Forums - Sony Discussion - Holy cow! Call of Duty is at 740k for the PS3!

I think microsoft are better at hypeing and marketing games than sony, so when microsoft hypes or markets a multiplatform game like AC or CoD4 the hype also helps the PS3 sales, so a multiplatform game (at the moment) will sell more on PS3 than an exclusive PS3 game will.

Thats my theory which I just thought up about 20 seconds ago.

uncharted is just a limited release, expect much bigger sales next week 120k-150k USA only.

Everyone said the same about R&C....


Did they? I am sure that Uncharted was not available in a lot of stores but about R&C I don't know.


Ps3 fans did... they said the same thing "omg it was only available on a couple stores for a few days! expect more for next week!"

We would need to check past news/comments about american charts to find those claims tho.


 Ratchet was released WIDELY on the Tuesday before (23rd) Id HARDLY compare that EB/Gamestop starting to sell it on Thursday. To mostly those with preorders.

Or maybe its because about 60% of ps3 owners are on the PSN and they are gamers that have heard about those games being better than uncharted or the other ps3 exclusives. 

 



 

mM

well some PS3 owners also have 360 and some will choose a multiplat for the 360, an exclusive should sell more.

Yeah and Wii fans said the same thing about SMG and Zack & Wiki, So?


 Not really to be honest. But im not the one that made such bet like yours.

 

Really, knowing that people said the reason for Zack and Wiki sales being so low was because most stores didn't have it and you had to wait until next week to get it and all this nonsense. In fact I believe it was posted in some thread when the games sales came up.

 



Quack!

I'll bet my avatar and a 1 month ban that the PS3 by March 08 will be 3 Million units away in WW sales of the Wii. konnichiwa, Your gonna regret this!!!!!!

 While it is true that the excuse was thrown around for Zack and Wiki, I have seen no one use it to explain the "poor" SMG sales. Regardless, that does not change the fact that the excuse is stupid. The point of making the original comparison was to show how it is unlikely to be true. Your comment is nothing but flame bait at best.
