quincy, you must be aware that statements like:
"Jeez, I didn't even notice, but there was only a single GC title up there."
sounds a lot like feigned innocence and its real purpose could either to hurt gamecube fans feelings, or, as you are a fan yourself, to celebrate defeat of enemy plateform.
but of course you're the only one who knows what you were thinking when writing that..

Wow, Metroid fell off the charts pretty quickly.
Ummm...I didn´t noticed that. Too bad, I was hoping for 2 million units in the U.S. alone, but now it´ll be lucky to achieve that worldwide. It´s also astonishing the number of EA games up there, as is the lack of any GCN software in the top 20.
BTW, Blade, are you the same one that posts in that other forum (xg)?

I'll explain it again, and again, for you and the others that are ALWAYS looking too deep into ANYTHIGN I say.
We were asked if there were any suprises in the intial post, and I basically replied "Nope". then I had a closer look at the information and noticed that there was only one GC game in the top 20. To me, that is a suprise and I was too quick to say "Nope".
Now, you can take that an spin it however you like. I no longer care!! I'm fedup with cube fanboys crawling over every one of my words like I'm trying to hurt thier feelings or something. If I really wanted to get under your skin I could easily do so, but I have no reason to do that since I too OWN A CUBE.
This has been going on for almost two years now. Cube fanboys jumped all over me when I said nintendo didn't have any solid online plans. BOOM an argument started! Cube fanboys would jump all over me when i first started saying that nintendo targets the younger demographic. BOOM! another argument starts, even though Nintendo readily admits that in both print (while also saying the opposite at times) and their actions. meanwhile just about eveyone in the game industry knew that to be a fact, yet i'm the bad guy bad mouting nintendo.
Meanwhile there's nothing wrong with that with of my points above, I could care less. I was only stating something as i saw a fact. All I really care about are getting games I like to play. I publish games on all platforms and deal with Nintendo, SONY and MS. However the cube fanboy's have to blow it out of proportion and act like I'm ALWAYS insulting them.

No need to defend yourself Quincy. It's not that big of a deal to the people who generally post on this board. Just because you have a Cube doesn't mean diddly squat. It's how you show certian bias towards a company over another. It's not a big deal if you are more of a fan of the Xbox than another system. Most people don't care. Your defenses go up when someone accuses you of being a fanboy, big deal. It's not that big of a deal because you're not showing ignorance in your posts unlike other members on this board such as the one who likes to tease.
I'm a fan of all consoles, and it's a shame to see the GCN selling so poorly in the US and Europe. But that's not to say its doing badly, because if Nintendo is making a profit from being in 3rd then it's not too big of a deal. If it hinders other 3rd parties from making money from the GCN then they shall simply discontinue support for it, which will have lasting effects on Nintendo in the next generation. But so far, I don't see too many 3rd parties complaining about it too much. Just don't develop for it specifically without some nestegg from Nintendo.
Sony keeps impressing me with how well it is doing with the PS2, let's hope they continue the tradition going into the next generation with the PS3. Microsoft is gong to bring it on with the Xbox2 and that's going to be a console war of all console wars.
Of course us gamers will benefit the most. Hooray.

Heh, that was suttle stuff there dude, well done
Maybe it'd be better for you to go to the appropriate thread and tell me exactly how I'm being ignorant? Rather then posting a 'subtle' comment like that in a totally different thread.. which is sort of pointless and silly.
As for the topic, I don't see why this thread has gotten so voletile. Its sort of like the last thread I was in. One comment and its jumped on, BOOM there goes the thread.
P.S. In case you didn't know, my username actually has nothing what so ever to do with teasing, and its not something I do unless I'm provoked anyway. Now you really want to know what my username means don't you? Don't pretend you don't.. oops I'm teasing now

You mean Sk8er Boi.. get it right damn you!
BTW.. I wish I was Sk8er Boi.. all be it not fictional. Mmmm Avril... drool *faints*
P.S. What are you talking about iscariot? No seriously you've lost me man, who's Sk8ter Boy? Your boyfriend maybe?
WOOO..WOOO.. warning.. warning, danger Will Robinson That WAS infact a joke. Do not, I repeat DO NOT take it seriously and overeact

That WAS infact a joke. Do not, I repeat DO NOT take it seriously and overeact Several things I noticed from the charts. First of all EA is king of the world right now. They can do nothing wrong. It seems everything they touch turns to gold. They are kicking major ass on the PS2. Sony needs to thank God everynight for EA's support. Also EA is doing well on the other platforms too.
Secondly I predicted the sales of DOAX and PDO dead on. 80,000/60,000 is what I said.
Third, Nintendo is getting thier money's worth. If you advertise and promote the least of the three companies than that's where you'll end up..third. Metroid Prime dropped off mainly cause the advertising stopped the day it arrived basically. NOA needs to learn to promote post date the release of games.
I agree with Qroach. There's nothing new here. Except GBA games sold better than all of the XB and GCN games. Now is the slow time of year for sales. I really do think NOA will see the fruits of thier labor for Feburary with the new 'Free game' promotion and Zelda hype just starting. I'm not gonna predict they'll post sales better than XB for Feb but I'll bet you'll see the GCN do about 200,000 units for Feb. Xbox around that many and PS2 around tha same as Jan numbers.

talking someone blowing things out of proportion :/
don't take it bad if i qualified you as a fan. it means having personnal preferences and having a little bias. i didn't mean to hurt you or to be pejorative as i don't think there is something wrong being a fan..
most of us are fan, i recognize myself as a nintendo fan, despite some ppl (nintendo fan boys ?) recognized me as a "xbot" ...
in an other hand, arguing for pages with guys like teasy, seems unreasonable to me.. do you feel obliged to react to each one of his posts ? can't you just ignore them ? if i was thinking what you seem to think of teasy and his posts i wouldn't care about it at all.
you seem not bothered at all by chap, why are you bothered so much by teasy ?
marconelly!

Heh, if anyone should be thanking God for EA support it's MS and Nintendo. EA would do just fine (almost as good as they are doing now might I say) on PS2 alone, and we've all seen how major factor they can be in a console's success. Their support on PS2 is a given, and I really don't see why sould Sony be thanking anyone for that. Who are they going to support if not the obvious market leader?
