I think they are taking revenue into account. So they're counting the sales of the toys.
EDIT: yeah I'm right. Look at this quote from the press release.
" is pleased to announce that Skylanders Spyro's Adventure™, which launched to great acclaim and record-setting sales in October 2011, was the #1 best-selling console and handheld video game title between January and April 30, 2012 worldwide based on revenue inclusive of toys and accessories...
It could still be Gaikia though.
Think of it like Skype. Many companies still use it even though Microsoft bought them. Even Sony uses it on the Vita...
Fable is getting milked to death. The quality just isn't there anymore.
Forza looks to be following the same path with the new "spin-off".
Halo has been a yearly franchise ever since Halo Wars.
Gears now is looking to follow....
Sounds interesting!
The Xbox 360 could continue selling in tablet form, while the core gamer will be buying Xbox 720s.
Smart move by Microsoft.
Please tell me they got some Justin Bieber in there!
Baby Baby Baby Ohhhh!
If you start watching it in english, you'll never go back.
BTW, "Gomu Gomu" in english is "Gum Gum".
Unfortunately, no amount of marketing will get those Xbots to stop playing Halo and Gears.
Really? Another one? Is this all Microsoft has for its core gamer? More Halo and More Gears?
If it comes out this year how much dev time would it have? 9 months?
Yeah, if you are part of the 1% who has an internet connection good enough for it.
This is true.
Same here.
I think people are making too big a deal out of this potential cloud thing.
Glad to see Black OPs 2 getting huge boosts.
This will be the biggest COD yet!
You for got one.
11. US residents are getting shafted. They will be forced to download the game since no physical disc will be made available.
By making the 360 so cheap, it makes people buy 2-3.
They are only counting 2012 sales in America.
Because America = The World
Pretty sure Microsoft is only counting North American marketshare, and they're referring to this year.
They're not. They actually increased from last gen.
If they're smart, they will.
I'm not really interested in getting lots of free games...
Who has the time to play all those?
Interesting.
