Hello again Jay. I'll keep my critique of this as short as possible:
1. I too question your inclusion of digital sales into this. I see you justified it by saying "if we know digital sales, why not?" Well, a whole load of reasons why not. But anyway, if we're including digital sales then I presume you searched every single game in every single one of these series on google to check if there was any digital sales data for them. Failing that, I'd hope that you checked PSN/XBL to see how many ratings each game had and added this number to the total. (I am joking, of course. But I'm just trying to demonstrate what a can of worms you can open by including digital sales while using numbers from a site that tracks only physical sales. One or the other would be what I'd suggest, but it's your call)
2. Souls isn't a WRPG series. It's made in Japan. It's a JRPG if anything.
3. Your F1 number for PS3 is wrong. You've got it at 3.13m, but the figure should be 3.74m, you're forgetting Formula One Championship Edition (I only know this game because Psygnosis developed it, to be fair).
4. The two PS3 SOCOM games have sold more than the Army of Two series (for this week at least :P)
5. The Atelier games for PS3 have sold more than Disgaea.
5. You're forgetting Civilization Revolution for both PS3 & 360 'strategy' lists.
6. Also, what would you class "The Sims" series as? I'd consider it a strategy. And if you did too, then it would make revisions to all three of these lists.
7. Finally, if I'm being really fussy, I think it would be a good idea to include how many games are counted towards each of these numbers. You know, so when you see the difference between say - C&C on 360 and on PS3, you realise it's because it's 1 game vs. 3. But that's probably too much work.
Nevertheless, quite a good effort. |
1. If people can find information that will change any of the above on digital then send it to me. I used what I had available to me.
2. Souls is a WRPG made by a japanese developer. WRPG is a genre not a region.
3. I will update F1
4. i will also replace Army of Two with Socom. It is a 30k difference but none the less I will change it.
5. Will replcae Digaea with Atelier
6. I may do the simulation genre if there is enough of them although i doubt there is. My goal was to represent a big percentage of the games and seeeing as how i managed to includ over 50% of all sales in this thread I feel i did that. It is not a competition but as I said I will add simulation if there enough games.
7. Once again this is not a competition. people who are viewing as such I will not change things just so one group of people can feel better than the other.
@ Your last comment....Wow. This took me about 3-5 hours to put all this together. I have not seen someone do this so if there is a few mistakes then fine, i will fix them. Most people who has said anything has nit picked genres which is redundant. You brought forth things that was wrong and I will fix them. i dont claim to be perfect and I will update errors but no reason to criticise something I doubt anybody would have taken the time to do in the first place. I gave no analysis in the first place. Just data
