Video Games Sale Thread #4 - Nintendo stole Christmas
Posts
Depends on how you define major. Last first party release was PH, but recently we've gotten Ace Attorney 3, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, Dragon Quest Monsters Joker, and that's just the stuff off the very top of my head.
Didn't AC outsell Mario? or am I adding all wrong :P
I was creating custom characters on the N64. How can the PS2 not do it?
i think he meant just the 360 version.
So, SMG did have legs.
And then spent a few minutes stretching on at the start line, so it looked like he was giving the competition a chance. Then he blew past them.
pc is separate.
Yep. I was basically predicting one sku of AC to beat galaxy.
overall it did though.
uncharted.
the irony is cringe worthy.
So its not just a clever name :P
bigwah -> NPD
[DS] 1400,000 -> 1,530,000
[Wii] 1200,000 -> 981,000
[360] 700,000 -> 770,000
[PSP] 600,000 -> 567,000
[PS3] 400,000 -> 466,000
I guess I was a wii bit optimistic for the Wii. I was also surprised the Wii/PS2 GH3s are up there, but the 360/PS3 versions have gone absent. Interesting...
"Was cursing, in broken english at his team, and at our team. made fun of dead family members and mentioned he had sex with a dog."
"Hope he dies tbh but a ban would do."
Probably because those models of yours on the N64 were WAY WAY less complicated then the ones in Rock Band. How much RAM can they eat up with customizable avatars and still get away with it running sans stutterers (a necessity in any rhythm game.)? The answer is apparently not enough to add them in.
I mean, I'm sure if they wanted to rewrite large sections of code.
uncharted so low makes me sad.
no word at all of crysis is strange. as in, noone has even pointed it out even though we knew it wouldnt be a top runner.
There is justice in the world
Yes.
Up until about 70% of the way through the game.
Of course, the availability of Rock Band for the 360 might have actually cannibalized GHIII's sales on that platform, whereas Wii and Ps2 owners don't have any other guitar options for Christmas.
So what does that mean for the lifetime of Galaxy? 5 million +? That'd be amazing.
Also someone check my math on page 2 about the DS selling every second and a half t.i.a.
Woah. I didn't realize that at first. That's actually really surprising, especially in light of the whole Mono thing.
Kinda surprising.
Anyway, interesting numbers. DS sold like crazy and yet didn't have any games in the top 10, which is weird. PSP sold less than I thought it would. PS3 versions of COD4 and AC sold a lot better than I thought it would.
Guek: Why do you continue to call Assassin's Creed 'AA'? I've noticed it a couple of times and it still doesn't make any sense. When I think 'AA' I think 'America's Army'.
If they don't want a gimped version of a game, they will.
But then again, that's the center of the entire situation, eh?

Everyone but Wyborn underestimated the power of dual screens.

huh? I have seen commercials for Uncharted way more than any other game. I've seen it a lot on various channels.
Hmm, I don't think it was for me then. It was kinda pretty, but certainly not enough for the 'visual experiance' to carry it. The aiming sensitivity was quiet dodgy, and the combat wasn't great. The animation of your character wasn't fantastic (although having played a little of Assasins Creed has probably upped my expectations from big name action games).
It had some real nice touches (like how clothing reacted to water, very tastey), but certainly not a title to push me over the edge to buying a PS3.
I was probably being over critical since that was the light I was looking at it from - "is this game worth $599lol?" not "Am I enjoying this game?"
He said better, not more frequently
Where are these additional numbers coming from?
Hence: why focus is shifting away from PC, to consoles. The disparity wasn't always this ginormous, was it? A triple A pc game selling a tenth of a triple A console game?
....
That seems pretty terrible to me...
How do these PC games manage to turn a profit? Especially Crysis. I can't imagine the cost that went into that game. Of course the games will continue to sell , but damn, these initial numbers are bad.

I lowballed everything.
pretty sure it was always like this. PC games never sold nearly as much as console games. Granted Crysis seems a bit low considering all the hype and such. Maybe people don't (or think they don't) have the machines to run it well. UT3 has gotten lambasted by a lot of people (PC version at least) for being consolized, plus it is a DM game.
