wiidomination & dsdomination all the way!!, Jokes aside, that was a good week for games in general, hopefully the numbers will remain this high for the holiday season--- 1mill DK next week!!!

I didn't mean Move itself, more PS3/Move combo compared to 360/Kinect combo.   I do think in UK for sure Kinect has appealed more to existing owners than Move.  I'm actually feeling that both Kinect/Move have appealed to existing owners more than Sony/MS might have thought vs new owners.  It's always the standalone versions of each that are hard to get vs bundles.

Was... but we are celebrating UC2 here

this would make more sense to me if both consoles were made by the same manufacturer. It´s just like if we combined wii and 360 sales (either the hardware or the casual games they might have) and compared them to ps3.

it´s not like microsoft and sony are together in a crusade to get marketshare from wii. Each manufacturer cares only about themselves.

(Sorry if it somehow sounds rude)

Next weeks don't have BF, so if Sony advertse it heavily maybe we can see a great holiday season to GT5?

Sure wii sports , resort , wii play and wii fit have always been tied to hardware (wii fit because of the balance board), but mario kart wii and nsmbwii each sold over 20 and 16 million respectibly before been even bundled (the wii wheel doesn´t count since it´s just a piece of plastic). even wii sports resort sold over 15 mill before been bundled to the console( it IS bundled with motion plus though)

Funnily enough I've finally seen some adverts in UK post launch.  I wonder if Sony has decided to let it launch relatively quietly (from a marketing viewpoint)  then spend the money to try and double dip for Christmas in EMEA by using post launch marketing coupled with gift purchasing to drive a second spike.

I mean, GT5 should still see good sales in EMEA until 25th, but it does feel like the marketing push is only beginning now rather than prior to launch.

I can never make head nor tail of Sony marketing strategies TBH.  They always seem to fox me with how they go about it.  Apart from KB ads in US.  Those are good, clear and consistent.  But elsewhere?  Hard to fathom.

And they tend to sell better than Xbox "1st" parties and some "2nd" (not the FPS ones of course)

And the 1st and 2nd do really well compared to multi-plats... the power of dedication... even more when we compare FW and LTD for the 3 cases... 1st and 2nd are much more LEGgggggggggggzzzz and 3nd usually are Front Loaded.

360 and PS3 share a lot of multiplatforms which aren't available on wii. I like those multiplatforms more than anything on wii.

So, HD consoles gaining marketshare makes me happy.

I think they randomizely choose which game will be advertised in launching or after... this is how i can explain GT5 not having none and MNR having long before (maybe because is a new IP based on the sucess of LBP).

KB in US just the week before and Pre-order really staled i can see with WW advertising it rising and maybe being flat over the Holiday selling just a little lower than FW (with th normal fall expected), perhaps hitting 5M WW to the end of the year, 8M 2011 and 10~12M LTD depending on how long take to GT6 launch and bundles.
