Color me shocked. DKC:R beat GT5?

Amazing isn't it?

 

Ps3 3rd, when its biggest game launched? :O

In NA though, it's not PS3's biggest game. Had it gone up against something like God of War or MGS, I could see that. But in NA, GT isn't that big, especially on first weeks. I do admit that GT5 is lower than I thought, but as they say, it's a leg franchise. In the end, GT5 should have the higher sales throughout.

Btw, does anyone know what GT4 did on it's first week?

But but... it's 3rd WW, so is not just NA.

But..................it's not 3rd in every region WW, in fact 2nd in most. So again, the US (the place where Sony took the biggest lost) is the cause (you know, the place where GT5's opening week had the lowest impact).

If DKC:R beats GT5 WW, then your point would fit.

Wtf? I just said that DK did amazing in the US.

The 3rd place part is only about hardware. And it doesn't matter how you brake it down, ps3 is 3rd WW, and at the end, it is the only thing that matters... WorldWide sales.

So my point still stands... Ps3 is 3rd place WW when its biggest game launched. Simple as that... I don't really see how my point doesn't fit.

The reason I said anything about DKC:R is because of your words to dunno. GT5 lost to it in a region that it was never projected to dominate.That's really not all that shocking.

Also, it's not like GT5's boost was felt the same WW, which is what you aren't factoring in. Releasing on Black Friday week put it in direct competition (in the States specifically) with the Wii & 360 (a place where almost everyone accepted that GT5 would have the least impact). Nobody knew just how strong the 360 would be in the States this week. I really did think PS3 had a shot @ at least 2nd place this week, but underestimated the 360.

So yes, PS3 did come in 3rd place, but mainly due to little impact in the region where it was dead last for the week (a region not GT heavy). And when you quoted dunno, all numbers hadn't even gotten in yet.

Im getting dizzy with all the spin going on....

Yes my words to dunno where "amazing isnt it?" Because I thought GT will sell better than DK... and I belive most people here thought the same. I never saw a single comment on DK selling more than GT on it's release (NA).

I don't really know, and neither i care, about how GT5 boost the ps3 in one region or another, so I can't really factor that in, and neither can you, b/c no one knows. What matters at the end are raw numbers... Ps3 being on 3rd when most people expected the ps3 to be at least in 2nd (you know why? Because they expected a bigger impact thanks to GT5) and some of them even expected to be at first place.

I'm sorry but if these numbers are final, both GT5 and Ps3 performed a little lower than people expected... you included. Ps3 came in 3rd when GT5 released WW..... there's no other way to say it.

And eventhough all the numbers weren't up, we already had MC numbers to give us an idea
