Carl does!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Why would torne move hardware? Surely their are better and cheaper dvrs that don't require you have a ps3. I can see it succeeding as a peripheral, but not as a driver of ps3 sales.

Beating up?

Is PS3 stealing Japan's lunch money?

I can see the spike being more cuz of that peripheral that works as a DVR than cuz of the sequel so yes, I will also say that sequels don't sell hardware!

The Japan preview is way off again.

It didn't even mention torne.
It also underestimated Yakuza 4 (a bit).

I sense some Nintendo bias in the Japan preview.



Looking forward to: FF Versus XIII / LBP2 / The Last Guardian / Yakuza 4 / ICO Collection

I like the clear and concise, perfectly logical deductions you've made here. Instead of approaching the preview under the mindset that it is an early preview with estimates, you've instead concluded that any numbers that are off are that way because the staff is clearly biased for Nintendo. Your evidence is undeniable and your claims are humble. What would we do without more outlooks like this on the site?

Apparently it sold 62000 units, where 25% came from PS3 bundles... so it did move quite some hardware
