I prefer the special edition case to the steelbook even though the disk doesn't seem as well as it would be in the steelbook.
EA didn't say they sold 10 million, they said they shipped 10 million, they sold 5 million in the first week which will be roughly under half of the shipment once you take into account digital sales.
It would get through the 10 million that they shipped sometime next year probably.
Like you said though, it can't touch COD though. The install base of every console that COD is releaed on has had a year to grow from when black ops was released and that ...
I won't say it doesn't matter. Remember Don mattrick saying the 360 would be the best selling console this year around E3.
Profit is more important than sales but they do care about sales.
I do agree with your last point though. The competition is so good that almost 6 years in this current gen we are still seeing impressive sales. The 360 had it's best sales during the last Financial Year, 5 years into the console's life. The PS3 also has go...
It depends on the holidays.
Sony and MS both shipped 6.3 Million PS3's and 360's in the holidays last year but then in the following quarter MS shipped 2.7 360's against 2.1 PS3's due to the momentum gained from kinect over the holidays.
I don't expect the kinect to be as strong as it was last year. If MS don't match their shipment of 6.3 million from last year then I can see PS3 overtaking it around june next year.

Great sales.
Localisation confirmed?
I hardly use manuals. Most games have tutorials in the beginning. It's only fighting games where i have to spend some time with a manual.
I can see them i just expected them to be more since the previous games are million plus sellers.
However i checked first 10 week sales for the first dance central and it did 125K in its first week then 205K in it's eigth week.
It seems kinect games are not front loaded and they do well weeks after they come out.
Also what's move got to do with the analysis?
My point is that the wii-mote is the default controller. It's the controller you get when you buy the console. That is what you're going to play most of your games with.
Yes, the move works well in fps but If the move wasn't released it would not have been a problem becasue they have the dualshock 3. That's the default controller and is the controller that the majority of gamers use for fps on the PS3.
Also just because the move is good for fp...
They are both reasons for piracy.
I've been following the recent news about how some people got Uncharted 3 and Battlefield 3 playable on PS3's with CFW even though they're buggy.
For example in Uncharted 3, the game freezes when the journal gets opened and it freezes at chapter 11 i think and so what people are doing is getting other people's saved file to carry on the game past that point missing a puzzle in the process.
T...
PS3 is a doing well. 170K before Uncharted even though i think some countries got it early.
Them GT5 legs, another 25K in EU and 11K in NA.
Also Kinect games seem to do better in their 2nd week than first. They probably will do decent numbers with a good marketing push in the holidays.
Something to talk about before Sony releases their figures tommorow.
Yes
I'm already going to get UMVC3 and SFxT for the Vita. I would love fighting games to have a permanent place on the Vita
Great numbers all round.
PS3 up YOY.
Wii at this price is probably going to be a monster in the holidays. Also Where's the kinect software?
My body is ready
They never intended for it to be casual but they brought out the wii-mote as it's main controller?
Yea i refuse to believe that.
This article didn't quote what he said it but you can check out IGN's article which has the quote.

I know FPS's are the most popular genre right now but it's getting quite saturated. Nintendo should not overdo it.
THIS
Also Sony themselves said that after releasing the PSP, they put all their resources into the PS3's launch. This time round their not making the same mistake. Also with the propreitary memory cards hacking into it might be harder than before.
Things are different this time and to be honest the PSP sold 70 Million and the vita selling 70 Million will be a success and i'm sure if it hits that number it would have a tons more games than the PSP at t...
Loved the bit with the Ferrari F10
When we look at the software lineup for the year-end sales season," he continues. "it is so dense that, if we added any more software, the total sales would not increase
They should not have released it so early then imo. There was a shortage of games to buy from launch till now and now there's enough that they want to spread it out.
It's a good idea to spread it out to get maximum sales but at the same time they're more or less admittin...
