I'm not sure which has better legs, NSMB Wii or the controversy over the Reggie/Geoff Keighley bet.

Didn't Gametrailers admit they edited the footage to make it look like Reggie said the 360 version?

If you can provide a link or something from them as proof I will happily believe you.

Here is the video by the way. The interviewer guy clearly states "The 360?" twice to him, where he says "I believe so".

uncharted 2 was in 3 bundles, in major retailers as well. wtf happened to those numbers

It seems the bundles of the games simply haven't been tracked for some reason...

Check this post for last years big bundles. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=3788456

And this Year the big bundled games didn't even break 15k units.

Definitely a problem with the tracking. ioi should notice and fix it up pretty soon. Very strange though.

 

The fact that it had less sales than some expected please explain why. What proof is there besides not meeting some PS3 estimates.

LOL LOL LOL thats pathetic for GT5, thats a awful week 1 on Black Friday aswell. And people actually thought this game was gonna get the PS3 to have a 1 million week aswell, its not even gonna be 800,000.

I told you all the game would disappoint but nooooo i was trolling under 2 million week 1 was "laughable" and "ridiculous" well its gonna open to about 2.03 million not so ridiculous now is it. Sony fanboys always over hype PS3s exlusives people genuinely thought this could surpass GT3. Itll easily be the worst selling GT game of the 5 and will never come close to 10 million.

What a failure.

Because of a few reasons.

Uncharted 2
LittleBigPlanet
God of War 3
God of War Collection
A few more games...

All were in Black Friday bundles very similar to the ones from last year. The bundles from last year saw the games increase considerably in sales, with some boosting a games sales by up to 100k units. This year, the games barely increased at all, none of them topping 15k units despite PS3 hardware increasing by over 200% for the week... Which just screams out that there is a problem with the tracking of those bundled titles.

In that case, maybe we should recommend an IP Ban
