NO, they DID NOT LIE. They said that nintendo had sold 9.5 million in march.

Maybe you're not paying attention to my STATEMENT, which specificially stated Nintendo's claim of #2 (at only 10 million units) @ E3 (i.e. mere weeks ago)- which would be a LIE, or impossible if Microsoft indeed sold 13 million IN MARCH.

See that now? Good.

NOT ONCE did I dispute the fact that the xbox numbers may be inaccurate.

OK, then who said this:

"Or are you just afraid to admit that the cube is in 3rd?"

Why would I "admit" anything that isn't true right now?

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.

What the hell are you on about?

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).

Just because YOU DIDN'T READ THE POST WELL ENOUGH doesn't give you the right to change your point.

I'm saying the same thing I've been saying all along; read my first post again ("WELL ENOUGH", even), and you will see.

In your original post you never acknowledged the fact that those numbers were from March.

Oh my damn- did you read only bits of my post, or the whole thing? If you read the entirety, you wouldn't have missed this:

"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.

You think I'm ignorant

If you can't understand my point and read my post correctly this time, then that will no longer be a thought; that's for sure.

fine you wouldn't be the first person on the internet to think that

I wouldn't be the first person in this thread to think that, either.

you can try and be condescending, try and put me down.

Or, I can break it down to you Barney style, as I did above. If you don't understand then, you're making an effort to not know.

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.

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.

I believe you; the aimless rant quoted here proves just that...

You, on the other hand, ran headfirst into your post without reading the other posts.

Thank you SO MUCH for ASSUMING so much, without:

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?

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.

Looking at your assumption that I "didn't know about when the numbers were from", I'd love to think otherwise. Funny how message boards and opinons work, eh?

Remember, you responded to me, which tells me I got my point across just fine.

The sad part is, even though I understand now that you somehow mistook me as a "dumbass" who "can't read" since you THOUGHT I didn't know the numbers were from March (which is what makes them false in the first place, btw), I still saw no real point here. Are you, or are you not saying 13 million is real? Are you agreeing that the numbers were 13 in March (since I can't "admit GC is in 3rd"), meaning that Nintendo is lying about being in second, just weeks ago at E3 with lower than that supposed number of sales?

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?

Thanks for playing!

Maybe you're the only one "playing here". Or perhaps you're a gameshow host of some kind?

Read my post and my point again. It's all good folk.
