I never play Boxing. I have a ranking of 500 before I stopped. =[ It's just too much work and too boring to play. It's not even worth playing multiplayer because that's boring as well.

Every other sport is fine.

I find boxing to be pretty fun. Not the best of all the sports but still good. My least favorite is Tennis.

If we are still bashing other consols, then let's go.

Nintendo’s Wii continues to sell at a torrid place, outselling the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 during January. Market research firm NPD Group reports that consumers bought 436,000 Wii, while Xbox 360 sold 294,000 units, followed by PlayStation 3 with 244,000.



Nintendo is crediting much of its success to the broad appeal of Wii compared to machines from Microsoft and Sony. “I do think that we're selling to additional and different customers,” said Perrin Kaplan, VP marketing for Nintendo. “We've had an incredibly healthy start and we think there's going to be a pretty long tail on this product.”



Each console experienced a drop in sales when compared with figures from December 2006. The Wii saw the least decline when compared to its previous month at 604,200, while Xbox 360 saw the biggest decline from its 1.1 million units sold. PlayStation 3 also fell from its 490,700 sold during December.



The PlayStation 2 continues to be a strong seller, likely because of its price point, with 299,000 units—but down from the amazing 1.4 million during the holiday month. The Nintendo DS also loosened its grip, selling 239,000 during January—a steep drop from the 1.6 million during the gift-giving season. PSP also fell to 211,000 from 953,200.

I find it interesting that the PS2 is outselling the PS3. It's a mystery. Nah, it isn't.

What's a Wii Shmup? lol

[Squeek]

Re: The Wii is Here.

The first Wii Shmup has been confirmed and is to be released next month.

"Radio Allergy" is the title. It's a gamecube game, but they're trying to push it onto Wii owners.

$20 on Amazon for a pre-order.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I barely broke 1,000 in Boxing and I'm losing ranks for winning fights already.

Boxing is probably my least favorite event because it's so freakin' hard to land a punch. The punches always go off to the sides and anytime you actually manage to make it go in, they dodge or block or something and come back and hit you once for like 8 bars of health and bam you're dead.

I forgot to mention that If I (or you by now I think) get knocked out once and still win the fight I (or you) lose points. If get to round three or have to be judged I lose points. Also If I lose more than half my health I won't gain any points. Usually I dodge and land a three hit to the face. That takes off over half of there health. Sometimes I've taken off three quarters and knocked out people with one deadly hook to the temple. It's like the knock out button or something.

I also HATE fighting this one black guy. All he ever does is Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook Hook.

Baseball I'm only like 1300 odd. I'm up against this underarm pitcher and she does my head in.

I'm over 2,000 in bowling though. I have to get like 220 or better to get any points.

ps afro - in the baseball game that brought me to pro status, I beat the opposing team 9-0. Not only did they not score, not a single batter got on base.

Re: The Wii is Here.

rofl that's so ridiculous

I hate that about it though. I stomped the opposing team in a game of baseball but ended up losing like 3 points or something. It sucked.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Have it sorted now dude. I don't know how long it will last though as it on and off all the time. I'll PM when it next drives me mad. Thanks in advance!

PS. Sent people a picture of my skill level in boxing hehe. It's like 3004 or something. If I lose one match I lose 300 odd skill points. If I dont win via knockout in the first round I don't get more than 3 odd points lol. If I do, I get 5. Awesome.
