@Michael: Why shouldn't it be legal to resell it? The EULA doesn't apply, so all things said in it about reselling are null and void. The actual end user also doesn't see the EULA, so it's also invalid for him.

Well, I think you're not quite right on this part: "Leaving aside the fact that the OS X installer displays the EULA on-screen and that you have to click "Agree" before installing, we'd just like to point out that all of Apple's license agreements are available for your leisurely perusal before purchase right here -- including the German OS X license, which we're damn sure Apple's foreign counsel has made sure is valid and applicable in that country"
I'm no law expert, but afaik German law requires the EULA to be *accepted* before purchase. That can't happen through EULA acceptance during install (as this clearly isn't before purchase) and not through reading them on Apple's website (as they can't be accepted there). That may be some legal nitpicking, but I guess Hypermeganet isn't too far away from the truth here.

Lederhosen in Leipzig? I guess you won't find any of these at the GC. ;)

"And you just proved my point on comment #53,wupperbayer."
What, by correcting your false statement? Impressive.

"And sorry folks, but the Wii is nowhere near 4 million units even shipped. I love the Wii, but just stop pulling numbers out of your asses."

According to vgcharts, the Wii's really near 4 millions sold. vgcharts says 3.54 million worldwide, but only 1.57 for America. If you add .3 that's "missing" you end up with ~3.8 millions worldwide. This *is* near 4 million.

@crono141: "The hardcore PS3 market has been satiated. The amount of people willing to get a PS3 at any cost has been reached. Apparently there were only about 1.5 million of them worldwide."

No, not worldwide. Except you define "worldwide" as "Japan and the Americas" ;-) If the sales in those countries continue to be that mediocre we in Europe maybe will never see the PS3 for its full price. If not, expect about 500.000 more PS3s to be sold in Europe, I can't think of more.

@porkepik: "Hum for all the guys laughing at the PS3 figures from vgstats(looking at you texrob) they seems a lot more accurate than nexgenwars"

True, but the Wii sales are false according to NPD figures - 1.57m (vgcharts) versus 1.8m (NPD). But yes, vgcharts is pretty accurate n general. And they can only become better with the exact NPD figures.

Sure, Neil. It’d be just the third or fourth delay, so I don’t trust Sony anymore. I’m sure you can understand this, don’t you?

@Dero: Yes, but to be fair, North America and Japan do have two advantages:
First, they’re both using the Never The Same Col... err, NTSC system so the consoles can be techincally the same.
Second, there are ~100 million people in Japan and ~330 million people in North America speaking the same language (Japanese and English respectively), whereas we in Europe do have ~20 languages, of which at least 5 are essential to sell something in Europe (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian; sorry to all Portugueses, Poles, Swedes, etc. pp.). So Europe IS a difficult and expesive market for entertainment corporations.

Yes, bateman, and 97,5% of those 59% have never ever saw any video games. ;-)
