* The professionals expect Wii sales at least 100K lower than what the gang here expects. * Nail finally going into the coffin of the PS2? Seems everyone agrees.
word on the vine is that mass effect 2 did crazy well. wasn't it something like 2 mil day one or something along those lines?
Also, Ninja Snarl P: If you can't see the condescension in your original post, whatever, Like I said, I don't think you meant to be offensive, or that I'd even go as far to say you offended me with your comments, just that they were short sighted and anecdotal. Also, the verb "is" in your original post does not imply a generalization, and generalizations as a whole are usually unrepresentative of how things actually are.

Microsoft has been advertising the shit out of ME2 and Space Marines are teh hot right now, so I'm not surprised it's doing well.
Gah, I'm really regretting making myself play through ME1 before firing up 2, but I'm too determined and sucked into the universe to back out now.
You haven't finished? ME1 is hella awesome. Just ignore the sidequests and uncharted worlds and blow through the main story; you can do the whole game in maybe 12-14 hours, and you get better gear on the main planets anyway. I'm actually midway through my third playthrough, just because I can't afford to buy ME2. :?
So now that Telltale's catalog will soon be available on the Mac I don't know what the hell to do. I have half of the Strong Bad Series and Sam & Max Season One on my Wii...do I continue there or switchover to the Mac now?

Rargh.
If the picture and audio quality difference is anything akin to what the XBLA or PC versions are, go Mac all the way. I'm still going through Sam & Max 1 on Wii, but when I go over to Season 2 I'm definitely going XBLA because of the muffly audio.

Oh, this is my second playthrough and I'm doing my best to ignore the side stuff. I'm hoping to do just enough to push the level 50 Shepard I started with to 60.
I'm loving going back through all the descriptions of alien cultures and such again. Such a fine, fine game world.

I just wish I had known they were doing this a month ago when I decided to buy S&M from their online store for the Wii.
edit: I mean, I fucking hate fanboyism and taking sides, but really...Nintendo and Sony need to get their shit together in terms of having supply to meet demand.

Ah, I thought so. :P I'm running up to Level 60 too, though it's really just to kill time while waiting for ME2. I thought I had heard somewhere that you need the endgame auto-save in order to import into ME2, so I'm pushing through with my full-renegade Shepard to make sure Space Bitch is ready to launch. (You see what the title changes do to me? I keep blabbing about ME.)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we have both the Wii AND the PS3 with shortages in January?
Yeah, but if 360 beat the Wii, we'd have heard about it the second MS knew about it. Or are you just explaining why the PS3 didn't beat the 360 and why Iwata hasn't been seen lighting cubans with $1,000 bills?
I must be one of those few rare people that just doesn't give a crap about Mass Effect, I tried the first game but got bored silly by it. Odd since I do love Dragon Age but to me both games are completely different even if I love each genre they take place within. While I'll buy the expansion for DA I couldn't care less about ME2 or anything else about it.

Oh, I'm sure the Wii beat the 360, and there's a decent chance the 360 would still beat the PS3 without shortages. But if the PS3 got significantly hobbled, we could see a more significant gap between the two. Ah well, the speculation will end in seven minutes or so.
And that reminds me Lunker, I still need to do a jerkass Shepard ME run one of these days. I just couldn't bring myself to kill Wrex the first time... he's too much fun.
Edit: XoB, you're full of hate for lots of things.

Iwata is too busy eating his caviar and gold pizza to smoke his cigar.

Whoa ME2 came in a little low of expectations. (SimExchange: 729k, Cowen's: 825k, VGChartz: 693k)
Not that that's bad, 600k in a month is excellent.
edit: lulz at VGChartz saying Darksiders did 321k on 360 and 212k on PS3. Whoops! It's too bad Darksiders had to suffer in order to further embarrass VGC.
Well done Captain Obvious, I didn't say they wouldn't. In the last thread some people said they waited for the GOTY-esque edition so they could get all their content on the disc, I was telling them they'd just get DLC codes with the 360 version.
Then why would you recommend not buying it?
Why would they port Agito to the 360?
Oh I know, that was just my way of sighing at his terrible trolling attempt. I didn't call him Captain Obvious for nothin'.
Regardless of whether it's a possibility or not, "I'm waiting for [x system exclusive] to be announced for [y system]" is pretty blatant trolling.
As for whether it will, Nomura's insisted that it's PS3 exclusive worldwide (even throwing that phrase in his trailers) but yeah, I agree that it could end up getting ported. Exclusivity debates are as stupid and pointless as ever though, unless we're joking about obvious stuff like Ubisoft porting Splinter Cell to every system under the sun when their deal with Microsoft runs out.
Terrible troll attempt? My statement about Versus wasn't even a reply to you, you silly goose. FFXIII being ported to the 360 wasn't a big surprise. Assuming Versus XIII will be on the 360 isn't a stretch of the imagination, nor am I trolling your precious Sony sensibilities.

It's got a sequel coming, regardless.

They sold/shipped (can't remember which) 2 million worldwide by less than a week after the US releasedate, I believe. That is really good.

Don't worry, Natel and Arc will bring the casuals to the rescue for the 360 and PS3!!!
And you don't even have to tape two systems together for it!
I totally expected it to beat out Darksiders as well.
I guess that big ass number SEGA were championing came from Europe and Japanland.
