The majority of VGChartz "statistics" appear to be absolute guesswork, given that they don't even have access to UK sales numbers. Oh, and based on the fact that they say things such as "I think 25% of people bought a motion controller to use Move, and 75% bought one as a second controller" with absolutely NO evidence to back it up.
Bless 'em.
"something fishy going on there by M$" - Nope, just makes good business sense. If you think your product is better, release it at the same time as your opposition releases their next big thing.
When that plan backfires, it backfires big, though... :)
I'd agree with that. It gets SO good when you get onto the Silver Champions Cup. Without assistance and with the tougher AI, its really difficult! :)
Unfortunately for your argument, ndibu, Sports Champions is NOT bundled with Move in the UK, which is where these charts are for. And for the UK market alone (NOT Europe), 150k is actually very impressive for week one sales of ANYTHING.
You really should put together a solid basis for an argument. Preferably before starting it.
Oh, and for the record, I still have to play a bit more of Racket Sports, but its decidedly average and not much better than a Wii game from first glance. If I give it anything lower than 4.5/5, am I biased? Or...just maybe...am I doing my job honestly?
Where have *I* - who reviewed Tiger Woods 11 - said "Kinect FTW" at the end of any article?
Where have I referred to PS3 owners as fanboys?
Oh, and Kinetic <> Kinect.
Kinetic <> Kinect.
OK, I'm the Editor of KineticBoom.com, and you're all WAY off the money with your accusations of bias.
The ONE post by someone other than me ends with "Kinect FTW" - as he was summing up his experience at Kinect Galleries, which he enjoyed. I have, and never will, write anything like that myself.
And, you'll find that the site's name is "KINETICboom" not "KINECTboom." Kinetic means 'movement' and we are no...
Are you mixing up "Kinect" (the Microsoft product) and "Kinetic" (which means "movement")?
The site's name is the latter, and it focuses on motion gaming.
"What am i 12 again?" - It certainly seems that way from your blog post.
Completely agree. Had several girlfriends that have shown a passing interest in gaming, and I've tried to get them into it properly. I've bought every game that they showed an interest in, and they got bored within ten minutes, even with games that are "aimed" at them.
Some women like gaming...some don't. I don't see the point in spending millions on development when women won't actively tell us what sort of game they WOULD like to play, or wha...
Maybe its because you talk like you're texting? Just a thought, "M8"
I'm not angry. I also don't shoot someone for saying something bad about me that might affect my "rep". Each to their own, as long as they're true to themselves, right?
You TRULY think that this person "doesn't try to fit in and look, sound and talk like the next man?" Seriously? Really? You believe that?
And I guess every single person in the hip-hop crowd (bear in mind that he's calling himself HipHopGamer, not me...
Wow, the race card. Original.
Of course, it isn't just because his videos are essentially long, drawn out HIZZY HIZZY HIZIP HOP-wannabe crap, is it? Or that he gives massively high scores for games that PR guys send him, is it? Or that his videos contain straight-out lies.
Nooooo...it's because he's black.
How about this. I'm white. Let me reveal exclusively, that the KILLZONE 7 BETA IS GOING LIVE NEXT WEEK. YOU HEARD I...
Or, or...OR...here's a thought. People like playing GAMES and don't listen to utter douchebags that just scream "SONY SONY SONY SONY SONY WINS!" over and over again at every little "victory" that Sony has. GT5 got an award? What a surprise! Who'd have thought? The entire industry is waiting for GT5 to "save" a genre that doesn't need saving. What did you expect to happen?
Out of interest, will Gran Turismo 5 actually have any AI...
Just wow. This is an unbelievably desperate article.
"Gamescom greater-thaned E3 for Sony."
Makes sense.
Please don't. The majority of us Europeans aren't so desperate to be seen as "winners" backing the "winning" team that we become fanboys. We play games.
That all happened at E3? Crikey. I thought that the show just passed was called Gamescom, and hosted on an entirely different continent to E3.
"will attract Wii Fit users and not hardcore gamers"
I'm both. Although I'm more of a My Fitness Coach kinda guy.
Yes, "hardcore gamers" can keep fit. Who'd have thought?
