ACtually looking deeper on the chart I see Ico and shadow not doing as good as I thought it would! That is strange!  For an Xbox game, and the 360 slowly doing what its doing over there that seems pretty good for Japan and the 360! We will have to see what the sales will amount to.


I guess you are right! It only did mediocre in Japan.

10) Gears of War 3 (X360) - 15,000

But I wonder if that included Amazon sales?

Why wouldn't it include Amazon sales.



thats wht happens when you break records.

I dont know. The Amazon chart says it was number 2.  by the way...Ther are only three people posting right now. MarcusD is the other. 86 members online right now!

Uh-oh some baby seals just died! (don't know if you remember that)

 

But yeah Amazon sales mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. In fact the reason it was probably #2 on Amazon is because many stores in Japan don't sell the 360 or games anymore



microsoft havn't released the numbers yet because it obviously didn't meet there expetations! gears isn't halo and they should know that by now

wow! you are right. At least it is good to know that people still want the 360 enough over there to order online.

That's hardly comforting considering the sad state of affairs over their concerning the 360 :PP

You know what! I just discovered that we can write in others comments a few minutes ago, and now I see you doing it here! Cool!


i've started doing it because of long post and the seizures i had last yr f'd up my short (and most long) term memory, but i always new you could. i saw it being done all last yr and this yr.

i did it in that post because it was convenient lol.

What were there expectations? It is getting great word of mouth, so I think it will hold on for a while! 2.5 million to 3 million is my prediction. That should be good. This sales thing is very weird.


they expect 4m playing online by the weekend! which is a big overshoot! gears will do amazing prob 2.5m-2.8m fw but not 4m

Well thank you for showing me an example. .....and never be my waiter! If that is a sensitive subject just forget that last joke.

you know i love jokes and sarcasim and wht nots. nothing has changed since i last posted so forget about it??(reference intended)! i'm not some pansy, or delicate flower, and i'm going to need a big tip, besides the only thing i know thats sensitive is the clitorous lol!
