I skipped MAG and Battlefield because I'm still playing MW2 every day and I don't have time for another shooter. I'm also not made of money so I'm planning to leave a few games until later in the year when they're cheaper.

This is precisely my thoughts.  I am going to play my friend's copy of BFBC2 and see if I like it, but I probably won't get it until the price drops.  For now, I play MW2 everyday-- I will probably get the mappacks too. 

 

 



 

Most anticipated games of 2011:

Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith

Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D

Reasonable on 11 March 2010

I'm always fascinated how any good new FPS seems to manage to give the 360 a little boost, I've gotta hand it to MS they've really got Live and 360 very well branded and marketed in US for that genre.

It's going to be close between PS3/360 this week I guess, as US gap could be close to Japan gap in PS3 favour so it might be down to Others to tip the scales - I'm guessing might be a statistical 'tie' this week.

Wii also up - supply issues previously?



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

And here people said the game industry was in trouble. Pffft........

why are you Pfffft........ing?  The games industry continues to sell record breaking amounts of software. And yet publishers are still going bankrupt and laying people off all over the place. 

 

I'd say that's exactly why people here say the game industry is in trouble.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

You realize that was layered with sarcasm, correct?

If not, then I'm here to tell you, it was.

How the hell could I know that? text written by anonymous individuals isn't exactly a good medium to express sarcasm. Usually it takes witty writing to get that across.

 

But wait what was the sarcasm for? What about these numbers would cause that sarcastic statement?

Good God, the difference for Battlefield is MUCH higher in favor of the 360 than I expected. O_O

My guess is the PC is starting to erode some of the core PS3 userbase for multiplats with a strong PC presence. Bad Company 2's origins are in the PC based Battlefield series and many of the PC/PS3 owners will probably be looking to try out DX11 on their spanking new Radeons.

This is the case for me.

Surprised the box had even one positive week in a month that will be dominated by PS3. The way Others has been moving I expect another small PS HD HW win overall. Yes, Ninty is king.

Pre-order charts will always be a little skewed towards the PS3 it seems. More spur otm walkin sales by 360 owners? Exclusive heavy hitters get more pre-orders and are more front-loaded obviously. GOW and FF will be interesting. Reach may show a similar effect at a lesser %.

So PC is making a comeback with the Radeon. We'll take your word on that with no nos.
Even company figures couldn't be used as ?% would be used for gaming. An estimate of high-end grafix cards might give an indication but this site only does console sales.

They sold 2M HD 58xx and 57xx cards in a single supply constrained quarter. Up until the end of the year. We'll have to wait for JPR for the total # of cards sold to the end of March 2010.



Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?

Umm it's pretty hard to buy the PS3 when you can't find it anywhere - Amazon shows only private sellers and Best Buy, etc, is completely out of stock for quite some time already.



Wonktonodi on 11 March 2010

hmm almost 68% bc2 360. how did the first compare?



GianCarmen on 12 March 2010

A friend who works at the Best Buy told me today that they cant even keep Wii's and Wii Fit in stock because they go so fast. She told me that they even have lines of people getting the Wii. She told me that they are gone within minutes as soon as they get them, they cant catch up to demand.
