Digg looooooves VGcharts, btw. Shit gets posted there at least once a week, always with a title like, "Wii outsells iPod, Honda Civic and milk, combined."
And Digg blocks links directly back to GAF. Conspiracy!

Oh and Poor SonyCowboy. Apparently hes the one in charge of all this.

And how 'bout that... um, Moto-storm demo?

It's really grand. 1080 Ps!
And that's A LOT of P's. The xbox 2 only has about half that.

Have you tried out those Blue Rays? They're pretty awesome.

From the "article":

Why is it that most of these "new users" post only when needed? Like in sales threads.

Uhm, I'm like the only "Sony Fanboy" (in quotations because I don't think I'm a Sony fanboy, just anti-DS selling so well, but others think I am) in the sales thread, so I don't get where they're getting that from?

I'd better hop on IRC, using my SONY VAIO. Unfortunately, I cannot tear myself away from EVERQUEST 2.
aw damnit, you could at least try to be a proper shill - No one would believe that. :(

once again, further proof that NeoGAF is pretty much the center of the Internet Gaming Universe. I mean regardless of whether or not this story is fact or fiction... why do they give a screw? :lol

See this why I get paid more, instead of being pro-Sony I act as a stupid xbot to make people think that Xbox owners are idiots.
That's what most of us elite do, our anti-Nintendo campaign is going really well.

Next gen is not possible without BluRay. Cell makes games prettier and framerates more stable. PSN is a comprehensive online service.

Best thread all week.
Understandable that something had to come with all of the good news.
You have to kind of pity some of the interweb.

Seriously, they cant believe this.
Only a complete idiot would believe a conspiracy like that.
Nobody here would ever give an unbiased opinon.
You really have to wonder about some people.

hey, I played EQ2 a while back and loved
uninstalling
it a LOT!

and ManaByte is a big time EQ2 fan, not saying this to open him up to ridicule, but just because a game doesn't interest you doesn't mean that no one out there appreciates it

... lol, i don't think people need proding to think fanboys of any console are idiots...

it's as easy to achieve as it is to eject a ps3 disk using the elegant heat sensor design.
