Didnt they say it would be over 5 million first week? I remember hearing that somewhere,its non sense KZ2 is doing fine.

 



you got a good shot of winning this seece as L4D could also see some EU bundles this years seeing how las year 360 had a ton of bundles there

wat happen to the L4D sales i think there were adjustments b/c it was doing a solie 30k in NA weekly and now its down to 18k

i always have problems predicting it in the league i cant get good data on it

^ i actually see antfrom winning this one because i forsee an adjustment of upwards of 300k to l4d sales.

valve shipped 3million orange boxes. Now we only have 1 million accounted for. If brett was off by 100% that would be 1million copies for PC which would be 33:67 ratio versus 360 and ps3. same situation since the orange box was availble on steam.... actually the comparison favors the ps360 since halflife and episode 1 were already availble to the PC. In order for these ratos to match up brett must of undertracked orange box by 300% and all of them must be on the 360 ... which doesnt sound plausible... i think brett overtracking l4d by 15% sounds more reasonable (maybe more) also let me point out that the 16:84 ratio for NA to EU doesnt look right either.

IE - Bioshock 43:57, Halo 3(Which should have a more favorable ratio for NA than any title) 27:73, CoD4 - 28:72, CoDWaW - 30:70, CoD2 - 25:75, CoD3 - 31:69, GRAW - 30:70, R6V - 38:62, GRAW2 - 35:65, FC2 - 49:51, PDZ - 42:58, BFBC - 40:60, 007QS - 44:56

sorry seece but all signs point to overtracking in NA for L4D. The average EU:NA ratio for 360 FPS' is 36:64 ... even taking 300k from NA would make the ratio for L4D 19:81 which still looks unreasonable to me. i would suggest to take 300k from sales and take away 200k from na and add it to eu to make a 30:70 split

At the end of the year Left 4 Dead will still be above Killzone 2 in sales.

 

Currently:

 

Left 4 Dead - 2.03 Million

Killzone 2 - 1.24 Million

 

If by the end of the year Left 4 Dead has higher sales than Killzone 2 I win, if Killzone 2 has higher sales than Left 4 Dead you win :)

Edit - Oh yeah the usual prize, control of losers signature for a month.

 

first, this bet is extremely unfair for many reasons. The most prominent is that L4D had special deals going on at Gamestop(main US retailer) that had the game drop to like 20 bucks for a short period of time. That is when that game started selling so well. Killzone 2 will probably still be 60bucks new by the end of the year, just like Uncharted and Heavenly Sword.

Just like all your other anti 360 propagander you fit whatever you're given to suit your needs. Wish away Max but no adjustment are coming and I am going to win this.

The bet is fair, do you even understand the concept of a bet? I could bet you Haze 2 will overtake Halo 3, its unlikely to happen and its got a lot going against it BUT it is THE bet and that is how it stands.

 

Like others have said this can go either way, stop your whinging its not your bet.
