List is not complete.
Where is Alan Wake (1.1 million), Splinter Cell Conviction (1.9 million), Mass Effect (1.4 million), Left 4 Dead (2.1 million), Left 4 Dead 2 (2.1 million), Viva Pinata (1.5 million), Project Gotham Racing 3 (0.6 million), Project Gotham Racing 4 (1.9 million) for Xbox 360?
Can someone please check the PS3 games that are missing?!
"Kinect games do not count" vs. "Sorcery is coming!"
I am not saying the PS3 lineup is weak but neither is the Xbox 360 lineup.
Halo 4,
Ryse,
Alan Wake American Nightmares,
Star Wars Kinect,
The Witcher 2,
Minecraft,
Steel Battalion,
Fable The Journey,
Project Draco
We haven't even reached 2012 yet and I still have to play Rage, Halo CEA, Batman Arkham Cit...
So the article counting on The last of Us, The last Guardian and the not even announced God of War IV.
Ok... There is a decent chance that only one of those will actually see a 2012 release.
Halo: Reach is selling at a faster rate than Halo 3. ODST is an add on to Halo 3.
You might think this "Kinect games do not count" stuff would be over after Kinect raped Move left and right and proved itself. Well, maybe it is just because of it,
hahaha 4 of these 5 games have been "most wanted" last year as well.
That is why I love list wars with fanboys.
1. Halo 4
2. Max Payne 3
3. Alan Wake
4. Ryse
5. GTA V
IMO
But I do have Skyrim, Arkham City, Battlefield 3, Rage and Halo CEA as a backup. I only played Skyrim for 3 hours today and haven't even touched the other games. I actually need a slower year than 2011.
Profit wise MS would be on top. But not for revenue, which is just logical due to the fact that Sony has the PSP, PS2 and PS3 running. Sure PSP and PS2 are not that huge anymore, but they generate revenue anyway.
Actually most of MS products are very popular and successful in the past years.
Windows 7
Xbox 360
Windows phone 7
MS Office (Best one ever!)
IE 9 made great steps in the right direction
Kinect
Silverlight
Sure there are products like Zune and Kin, which did not do so well, but overall MS made some really great moves. But yeah broken record keeps on spinning.
I don't care about people being disappointed by it and you shouldn't either. There are far more important things to be disappointed about in this world.
I just have a problem with companies announcing games years before release and sell something not even close to a final version. Look, fanboys used this game to prove that their console (PS3) has the superior LineUp of games in 2010, 2011 and 2012. I know there can be delays, but I don't get 2 full years of delay....
He just said what gamestop told him. Apparently some other gamers received the same message. So blame Gamestop instead.
If true, I will lol.
We can make this even easier:
Japan is not Microsofts main market.
FFXIII sold 2 million on Xbox 360, which is good for SE. I know a lot of people talked about this being a bad move but in the end, they made about $80,000,000.- with the Xbox version and the costs for a port are not that high. FF XII - 2 might sell 1 million on Xbox 360 (of course mostly in the west) but that means still a revenue about $40,000,000.-
Do you guys even read the article?
"Latest sales reports indicate Sony had sold roughly 320,000 PlayStation Vita units in the first two days of its launch. This number, if indeed correct, is still well shy of the 500,000 shipped. "
I can't even see a difference. And that is when I concentrate on screenshots. During my gaming session I bet there won't be any difference worth mentioning.
okay, so 3DS not doing well, because "only your brother and his friend" have one and the PSP was a success, because you "see many people with one".
Why do these analysts and manufacturer pay NPD millions of USD when they can use your anecdotal evidence for free!
Fact is NPD November showed that 3DS did very well and PSP lost against the DS everywhere in the world.
did anybody not expexct Japan to buy PS Vitas? Heck, they are basically the only country in the world where PSP was a success.
The real test will be NA and Europe. Is a 700k shipment much for a hardware release? I seriously don't know.
I doubt MS bet on cloud computing will hurt them that much. After reading this article it seems like there won't be any other form of distribution starting tomorrow.
The main problem the article is pointing towards is storage or running data centers. If the recent trend showed us one thing it is that storage will become even cheaper. I remember paying my ass off for a HDD. Today you can find a 1 TB for $110.
I don't know why the push for the cloud sud...
somehow I have a feeling there would be a different reaction towards this if this was a Microsoft product...
no we don't. PSP was not a big hit in Europe.
