Seems like a surefire disaster for consumer confidence if Nintendo actually pulled the Wii U from the market.
This however, does not. See, I was thinking the smaller set of numbers would have the smaller section, like this.....
Because I didn't know if you were serious or not. It's logical to go from the smallest one to the biggest one: second -> minute -> hour/day -> month -> year/1 -> 10 -> 100. Isn't it very logical? =)
There's no reason to pull it from the market.
Nintendo has enough money to ride it out until there's no more demand for it, so the product dies by itself...also they have still a few games to promote like MK and DK.
That's why the number 1234 means four thousand, three hundred and twenty one. It's logical to go from the smallest to the largest when reading left to right.
I can only speak for myself, but yeah. I'd say today was the 24th of January.If I verbally asked a European person what day it was, would they actually say "it's the 24th of January" as opposed to "January 24th"?

The pyramid analogy makes no sense. You don't build a pyramid from the top down, so if days are the top of the period, why would you start with days in a date? You build a pyramid from the base up. If you want to defend D-M-Y, you can't use a pyramid to do it.
Y-M-D is the format that makes the most sense, because dates are always numerically increasing which makes arithmetic possible. That's why computer dates are handled that way (when they're not handled as integer number-of-seconds-in-Unix-epoch). Of course North America doesn't use Y-M-D, so I guess we're both wrong.
But given that in regular conversation year is not significant in many cases (ie when I say "I'm going to the mall on Sunday", I don't need to tell you which Sunday, you just assume it's the chronologically next Sunday--so when I say "I'm going to Jamaica on February 18th", I don't need to say of what year), then we leave the year blank because it's a given, and we only say the Month-Day portion!

Like you said: Wii U sales at 1 and 1.8% is just wow.
5. Batman: Arkham Origins (360, PS3, Wii U, PC) - <650,000 (PS3 + 360 = 98.2%, Wii U = 1.8%)
6. Assassins Creed IV, Black Flag (360, PS3, Wii U) - <630,000 (Wii U = 1%)
I figured it out.
It was probably cancelled, then they saw how popular this topic was, then uncancelled it.

yeah, I read the article, son... and I worked in business journalism for a while.
you can see that there are two "sources" of Ubisoft... one properly identified with name and position, even with a proper quote, with the specific event and date when it happeed...
and the other is a vague quote from a nameless "Ubisoft spokeperson".
I'm not saying that that's EXACTLY what happened, but I'm just saying it's bad journalism and there are reasons to be skeptical about the story.
I guess it would depend on the European to be honest. They might even say: "Jest dwudziesty czwarty stycznia."

A high of 2 Monday. I feel like I'm going crazy.How about that weather, eh? I don't know if it's just me or not, but I can't wait for Spring.
Wibbly wobbly timey wimey?it's about time , how confusing time can get around the world and how ubisoft is not using time properly.

Given Ubisoft's dev cycles I can believe it.The release date for Watch Dogs is currently wrong. They have 28.02, but they meant to put 2802, 788 years into the future.

And the ride continues. Just another month.
Wait, in the pyramids, why is the month section larger than the day section?
Because a Month is a "pack" of days. And a year is a "pack" of months.
1 Day ---> 24h
1 month--->30-31 days
1 year -----> 12 months.

Well, I'd probably just say 'it's the 24th', but you get the idea.

Wait, so Americans would actually say 'It's January 24th' instead of (the correct) 'It's the 24th of January.'?

As for Watch Dogs, I've read the thread and I have absolutely no fucking idea what the story is with it right now. 50/50 call in my head right now as to whether it's cancelled or not.
We measure everything in Leagues!Up next: Metric system vs imperial system
Wait, so Americans would actually say 'It's January 24th' instead of (the correct) 'It's the 24th of January.'? Get the fuck outta here. That's blatantly wrong. I'm surprised any of you ever show up for anything on time, or that your airline industry functions at all.
So, I schedule an interview with you on January 24th -- and let me stress that I'm saying January 24th, not 1/24 (not that that would be confusing either). What day are you showing up for the interview?

I'd say the "it's the 24th", why would I have to tell you the month?
January 1st, 24 years from now.
