It's acttually not impossible because companies like best buy, gamestop, walmart etc track their sales precisely and create sales reports. They use these sales reports to buy second and third shipments of titles. Sony uses these repeat shipments to gauge how many units they are selling through. It's not the most accurate but there's a little room for error but you get the picture..
Umm really dude? I'm going to believe PD's numbers over VGChartz one the most notoriously innaccurate tracking sites.. How many times have they been caught adjusting numbers after official sales are made public?? Too many to count..
I have the Ghost of Sparta bundle! I love it too, thats exactly why I am torn about waiting if they make a bundle remotely like the GoW:GoS bundle then I will be elated...
Looks like Sony has learned some very important lessons.. Not very many people buy based on loyalty alone anymore... I can't wait to see the vita blow up and meet its full potential!
I know I'm buying one.. Question is when, I really want one at launch but I don't want to buy one and end up regreting not waiting for a special edition bundle that comes out later..
Move is a conglomeration between what the wii started and what the kinect brought to the table.. BUT most casual consumers aren't really going to know that, they just know that the kinect lets you use your body to control the games and they eat it up i.e. GIMMICK... Move was a fan service to the core players if you ask me.. Are there casuals who have and play move? Yea I'd be willing to bet there are but nowhere near as many as the kinect or wii, hence why sales data is so different f...
NO matter how different kinect and move are from one another the fact that one is made by microsoft and the other sony means that they will forever be compared to one another.. These "casual" consumers that they are supposedly competing to win over wont really know the difference, they eat up gimmicks and marketing is the only way to relay your product.. So this may prove to be an effective technique.. All I know is that I love the move for what it brings to my ps3 gaming experience...
Darth I'm about as serious a gamer as they come but I refuse to buy a console that nickel and dimes you to death with accessories and and the right to play your games online that you paid for already... It just blows my mind how people go so far to justify xbl whenever the two services are nearly on par..
With every passing day I want the vita more and more.. I just want to know if they plan on releasing like a god of war edition down the road because if they do I want one badly.. I have a ghost of sparta psp and I am in love with it... Cant wait to see the psv special editions...
They've always sent out reps but they've never interacted with consumers.. They are mainly there to make sure the kiosks and demo units are up to date and fine.. This is the first I have ever heard of reps talking with consumers...
Wow the launch of the vita is looking insane! THe only mistake sony is making with the vita is not launching it in the states for christmas... Casuals are not going to buy the vita this soon after christmas.. SOny would have sold alot more if launched before christmas but honestly I could care less just as long as I get my hands on one!!!
Kinda how setting off a real nuke would kill everything within proximity so why the hell does this game give it as a reward for the winning team? "ohh you're winning? Here nuke the whole map!" This game is so far from logical its not even funny...
Honestly the one thing that could fix a majority of the issues with this game is dedicated servers and if the game paired people based on connection.. I know that it scans games based on ping but its very ambiguous and then when someone is the host their bandwidth takes a huge hit so instead of trying to adress this issue head on they take the lazy way out and implent a "lag compensation" feature that essentially delays the response time of everyone with better connections i.e. arti...
mw2 wasn't that bad, mw3 is straight garbage! In mw2 they spawned on the opposite side of the map for the most part.. It was nothing for me to go on a 30+ killstreak in mw2 but in this one its rare that I break 20 because of the spawning and terrible hit detection in this game...
Amen
You forgot the hit detection, for example on hardhat there was a guy camping behind the bulldozer and I fired, got two hit markers and the guy just moves behind cover.. The only part of his body exposed was his head.. Two shots to the head and he survives but somone else lights up my feet and I die almost immediately.. I'm about to walk away from this game for good, seems like the only thing that will wake infinity ward up at this point is a mass exodus of the hardc...
I'm frankly getting sick of emptying clips into people and then suddenly i die only to have the killcam show me that I just sat there and watched them kill me... Multiplayer in this game is the worst of all the modern warfares in terms of consistency...
Personally I could care less about the size.. Everyone carries their 3ds' around in protective cases and thats exactly what I'll do with my Vita.. If the only thing anyone can complain about is the size then Sony is sitting pretty.. Cannot wait to get my hands on one...
Hands up if you have had an enemy (especially one you just killed) spawn directly behind you, kill you, and ruin your kill streak!!!
poweful but innacurate...
How could you 7.3 million and spin it to be negative!?! lol not matter how you slice it 7.3 million is HUGE.. Cannot wait to see what they do with GT6 and we dont have to wait half a century lol..
