"XBOX - too big for Japan"

Sales figures from Japan last week:

1. GameBoy Advance - 150,800
2. PlayStation 2 - 38,400
3. GameCube - 37,400
4. XBox - 1,900
5. PS One - 1,800

The japanese like things to be small, like themselves, so I can only assume the XBOX is losing out due to it's immense size. Following on from reports of "poor" christmas sales, it seems that the GC was just leaving it a week later than everyone else.

It is good to see the XBOX outselling the PS1 though.

Thanks to Tiltawhirl for posting this to the Ninties.

WOW

Yes and why would Lexus give both me and my dad tickets to go to the British motor show on press day costing £40 each if I owned a different car. Then again owning a Lexus I would not expect you to appreciate the customer service you get from Lexus, free golfing tournaments, days out, hell they even rang me the day after to ask how I got on at the Motorshow. Of course I said I had a wonderful time, mind you all that salmon, prawns and hob knobing gets to you after a while then again you wouldn't know you are beneath me.

posted earlier today, I think it's catching on...

By the by, why's everyone calling him Cherry?

Is it his real name or something?

I dont know why everyone doesn't just ignore Top Score. This would annoy him immensely.

Yes Cherry, we read it first time.

Silver LexusIS200 Sport, for all you people that don't believe me.
Yes it has got:

Automatic lights
Concealed headlight washers in the bumpers that come up when used at the touch of a button and go back in afterwards.
Electronic wing mirrors that fold in at the touch of a button.
Slip differential
Rear wheel drive
2litre 24V straight six engine
17in alloy wheels
Low profile tyres
remote control boot lock
Built into the dash 6 disc cd changer front loader as well.
8 speaker sound system that sounds a lot better than my mates
crappy BMW 3 series coupe.

I could go on and on, but you would only get more jealous.

(not exact words) "Those Japanese have good taste in games - look at Gamecube and Gameboy Advance sales."

Top Score (again, not exact words):

"Stop being racist against those Japanese! I'm reporting you."


Tiltawhirl (exact words this time):

"Top Score you crack me up mate."

LoL! I couldn't have put it better myself! :-D

I could get those stats on a car as well.

New Honda Accord:
======================
High dynamic stiffness body and low drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0.26

Extensive standard equipment list

Curtain airbags, dual zone climate control offered on all models

2.0 and 2.4 litre DOHC i-VTEC engines EU2005 compliant

Outstanding performance/economy balance

5-speed/6-speed manual and 5-speed automatic transmissions

Enhanced chassis dynamics, 2.4 models with Vehicle Stability Assist


I don't own one, but I can cut and paste...

So you copied that stats from a website, big deal.

And being someone who cannot drive, and does not wish to drive, no, I wouldn't jealous even if you did have one.

Besdies, since when did a Lexus become the best car in the world?
