From the latest issue, just glancing at a couple pages. Might be of some interest to Sales-Age.

They also talk about games like MGS4, but provide no numbers.

serious.  get that sales-age shit outta here

[Mr. Gundam]

GO AWAY.

[Phoenix Dark]

What is this shit?

 

[Mr. Gundam]

If you want to talk about sales, GTFO.

[demi]

+1 Leper, we only have one sales thread, and that's NPD

[Phoenix Dark]

If they cared about sales numbers they wouldn't be releasing their games on the wii 

[Fragamemnon]

What an abomination of a thread.

[Himu]

FUCK. GET THIS OFF OF EB

[Ichirou]

Nobody gives a FUCK about sales on this forum.  GTFO with that shit, Ruzbeh.  Jesus.  Somebody should make it so that Ruzbeh can't post on the gaming side.

[Ichirou]

Somebody should make it so that Ruzbeh can't post on the gaming side.

Whoa, what the hell dude? You want me banned over this shit?

Kiss my fucking dick, asshole. This is what I get for being nice to you, huh?

Kiss my goddamn dick, taco.

You've never been nice to me, dumbass.  And I'm just asking you to be banned from the gaming side, I wouldn't mind (too much) if you could still post in Real Talk.

[Ichirou]

Ruzbeh, I have just realized you are very, very stupid. Wow.  That explains everything.

You're like 15, right?  That's the only way I can excuse the sheer stupidity of that last post.

[Ichirou]

OMG, I'm going to lose out on all the scintillating conversation I would have had with Ruzbeh! The insights into his love for Nintendo, the success of the Wii, and the effects of living with autism! THE TRAGEDY!!!
