Not sure why 1 million sellers is the focus.
Software in general for the 2 360 is eating PS3 alive. PS3 has no chance of selling more software than the 360. That doesn't include the huge digital sales 360 gets either compared to the lackluster PSN sales. |
Uh no, it is certain PS3 is closing the gap in software numbers. Sony releases how many PS3 games have been shipped, Microsoft don't. The numbers could be very close.
|
Its totally irrelavant how many games Sony ships since it only makes money if the game actually sells a lot of those games shipped will eventually be send back to Sony if they are not sold.
|
No. Sold=sold to Sony, shipped games do not go back to Sony, thats why when a game sells like shit it gets pricecuts. And yes, shipped IS relevant becoz those are the only official numbers we get. Eventough not all shipped games are actually sold, the shipped numbers still increase becoz of new games, wich means actual sold to customer increase aswell.

I guess you never worked in retail. Unsold invetory like games and movies will eventually be send back to manufactures if all unsold games would be heavily discounded as soon as they are not sold then their would be no incentive for consumers to buy new merchandise. Trust me a lot of unsold inventory gets send back to manufactures which then send it to none mainstream retailers and outlet chains that sell it at a heavily discounted price. Or if a game really bombs like ET on the Atari 2600 it will just get destoyed and dumbed somewhere.
|
yeah, but games never go back to Sony or publishers. Sold=sold
|
Shipped does not mean sold. I worked in retail before and unsold inventory does get send back to manufactures all the time don't believe me ask some people that work in retail about it. Did you even read my response. Also I guess you never heard about ET on the Atari 2600 million of unsold copies got destroyed and buried in a New Mexico landfill. Unsold merchandise gets send back, dumbed or destroyed all the time the only think that doesn't apply to is big pieces of merchandise like automobiles. Also like I said before their would be no incentive for customers to buy new merchandise if all they had to do is wait a couple of weeks for every unsold piece of merchandise to be heavily discounted.

Wow... Shipped IS sold, they won't go back. Don't give me the ET case becoz it got send back for being the worst game in history and the famous gaming crash back then. The reasons being the saturation of the market and the many low quality games. Whats that got to do with todays shipment numbers? You didnt understand me, new games will eventually be discounted, maybe not weeks after release but maybe months or years. That doesnt mean they will go back to the publisher. There are so many non-used games from even 4 5 years ago on the shelves but heavily discounted. Hell, I can even find new PS2 games on the shelves.
