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.

If we take exchange rates in consideration, the EMEAA sales help sony much more than NA sales... so it's "good" to be third there and 2nd or 1st(in some cases, as in Brazil) for everywhere else (besides UK and some others) as this assure more money to them =]
