You know Fanboy said to me once, "It's not about the arguments you start but the games you play that matter most"......it's true, I've met him unfortunately

"Parading sales charts around again? You really have no life, do you?"
"No, sir!"

An article coming form a Microsoft Xbox site says it all.

No one cared about sales figures until Microsoft stepped into the gaming industry.

No other company influences so many gamers to care about sales figures more than games themselves like Microsoft does & dragged them into the stupid console sales war.

It could have been better if Microsoft announces a new game every week instead of grand standing sales figures, billion dollar TV ads & Kinect games.

If Microsoft, the world's biggest billion dollar SOFTWARE giant, really cared about the health of the gaming industry:
1)PC gaming wont be in the rut situation it has been for decades & 2)Xbox 360 platform would be filled to the rim by quality & quantity AAA exclusive games that should have dwarfed the Sony & Nintendo AAA games line ups.

But no.

M$ is in it only for the money.

They are too lazy to make their own games and would rather have the talented people do the dirty work for them.

One could only imagine if Nintendo or Sony owns the Windows Operating System...... we will be breathing fantastic games on the PC!

This sad predicament will no doubt continue with their next platform.

It's always better going into an argument or starting one with an informed opinion.

Report suggests the UK is a console nation

Bit-Tech: Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the tide of console gamers is a cultural phenomenon which does not appear to cross every border. According to NPD's research, while the UK has the highest incidence of console usage out of all the markets analysed Germany boasts the biggest number of PC gamers.

France, meanwhile, is clinging on to dedicated hand-held consoles like the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PlayStation Portable at a time when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets.

"when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets."

you mean like japan, europe or the US where the 3ds is breaking records?

People are ditching the 3DS so fast in the US, 3ds sales have doubled over ds first year sales and the year isnt even over.

No source, no truth

who approved this garbage?

Knight_Cid4452d ago

you shouldnt be proud to approve slander

ATi_Elite4452d ago

but 250 million global online PC Gamers say other wise.

Everyone with a Gaming PC can play Wii Games so does that mean the world is a Wii Nation?

I think people just enjoy Games and it really doesn't matter the platform.

Console Nation, PC Universe, iPhone Realm, doesn't matter just enjoy your Games.

Considering most PC Gamers will own 1 or more consoles , declaring the UK as a "console nation" is complete and utter bollox.

kevnb4452d ago (Edited 4452d ago )

owning a console and playing the occasional game once in a blue moon doesnt make you a console gamer. Just like owning a pc and maybe playing some random flash game doesnt make you a pc gamer. Alot of pc gamers bought ps3s, its a blu-ray player and media hub that plays games.

I'm from the UK and game on nearly every platform I can think of.

But yes in general I'm more thumbs than fingers when It comes to my games.

Paul Christoforo to Write a Book Based on the Ocean Marketing Debacle

Remember in December of last year when Paul Christoforo became the pariah of the internet? Ocean Marketing was at the center of a scandal that took the internet by storm after Christoforo exchanged rude, angry emails with a customer of Avenge Controllers, for whom Christoforo was providing customer service. I recently had the chance to speak with Paul about the whole ordeal and what his life has been like since.
