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

I know there has always been fanboyism.
But since when have we all been insulting to each other?

Could be worse. I could be a thief.

I reckon its mystique tom-foolering around with a new account.

That's not a dissapointment.
The aim was to either stop you gibbering made up facts and figures and being a general Nintendo nay sayer, or to make you bug*er off and do it somewhere else.
And no, that newbie isn't me, although what he/she said was true. You were wrong, proven wrong, and now you're running away. Good job!

PS2 - 46,900
GameCube - 20,900
Xbox - 75
75? Bwahahahaha.
Blatent fanboyism shown in this post exceeds belief.

That's false interpretation. Blatently.
GamesTM actually said that on 14th June, GameCube could only shift around 1,500 units a week in Japan. Why d'you think this was mentioned? Because it's very unusual. Very. Tilt commented that the average was 8,000 - 12,000 and this comment was correct.
Remember when 'Cube sales shot up to 150,000 one week thanks to Zelda? We're hardly going to say that's a regular thing, are we? And it's the same at the other end of the spectrum.
