GOTY worthy? LMAO! Saints Row is the video game industry's equivalent of a "straight to DVD movie". Thumbs down to the extremely low presentation values.
It sold approximately 500,000 units so far, so that averages out to about 200 kills per player.
Killzone 2 Week 1: 750,000
Killzone 3 Week 1: 500,000
That's pretty awful considering the PS3 install base is now nearly 30 million units larger than it was back at the time of Killzone 2's release. A big exclusive FPS game like this is expected to sell much better.
This could pretty much be seen coming though. It wasn't getting nearly as much hype as its predecessor, and Killzone 2 really stood out in the graphics department, while more P...
PD reports GT5 numbers sold to retailers.
VGC estimates GT5 numbers sold to consumers.
There's your difference.
Congratulations to Sony for a 4 million Move install base after 6 months.
Congratulations to Microsoft for an 8 million Kinect install base after 60 days.
Congratulations to everyone!
With their $500 million marketing, they boasted about how they expected to sell 5 million units by the end of the year. They ended up selling 8 million units. They must be pretty damn pleased, especially with Kinect earning the title of "the fastest selling consumer electronics device of all-time". So if Kinect is overpriced, yet it's still breaking sales records, it must be pretty damn CRAZY successful!
It was definitely not a typo and that is very clearly a lie to cover it up. The guy is not credited anywhere for GTA IV, while he is listed in the credits for every other game he has on his resume.
Now take a look at this. In addition to his newest resume from mid 2010, an older copy of his resume from early 2010 has been uncovered:
His new resume has since been changed, but it originally included listings for GTA V, RDR, and L.A. Noire.

The PS3 will outsell the 360 in 2007!
The PS3 will pass the 360 in 2008!
The PS3 will steal second place in 2009!
The PS3 will push the 360 to last place in 2010!
The PS3 will overtake the 360 in 2011!
Yawn... I might have believed it in 2010, just coming off of the PS3's Slim release and $100 price drop. The 360 looked doomed back then. But now the 360 has the most momentum of any console going into 2011, with its highest sales yet, and be...
I'll predict an E3 2011 reveal and a May 15, 2012 release. A man can dream....
Sony and Microsoft report SOLD TO RETAILERS numbers. These are known as SHIPPED numbers. When most people refer to SOLD numbers, they are referring to the number of units SOLD TO CONSUMERS. Obviously, there is a big difference. 6 million untis sold to retailers does not equal 6 million units sold to consumers.
How exactly is the 360 on its way out when it is currently seeing its highest sales ever and selling in first place worldwide? That's like saying the PS3 was on its way out right after its price drop and Slim launch back in 2009. It simply makes no sense....
@kreate "like always, the ps3 and 360 will have equal amount of sales in the americas and toward the holiday season the 360 will beat the ps3 in the americas. while in the rest of the world, the ps3 will beat the 360 including the asian and european territories."
But you're wrong. The Xbox 360 is currently outselling the PS3 by a 2 to 1 ratio in the Americas, and all that with shortages. Sure, the PS3 is doing better in Europe and Japan, but the gap in the Ameri...
Well, I don't know who gives a shit about Move, but 9 million people (and rapidly growing) would like to have a word with you about Kinect (the fastest selling consumer electronics device of all-time).
@maddfoxx
Problem is, the PS3 has not outsold the 360 since Kinect's release. And despite the PS3's 2011 lineup, and the 360's apparent "lack of games" in 2011, the 360 is selling better than EVER before, has been the top selling console since the beginning of 2011, and is the only console seeing an increase in sales compared to this same time last year (all this with shortages as well).
The 360 has far more momentum than any console goi...
@malandra
Intentionally trying to downplay the 360 lineup again by not including PC/360 exclusives? Real original. The only place you will get away with a farce like this is on N4G. You would be torn apart anywhere else.
Microsoft publishes games for both of their platforms; Windows and the Xbox 360. Sony does not have another platform to publish for aside from handhelds, but we can't count those (well maybe we will be able to with the NGP if it's as ...
It looks very slick. The perfect cover for the most anticipated game of 2011!
@BakedGoods
The beginning of the end when the 360 is seeing its highest sales ever? The beginning of the end when the 360 is the ONLY console seeing higher sales than this time last year, while all the other consoles are down YOY? the beginning of the end when Kinect becomes the fastest selling consumer electronics device of all-time?
The Xbox 360 easily has more momentum going into 2011 than any other console. These are simply facts and cannot be denied.
The PS3 version of Oblivion was better because it came out a year later than the 360 version. This is a simultaneous release, so it will almost certainly not be the case, but rather vice versa.
GTA will NEVER have a character creator for the main plot. That would make for a really lame experience. Imagine if past GTA's had a character creator. It would have been pretty ridiculous to play San Andreas as a skinny white guy or GTA IV as a fat mexican dude with a British accent. That's the kind of absurdity you get in a game like Saints Row and that's what makes it such a shallow experience.
A character creator would completely ruin the plot and would automa...
