Let me remind you of your original STATEMENT Quote:
You also said. Quote:
NOT ONCE did I dispute the fact that the xbox numbers may be inaccurate. ALMOST EVERYONE who mentioned the nintendo numbers said that "Nintendo had sold 9.5 through march" some people even said something to the effect of "You mean to tell me they haven't sold any cubes in the last three months" These people (including yourself as is evident in the post of yours that I originally quoted) were ignorant to the fact that the numbers posted were from March. Just because YOU DIDN'T READ THE POST WELL ENOUGH doesn't give you the right to change your point. In your original post you never acknowledged the fact that those numbers were from March. Quote:
You think I'm ignorant, fine you wouldn't be the first person on the internet to think that, you can try and be condescending, try and put me down. It doesn't bother me, I don't feel the need to go to any extremes to prove my intelligence to you or to anyone else on this board. The people on this board that know me don't need any further proof of my intelligence. You, on the other hand, ran headfirst into your post without reading the other posts. That is something which is markedly, and undeniably ignorant, and you, in your attempt to embarrass me, just proved your ignorance to the whole board. Remember, you responded to me, which tells me I got my point across just fine. Thanks for playing! EDIT: SPELLING, so the ****ing vultures don't have any easy meat to go after. |

The only thing I would give Nintendo and MS the benifit of the doubt it is consoles shipped, but sales...hell no. Hell, I think Ps2's numbers may even be exagerated... I think all the numbers EGM posted are right, give or take 3 million sales. Just like I think MS and Nintendo's numbers may be in the leauge, give or take 3 million. As far as I know they might as well be tied for 2nd place with no chance in hell of achieving first place. |

See that now? Good. Quote:
"Or are you just afraid to admit that the cube is in 3rd?" Why would I "admit" anything that isn't true right now? Quote:
First of all, I knew of this issue before the thread was created, since I do have the actual EGM with the "error" in question (recall Sonic Heroes on the cover, and other post-E3 garbage)- therefore I knew WHEN and WHAT month these numbers are from. And I'll ask this question AGAIN, since you can't grasp it: How in the HELL is Nintendo or Microsoft not LYING if Nintendo claimed number #2 at 10-11 million 3 weeks ago, but MS surpassed this 3 MONTHS ago? Nintendo claiming #2 at E3 with 10-11 million compared to Xbox's 13 million +... That add up to you? Hell no; and this is my point. Either way, this "tidbit" in EGM is VERY contradictary to either Nintendo or MS's previous (and current) claims, and also has no substance (since no resource available, at least to me, lists 13 million in March).

"Plus, Nintendo announced that it sold 9.5 million (when they reported the console was just 500k shy of their goal), way back in March." Clearly pointing at the error in the 'zine (it lists 9.4 million instead, followed by 20 GBA linkup titles). You are forgiven. Quote:

In other words, I'm not like you and your "dumbass" and "can't read" remarks...and I'm condescending? Practice what you preach, sc. Quote:

A. Actually being in the same room as me to see that I actually DID read the entire thread before posting B. Seeing me do a quick reply or quote without thinking But since you declared that as FACT, with no shred of proof, that means what exactly? Quote:
Quote:
Or are you saying that somehow, magically even, MS sold 13 million in March, subtracted 5 million, and reissued a statement saying they are looking forward to their 9-10 millionth unit three months later? Or even better, Nintendo with 10-11 right now, is claiming #2 globally though MS must have 14-15 million now since they sold 13 three months ago. Do you agree here that Nintendo isn't lying then, if they claim #2 with 10-11 million right NOW, if Xbox did 2 million better three months ago? Quote:

IT DOESN'T SAY A GOD DAMN THING ABOUT NINTENDO LYING Quote:
This says that nintendo sold 9.4 units through march. You want to dispute the 100,000 units fine. I don't care you win that one. You are saying that EGM is calling Nintendo cooperate a bunch of liars, which it does not do. It says that there are roughly 9 and one half million gamecubes sold worldwide through the end of march. Quote:
EGM is giving you the numbers from march. The xbox numbers may be wrong. The nintendo numbers are correct, give or take 100,000. There's also this wonderful nugget. Quote:
You didn't read it. |

Nintendo specifically stated "they are clearly number 2" globally at E3, only having sold 10-11 million. How is this so, if EGM claims they haven't passed MS's 13 million from 3 months ago? Or, to make it clearer to you: Is 9.5 or 9.4 MORE than 13? If not, then EGM's article directly contradicts Nintendo's words at E3. MS also did NOT deny "Nintendo being clearly number 2" globally at E3. Did you not see or hear about ANY of the keynotes other than Sony's? Quote:
NINTENDO THEMSELVES (at their keynote) specifically said they had 10-11 million in MAY- NOT EGM. At the same time, they are claiming this to put them in a CLEAR #2 position globally. This also directly contradicts what EGM is saying (that Nintendo would have to surpass at least Xbox's 13 from March to be #2 globally). Understand? Damn, Bond understood this off the rip; why can't you? Quote:
I am NOT thinking MS went from 8.3 in March to 13 in May, I'm thinking MS went from 13 in March to 8.3 in May, which is impossible if you look at what EGM's trying to say (13 in March) to what other sites say (8 in March, 8.3 in April, May), and MS themselves expecting to sell 9 millionth by June from a statement in May).

This is obviously a typo; and I think you'll see why in the quote of your next post. -Official Ninja of [coming soon]... |
Re: Updated Console Worldwide Sales Numbers
Actually that picture is quite interesting.
that there is an actual source. if thoes numbers are the exact ones in the EGM, you now know where EGM got them from. Which also could make Games exageration theory a little more likely. :p |
Re: Updated Console Worldwide Sales Numbers

The comparison, if stated by all March numbers (from the links I gave), would be: -Sony at 51 million -Nintendo at 9.4/9.5 million -Microsoft at 8 million Instead this pic is also very inaccurate, showing: -Sony worldwide shipments from March -Microsoft EXPECTATIONS for JUNE -Nintendo worldwide shipments from March Why exactly, did Sony go this far to attempt to show Xbox at #2 from expectations that aren't consistant with what's been reported AFTER E3 (MS expecting 9 million in JUNE, NOT 13)? That's a good question, but either way, look at that EGM article if you have it. Notice they say MS already SOLD (past tense) 13 million in MARCH. Look at the pic YOU POSTED. Note that it says MS EXPECTS to sell 13 million by JUNE. So which one is it? Did MS sell 13 in March, or does it expect to sell this in June, according to your two sources (since you obviously didn't read mine). Then once you get over that, then you can read the articles I posted a page ago that add even more contradiction. Please pay attention, and read posts thoroughly next time. -Official Ninja of [coming soon]... |

Also, these numbers aren't any more a real source than the links I've posted of Reuters, CNBC, etc claiming MS sold significantly less from combined data (TRSTS, Charttrack, Dengeki, etc). These numbers have all been confirmed BEFORE this powerpoint chart (except MS's 13) far back in March; Sony's press conference display does not make it new, nor does it make it any more accurate. -Official Ninja of [coming soon]... |
Re: Updated Console Worldwide Sales Numbers
What i meant is thoes are the exact numbers EGM put in. but EGM put them in the wrong context.
51.2, 13, 9.4 are the same numbers. But you are abosutly right. and i missed that when i first looked at his pic there. That picture he posted speaks volumes. 13 by june. why on earth they would say by june for xbox and not GC or ps2 is beyond me. whether they really want Xbox to be seen as number 2 or they couldnt get an exact number so they put expectations down instead. i dunno. very interesting tho. (still stand by my statment tho that 2 and 3 dont matter. they still not #1 :p ) |

By the same token, it could be that Microsoft's fiscal year ends in June. Thus, they wouldn't tell us how sales are coming along right now but instead talk about expectations for June. Remember, up until October or so last year, Nintendo never talked about how many consoles they sold but how many they expected to sell by March. There were a lot of stories about how they were downgrading their estimates, as I recall. Of course, this all depends on Microsoft's fiscal year actually ending in June which we don't know. And I'm too lazy to go find out. :p |

But what I'm puzzled about is how or why you people are arguing to the death about all of this...Does it matter to you THAT much as to which game console is in 2nd place? |

Every time one of these threads are started. its either a MS or Nintendo fan trying to show thier better then the opposite, never seems to be a Sony fan starting them up. |
