You read what was written you joined up and made your 1st post a reply to my rant

and stick up for myself ????????"


-I said stuck up on yourself:D.  But again I didn\'t come to PS2 Central because of your rant.  Was looking through the boards seeing if I wanted to join, read a few post...(including yours) and decided to join.  Another reason is I\'m getting a PS2 for X-Mas.  If I joined up just because of your rant then I would have left after replying, but I didn\'t.  I plan on being on the boards for a long time.

Hold up... so this whole argument is about about who sold the most consoles in the first week, and people are trying to say Nintnedo is the fastest sellin console ever. I\'m deeply suprised alot of people didn\'t pick up on this. Nintnedo has a long history of twisting the truth to serve their needs. While they don\'t often outright LIE.. they aren\'t honest either.. not by a long shot.

Sony sold out of their entire stock of PS2\'s in one day. HAD there been say... a million at the initial launch, you could arguably say those would have sold out the same day also. Nintendo only won the "Fastest in a week" award because Sony didn\'t have the supply to meet demand. Clearly, the console with the most demand this generation has been the PS2. Nintnedo\'s "Record" will always live in the shadow of Sony\'s hardware production problems.

Anyone remember when Nintnedo claimed that their console had the largest userbase EVER? Letting people assume that they meant the N64 when in the fine print you can see they were talking about their handheld Gameboy. Or that little comment about shifting their entirety of their focus to portables. Everyone assumed they were dropping most of their support for the Dolphin, but then whala! A lil tiny GameCube... with a handle.

People need to learn how to read between the lines when they\'re talking about anything Nintnedo "Offically" says.

Is it me, or did this hype die extremely fast?

I remember the X-box\'s and Gamecubes launch day was crazy, and then a few days after that, now everything seems normal.

Like someone said in an earlier post, nothing but smooth-sailing. Sony without question will win the "Christmas War"

I wanted to buy an xbox for my brother for christmas.  I called Toy R\' Us in my area and they said of the third shipment, two are left and he wouldn\'t hold one for me because they are in high demand.  Needless to say, when I got there 45 minutes later both systems were gone.  They had half a dozen GCs there (shipment #2 I\'m told) and they too are in high demand.  I actually watched one get sold.

So I would say it\'s just you.

N and MS are going to sell every system they ship this year, just because you say the hype is dying down doesn\'t make it so.

This paranoia is senseless.  The PS2 is not threatened by these new systems.  The userbase is there and so will the games.  Open your minds and accept that the new systems might actually be good and desired by others.  Even if both new systems out pace PS2, the PS2 will not be abandoned by devs because there is too much money to be made.

So please, stop all this fanboyism.

WORD.

That is what I was saying back in the Summer when we were making predictions of this Christmas\' console sales.  I said that the Xbox and NGC will sell out no matter what, and the PS2 will still sell more overall (because of the availability).  The demand is VERY high right now for all next gen consoles, and this won\'t change until after Christmas.
