Forums - Sales - VGC's Black Friday PS3 software sales are pretty unbelievable :/

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)
Sony Computer Entertainment
59 10,681 1,873,222

Uncharted 2...its was bundled by Walmart and Amazon for Black Friday...and only less than 10k of them were sold ? This is not much of a boost from last week :/

God of War III (PS3)
Sony Computer Entertainment
37 9,236 1,959,342

God of War Collection (PS3)
Sony Computer Entertainment
54 9,118 1,224,552

Gamestop had a bundle for God of War III and God of War Collection with a 160GB PS3 for $299.....was there really less than 9k bundles in the Americas ? :O

Also both titles were discounted, with GoW III going for $40 at some retailers and GoW Collection supposedly having massive sales at $10. I find it hard to believe that they sold so little.

Best Buy bundled LBP and Modnation Racers... MNR sold less than 1107 copies this week.

How many of these 400k plus PS3s were bundles from Walmart, Gamestop, BestBuy, etc. etc. ?

I really think there is something wrong with these numbers....Hell, what do I know about sales tracking ? But I have a feeling that something is not right here....

I'd like VGC to clarify this ? Thanks.

And please don't think that I'm trolling VGC numbers...I'm just confused on how these sales could be that low....that is all.

I saw in the american numbers thread, someone mentioned they weren't tracking bundles. But the confusing thing is, they tracked the bundles last yr....so i don't know.

Actually they do count bundles look @ kinect adventure.

This was just brought up in the NA UP thread.

Very strange numbers. It's like they have been completely missed on the tracking.

LBP was boosted by 7k

Uncharted 2 was boosted by 4k

God of War 3 was boosted by about 2k

God of War Collection boosted by about 3k

Ratchet was boosted by about 6k

In 2009 yes

But LBP definitely has appeal to everyone...not just kids. I hope no parents picked it up....lol

But who am I to say that ? I was ripping heads off in Mortal Kombat when I was 7....I used to whine to my cousin about not being able to beat Goro....ROFL...I was scared of him....

What were we talking about again ? :/



I'm wondering aswell. But could that make PS3 hardware undertracked aswell ? I guess I'll have to wait for an answer from ioi.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Slaughterhouse Is The Sh*t  .... NOW ........ B_E_L_I_E_V_E

hey same here,infact everyone used to be like that! , i mean parents used to scare the living daylights out of kids just for shits and giggles and having good family fun, we used to watch slasher gory b-movies at night, it was fun, now they're being very very protective which actually make kids way too fragile for their own good, what is halloween supposed to be nowadays? harry potter cosplay?

being overprotective will make your children grow up not knowing anything about anything.
