Anyway , I don't believe VGchartz numbers , no matter who outsells who.

Either vgchartz is crap everyday (not when it pleases you) and people should stop approving them alltogether.


npd is where the numbers are!

VGchartz is simply just crap and a waste of time.

Can you provide convincing proof that VGchartz is crap? Or that NPD is any better?
Take that as a challenge, if you will.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/21/zimbabwe.unitednations


Millions of Zimbabweans are threatened with starvation after the widespread failure of the latest harvest brought on by the government's disastrous mishandling of land redistribution, and food shortages in the shops caused by hyperinflation.

The United Nations says hundreds of thousands of people require food aid immediately because they have harvested little or nothing in recent weeks. It has warned that up to 5 million will need assistance in the coming months. A third of the population is chronically malnourished.

But attempts to assist them are blocked by a ban on foreign aid agencies working in rural areas after President Robert Mugabe said they were fronts for "regime change" by Britain and the US.

Aid workers say the first signs of looming famine are evident, with significant population movements and children arriving at hospitals suffering from kwashiorkor (a form of malnutrition). Many families are reduced to one meal a day, with some living on fruit berries.

The UN says that it has seen a significant rise in the number of entire families fleeing to South Africa.

Food availability has also been hit by hyperinflation, which economists say runs above 10m%. The central bank is issuing a $100bn note today, the highest denomination to date but worth less than 10p.

The crisis is adding to the pressure on Mugabe to cede power to his opponents and save his country from further disaster.

But he defiantly continues to blame the shortages on an anti-government conspiracy, accusing companies of deliberately withholding fertiliser and other agricultural necessities. He has threatened to jail those he says are responsible.

At the weekend, the government said it was preparing to seize foreign-owned firms it accuses of supporting sanctions against Zimbabwe's leaders.

A medical worker in Matabeleland, where the maize crop failure was almost total, said that there were widespread food shortages and what did arrive was mostly given to members of Mugabe's Zanu-PF party.

"The situation is extremely severe in Matabeleland. Hunger is extreme. There are the odd maize deliveries but it only goes to people with Zanu cards. Even where there is food people can't afford it," she said.

"In St Luke's hospital in Lupane there are 16 children aged five to 12 with kwashiorkor. That's significant because in children of that age it's usually not related to HIV. It's almost certainly because of malnutrition and it's only the tip of the iceberg. These are the ones who made it to hospital. Most wouldn't."

"You see other signs that people are not getting enough to eat. There's an avalanche of people leaving."

In the Masvingo area in the east, witnesses say newly settled farmers are abandoning their land after the crop failures and making for towns. A Zimbabwean official in the area said large numbers of people were now resorting to desperate measures to survive including selling off precious livestock that often represented the bulk of a family's wealth.

"It is difficult to stop people leaving the land," he said. "People are selling livestock. They get five kilos of maize for two goats. For a cow it's 300 kilos of maize."

"People are no longer interested in politics. They are talking about how to survive, how to get money or food."

A report last month by the UN's Food and Agricultural Organisation and World Food Programme estimated that the recent maize harvest was down 28% on last year, which itself fell 44% on 2006.

The former white-owned farms are producing just 10% of the food they did a decade ago and long-established communal farmers, who used to grow the bulk of Zimbabwe's maize supply, are now growing about 25% of former production.

The report blames the crop failure on a combination of poor weather, a collapse in productivity on the redistributed white-owned farms and other government policies that have helped created shortages of seeds and fertiliser, and led to the collapse of infrastructure such as power and irrigation. It says unrealistic price controls have undermined the market.

The FAO/WFP report says that 2 million people will need assistance in the coming weeks as what remains of their food stocks runs out.

That number will rise to to 5.1 million early next year.

A WFP spokesman, Richard Lee, said that the principal obstacle to delivering food was the ban on foreign aid organisations that handle distribution on the ground. "The issue is the continuing ban on NGO activity. We were rounding up 300,000 of the most vulnerable people but because of the restrictions on NGOs we are only able to reach about 135,000 people. NGOs are absolutely crucial to our ability to deliver," he said.

The UN is pressing the government to lift the ban, although some foreign aid agencies feel it is not pushing hard enough.

Lee said that the WFP was hearing anecdotal evidence "that the situation is worrying in many areas".

"We're hearing these sorts of stories about reduction in meals earlier than usual. It is worrying that it is happening so close to the harvest. It's not Ethiopia in the mid-80s but clearly it is very worrying," he said.

Agriculturalists warn that the situation is not likely to improve with the next harvest. Zimbabwe requires 27,000 tonnes of maize seed for a season's planting. This year's yield looks likely to fall as low as 2,500 tonnes, leaving farmers with little to plant.

Weekly PS3 sales in Japan rise to over 75k.
The Japanese release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has caused as significant rise in the number of PlayStation 3’s sold in the region, with the console shifting over 75,000 units this past week, according to Famitsu publisher, Enterbrain.

Sony’s latest home console sold approximately 77,208 for the week ending June 15, with MGS4 itself closing in on the 500,000 sales mark, with a total of 476,334 copies sold in just four days.

http://www.psu.com/Weekly-PS3-sales-in-Japan-rise-to-over-75k--a0003989-p0.php

476000 copies were sold in 4 days at launch in Japan. One month after, total sales of MGS 4 is only 600000. Affter the initial spike, the sales of the game has flatlined.
Only 10676 copies of MGS4 were sold on the PS3 last week in Japan. Compare that to the sales of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP) that catapulted the PSP for 3rd position to 1st position in japan for over 9 weeks! The PSP has now outsold the DS and Wii in Japan simply because of one game. That's a MAJOR system seller.

vowiski:
for almost 3 month gtv4 sold 1.95m
and MGS4 IS less than 2 month and has sold nearly 1 million in the us.
WHAT ACTUALLY ARE You SAYING?
OR ARE You DAY DREAMING?
WAKE UP!

I sincerely apologize. I thought you'd be able to understand simple deductive reasoning.
It isn't about the number of months. If 1.95m copies of GTA4 have been sold, it means that there are at least 1.95m PS3 owners that are mature gamers.
Therefore, it means that of 1.94 million mature gamers, less than half saw fit to purchase the most hyped game on the PS3.
All i did was to use the GTA 4 sales number to estimate the number of mature gamers. Naturally this does not take into account the people with both a 360 and a PS3 who chose to buy the 360 version of GTA 4.
If i had used the total number of PS3s out there as a comparison point, that would have included those who bought the Ps3 solely as a BluRay player or even the casual gamers who would normally not buy any mature game like MGS4.

http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=1553

Major system seller, eh?
Check out comparison charts around the MGS4 release in the US, and around Halo 3 release last year. Notice how long the halo 3 'spike' lasts.


Quick hint though. Cumulative PS3 sales in the US is 5.43 million. Total sales of MGS4 in the US is less than 1 million, over a month after release. So less than 20% even bought the most hyped gamed on the PS3.

GTA 4 has sold 1.95m on the PS3 in the US. That means that there are 1.95m consoles on which mature, serious gamers play on. So why have over 1 million convinced gamers not bought in to MGS4, considering the level of hype? When you consider the fact that PS3 GTA 4 sales may have been hampered by gamers with both consoles getting the 360 version, then the portion of core gamers not getting MGS4 (which happens to be an exclusive) becomes more glaring.

[quote author=khai_khai link=topic=151829.msg2536858#msg2536858 date=1216655578]Self deceit, another one of your gifts. I could attack your argument on MGS4 being a system seller, or that most people are buying a PS3 for its bluray playing capabilities. And a few of the other 360 centered arguments you've put forward. But as experience has shown, it will be akin to arguing with a fanatic and hence an utter waste of my time.[/quote]Ah.


Are you hurt because i didn't go into a 'tirade' at you?

Now, let's take this logically

1. I never said MGS4 was not a system seller. I said it isn't/wasn't a MAJOR system seller.
proof below

July 7 - July 13
http://game.blogdig.net/archives/articles/July2008/20/Japanese_hardware_sales__July_7___July_13__Birth_of_gaming_journalism_edition.html
- PSP: 56,998 down 559 (0.99%)
- DS Lite: 48,540 down 1,085 (2.29%)
- Wii: 41,768 down 2,757 (6.19%)
- PS3: 12,458 down 1,901 (13.24%)
- PS2: 10,405 down 1,363 (11.58%)
- Xbox 360: 3,807 down 969 (20.29%)

June 30 - July 6
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/13/japanese-hardware-sales-june-30-july-6-e4-edition/
- PSP: 56,439 2,422 (4.11%)
- DS Lite: 47,455 1,429 (2.92%)
- Wii: 44,525 3,955 (8.16%)
- PS3: 14,359 3,614 (20.11%)
- PS2: 11,768 4,095 (53.37%)
- Xbox 360: 4,776 328 (6.43%)


As you can see, the PS3 selling 12000 - 14000 units weekly is a far cry from the 100k + vowiski was touting. Even the 40000 units average weekly he was spouting was untrue.
MGS4 came out in June in the US. Total sales in June = approx 750000 units. This, for one of the most anticipated and hyped games out there. Do you wanna know how much Halo 3 sold?

2. I never said most people were buying the PS3 for it's bluray capabilities. I said many people were buying it for use as a cheap Bluray player

I said

And i think it's pertinent to realise that a great many people are buying the PS3 just as a cheap Bluray player. it actually is one of the cheapest Bluray players on the market now.

While we're at it, highlight the '360 centered' arguments i've posted that are false. go ahead, buddy. I dare ya


[quote author=khai_khai link=topic=151829.msg2536858#msg2536858 date=1216655578]But as experience has shown, it will be akin to arguing with a fanatic and hence an utter waste of my time.[/quote]fanatic, eh? As i said before, i own all three of the next-gen game consoles, and even more Ps3 games than Xbox360 games. I've only tried to get rid of the disinformation concerning the potency of the 360 with respect to the PS3. The truth i've tried to put across is that the 360 is almost half the price of the PS3 in Nigeria, and with all the benefits (with the exception of Bluray). Lots of people could and should be enjoying HD gaming if only they can find their way past the sony fanboyism and propaganda. I try and help these people.

By the way, i've made the claim of owning all three consoles before, but to ward off any future challenge, here's proof attached below.

I just helped a friend book an appointment online for an interview in the French embassy.
The appointment letter says

Kindly be present at the following address, not more than 30 minutes before the appointed time.

See that? They are telling you Nigerians not to come more than 30 minutes before the interview. Yet Nigerians will be queuing up 3 hours before.
If the same embassy sends people away, you will complain, now that you Nigerians have ensured that long queues are there to stay, you complain.

haba?!

The woman's papers had already been reviewed once. That means it isn't likely she was on any queue in the hot sun. Instead of thinking about how to do pre-emptive medical checkups once in a while to ensure you are not caught unawares by hidden ailments, some borderline racists here are blaming the embassy.

huh? 1993?
nah, its definately 1994, same year the co-founder of sony and inovator of the failed betamax------Akio Morita DIED.
always give right information and don't try to impress all the time.

playstation 1, december 1994
playstation 2, march 2000
playstation portable, december2003
playstation 3, november 2006.

Lol
1993 came off the top of my head. You had to do research and make a whole post just to dispute 1 year accuracy?
Pathetic.

kosovo:
texazzpete,

the console logo should be used. reason being that we are talking about consoles and not the entire company's product.
hope we got an understanding on that.

Then if we're talking about consoles, this has to be the most unfair poll ever. Do we have an understanding on that?

vowiski:
pretty sure you don't know what you are saying.
ff is not getting a simuteneous world wide release.
cofirm your claims first,
infact it would be comming in multiple disc for the 360.

LOL,
MGS4, not a system seller? i can now see your level of ingnorance. keep it up.
GTA4 MOVED only about 300k ps3 consoles in first month.
and MGS4 moved over 400k console in first month also, and you open your mouth to say its not a system seller.
keep talking,

FF13 will come out on the 360 and the PS3 at exactly the same time in regions outside Japan. Check your information again.
There's no indication if FF13 will come in multiple discs on the 360. Square Enix made no mention of that.
Stop believing the propaganda Sony spews out. There's nothing evil about multiple discs. In fact, many people would prefer multiple discs to the installation to hard drive times on the PS3. For example, between each act inMGS4, there are install times.

I said MGS 4 was not a MAJOR system seller. I wonder how you missed that word? Major system seller would be something like Monster Hunter for PSP, which sold millions of copies in Japan, and turnd the PSP from selling 15000+ weekly, to outselling the Nintendo DS and the Wii for over 2 months now (55K + weekly sales of PSP hardware).

Can you consider investing the time to take good photos of the car? The exterior shots are uninspiring. Use a decent digital camera and get some more impressive photos.

otesy:
Hi Nairalanders. The Nigerian Police have become a serious embarassment to us Nigerians(my opinion, yours may differ). I stand corrected but their salaries have since been improved but their attitude seems to remain the same. they see their uniform as a tool with which to harrass innocents Nigerians on the streets. Imagine a police man at a check point ordeing you to open your hand bag for a stop and search. As if that wasn't enough, he then asked for the wallet which was in the bag to also be opened for him to view its contents. This is no joke, I am dead serious. i couldn't beleive my ears. Was a wallet resembling mine reported missing or was it just a show/abuse of power as a result of the uniform he was wearing? Personally, i think it's a groos abuse of fundamental human rights to ones privacy. Very soon they'll ask for one to strip so they can search, Bloody fools, all they know how to do is collect N20 on the streets of Nigeria when crime is multiplying and no one even bothers to try to solve these crimes. What do we do to reform the police force and restore it's dignity. I don't know about you but I don't have any iota of respect for these people. Please air your views,

Wallet checks are used by police in the hope of catching 419 guys. They hope to see foreign currency in there, hence the check.
You probably look suspicious, that's why they checked you. You may wanna stop wearing those big collar shirts


And if you think the Pay increase for the police still is adequate, you gotta be naive.
Tell me, have any of you complaining ever contributed money to widows of slain policemen? Paid solidarity visits to such families?
Does your church collect money for that same purpose?
The Policemen can have no reasonable savings and retirement plan with their current income, so they resort to such antics to get by. Not condoning them, but i understand.

vowiski:
lol,
i knew that was going to happen, seeing the delay and lack of info from sony and square unlike MGS4.
we saw it HAppen to GTA4 AND DMC4. and there was no significant impact
don't forget: they will complete ps3 ffXiii on ps3 before porting to the 360.

MS also had timed exclusive for alone in the dark, which scored 3-4.5 in most review.
microsoft has lost the whole concept.

I wount be be getting ffxiii either because m not a fan and i ve not played any.
like around 70% of ff sales are in japan. 360 version not coming to japan.

its timed exclusive to ps3 for almost a year.

FF vs. 13 is still exclusive and it completes the franchise.

sony has a small share in square enix.

these are the reasons why it will not hurt sony that much, it will still move ps3's (maybe not as many) but not that much less than it would have if it were still exclusive. i don't think the 360 version will sell as much copys as the ps3 version.

HOPE you saw HOW PS3 OUTSOLD 360 BY ALMOST 200K CONSOLES, FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. lol
MGS4 TOPED THE CHART WITH OVER 700K COPIES SOLD.
GO! PS FANS
PS ROCKS
PLAYB3YOUND

As usual, your information is flawed.
FF13 is an exclusive in Japan only. The US and Europe versions will release at the same time for the 360 and the PS3.
MGS4 didn't sell as many copies as Halo3, did not even constitute a major system seller for the PS3.

And i think it's pertinent to realise that a great many people are buying the PS3 just as a cheap Bluray player. it actually is one of the cheapest Bluray players on the market now.

igbogolo:
The embassies operating in Nigeria owe us the duty to provide a comfortable environment for visa applicants. I recal with nostalgia the days of the famous american visa era when people come as early as 1am to queue for visa. This is absurd and must be condemned.
I wish her soul eternal rest while i urge both the government and the embassy to do something about this disgraceful conduct.

I'm sorry, but they owe you nothing. The long queues are a testament to the numbers of Nigerians applying at any given time. If they do not call you people for interviews now, you will complain.

What has the embassy got to do with when people start queuing? If interviews start at 8am and people start queuing at 1am, how is that 'disgraceful conduct' on the part of the embassy officials?

Gamine,
Why the Beef? No be only Cotonou you don go?

SeanT21:
I was just posting a General Logo. Anywayz, I am doing a survey. It do not matter if Playstation is owned more than any other system. ITS A SURVEY!!

Surveys should be intelligent. The Playstation has been out since 1993 (15 yrs) . TheXbox since 2001 (7 yrs) and the Wii since 2006 (less than 2 years), yet you're comparing them?
FOr a general logo you should not talk about consoles, but brands. Ie Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.

Finally, edit your survey. Why include 'BOTH' as an option when you're talking about three (3) consoles? Both only refers to TWO items.

While we're at, shouldn't we make pre-marital sex a punishable offense?

Sadly, that'll never fly with these lecherous senators

I agree! Nudity is an offense!

SO we need to shoot all the shirtless Area Boys and labourers in Lagos. All the brick layers etc.

Come to think of it, isn't it sexual harrasment for a guy to wear singlet and torment ladies with his biceps?

They don't come any more self-righteous than Nigerians. . .
