How did OOT flop??? Its a port of a old game, what were people expecting it to sell?? Half a mil and we dont even have the full US sales yet

People probably wanted it to sell similarly to a new Zelda or the old one. Remakes hardly do though.

I love to see Duke Nukem Forever up there. It's like "Oh screw you reviewers, we don't care what you say :)"

It didn't push the 3DS above 100k units worldwide, that's how it flopped. Seriously, getting above 100k shouldn't be too much to ask for.


Can we at least see how the system sold in America b4 we call doom? IMHO, i wasnt expecting this game to push the 3DS that much, maybe im crazy but i wouldnt buy a system for 250 just to play a game that i already own, especially when that gmae is full price.

Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

Well it's the reason I will might buy a 3DS. But certainly not at full price (for 3DS or the game), and I don't own / haven't played the original. So I'm probably in a relatively small group of potential buyers.

inFamous 2 2nd week drop is OK but I was hoping for a more rapid move up to 1 million than what this drop indicates.

Duke Nukem is doing better than the reviews would suggest it should. But it's still going to end up doing relatively poorly because it's just not that great of a game. Reviews may be lower than they should be because of the game's history and pedigree but they aren't too far off. I think it's heading towards being the poorest performing FPS of the generation. It might sell more than some FPSs in an absolute sense, but for the good will the original brings to DNF this game is going to be like PS3 sales performance relative to PS2.

Why are people buying Duke Nukem Forever and not inFAMOUS 2?!

Actually I am quite certain that 99% (if not 100%) of the people who said it were quite in the know that this didn't include US numbers and were joking...



Currently Playing: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked, Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Anticipating: Xenoblade, The Last Story, Mario Kart 7, Rayman Origins, Zelda SS, Crush3D, Tales of the Abyss 3DS, MGS:Snake Eater 3DS, RE:Revelations, Time Travellers, Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, Luigi's Mansion 2, MH TriG, DQ Monsters, Heroes of Ruin

Ocarina of Time 3D really makes the original look inferior by alot... I've tried playing the original one just yesterday and my god I didn't realize that the frame rate of the game was drastically improved over the original that I found it hard to play the original one again. However, I still plan on finishing it on the virtual console for the sake of it... But my god the frame rate of the original wasn't very good at all.



That's all OoT 3DS sold?
  Was there even another reason to buy a 3DS aside from that game? Because I don't see it, no offence.
