not that far from 1 million pre-orders then

Kanzes5162d ago

It's 5 May 2012 pre-orders chart. From what I heard, Diablo III now already passed 1,1 million pre-orders which is a new record for Blizzard

They say it's because PS3 owners have sooooo many exclusives to choose from. . .all the ps3 games I see above Starhawk are multiplats. . .

fermcr5162d ago (Edited 5162d ago )

There is a problem with your statement. You say that PS3 owners have sooooo many exclusives to choose from, and yet PS3 players are buying multi-platform games instead of the exclusives.

If you take a look of the exclusives this year, the best ones are all downloadable games. Journey for PS3. Fez, Trials Evolution, Sine Mora, Alan Wake's American Nightmare (time exclusive) for X360.

I can honestly say that this year so far i cant find a PS3/X360 disc (reatil) exclusive that i was really, really interested. As for the rest of the year maybe Halo and Last of US for the end of this year.

Simply put, the best disc (retail) games on both consoles are multiplatform games, with a few exceptions. Sony's exclusives have being decreasing in quality every year.

Since i'm more of a single player gamer then a a multiplayer gamer, i'm really not that interested in Starhawk, witch probably is a good game, just not for me.

AusRogo5162d ago

Haha you strike again! Get off ms or nintendos or whoevers dick your riding. Starhawk is a multiplayer game first, single player second. So obviously it wont cater to everyones needs. But the people who have it greatly enjoy it, so flop or not, its still a great game.

Outside_ofthe_Box5161d ago (Edited 5161d ago )

First off, Starhawk isn't being marketed.

Second, PS3 owners are not obligated to buy exclusives. I don't understand why people think this is the case. People buy what they want to buy end of. They don't have to buy a game on the day of it's release.

Totoro175162d ago

Starhawk is such an incredible game...it guts me to hear that it's not doing well. Play for 15 minutes...once you get the hang of building and flying and pouncing as giant robots...it's superb!

annus5162d ago

OmG pC GaMiNg Is dEaD!!!!!!111!!!!

Play2Win5162d ago

PC is back like never before. Console only owners crying every night.

ShaunCameron5161d ago

Not really. The PC is still an afterthought in the industry.

NeoTribe5161d ago

Truth is console only owners could care less about pc, and for good reason. There's really nothin worth getting a pc for unless ur a graphics whore. The only reason I bought one is because my favorite game of all time happens to be diablo. Most people have no clue wut diablo even is. Consoles may be getting that game aswell.

A-Glorious-Dawn5162d ago (Edited 5162d ago )

Personally, right now, my #1 anticipated game is for PC.

It's like this

1.Mechwarrior http://www.youtube.com/watc...

2.Starhawk http://www.youtube.com/watc...

3.Hawken http://www.youtube.com/watc...

4.Last Of Us (no gameplay yet but is eagerly anticipated by me)

Edit: actually I could exchange Hawken for Dragons Dogma or Diablo3. arrgh! too many good games, lists like this are hard

Edit2: no actually I really like the look of Hawken it remains on my prestigious list

Siren305162d ago (Edited 5162d ago )

Wow 1 game every couple years makes it to the top yeah pc is really back. Halo 4 will pass those preorders before it comes out

annus5162d ago

PC gaming never went away, just because everyone doesn't all flock to one game to ramp up the sales and then stop playing it the next week doesn't mean it's dead. Join any popular game from the last 10-15 years and the community are still all alive and running, can't say the same for many games on console for even the last 2 years of being released.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio61d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing61d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9261d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit61d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing61d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9261d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
