As far as I am aware that is Tim Dog (on the right is Phil).
Tim with... I want to say Penello...(?)
This is a good way to pass the time while we wait for some numbers lol.
Thanks.
When the 360 was really beasting it they tried for Japan. Japan is dead now.
They never even tried to wink at us in Europe. Except in England(can't speak for the rest of the UK). They have been losing all other markets since then. I honestly can't see them even trying to change this trend when they never bothered before.
But yeah...they can try. Maybe I'll get a Dalahäst with some Falukorv.

they are, but it's something like xb1 launched with all of the region locking that china wanted, and ps4 was planning not to, and had to delay when china said they needed region locking. now ps4 has some form of region locking, though not as severe as what xb1 had. they patched chinese xb1 to have same level of region locking as ps4 launched with, but by then the damage was done.
originally i think xb1 required one use digital codes with each physical game, you could only buy chinese copies of games, and foreign consoles can't play chinese copies, but now i think they dropped the one use code, and you can import games from other countries to pay on your chinese console, but chinese copies can't be played abroad. don't quote me on that though, not entirely sure.

Iwata would be pleased.
But yeah, hats off to Splatoon. It sold far better than I thought it would. I played it at a friend's over the weekend. It's very fun. Reminds me a bit of Garden Warfare.
Well a userbase is always most active in a consoles early years.
You should read what I wrote again. I have nothing against Phil and you have to be really intent on creating that narrative.
Splatoon will no doubt hit 2 Million worldwide in a few months or so and you're right few could've predicted that. With a potential holiday boost + improved matchmaking I think it could go past 3 Million.
Either way I'm really glad it's having success.
Why do you guys even read his tweets at all? You're just giving him what he wants.

Wow... Also i did not know they let maniacs into E3.

Really? You and others are going to personally insult someone for supporting a product they like?
Man... First hating on Greenberg and now an Xbox Fan.
Splatoon
Iwata would be pleased.
At least Iwata got to see Splatoon's rise. He got to see not only the birth of a new Nintendo IP, but the talents and success of a younger generation of Nintendo developers.

This. I thought he was, at most, a very immature 24-year-old man. I now feel bad for Tim. Thanks, GAF.

Tim isn't so bad, there are far worse than him on Twitter.
I remember when he went crazy over CoD being 720p, he started swearing at Major Nelson and stuff, hilarious.
I don't mind Tim, he's not a bad guy, Greenberg, though... Yeah, don't get me started.

While it had unfortunate consequences for myself, I am still happy about how well Splatoon did.
No, we're taking shots at someone who has been one of the most toxic and prolific fanboys this corner of the internet. Get your shit straght before acting like your some savior of the innocents.
Fair, but it's still impressive.

You guys should reaaally stop with the timdog stuff.

I'm telling you. They more than likely hook him up with free swag (no proof obviously other than his twitter account looks more like official XBox marketing than Major Nelson's). Do not underestimate the power of free shit to have one act almost parodic to the deep end of brand promoting.
Reminds me when Boogie (for the record he is a class act when not acting PC Master Race), was super hard on MSFT when these systems were about to launch. Major Nelson shows up to his house with an XBox, and that was one of the fastest 180° that would give you whiplash. Ironic really, lol.
That's exactly my reaction.

But what if it meant more Vita support? Think about it. Your baggy of oil can help save the Vita. Sadly I can't find a gif of the Futurama clip I'm thinking of.

What's this about Arkham being the best selling game of this year at 1.7 mil? I thought witcher sold 4 million?

Lol, same reaction.

No doubt, it surpassed my expectations. I pegged it at 1.4 million top end in my prediction. I wasn't far off at all really, since it was slightly over 1.5. Damn close actually, but I did say I though it would do a little under AC. So congrats WB and Rocksteady certainly an impressive performance.

Witcher 3 didn't sell 4 million in the US, which is what this NPD report is about.
I kind of see that as lowering to his level, but, I guess it sometimes yields entertaining results.
Probably NA vs worldwide.
I feel bad now knowing that he's a full-on adult. Before we were just taking the piss when at least some of us thought we were dealing with someone in the 16-24 range.

That was worldwide, this is a NPD thread so Batman's numbers mentioned here are for the US market (although NPD covers more than that territory).

It just comes across as pathetic. If he is so bad why roll in the mud with him.
Good results all around, nothing unexpected.
I also think that posting all these pictures of the guy isn't making us any better than him.
The sad thing is that most of those fanboys and Twitter warriors are grown ass men with a family, they should know better..

Greenberg is hilarious though, his tweets are a sight to behold. I hope the man never stops with his PR, it's just too good.

Mud is good for the skin.
Witcher didn't sell 4 million in the US alone.

TOXIC? Really? Toxic?
You can dislike a fanboy but as long as he doesn't insult you or the stuff you like how does he become toxic if he's not infecting your community.
If you don't like him, ignore him.
Boogie's turn-around was not disingenuous, though. He looked like he really enjoyed the system after he got to see its good side, and he wasn't just saying it that way because Larry was there on camera.

A robust Splatoon 2 should be a factor if it can release early in the life of the NX.
He would not infrequently refer to the "Ponies" on "NeoFAG." So yeah, he's toxic because he would lurk every thread and every piece of news and then tweet it out to his minions. He's gotten better recently, but that's probably just the bliss of retirement kicking in.
It was always done tongue in cheek. Get off your high horse.
No that's Tim Dog. His twitter feed is full of pics with him and Phil, Greenberg, Major Nelson, etc.
