Vinnk's Marriage weekly report, Yes!
And Best wishes.

 

[Vinnk]

For Forza, of the stores that had ordered some, had they sold some, or did they only order 2-5?

It’s really hard to tell. I know wanpaku sold at least 2 because they were set-aside for someone. I am guessing that it’s selling, just that it’s not selling out.

this is my first post to wish the best of luck to Vinnk.
Hope that doesn't mean no more "Vinnk's Village"!

I’ll keep doing it. Actually since she works at Jusco, perhaps I can get her to help me with it.

I want a "Vinks Honeymoon" report, please.

Good luck.

I think there will be an embargo on that information for a while.

Now someone will be supply constrained!

That’s what happens when you are high demand.

Hope she accept. 2 and a half year is long enough to know whether she is the right one for you or not.

Be prepared to have your game time allocation drastically decreased once you got married (and even more when you have children). Been there, done that.

I must say being on GAF has cut down my playing time more than anything else. As for her she is not a gamer but is kinda becoming one. She is the definition of a lapsed gamer. She played the Famicom with her brother and nothing since then until I bought her a DS. Now she has 7 DS games of her own and will sometimes play Wii sports at my house.

But yeah I am prepared to trade a lot of my gaming time for other things. I think it is a fair trade.

Good luck dooderz. Just a tip, you'll completely forget most of any speech if you try and remember one. I just went through the same thing about a month ago. If you do have a speech in your head and you forget, just go with what's in your heart, tell her you love her and ask. I spent about 15 minutes stumbling over my thoughts after my mind went completely blank. Back on topic: I predict next week's thread will show that the number of Gaffers engaged will have increased 50%.

Good advice. And yeah, I decided to keep the memorized speaking to a minimum.

In 50 years, she'll call you "Old Faithful".

I just hope I won't be as dusty...

9. Tonight at dinner, I am going to ask my girlfriend of two and a half years, to be my wife. Wish me luck.

Is she now going to get the nickname "Ol Reliable"?

Hey guys, If Vinnk gets married i say we all start posting and starting threads on PS3Forums about the state of the PS3. Then we all post the results. It'll be the opposite of a meltdown. Things will be so awesome and hilarious, it'll be a melt-up.

So close. Well, next week for sure it'll break 17.17m and pass SFC.

 

[Eteric Rice]

Damn it...

WE SHALL MEET AGAIN PS3! :lol

 

[Odysseus]

a bit surprising, given the slip for wii sports/play.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Barring a further dropoff, the PS3 should pass 900k next week, just short of June.

 

[imastalker co.]

who still thinks all next gen systems won't have "waggle" as the standard controller?

 

[donny2112]

From a grapher's standpoint, I really want to see those 360 and PS3 lines cross.

Where's the 2.5 million DSs per month going? That should mean ~800K per month or ~200K per week to Japan. :/

 

[AniHawk]

HEY KIDS, PS3 WILL HIT 900K NEXT WEEK.

 

[mj1108]

Barring a further dropoff, the PS3 should pass 900k next week, just short of June.

And sadly, I'm sure they would find some positive way to spin it.

Stockpiling for DQIX later this year?

 

[alejob]

Wii to PS3 ratio = 6:1

Everything is down except GBA.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Hardware

seems the same as last week

 

[Xeke]

bah, disappointment. Nothing major.

What were you expecting...?

 

[Holy Order Sol]

PS3 - 8,659

HAY VEGETA

 

[AniHawk]

It's pretty funny seeing the PS3 and 360 a mere 530k units apart.

 

[Xavien]

What were you expecting...?

The PS3 to drop into the 7000's. Maybe a drop on the Wii based on the lower Wii Sports sales this week. You gotta admit, its a pretty boring week.

 

[Fuzzy]

That's why I chose this week to propose. Gotta spice up these MC threads somehow. Just don't expect it every week.

How romantic. Be sure to tell her that's why you chose this week.

Anything can happen. It's on a ten year plan!

 

[SonSon2]

I think that motion control will be a standard, but it will be an offshoot of the current Wii controller. I think the 2 handed approach will stay because that is more comfortable regardless. I wouldn't be surprised if the next controllers resembled two nunchucks with more buttons on them for Microsoft and Sony.

 

[KINGMOKU]

anyone?

Honestly? I think next-gen is going to be the most interesting generation ever.

Nintendo came out of nowhere. You could see Microsoft, and Sony try and do the same thing, capture the populations imagination, and come out with really different and exciting stuff.

Holograms, VR, you name it. Next gen will NOT be like this gen.

Waggle will be standard, but it will evlove. I expect a more glove-like apparatus in the future as games continue thier enevitible push towords VR.

 

[Fuzzy]

I'm on a 10-year plan also. Live while you can...

 

[Xeke]

It's a shame the world ends in 2012.

 

[Pachael]

Good luck Vinnk on the proposal - fingers crossed!

As for hardware - well those Famitsu numbers are a bit off. Anyhow it's the second week in a row PS3 < 10K! But it's boring. I say it's not, but nobody's really interested anymore ;p

 

[TJ Spyke]

Other than the DS (which is a monster), low sales this week (same with the software).

What are the LTD sales for the Game Boy and Game Boy Color in Japan (seperate, not combined)? I want to know if the DS has become Nintendo's best selling handheld in Japan yet (I know it hasn't worldwide, the DS is at about 40 million while the GBA is over 70 million).
