have you noticed I am now talking about sales? Can you not read? But yes I did do economics at the university of manchester in the UK. So what it really doesn't matter and if your going to get hung up about it forget I said it. Sorry.
Its hopeless arguing on N4g.
no one hyped too human in the way lbp was hyped. So your congratulating lbp for outselling it. It would be a disaster if it didn't lbp is a much much better game. Oh well small victories n'all.
Also what do you mean by the 360 has a bigger userbase if you believe microsoft? Its a fact it has. Have you seen sony brag about outselling the 360 yet? No? Microsoft shipped 22.5 million new consoles by sep 30th whilst sony shipped 16.6 I believe to retailers. The gap is still around 6...
best sell that wii.....
i probably wouldn't win a spelling bee. But at least I know what i'm talking about. Is my spelling the best reply you can come up with?
Hmm......
edit@ pixel..
exactly, numbers shipped isn't sold. Shipped is sold to retailers and when sony, ms and nintendo say they've sold so and so amount it ALWAYS means to retailers. Sorry i'm sounding like a jerk but its just frustrating thats its such a common misconception that people take these numbers as go...
not sure about that. Its definately not in the UK. Anyway if you look at software then the wii usually does beat the 360 even minus wii sports. Of course both are software beasts im not disputing that.
I don't know how you've managed to get your blind fanyboy lies confused with the truth.
So you mean that when microsoft said they shipped 22.5 million to retailers at the end of september you think they count rrod's in the number?
Right okay. First of all that is illegal and no company would do that. Sencondly, these financials are for investors, not us, telling them how much has been shipped and the profit margins. Now if they counted rrod they would not be mak...
then your just stupid.
its the fanboys fault who pinned too much hope on the game. It wasn't magically going to send the ps3 up to wii levels was it no matter how good.
in comparison to the wii. THe 360 outsells the wii in software at times of a big game release but outside that its the wii brand all the way. The wii is untouchable this gen. End of.
That MS counts RROD consoles as new sales? Well no your wrong and when your old enough to do business and economics and university then you'll realise your mistake.
but who cares, its still killing in sales.
Does this news really affect your life in any way?
If favouritism of a console by people at a shop matters to you then I think you need to re-assess what exactly should matter to you in life.
Its not as if they don't sell the games is it?
tell it like it is!
The xbox is nowhere in sight! Nintendo really does rule all. Really it leaves all this 360vs ps3 fight useless.
They are both fighting for 2nd place!
Wii just broke ps2's october sales record by 300k! That is just fantastic. I know i'll get disagrees for this but the wii is still my favourite console this gen, despite (I will admit) a lacklustre second half of 2008.
on the neo-gaf thread.
Im sure was tracked for 5 days by NPD - remember NPD stops at the end of weeks not when the new calendar month hits.
It sold well why do you have to exaggerate.
Thats pathetic. Its as if you feel you have to exagerate how well it sold to make it sound better. Did it not sell like you expected?
Whats the next post going to be like.
'Released just 6 hours before NPD LBP sells over 200,000 copies!!!1!
so LBP did 215K which is respectable.
What about fallout 3 doing 400K in 5 days?
What about fable 2?
I thought the xbox was dead how come its kicking ass in sales?
Has it ever occured to you that microsoft has stuff planned for 09?
How much can one person be in denial. Its too funny!
Edit@ posted up
and do you see LBP at the top of sales like halo 3 was? I don't.
The ps3 is 10 million behind the ps2 and yet you still spin! Blood...
stop lying, the 360 HAS overtaken the ps3 in yearly sales now, stop making up numbers. And as for Europe, I know your probably blind like most fanboys but since the last pricecut the 360 is outselling the ps3 in Europe. Every tracking firm confirms this - charttrack, gfk etc.
How can you honestly say that 2008 is th last year of teh xbox when its just outsold the ps3 2-1? I guess the ps3 is already dead then.
I have nothing against the ps3, its just fanboys (esp...
I think thats new this month.
360 2-1 over ps3. This clearly isn't the year of the ps3 to anyone without THICK fanboy glasses on.
Also BIG KUDOS to nintendo. 803k! They just smashed the ps2's october npd record by 300k! 300! Say what you want about nintendo but they are dominated and won't be caught this generation. Im happy for them after the disapointment of the last 2 gens.
Edit: Maybe people don't understand the wii because they are in denial ...
and so is the xbox. HD gaming is still really suffering, and 1 week when the ps3 outsells the wii with the fantastic bundles ain't gonna prove anything when its back behind the week after.
the too many games to buy at the moment argument just doesn't work. Motorstorm 2 has just completely slipped under the radar and has bombed and SOCOM looks to be going the same way.
However those are really good sales for LBP. Its a new ip, of course it isnt going to sell aswell as gears which has aquired a fanbase by being a genuinely good shooter. But lbp should grow through word of mouth and more and more people will discover its awesomeness.
okay oner yes you have a very good point that the numbers ms quotes for consoles won't be the current working consoles because of RROD. This is the same for Sony and nintendo but they have had less failures so the exageration won't be as great. Your right and I get your point.
But itr guy your wrong if you think sony's 'sales' are to consumers. No company in the world reports to consumers, how the hell would they know exactly how many consoles are being sold all around the worl...
