I'm pretty certain it's just the lack of the sales numbers leaking a day or two early which has everyone crying.  As far as I know, famitsu and enterbrain and something else are public, although its usually a week after the fact.

I think some (most) people didn't really understand what my comment to cvx was even about.  If snickers is outselling mars, and you say snickers is outselling mars...ok, if you want to waste your time reporting that it's your time, not mine.  But If snickers is outselling mars and every time you report that you underlay it with "lollolol Mars sucks, snickerz rulz" then you're just acting like a manbaby and I'm gonna call you out on it after enough time. 

Plus since when did doing someone a "favor" make you immune to being slighted?  If you did someone a favor by driving to the market to pickup some OJ and in the process you ran over a dozen innocent 3 year old babies, no one is going to be saying "well I don't think we should talk bad about this guy, he was doing us a favor by getting the OJ".

It's funny and yet awesomely embarrassing for all involved that people actually care how much a game they have no real vested interest in sells.

Of all the things to care about, nonsense such as game- and console sales or box office figures (for movie nerds) should be at the absolute bottom of the list. Unless, of course, you're getting a check...

I used to be really big into the Media Create and NPD sales thread. Then, one day, I realized that none of matters one single bit. It's stupid to care about numbers and sales so much.

These days, I'll check the monthly NPD thread in passing just to see what's going on and then promptly forget about it until next month or I might check Wikipedia to see how some game I really like sold.

I think that being a Nintendo fan means you naturally gravitate towards sales figures since you don't have much to play.  I used to be a hardcore ninthing and was fairly active in the sales threads.  Then I got a 360. :xbot

Yea when you have a 360 you have so much to play you don't care about sales threads. It's gotta suck to be a Wii or PS3 fan.

There is nothing wrong with detached, dispassionate sales talk. As I always say I follow sales talk the same way I follow sports statistics. It's something to analyze, and come to certain conclusions about and understand the market better.

The problem with GAF is that with everything you have a collection of fanboys who aren't really discussing sales but using sales talk as another outlet of fanboy wars

I only have a passing interest in sales, in that when I see a decent game totally tank I'll acknowledge it on the show and suggest listeners might want to give a shot. Beyond that, I couldn't give a shit about sales or console wars.

Doing a favour doesn't make you immune to being sleighted, but pissing people off has consequences, too.  I can absolutely say to my friend that gives me rides "nice driving, dickbag", but I should not be shocked if he then refuses to give me a ride next time.

And yes, he was making a goofy Duckroll-esque comment, but you're one of Duckroll's flock, I'm sure you could see through it easily enough.  Anyway, cvx seems to be over it, so whatevs.  It's certainly not my battle.  But I do totally understand where cvx was coming from.  The combination of lack of appreciation and ri-fucking-cockulous entitlement complexes can get on a guy's nerves pretty badly to the point where it just takes one straw to break the back.


It was one fucking post.

Some straw Bebpo drew then.

pretty much

I have a fairly vague interest in sales and do need someone to break it down  for me.  I have little context to understand what sales are good in Japan or America.  But I still think looking at sales is interesting if only to be like "*so-and-so* game sold well, so that probably means a sequel, more support for that team, or other publishers will try to copy that success."   Infamous didn't sell great or anything, but it seemed to do good enough that I knew I will probably get a sequel, which makes me happy since it's my second favorite game this year.  Or Borderlands, which I didn't love as much as everyone else, but I thought it was a great first step in combining shooter and loot game successfully; knowing that Gearbox will most likely be allowed to make a sequel or even another studio to follow their lead makes me look forward to those potential games in the future.

I don't understand retail musing or anecdotal sales data.  I mean, the closest thing to that I'd trust is top selling games in Steam.

Of course, one could argue that feeling the need to call someone out for acting like a manbaby makes you an even bigger manbaby. And on we go.

Seriously though, this crap about dudes threatening to leave and stop doing stuff is only obnoxious because of the legion of tards that are practically begging the dudes to keep at it.

The problem with GAF is that with everything you have a collection of fanboys who aren't really discussing sales but using sales talk as another outlet of fanboy wars
 

pretty much

I have a fairly vague interest in sales and do need someone to break it down  for me.  I have little context to understand what sales are good in Japan or America.  But I still think looking at sales is interesting if only to be like "*so-and-so* game sold well, so that probably means a sequel, more support for that team, or other publishers will try to copy that success."   Infamous didn't sell great or anything, but it seemed to do good enough that I knew I will probably get a sequel, which makes me happy since it's my second favorite game this year.  Or Borderlands, which I didn't love as much as everyone else, but I thought it was a great first step in combining shooter and loot game successfully; knowing that Gearbox will most likely be allowed to make a sequel or even another studio to follow their lead makes me look forward to those potential games in the future.

I don't understand retail musing or anecdotal sales data.  I mean, the closest thing to that I'd trust is top selling games in Steam.

i agree with this also.

musings and anecdotal sales are mostly worthless and used to push fanboy agendas.

Yea when you have a 360 you have so much to play you don't care about sales threads. It's gotta suck to be a Wii or PS3 fan.

Plus since when did doing someone a "favor" make you immune to being slighted?  If you did someone a favor by driving to the market to pickup some OJ and in the process you ran over a dozen innocent 3 year old babies, no one is going to be saying "well I don't think we should talk bad about this guy, he was doing us a favor by getting the OJ".

The type of sober argumentation that only years of law school can cultivate.

MSN just deleted all my contacts except one, and it's this stupid meathead douche bag from high school that I haven't spoken to since he drunkenly lectured me about bodybuilding at a party 3 years ago.  :maf

It'll have to be later, because now I'm getting messages from people saying I'm spamming them with messages about cheap iPods. I guess I've got a virus. Time to send in Malwarebytes and MSE. :punch
