Now lets look at the wiik little wii's non HD bluray having self. Wii Sports -- 12 weeks 1m+ units Wii Play -- 12 weeks just under 1m units. idiot. GUNDAM and RIDGE RACER both has beaten BLUE DRAGON (which was put on the same par as FF13) RESISTANCE is teh only FPS in JAP history to cross 100k........now it stands at 114k by the way ARMORED CORE has 76000 units. lets look at the hardware chart u buffoon DS116 172,750 (-8%) 15,390,500 Wii 12 62,500 (-13%) 1,649,500 PSP 115 36,500 (+16%) 5,104,250 ps3 15 21,250 (-26%) 693,500 ps2 364 17,000 (-4%) 22,027,500 x360 63 4,500 (-10%) 350,000 ..........................last console ..........total trash at $250 no one buys it in JAPAN BLUE RAY is the next gen format winner..........dont forget that .........x360's dvd drive cost $2.........lol

Between the bad grammar, I do not know what to say. 2 games beat BD on a system that's sold twice the H/W in Japan. Is that really all that amazing? It's to be expected. FYI, MC has 360 at a 10% increase versus famitsus -10% (far better than PS3s decrease). Lets look at the real picture......Worldwide. Resistance has sold around 100k units in Japan, and about 400k in the US. Lost Planet sold that much in the US alone, not counting Europe and Japan. Blue Dragon will do very well in the US and Europe, whereas RR7 hasnt and wont. Japan is a poor market for the 360, but the US is a poor market (right now) for the PS3. I guess thats why the 360 is at 9m+ and the PS3 is around 2m, eh? Kids gotta learn some basic math..... BD cost $25m or so to make. It's sold 130k units in Japan. At $20 a unit in profit, they've made about 10% of their budget back. Huge loss? absolutely. However, it still has the US and Europe to go. I assume BD will sell atleast 500k in the US and 200k in Europe. That puts it at about $20m profit (assuming $20 profit per unit)...And thats honestly the low end...Not including any more sales BD gets in Japan. Capcom estimated 1m units sold for LP. Capcom doesn't put games out for them to LOSE money, they put them out to MAKE money. Thats why LP sold so well in the US and Europe (yes, it sold well in Europe thus far). LP could hit 750-850k in the US alone. Thats quite a bit better than what Resistance will most likely sell in the US+Japan. You children need some english lessons and a brain. The game isnt over for ANY of the 3 systems. Each are doing well in their own perspective. Also, none of you must own 360s, because the DVD drives aren't bad at all. They have the same volume level as a PS3 does, or most any other optical drive....If all you can do is complain about the volume from a disk drive, you must either be really dumb to complain about something thats fixed by the volume button, or you just are the craziest fanboys in the world. Also, Kawaad and such, where are you on the top 20 prediction charts? I don't see you very high up there, therefore I assume none of you can really understand marketing....,
