also. I turst Games TM more than you, strangely.

So now you change your argument?

Admit you were wrong, then walk away from the forum and never darken our door step again. Go on, it's for your own good.

Really, that's nice for you. See that door over there? use it.

so you are getting all of your info from a magazine?

is that including the FF details, cos i doubt they'd be very accurate

Well it's odd that Reuters, the Jap charts and the rest of the internet says it's around 8,000.


I also find it rather sad you appear to enjoy seeing a company failing.

It's time to go watch Mr Frost on ITV, but I'll look in in the morning and reply to your angry rantings Whitestripes, but to answer one question so as to aid your own search for an answer, I do not hate Nintendo, I hate fanboys and apologists for them. They have made the most almighty screw up of the GC despite doing likewise with the SNES and N64. I don't much care it beats the Xbox in one territory, because here Xbox sells more and has the games I want, and more importantly has them in a timely fashion. I decided that I could not afford 3 systems, hence the GC went because it doesn't have the games. I don't care about Iwata whining about fees for online play, 500 000 Live subscribers kinda kills that theory, and it's fun. It could be fun with the Gamecube, except Nintendo won't get behind it as they should. Nintendo does not understandard the western markey anymore, and it's let Sony steal it's own market effortlessly.

Xbox sold 75 units week ending 21 June, says gamesTM

There endeth my knowledge of Japanese sales. Bicker away, I'm off for Skies & Rez!

Why the hell do ALL arguements bring up the topic of sales figures.

Sales figures mean nothing - Insert that comment into your head. Who cares if your console did crap/good? You've got yer console now stop argueing about whats 'best'

Jeez
