Funny how they compare a multiplatform game to an exclusive like Halo its hardly fair, wouldnt surprise me if ODST sold more than MW2 on the 360
9.4!!!
Wow after all those negative stories about the game being short it goes and gets a 10 in lasting appeal, 2009 could be the first time an XBLA games gets GOTY lol
"...Xbox 360 Arcade listing is a placeholder for an as-of-yet unspecified SKU. Whether that’s an enhanced Arcade SKU or a reduced RRP Elite – or even both – is yet to be seen."
Interesting, maybe the arcade is getting a harddrive
That seems kinda stupid but they must obviously believe that people will still buy it.
Why they took out the acarde games, when its called the >>Arcade<< 360
So many massive 360 exclusives next year, the only way i could see this game being disappointing will be its length and replay value. Just hope Remedy give you loads of reasons to play the game through again and again.
It obviously wont do Halo 3 numbers but it will certainly be 1 of the top 5 sellers of 2009 and if you take out multiplatform games the only games I can see topping it would be Wii Sports Resort or Wii Fit Plus but it will easily do 3 to 4ml by the end of the year.
Interesting how they have Forza and what looks like Halo: ODST on the back when those games havnt even released yet and why they put the word Elite in white, you can barely see it.
Well no one knows what title will become popular until its released its not something which can be forced. If its a well made game and people enjoy playing it and tell others that then it will become huge.
Exactly when they release it will probably double again
And during bad economic times too, things can only get better for MS now
The thing is they do advertise they just dont know how to do it well. The ads they create are usually poorly made and are put in places where their target audience wont see them.
You would think 3 generations would teach you enough on how to advertise effectively.
Thats because they're going to release a Slim of their own when natal comes. In fact i bet they're extremely happy Sony is playing the slim card first, so they can release theirs without fear of a counter attack from Sony.
Good for MS at least all that work in EU is paying off
But for how long and by how much is the question. All MS needs to do is release the 360 slim with Natal and the 360 goes back on top.
Wow the Wii is pretty close to the 360 this month even with Wii Sport Resort and no major 360 games. Looks like the Wii fad may finally be fading.
Why does Sony do these comparisons it just makes them look worst for not outselling the Wii and 360
"Interoperability with PSP" !?
How in the world are the 360/Wii going to have that, its just like MS using Windows Media Centre or Nintendo with the DS.
Sony needs to stop getting preoccupied with its competitors and start trying to get its own system to sell as well and become as dominat as its predecessors cause at the rate they are going that not go...
Sony really should have done software BC from the beginning cause a lot of people probably wont realize that the new models suddenly will have it.
Its strange the way they only managed to be able to do it now though.
"1st party exclusives don't sell"
You got that right, seems like Sony needs to bundle more of them if they ever want 2 reach impressive numbers, especially since this is for the ENTIRE franchise
Halo 3 is a beast which continues to sell extremely well even years after its release. Its no surprise MS would want to release a Halo branded game every year.
"The most shocking number from the survey — and frightening from a consumer perspective — is only 3.8 percent of Xbox 360 owners said they'd never buy another Xbox because of hardware failure."
Thats not surprising considering its played the most, you wouldnt want to give up your most enjoyable hobby so easily
