Yes its true ! The UK sales of Gamecube have reached an all time low this week ! PS2 has sold 5467 units this week. X-Box has registered in at 4999 while the Nintendo console has only registered 2 consoles sold ! Quite pathetic I'm sure you'll agree.

Even the Megadrive has outsold the Gamecube this week thanks to 4 car boot sales accross the country. The NES has even shown a surprise rivalry with Cube, registering in at 2 sales.

This news is from a reliable source, coming from WeHateNintyScum.com.

How low will the Gamecube go from here ? The coming week will tell...

You were quick to mention the first reply, but what about the 2 after that ? Or are they just stupid and don't count ?
As for Goatboy, you'll find he gets more respect around here than a large amount of others such as yourself mate. I called certain people kids because their replies were not exactly the kind you'd expect from an older age group - the post changing things around to make it a savatt1668 hate mail stands out in my mind.

I don't care if certain people (as silent85 noticed - at least mostly Ninties) don't find my post funny. And before you even try coming back with it I'm not saying anyone who didn't find it funny is a kid. The ones I did call kids are the ones literally spitting out their dummies and screaming.

Anyway, yeah you go have fun in prime cause thats where the serious topics are. You'll be lucky to find many in FOG chat. Which was kind of the whole point of FOG being split into 2 forums.

So he's a Townie gamer which is basically the same as a Sonyphile...

I wouldn't care if you said the PS2 sold two copies last week or X-box or GBA or megadrive, or NES it isn't funny in the slightest as the first reply read... sorry i forgot to laugh... don't waste my time if you going to post something funny slanting Nintendo then fair enough do ti just don;t turn into Goatboy and go around calling people such as myselfs children... how is Gamecube sold 2 copies last week not even beating the Megadrive in the faintest bit funny? Now excuse me if i go over to prime where i can read some serious posts.

So lets see, if a company YOU don't like gets stick, its really funny. If its the company you like, then its nothing but stupid unfunny crap. Sorry if I wasted your time - didn't realise you are so important mate.

Sonyphile ? I don't have a PS2 anymore. I don't care about Ninties responses, I didn't do the topic cause I hate Nintendo or anything, I chose Nintendo cause its the console that isn't out yet.
That was the whole point of the joke - The GC registered low sales for the week cause its not out yet.

As for the virgins comment, your telling me that people screaming in rage cause someone has ribbed their favourite games console isn't sad ?

If someone blindly says that a console is crap and means it seriously without anything to back it up, then yeah, people will have a go at them for being so clueless. But please don't tell me you thought this was a serious comment from me saying that the GC is a load of crap.

Like you said - I'd expect more from a regular.

Because I wanted to. Do we need 400 posts called "X-Box Sucks !" ? Do we need to hear about what other people on this forum had for lunch ? Of course not, but people post this kind of stuff, so since when were the rules made different for some than others ?

Anyway, have fun posting serious and mind pondering posts mate. Not something that I can see catching on in this particular area though. ;-)

JOKES ARE FUNNY! This wasn't funny which is my entire point, i can take jokes a plenty but this was pure juvenile Sonyphile crap that wasted my time! It was to provoke a response so Nintendo fans can have a go at him and he can call us all virgins that take gaming too seriously...

The fact is i expect better of a regular.
