Ahh we are at it again.
PS Vita gets the biggest ad campaign in history of SCEE: "THAT'S IT SONY! Wooohooo!"
MS Kinect launched with 500 million USD marketing budget: "OMG MS IS DESPERATE!!!! WITHOUT ADS KINECT WOULD NOT SELLAT ALL!!!"
Actually you should be thankful that MS did not spend that 500 million USD on games. Imagine what kind of games you would be missing.
"Hey Bethesda, we want Skrim to ...
I am not one single bit excited for the wii u yet, even though I want to. I remember when Xbox 360 specs were rumored (coming from 700 Mhz to 3x 3.2 Ghz was a huge jump) Back then multiple Core processors were not mainstream (early 2005). Nobody knew how that would turn out. Then we heard about the PS3 cell chip, with almost no information at all.
It seemed that everyone was excited what is next and I just don't have that feeling with the Wii-U.
But mayb...
It is a sales article. Who the hell comes in here to complain that sales don't matter?
Great job Gears for being the best selling exclusive.
WOW 50% is really really bad.
Waiting for the "PS VITA SOLD OUT IN FRANCE!!!!111" headlines. :-)
There is no way to spin it, so far the PS Vita launch was not a success. They need lots of killer apps and a price cut to deal with 3DS...
I bought Gears of War 3, CoD Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Dance Central 2, Rise of Nightmares, Crysis 2, Skyrim, Kinect Sports Season 2, Plants vs Zombies, Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary, Rage, Sonic Free Riders, Batman Arkham City and probably a couple of others I forgot.
So there is no way this was a bad for me as a gamer.
There is Fable, Alan Wake, Star Wars, Minecraft, Witcher 2, Steel Battalion for a start.
Crazy numbers MS sold (to retail) 15.1 million consoles this year. Sony said they will sell (to retail) 15 million consoles in their financial year, which ends in March. So the gap just stayed the same.
18 million Kinect sensors is just crazy. A huge hit that is.
Xbl generates one billion USD just with the fees per year.
MS being up YoY that much is just crazy.
Do you guys have yoy numbers? It must be up yoy big time due to the pricecut.
English is my second language and I am writing this on my samsung Galaxy S2. Please stop this grammar stuff.
The VW vs Ferrari stuff is just wrong without 2 important factors. First difference in price (given for VW vs Ferrari, not for casuals vs core) and profit margin (given for Ferrari vs VW, given for casual vs core. Casual games are more profitable.) So what makes you think the core title is the Ferrari in this comparison? I know it, you think it is superior, which per...
Ahh the most retarded form of live is at work again - The core gamer. Unbelieveable there are people that don't even question that their gaming taste is superior than other. The other being the majority here.
Kinect Sports outsold Killzone 3 by quite a margin. Dance Central outsold LBP 2, Kinectimals outsold InFamous as well.
I am playing Halo, Gears and Skyrim but I also like some Kinect games. You guys seem to feel offended by games that does not fit y...
The dashboard is really cool. It is really easy to navigate and comes with cool features and pretty awesome Apps. The responses from the media was great and I think it is a big move for MS.
I don't care about this nerdrage here. The game is just brilliant.
Episodic content. I told you so. Alan Wake is perfect for it.
It is a mindblowing success for MS. Nobody would have expected something like that 5 years ago.
It is only a question of time when continental Europe will be 360 country as well. All of our entertainment is American or British. Movies, Music and books. So why not gaming? If MS gets the same services to Europe and actually starts marketing them, the next Xbox should be in a good starting position.
how about all those games from december?!
@duckduckdeuce
you must have stupid friends then.
"Hey this speaking teddy wants to have my credit card information - sounds fair!"
"1 week later - OMG I WAS HACKED!"
no Halo 4 no list.
@killerhog
Assassin's Creed (and every sequel), Saints Row (and every sequel), LA Noire, Red Dead Redemption, Dead Rising 2, GTA, Star Wars The force unleashed all sold better on Xbox 360. So no, the PS3 does not have better Action Adventure sales.
@Megaman_nerd
your linking towards a source that proves you wrong. Gratz!
Fable, Forza, Kinect Sports are all 3 million+ sellers.
I think these comments give you a pretty good picture of the sad state the N4G community is in.
Maybe a lot of you guys are just sad that Kinect outsold move about 2.5:1 in its first year. And the only future Move has is as a lightning gun.
Kinect is a success, the core gamers still play on the 360 and MS outsold the PS3 worldwide in 2011. Three facts you guys need to enjoy for the weekend.
