Didn't you learn anything last time, when the PS3 destroyed 7weeks 360 sales in a single week? Clearly not..

Don't forget PS3 has over 2m advantage in Japan..

Best lineup of games ever? I don't see the SNES on that sales chart.

Obviously the oldest system still sold is going to have the best selection of games available. That doesn't make it the best lineup ever, though.

I don't recall implying that it had one of the best lineups ever because it's old. It's a legitimate contender.

In before the people all hyped up on nostalgia come and verbally crucify me.

The DS can play GBA games, but not GB games.

The SNES has the best lineup out there so STFU.

Now that I've fulfilled your "in before", I'd have to say that the PS2 does have the best lineup, especially when you consider all the PS1 games it can play, and the SNES games that got remade for it.

By Wiinterfang's definition, half of the PS3 sysmtems made should probably have the best console lineup then. Not only do I get to play MGS4, but I get to also play FFX too!

Abuzar,
I said nothing about the SNES not being on the chart, I was just saying that it had the best lineup of games ever.

tmac,
It has nothing to do with how old it is or nostalgia. Most SNES games still hold up. But if you're one of those kids whose first system was the original Playstation then I'll have to take your opinion with a sea-full of salt. You understand, right? It'd be like trusting a movie critic who got into writing reviews because of 2 Fast 2 Furious.

Only 80 million-ish people have one. Sony need to shift another 5.92 billion to cover everyone!

Well technically my first system was a NES, but I learned at a very young age you shouldn't leave it on all day while you go to school (it burst in flames when I came home). My first system that lasted a while was a SNES, and I still stand by what I said about the ps2. Most of these SNES games just aren't as good nowadays.

Oh and I finally beat chrono trigger for the first time a few days ago. Good game, but not as good as everyone says it is. I'm blaming nostalgia for that though.

If that picture is of the Wal-Mart sale a couple weeks back with the Compaq laptops, I was there. Seems more likely it would be a pic from Black Friday, but those look like the CQ-50's.

That was boring.

Actually, it's Target.
Wal-Mart doesn't wear red and khaki. Plus, you can see the red aisle markers in the back left corner.
(I know this because I work at Target.)

Wasn't everyone expecting the 360 to outsell the PS3 in Japan for the next few weeks (and some predicted for the rest of the year) because of TLR?

Oh well, it's not like it really matters, I suppose. The PS3 just got raped in America. Expect to see much gloating from 360 fans when this month's NPD is released.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Thank you! Well it's good to know I wasn't the only one not able to see what they were.

Now if Joystiq would let me change my avatar that joke would die. I guess the plus side is atleast people know what it is.

@foetoid: Nintendo also said DS wouldn't replace GBA and look where that ended up...

I guess given that lie^W claim it does make sense to track the two systems separately. Incidentally, even if you add them together, DS still only had a 21% sales increase this week.

Why am I not surprised to see the only two red arrows belong to Sony consoles...

You know those cliche shows where some star hits rock bottom? The point where their best friend tells them in disgust as they leave for the last time, "For christ's sake, get it together, bye..."
That's how I feel with how Sony is handling its home market of Japan....
That is all, carry on.
