MTV crap, EA Casino and Dr. OZ, is this what PS3 owners want?

I hope they don't announce a bunch of casual titles at E3 this year.  That would truly suck.

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

PSP and PS3 installed base is 61.3 million. Hmm....

Old numbers? 

VGC is at 62.47 million.

Hrm...

Pretty lousy effort if they couldn't get the most recent numbers... Shipment reports aren't far away fortunately.

That could be what PS3 owners want, lets see what the sales are for those. Releasing other types of games does not seem to be working, they need to try something.

 

I think 1 million difference is pretty good in estimation, also minus this week numbers and maybe last weeks too. Did you think VGC and any other estimation of sales from any other source will be exact, they all have different number of sources at different times.

That means likley some decent amount of overtracking.

10:19AM Wow.

10:19AM jeffrey katzenberg on stage. Dreamworks will begin authoring all of its films in 3D moving forward. All! Awesome. Monsters vs. Aliens about to be demoed.

10:17AM Watching 3D video demonstration of Pixar film and NFL. Impressive. An auditorium filled with 500 of the world's press wearing silly polarized glasses is even more so.

Since they have to complile them anyway it should be accurate and up to date. If you were under pressure from falling sales and you stock holders were pissed at you, would you announce lower than actual numbers for ANYTHING?

So yes, LBP and Shipment numbers are most likely corect and up to date.

 



Tease.

THat's where the "Hrm..." comes in at.  PSP/PS3 sold 400k so far this week, and 1 million last week.  So if the numbers are just a week old, then it's fine.

And if LBP numbers are over a week old, the sales would be at 1.65 million.

But we'll see...

Ea announces Ea sports for Home.

People still need to buy them I assume, since that is how they are getting money from home- that 1 million or something.

Home is that something different, lets see how it does the first full year it is out.
