It's amazing how far special effects have come :-)
Excellent article - well written and totally unbiased - a rare thing to find these days!
Huh? How many people don't pick up their preorders in the first 2-3 days?
Are you guys still talking about Killzone 2 preorders?
Man, some people are dumb.
Killzone 2 had 1 million RETAILER preorders - i.e retailers ordered 1 million copies of the game initially. Since it sold 700k week one this is perfectly in line with most games - retailers don't want to order too many but they don't want sellouts either (or they lose business).
These figures are CONSUMER preorders - i.e a consumer goes into a store and places money on the ...
@Cwalat - why reply to a post about Modern Warfare if you were talking about Uncharted 2??
But what you've said is true - Uncharted 1 was much bigger in Europe than America so I'm sure European preorders are strong as well
Well the first Modern Warfare was huge in Europe as well so I don't see how it would be much different really...
Well don't forget that PS3's strongest market is Europe - the game could do nearly 1 million copies worldwide in the first week...
Actually price cuts tend to see flatter, more sustained "spikes" rather than just a large spike on the first day - that is more typical of a new product. With price cuts it takes time for everyone to become aware that the price has dropped
Definitely not a suprise to see it at the top, but I doubt anybody expected to see it so far ahead of everything else!!
No this is an NPD preview from VGChartz. Actual NPD is out on Thursday
1 week of price cut sales for Wii vs 5 weeks of PS3 slim sales
Well as it explains, last week saw 4 days of price cut vs a full 7 this week, also PS3 has been on a downward trend for the last 5 weeks and with no big software releases this week will only fall further. Doesn't seem that irrational to me?
I can't wait for this game!!
PSP Go actually performed better than I was thinking - not bad at all
I can't see PES 2010 coming close to these sales
Well, despite Microsoft trying with timed exclusives like Tales of Vesperia, they just don't have the games to appeal to the Japanese audience...
Especially from a remake - Pokemon is like a licence to print money!
Who said they're only from Amazon?
For a start, who said it's just one guy?
Secondly, NPD is a large company but they cover many industries - the videogame team is probably made up of 5-10 people at most.
Thirdly, who said that NPD don't track preorder numbers?
Low sales for both though this week, kinda disappointing
