"to rank at No. 190"

Being so close to release that is shocking

Lazarus695773d ago

So pre orders aren't always a good indicator for how well something will sell

Bigpappy5772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

Got to a 360 fanboy article. There is no way anyone see this a positive.

HeroXIV5772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

True, but I hope it is a good indicator for LBP2 because being 11th and more expensive than a normal game? Kudos.

MostJadedGamer5772d ago

Well if people are smart they will buy all the Move parts seperately instead of wasting an extra $10 on a set of crappy mini games.

D4RkNIKON5772d ago

Yeah, I plan to buy it and don't have my pre order in so your logic is fail omega

Because here in the future, we have these things we like to call "Buttons" which turn out to be pretty important to the handful of Millions of people out there who like to enjoy shooters and other games that don't involve a big red ball.

YourCall5772d ago

Serously though, buttons have been around before you were even conceived, lets not try a make it like buttons is something form the future. As a matter of fact, we all know futuristic things will be camera, thermal, and voice controlled.

It's as simple as using sinks in public places, things are getting to where you don't need to touch them. Walk into a store and the door opens automatically. Keep thinking "here in the future" we are using buttons.

MostJadedGamer5772d ago

Well the bundle is a absolute ripoff. Its actually better to buy everything seperate. The bundle doesn't include the PS3 Navigator Controller which is something you really need for the full Move experience.

All you are doing by getting the bundle is paying a extra $10 for some crappy mini games. Its actually cheaper to buy all Move parts seperately. That is why the bundle is a complete joke.

Bundle= $100
Navigator Controller= $30
Total= $130

Move Controller= $50
Eye Camera= $40
Navigator Controller= $30
Total= $120

So it is actually cheaper just to buy everything seperately. This is why the bundle is a total ripoff, and total garbage.

What Sony needs to do is have a $100 bundle which have the Move Controller, Eye Camera, and Navigator Controller.

Briefcase Joe5772d ago

I hit disagree, but I meant to agree. I too would rather have a Navi than the game.

xman065772d ago

the navigator control is optional. you can use your DS3 controller as it is the same thing.

sikbeta5772d ago

"PS3 Navigator Controller which is something you really need for the full Move experience"

NO, the DS3 can replace the Navigator controller

Bundle:
·PS-EYE
·PS Move
·Sports Champions
Total = $100

OPTIONAL -> Navigator Controller = $30
Total = $130

You don't need the Navigator from day 1 in order play games, if the DS3 doesn't feel comfortable to you, then go go buy a Navigator...

jneul5772d ago

your maths sucks ps eye $32.82 + $49.96 + sports champions $39.96 = $122.74 to get what exactly(if you buy separately) you have in the starter pack minus the demos.

Daver5772d ago

@dennis580

and what will you play with your 10$ less package?? idiot

xman065772d ago

how in the hell did i get a disagree for stating a fact?

acky15772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

Move bundle - £44.99
Nav - £24.91
Total = just under £70

Separately,
Move - £29.99
Nav - £24.91
PSEye - £21.99
Total = about £75

idiot(s).

(from amazon.co.uk)

IdleLeeSiuLung5772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

Actually the correct items you will need for the FULL experience (NOTE: FULL EXPERIENCE):

- 2x wands
- 1x navigator (or a DS3 if you want to put up with that)
- 1x ps eye camera

so at a minimum, you will have to spend

2x wands = $50 x 2 = $100
1x camera = $40
1x navigator = $30 (some would argue you don't need this, but if you Sony is selling it, it must be because they don't think the DS3 is a proper solution)

Total bill is $170 for one gamer unless you remove the navigator, which is still $140. want the bundle with the game instead, add $10....

talltony5772d ago

What is 10 bucks for a game to play with your new move controller? Im getting the bundle. Its a obvious choice.

YourCall5772d ago

Are you really that dellusional? You never gave a replacement price point for the game that comes with it. Certainly you can't just discard it and claim to be saving money. I would thing that the game is worth a least 10 bucks. Just because you don't want it doesn't mean that everyone else feels the same way.

It amazes me how some people can ignore the elephant in the room when that don't want to make a point, that's not really a point.

It's up alright, everything is up when you start from zero. Sony is too expensive. It's the supercomputer all over again. Move is the best they say...you will want to work harder to buy the $399 bundle with one controller, $499 with another controller and a game you WANT to play...lol. Look out everyone hot seller coming. Gee Sony can I buy one of your $4000 3D bundles and, and throw in a couple extra glasses at $150 a pop. Sony, we care about families and money...just not in that order.

mrv3215772d ago

To buy a 3D TV is like $1500 that's cheaper than HD TV's for the same size when they launch.

NEW TECHNOLOGY COSTS MONEY... it drops in price also. Speaking of which I just bought a 360 hard drive for $200 I hope it works with the SLIM... oh wait no :p I have to buy a new one.

madpuppy5772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

and I really don't know how you did it. but, how did you get your 360 Mii avatar to look so smug and smarmy?

The only avatar that looks more smarmy has got to be the Arnold J. Rimmer one from that lunatic 360 fanboy "Bungie"

This Bundle is an incredible, Already reordered one.

MostJadedGamer5772d ago

Read my post above. The bundle is a complete, and total ripoff. Its cheaper just to buy everything seperately. All the bundle is; is you paying a extra $10 for a set of crappy mini games.

xman065772d ago

just stop please.

Move Controller= $50
Eye Camera= $40
Sports Champion= $40
Total for Bundle= $100

or buy them separate

Move Controller= $50
Eye Camera= $40
Sports Champion= $40
Total= $130

or the way you would purchase it

Move Controller= $50
Eye Camera= $40
Navigator Controller= $30 / optional
Total= $120 or $90

read up on a product first before posting nonsense. a navi control is not needed for the full Move experience.

Mr Tretton5772d ago

dennis, get a life nerd. you're not changing the world.

aviator1895773d ago

These are the worst articles to submit on this website besides flame-bait posts. These sales ranks change every hour.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle29d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7729d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7737d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga37d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199237d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga37d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman36d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger37d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box37d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion36d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7237d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7537d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit37d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14937d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7737d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
