Wii Absolutely Crushes All-Comers in July Japan

Since when is 256,765 to 217,639 a close race? That's the equivalent of winning:

A Formule One Grand Prix by 54 kilometres.

An Olympic 100 m sprint by 1.8 seconds

The Grand National by 533 lengths.

And, for you Tim, this years Tour De France by a lead of 630 kilometres.

Any of those sound close to you?

Since when are you unable to read the word "Wii" in a headline? PSP vs DS is another story, a story which is growing.

Cheers

Since never! My alleged inability to read the word Wii is entirely irrelevent.

I was talking about the PSP/DS race, which you described thusly: "the close run race saw Sony breaking the tape ahead of the DS with the following numbers PSP = 256,765. DS = 217,639."

Ergo, the PSP sold 117.9% what the DS sold. The DS trailed the PSP figures by 15%.

Those are the numbers I used as the basis of my comparisons. Though I would like to correct my maths though to 45km, 1.5 seconds, 444 lengths, and 525km. Still none of which would ever be described as close run, though.

Admittedly, it's not the total domination that Wii displayed in the home consoles, but it is not particularly "close run" either.

you could cut the sexual tension with a knife... though i woudn't attempt to literally do that.


get it over with guys.

First up, apologies for reading too fast and understanding too little - and the sarcasm. No need for that.

Yes, PSP did outsell DS by 15%.

To make my point, I should have said "In comparison to the console sales competition, the handheld race was a more close run thing..."

Point taken. Moving on now...

Please note that it has been illegal since 2003 to use the above word in everyday conversation, since it brings discussions past accepted levels of pretentiousness.

This law was introduced in response to 'The Architect' scene in Matrix Revolutions.

Now that I'll happily concede!

hey! since when has it been ok to misquote people, i dont see the popular press doing so.

first ss4 now me!?

ergo, visa ve!

Dear SPOnGers

Right now, I'm sitting here with my skin covered in small red blotches and my eyes being attacked by pixies (probably 10xMegaPixies) with tiny buckets of battery acid which they use to dip their sandpaper-covered pickaxes in - oh, they then laugh merrily has they drop quartz grit under eyelids every half an hour.

While this is happening all my joints are being filled with rusty ballbearings and my throat filled with slices of sheet steel. Yes, it's the summer.

For those in the know - I have not even been close to any red wine. In fact, I have not had a drink of life-giving booze since Friday night.

The antihistamines are as useful as cloaks of dried lemon grass in a fire.

This puts me in a bad mood for no good reason.

Yours

Tim

You know for a second, I thought you were trying to insinuate that SPOnG isn't part of the above.

oh yeah, its:

the sun
the news of the world
spong

Did you not say, "though i woudn't attempt to literally do that"? You did.

All I said was that I wanted to see you attempt it. I can't see me misquoting you there. In fact, I wouldn't dream of it. And, no matter what my mood, I would never put you in the same frame as SS4.

Cheers

Tim

ha!

are you ok? you seem a little defensive.. you have to realise, i am very hard to offend. i was only joking. and you kinda semi quoted ms doyle, so thats ok.

and you did misquote me, for comic effect, i was just going along with it. is all..

not everybody on here is a demented social retard. (are we allowed to say that?)

im looking at you (insert name here)

To be frank, I'm in pain and whinging about it to all and sundry as my Pom stereotype demands. I'm never happy about it even being hinted that I misquote. And as for classing us in the same mouldiness (sic) as any of Murdoch's rags... well... just... well... that makes me angry as a bee in a China Shop who can't find a way out due to the windows and doors all being sealed up to stop the bargain-hunting bulls getting in.

Atchooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Cheers
