Those numbers are for what country?
/. . My bad, I forgot 99% of people don't RTFA. The article points out that the reason businesses drop support for Nintendo is because of the huge stigma that is leveraged toward them in the press.
Oh crap, I posted a link on
The PlayStation series has always been a bigger seller.
The Playstation consoles have been bigger sellers WORLDWIDE, but only during their existence. I would doubt, however, that they sold better during the NES and early SNES days.

The troll logic here really is so stupid that I have to bite. Sorry, common sense, I apologize.
Isn't it 2005? If you're going to refute the parent, at least get some recent sales numbers
Isn't it 2005? If you're going to refute the parent, at least use some brainpower. I know that it's been 2005 for almost, 0M6, 2 D4Yz0RZ now, and I'm sure your 31337ness gives you access to NPD's live feeds or something, but I'll go with what's been published. The article also points out the stigma that Nintendo faces in the press, that which makes no sense.
It seems like MS has been moving quite a few units during the holidays
This is an interesting statement. You accuse me of using out-of-date data, and yet you fail to provide any link to a source that would back up your claim.
it's very difficult to get accurate sales figures in regards to consoles.
Yeah, there's no way to add up the total numbers of how many units are sold. No company would ever attempt to do that.
(sig)--> I hate liberals. If you are a liberal, do not reply.
Move every sig, for great trolling.

I remember that when the xbox was nearing release, and for a while after its release, there was a constant river of slime coming from the hard core Nintendo fan base about how the Xbox was just a paperweight, it was bigger than a Dodge Truck, it was stupid, it was just a pc, it sucked, halo sucked, Microsoft sucked, the controller would eat you and rape your mom because it was so big, and the people who worked for microsoft were souless imps who wrote code in between picking their butts and stepping on puppies.
I went and bought an xbox just because it seemed like anything that so many people hated had to be cool. I was right. It's bitchin' fun. I sometimes wonder if a lot of other gamers didn't choose xbox for the same reason.
