same numbers last year

PS3 81k - UP 5k = UP 6% (KZ2 boost?)

360 47k - UP 60k = UP 127% (Halo Wars boost?)

Wii 127k - UP 53k = UP 41% (xyz game boost?)

DS 264k - DOWN 64k = DOWN 25%

PSP 79k - DOWN 13k = DOWN 16%

Really interesting numbers there. If that is the KZ2 boost that is pretty poor really as that only just beats last years number where the top PS3 game was, wait for it....Unreal Torney 3 with a whopping 45k sold.

 

What? Comparing last year's numbers to judge KZ2 and Halo Boost ? Now I have seen it all

 

We'll then you have seen it all haven't you. Don't need me to explain to you that if those games are to be accounted for the boost (boosts don't happen for no reason) then it proves that the industry may have peaked. If it needs games to just match a pretty poor week last year games wise for at least PS3 and 360 then that tells you something doesn't it. Because if it was increasing then by having games out should destroy a pretty poor week sales right? Especially the A card for Sony this year and a game with Halo in it? Again if those are the boosts especially for PS3 then that means after the boost dies down (1-2 weeks) then numbers are going to go down a lot compared to last year.
