I could tell he was being sarcastic. And I thought it was pretty good. Gotta give some rep just because I feel like it.

*Looks hard to find where Joeiss replied* Looks like I don't see one. Plus, it must be funny in some way.

I believe bobcat was referring to my past sarcastic replies in other threads!

Dumbass. <----- sarcasm

nice one Stu...

Anyway, I think GCN and Xbox are both getting thier asses handed to them, so it doesn't matter who is in second place

I have noticed more and more people getting Xbox's lately, did it have any type of sales jump in the last 3 months?

Shadow Fox · 06-26-2003, 01:19 PM

I can't help but think EGM is totally wrong on this info. They list no sources whatsoever, and, (being a post-E3 issue), this basically says that Nintendo lied, and that they haven't sold well over 10 million cubes by now, with Xbox at 9.

Now, I for one (knowing MS's aggressive PR) NEVER heard a peep of MS claiming otherwise, even at E3 after NCL threw their "we're number 2" chants. Ed Fries WOULD NOT let this carry on if it were false, IMO.

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.

Please tell me how Nintendo lost 100k units globally, and how MS gained 5 million Xbox sales in two months (MS claimed 8.3 million in March).

Relevant links:

Nintendo's numbers
Microsoft's numbers (fiscal failure)
Microsoft's numbers

Please think about this; I've already contacted EGM about this potential error.

Hopefully, this isn't another instance of sales being counted only for the fiscal year for Nintendo but being counted for the entire console lifespan for Microsoft as was done with the Bloomberg numbers a while ago. I still don't know how or why that happened unless some Bloomberg analyst has a vendetta against Nintendo.

I don't think that's what happened here, but it's something to keep in mind.

I don't see it either, were there any big-budget titles this year? Not really... Brute Force, RCTW, uhh, DOAX? Did DOAX sell two or three million on DOAX? Meanwhile, Gamecube sales were sloppy because of Zelda?

I smell BS. **** EGM for controversy, that's exactly why I never read them.

Can't you dumbasses read?

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

As was posted in bond's innitial post.

And as I pointed out in my previous post.

THESE NUMBERS ARE FROM MARCH!

Yes 9.5 (9.4, nintendo might have just rounded up) IN MARCH!

NO IT DOESN'T

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:

No one is disputing that fact. Not even EGM.

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.

That alone proves you didn't read it. you thought that EGM was saying nintendo had 9.4 million in may and that it had lost 100,000 from march (because you know that the number was 9.5 in march) and that xbox which was at 8.3 million sold in march gained 5 million from march to may (two months.) You thought they meant May. They didn't.

You didn't read it.

Stonecutter · 06-27-2003, 04:00 PM

You are so full of $hit it is coming out of your ears

I'm going to break this down real fine for everyone.

Of course nintendo could have gained 500k - 1.5 million from march to may. Had you have known that the numbers were from march, there would be no reason to make that statement. But because you just had to go and attack egm for DARING to suggest that your beloved nintendo just might be in third place you ran into the situation head long, you stupid fanboy.

Nowhere in your post did you recognize the fact that the numbers, in EGM, were from March.

You did not read that, and because you didn't you're a dumbass. That's is the only thing I've been trying to prove since I've started talking to you in this thread. I could really care less where the xbox stands in relation to the cube because I own both. But when cube fanboys, (or any fanboys) and going further than that dumbass cube fanboys, feel the need to spread your propaganda of the insecure around, you piss a lot of people off.

You also took far more offense (a lot) to my post than anyone else (none) which was completely unwarranted.

YOU DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT THOSE NUMBERS WERE FROM MARCH.

And I told you that those numbers were from march. You didn't know it at the time, but now you're twisting your original statement.

Maybe you would just admit that you didn't read the original post and that you were just being a total moronic fanboy, but chances are you won't.

Such is the nature of the fanboy, but you're also a dumbass, who doesn't know when he's beaten.

I look forward to watching you attempt to writhe your way out of this one.

Or, perhaps, like the cockroach who has been exposed to the light, you will scatter, back to your hole.

For the sake of your ignorance, Stonecutter, I'll point out my ENTIRE POST below:

This IS a post- E3 issue (where Nintendo claimed #2 with only 10 million sold). If MS sold 13 million in March, then Nintendo lied. Point and case 1.

Quote:

Again touching on the validity of 13 million being sold in March, if ever. Nintendo wouldn't have foolishly claimed they sold more than 13 with only 10 million (since, logically speaking, 10 is LESS than 13). Microsoft would have also said Nintendo was lying, and would have claimed #2 worldwide to negate this (as they have with Austrailia, and UK for a week or two). Point and case 2.

Quote:

Directly saying that EGM's numbers were wrong for MARCH (they claimed 9.4, which is incorrect according to other sources that say 9.5, as listed and linked at the end of the post). Point and case 3.

Quote:

Please tell me how Nintendo lost 100k units globally

THIS is VERY IMPORTANT- this is the part of my post you either overlooked, or had no clue as to what it meant.

I'm implying here that EGM is TAKING away 100k of unit sales from what Nintendo officially stated on 3/31 (9.4 vs 9.5). I DID NOT MISSREAD when the numbers were posted; I QUESTIONED the number itself, since Nintendo claimed otherwise in the same timeframe. These number negate each other for this timeframe.

Quote:

and how MS gained 5 million Xbox sales in two months (MS claimed 8.3 million in March).

And here I'm proving that Xbox in no way could sell thru it's projected 8 million (from January) and have 13 in then end of March, especially when MS themselves still claim recently that they plan to sell their 9 millionth unit by July, and that they claimed 8.3 million in March, NOT 13 million, as stated by the links below:

Relevant links:

List of PROOF that EGM's numbers contradict others.

My saying IN THE FIRST PLACE that I've already contacted EGM, who just recently sent me a nice vague reply that my "comments will be heard" (the same crap auto-replies Nintendo and MS give you for email).

That's my ENTIRE post. You kept talking about it, so I put it out in the open, fact per fact.
