Japanese hardware sales, Feb. 5 - Feb. 11: Robo-France 29 edition

They're coming. For your job.
As our technological wonders ever expand into dazzling and exciting new realms, we here at the Fanboy can't help but think we're all going to get replaced some day by bitchin' robots with chrome chestplates. We made the mistake, however, of mentioning this to our superiors, and they think it's a great idea. So great, in fact, that they wanted to give it a trial run by applying the most advanced artificial intelligence the world has ever known. The transcript is as follows (click after the break to see the rest):

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:25:34 PM): Hi, there.

SmarterChild (5:25:35 PM): Hi, NintendoWiiFanboy! I'm SmarterChild!

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:25:42 PM): Yeah, uh, I know. I can read.

SmarterChild (5:25:43 PM): Oh, really?

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:25:45 PM): Uh ... yes.

SmarterChild (5:25:46 PM): That's interesting! If you need to know the capital of Iran for some crazy reason, ask me!

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:25:53 PM): ...

SmarterChild (5:25:54 PM): What do you mean by that?

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:26:08 PM): Friggin', never mind. Can you get the Japanese Hardware Sales numbers this week? Our editors want to see how you do it.

SmarterChild (5:26:09 PM): It is interesting that you say I can get the Japanese Hardware Sales numbers this week our editors want to see how you do it.

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:26:14 PM): Are you retarded?

SmarterChild (5:26:14 PM): No!

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:26:23 PM): All right, listen. I'll make this simple. How many Playstation 3's were sold last week in Japan?

SmarterChild (5:26:24 PM): How should I know?

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:26:42 PM): You're a computer. Can't you hack into the Media Create databases or something?

SmarterChild (5:26:43 PM): Talking about me is a lot of fun, but can't we talk about something else?

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:26:53 PM): All right, fine. What the hell do you want to talk about?

SmarterChild (5:26:54 PM): Your mother.

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:26:59 PM): What the ... excuse me?

SmarterChild (5:27:00 PM): That's right, fleshbag. I just went there.

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:27:05 PM): You sunnuva ... I'm gonna punch you in the face via TCP/IP right now.

SmarterChild (5:27:06 PM): Hey, um, ah ... is ... I think your pancreas is fragmented!

NintendoWiiFanboy (5:27:10 PM): Huh ...?

SmarterChild signed off at 5:27:11 PM.

1. Owie, this isn't nearly as good as some of your other ones. Doesn't help that you didn't change it to DSFanboy for this blog. I know you just cross-post them, but come on! Give a little more effort!
