GT5 is already bundled.  It hasn't seemed to help.

Not a themed bundle, obviously.

On that same note, DKC:R is on the highest selling Nintendo home console, yet sold the lowest in the series. Sometimes, things aren't always so clear cut.

Well, I'm not sure GT5 will see a Prologue-esque bundle (ie: given away free a year after release, doubling it's ltd).  That's actually never happened for a GT game before, they've gotten release timed bundles similar to GT5.

Honestly, I'd say there's even a better chance DKCR gets the NSMB treatment next year, and has a holiday bundle with a new color (Green?  Yellow?).

And uh, Wii isn't the highest selling home console in Japan (and it certainly won't be, it'll be lucky if it catches SFC at this point)?  Where are you  getting that from?

What Nintendo console sold higher in Japan than the Wii (this excludes the DS)? I didn't say Wii was the highest selling console in Japan, I said Nintendo's highest selling home console in Japan.

I'll look it up, which if I'm wrong, I have no trouble admitting it.

Famicom (~19m) and Super Famicom (~17m) are well ahead of Wii (~11m).  And they'll undoubtedly remain that way.

SO you are telling me that Vgchartz is more reliable than famitsu in japan, for the past games... when Vgchartz didn't exist????

Look, just wait a day or 2, and compare DKCR numbers with past games, when we get the numbers in. Until then, Famitsu is the most realiable source to use....

No. Not at all. I'm saying I can use VGC numbers for the data if I want to. If I want to spin something to make it suit my argument, I will use data I can get. This just so happens to be VGChartz data <3

And... No. I don't want to wait. It's pointless waiting. I want to argue about it now. That's just what I do. I need to have the final word. ;)

Ooooo i see.... not a surprise, you are actually learning something from sony i see

Ok, have a good one

I'm not the one who came into a thread with an aim of putting one game down and making the other look bigger than what it actually is. You're well known for doing things like this. So I honestly don't care :D

I'm not the one who did that either.  And I already asked you to stop the mudslinging.  Next time I'll simply report you.

You don't fool anyone, you know. Pretty much everyone who visits the sales forum who doesn't have there dick in a Wii knows what you do in sales threads. Especially if it's regarding something Sony. If calling you out on it gets me a ban... It will be so worth being away from here for a few Weeks.

I'm surprised I've lasted so long already to be honest. I've been mocking the shit out of you since I first quoted you. But yeah. I honestly couldn't care less if you did report me. I've been banned for much less.

Of course I read your post.  That's how I knew you were discounting a game you never played on the grounds of how it plays.  <3

In front of 3 other GT games or 3 other GT demos?  Does having only 20% new modeled cars make GT5 a demo now?

Tip - The word "unless" was put into my post for a reason. I wasn't being a total douchebag... Just part of one :)

And on this one. Where did I say GT5 was a demo? I didn't at all. I said it was infront of 3 other GT Games. You can call them demo's if you want. I'm pretty sure i will have done the same. if we can call GT5 a demo. Then wow. A demo of a game outsold DKCR Week 1

You didn't say GT5 was a demo... but you compared it to demos, so I made the logical conclusion you also considered GT5 a demo.  My mistake for using logic, obviously it has no place in this little tete-a-tete.

Read the edit.

I read it, but I'd posted first.  Sorry.

When you can't win on principle, make it personal?  Whatever works for you.

DK had an amazing start, it's NSMB Wii all over again.

Win on principal? What was to win? You gave one trackers numbers, I gave another.

You tried making GT5 look bad. I refuted your claims and called you out on what you were. You've gotten away with it for too long. If it gets me a ban for saying exactly what you do... It's honestly worth it.

Yes. Completely ignore the complete re-release at a much cheaper price. Spec III never sold a single copy!   >_>

 

Honestly, this thread has turned dumb. It's no longer about this weeks sales at all. It's all about past tracking, which service is right, and which person is reaching farther with this argument. See, I went and contributed above!
