    Not everyone is desperate for friends, DrSpike.

    The people who left are the people who cannot construct a sensible argument to save their lives. That's why their forum is so pathetic.

      I'm still here, that must mean Asher doesn't dislike me that much after all. *gasp* Asher loves me.

        I think he secretly does, yes.

        But the reason you are still here is that you appear oblivious to Asher's usual rubbish.

          No need to care much for what he says most of the time anyways.

            How bad is it that the only consol I kept was the PSP?

              That depends on which ones you disposed of.

                Pretty bad i would say. I guess it depends on the game you like, but the psp does certainly have the least impressive game library of the generation.

                    For comparison, November 2008:
                    Wii - 2,040,000
                    Xbox 360 - 836,000
                    Playstation 3 - 378,000
                    PS3 way up, obviously.

                    Wii down 50% even with the price drop. Wheels are slowly coming off this gimick.

                      One of the biggest stories here is Uncharted 2. WTF? It's not charting.

                      It's the best game of the year, biggest advertising budget yet for a game this year, best looking game of the year, and it's only sold 300,000 or so copies?

                      Sony's exclusives are performing PATHETICALLY. Without exception.

                        Nice.

                        Like every other game released this year, or pretty much any year for that matter.

                          Not so fast.

                          As much as I have no interest in the Wii, I find it pretty impressive that even having dominated hardware sales for a long period, and with larger price cuts this year for the 360 and PS3, the Wii is still the biggest seller.

                          Slowly is the operative word in your sentence I think.

                            Yeah that's really worrying. With the PS3 numbers much better this year I'd have expected a good exclusive to take hold.

                            Maybe it's a slow burner that will sell more in the run up to Christmas.

                              Do you understand the meaning of the word 'slowly'? Or am I using overly technical sciencey words.

                              As much as I have no interest in the Wii, I find it pretty impressive that even having dominated hardware sales for a long period, and with larger price cuts this year for the 360 and PS3, the Wii is still the biggest seller.

                              The 360 did not have a larger price cut this year.

                              The only price "cut" I remember is getting rid of the Pro SKU and making it Elite, which isn't much of one at all.

                                Perhaps you don't understand the phrase 'operative word'. I will try to dumb it down in future when talking to computer nerds.

                                And on the price cuts here in the UK there was a pretty big cut around August time for the Elite, which fed through to the other models.
