How about instead you just put an asterisk on those games. This will allow you to compare how games sold.

You seem to imply that because I don't use the forum much, that this makes me a non-member or an outsider. I think your wrong on that. As for my use of (We) in my topic title...I didn't realize people were going to get so sensitive to that. In no way did I mean that I own this site or have any percentage of ownership in this site. But I am a member and I do contribute my views and insights a good deal in the news section. Now, I think this is a valid point which does belong in an open forum. And I have the right to share this point of view with you weather I have no posts or 10,000 posts. |
Well when I write something, then write a comment about this sentence and then I add a smiley, it might indicate that I'm sarcastic.
I don't really care what you write in thread titles, especially because most of the thread titles on this page do have something to mock about.
But the reason why I wrote it is that my approach to this topic is sarcastic. It is such a minor topic but it has been discussed so many times already that it's just not funny anymore.
hm.. Saturday already? Alright. Time for the weekly "No, no I don't think we should remove bundled games"
There. Well, see you in a week everyone!
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

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.
If it is possible for ioi to track the different sales of the multiple PS3/360 SKUs(and thus figure out exactly how many people get Forza/Marvel or Motorstorm with their console) then i would agree with Munkeh1 to have some kind of "opt out" tick box.
As is it with no distinguishing between them (though it is fairly obvious 95%+ of Forza/Marvel/Motorstorm are the bundled versions) I would say an asterisk is an OK idea (and ame for any bundled DS/PSP games)
I however really don't care, if you really think that without Wii sports other Wii games would still sell the same then fine, take it out by simple math (or a calculator for those who cannot subtract)
They should not be taken out of the charts all together

i think they should be distinguished from non bundled software somehow, or just get rid of them altogether. the way it is now is stupid.

There are very strong arguments for keeping bundled software in the charts, and a few really weak ones for removing them.
Also, sales charts are not about revenue, so "no money is earned from those games" is not a valid argument (even if it was true, which it isn't). Sales charts are sales charts.

I don't agree with keeping bundles in...
But, it is ioi's site and he has the final say (For the 1,000th time).
The only comment I have is when new people come to the site and see that 4 of the 10 best selling games are bundled what do they think about as far as wanting to visit again? They want to see the top 10 changing... Call of Duty 4, Assasin's Creed, and Guitar Hero III would be in the top 5 if bundles were removed, thereby putting them on the front page of the site...
Just food for thought.

In that case, maybe we should put a naked chick there too? :P
