forget console versus console.. silent hill homecoming versus Alan Wake. could be enormous...
edit: forgot about Ruby and Wet...could be good. Ruby v lara croft...
erm..it's not completely worthless...but they do sometimes make huge mistakes...ask them how many copies of hot shots 5 were sold in europe/others: zero..
@^^^^^well put.
ps. npd has made mistakes before...but still if GFK would release their data info, and chartrack could release their hardware update every month, and we had media create or someone similiar do more of asia, at least the biggest ones, we could viably have a more accurate 'balance sheet'. VG chart's doesn't show the strength of trends per say but it tends to show them none the least...wii's running away, ps3 catching up, x360 going steady. at the very least they use japanese figures for real......
yes, its not like psp/ds difference in japan, its way closer...a couple of months like that with ps3/360 in europe and US, and it could change very quickly. but of course, you have to argue that in this generation, the x360 is a stumbling block...although I diagree with your trends setting analysis: within one year ps3 overtaking x360 lead in europe, (okay maybe within a year and a bit, but they still started from scratch and reached those heights: brand loyalty), and is 2/3rd's on it's way t...
I'll agree with the this as being the 'one' with the most hype, but they will always be a cod4 for every halo...
edit: oh that reminds me, COD5 ought to be out this year as well...plus some things that haven't been revealed yet.
you know what's dubious, the figure is 'too close' to 2/1 ratio. set up for a pr check...
edit: doesn't walmart sell huge amounts of GTA, supermarkets in the UK are starting to shift enormous numbers...
they didn't say too much about skate...that could be big this time round what with tony hawk on ds only.. and of course it was pretty much revolutionary skating gameplay. they could have done more with six axis though...
good review...very good review in my opinion...he's got GTA to a Tee..he's got the perception of gamers and games journalism bang on..
a couple of years ago I would have agreed with you...sony's seems to be changing its tune with drm...they seem to 'want' to be seen as being more open and allow flexibilty between devices, sony ericsson walkman...psp...ps3...no need for drm at the moment... maybe I could be mistaken, piracy seems to be hitting hard but not even being able share with your friends is crap...remember ps3 is region free...and for the time being, quite a few bd movies are region free. still good comment. bubbles ...
beta november than some unknown time in future...
spin much?
but I will give him credit for pushing it as a games console towards the backend of last year...before then it seem to have been advertised as a hi-def player.
the difference was five thousand? geez... what they claiming then...51-49?
@JhawkFootball06: been to backbreakergame.com recently...
you sound like an pr stunt...
looks to be cool...
yeh you can usually see who their targeting by the picture on the box. they've got a gran on there, I reckon they should call it the 'gran pack' and see its effect on sales....
for a second, I thought you were predicting lbp sales. this was what I was about to say lol...''you do know that you're predicting that every single ps3 owner is going to buy it and some more then once'
Their sure to have an even lower priced 40 gig model and bundle it... I'm just hoping that sony start talking about BC by then...
ps. I've got 60 gb...but I was just thinking of buying it as a chrismas present for my little neice...
sev man...I missed your posts... bubbles to you...
