you are making a minor point ... like if it was a BIG point
we like to check hardware sales/week but at the end, they are irrelevant
what matters is the long term, the whole library etc ...

BTW, becuase they are not focusing on FFXIII, they can focus on GoW3 ALL their marketing ressource and being independant of a third party publisher (while MS is spending money on FFXIII for a "lost" cause). I Even believe that FFXIII would have satyed exclusive it would have even more bashed by the media/fanboys ...

Also, about the "low stock in US", at BEST, it is only 100k/month that they do not sell ... nothing amazing particularly if they still lose money on hardware.
Also, what is "rare" become "precious" ...

So what do you say about Sony spending money on lost causes like Madden? Because you know, Sony never does anything like what Microsoft did with FFXIII, ever.

I never said that this way : MS bad vs Sony good.

It is a question of momentum : for example, with GoW3, they dont need FFXIII because they have their game so it is better to keep money (bundle+ads) on GoW3 and to not waste money for FFXIII (bundle+ads) ... that is my point.

if GoW3 was not released at the same time than FFXIII, thing would be different...
