@ Straight
Have you played the game for yourself? You don't even have a Vita let alone a PS3, so please stop trying to tell people what and what the shouldn't buy with their money. What's even funnier is last week you were doing what you accuse people here of doing when those unfavourable reviews came out for Halo 4 and people were thinking (probably joking) about passing. Man, you guys crack me up.
Lol, at Canary getting disagrees for saying that CoD hasn't improved (It's true). I think the Xbox enthusiasts want you to blame Sony and the dev team (Don't you dare speak of Activision). On topic, I'm still picking up this game. After the reviewers told me that Assassin Creed Vita game sucked and after seeing how it didn't after playing it for myself, I'm going with the gamers who have the game on the forums and off of what I'm feeling about it.
@ rpd
Where'd you hear that? People are raving about the MP on neogaf (of all places), IGN and gamespot. I'm gonna go with my gut and the large amount of people who played this game and said it isn't as worse if not better than the Resistance game and purchase it. This situation reminds me of Mass Effect 3 and the split between gamers and the critics.
Edit: Ok, after seeing the Assassin Creed reviews, I'm sure every game released on the Vita ...
@ Chazjamie
Funny, ESPECIALLY after taking in how many people were upset when unfavorable Halo 4 reviews came out here recently. Plenty were complaining that the reviews were wrong, the critics were stupid and that anybody who agreed with the reviews were trolls or fanboys. Guess that was different, huh?
If someone doesn't agree with a review let them share their opinions.
Yeah, and the numbers are down by 31.3 percent (compared to last year). Really thought the price cut would boost sales but I guess it didn't as I now see.
Edit: According to neogaf...
"I guess that puts the PS3's minimum at 160k, 3DS' minimum at 200k, and the Wii's maximum at under 64k since October was 4 weeks while September was 5.
Xbox 360: 270K
3DS: 240K
PS3: 200K
NDS: 130K
Wii: 80K <...
Wow, that guy really didn't like this game. I enjoyed it somewhat and I do admit, it has it's up and down, but 20/100 is a bit harsh.
Edit: Woah, it's on metacritic as well.
"Hardware home console sales week on week are up across the board. PlayStation 3 sales are up 37,713 (17%) to 254,031 units sold. Xbox 360 sales are up 54,169 (30%) to 234,727 units sold. The Wii sold 63,698 units, which is up 14,310 (29%).
Handheld sales are up for the DS, 3DS and Vita, and down for the PSP. "
Nice, looks like everything got a nice boost. Good to see the Playstation 3 leading the pack WW this year.
Playstation All Stars is all I'll ever need. Can't wait for that game. Spent so many hours on the beta.
@ nuke
And even then....
Straight mathematics for you
PS3 best selling console 2011 (despite MS claims even after the fact of knowing that Sony didn't release it numbers yet lol).

@ BitbyDeath
Sweet post. According to neogaf...
"PS3 has been reliably selling 75+% of combined ps2/ps3 sales over the past year (over 85% during the holidays last year), and obviously going forward the ps3 will only increase that share as the ps2 slowly dies off. So using 75% as a minimum baseline, we get the following picture:
63.9 + .75*2.8 +.75*3.5 = ~68.6 million units sold globally after this quarter at a minimum.
...
Another good score (8/10). Can't wait to play this game.
The review being summed up as "more Halo" is kind of disappointing, I was hoping for things to be shaken up a bit more than it was indicated in the review. I'm interested to try it for myself, as I do still dig Halo, but seeing an opportunity to introduce some freshness into the campaign is admittedly disheartening.
I was pretty much expecting this score from CVG to be honest and I'm more than likely going to love Halo 4. The news of smaller levels is a bit of a worry though (linear)... we'll see. Hopefully I should have this from Shopto on Monday, crank up the difficulty to legendary, pull out the phone line, get some McCoy's and pizza and prepare for the return of the Chief. Can. Not. Wait.
Disappointed to hear about the music not coming off as fitting, and the handling of the levels and characters, but it sounds very nice overall, and the Spartans Ops looks like barrels of fun with my friends.
Sounds like they tried to play it safe rather than try to put their own mark on the Halo franchise, which is still cool by me. I'm still looking forward to playing this game.
Only 7 hours? I though 343 said that it was 12 hours on normal? Doesn't really break it for me though, I mean, Halo's multiplayer is arguably one of the best out there. Gonna get my hours out of that.
Wow, these reviews have really been mixed as far as complaints and praises go. Overall, the product seems to be good though. Can't wait to play it.
I'm going with the Ps3 version since it gets DLC before the Ps3 version. I win, end of!
So just because I'm getting NFS over Forza, it somehow means that I don't own a 360? So I'm only allowed to buy and support first party exclusives from MS, huh lol? Man, this gen is the worse.
@ Gordan
Yeah, and we all have opinions too. You should be ashamed of yourself for telling people what to do with their money as well since you don't even own a Vita lol (Told everyone in the forum that thd Vita is dead and you're glad you don't own one. Remember?). You Xbox enthusiasts are something else. XD
Edit: I'm the dumba**? Having a Ps3 doesn't means you have a Vita. LMAO, Americans.
You get a F for effort.
