I seen it too when conduit had poor sales and the ysay compared to KZ2 it got squished, that kind of talk I remember it well.


there was a huge thread here saying Conduit would outsell KZ2, There a thread how Blacks Ops Wii would sell on the same level as the PS3 since they were release at the same time. We let these things go because it doesnt matter, we know what the Wii can or can't sell.


Really.... I must have missed them. I wonder who created those threads... and who supported them too.....

imo wii is overtracked , i cant find a single reason why is outselling 2:1 the best selling console of November.


How do you know? Wii is on fire in the holidays you should know this.


i know... but 2:1????? is that possible, with kinect out there???


maybe kinect is selling mostly to existing 360 owners,  maybe wii has been out for 4 years and lots of people know about it where as not many know about kinect just yet.

I tried to tell people this but nobody seems to listen.. I seriously doubt that there are that many people willing to shell out $300 JUST for an add on that currently supports 16 games, and only has 3 or 4 with ratings over the 80% range.

Now in all fairness, 360 is still selling strongly, and I do actually believe it may be a little undertracked this week. However, the fact that Kinect is pushing all these 360s I believe is a myth. What's mainly pushing the consoles is the continued effect of the slimline model, which offers far more value as well as simply more reliable, as well as the mega hits Halo Reach and Black Ops. GAMES are what sells consoles, not peripherals

Your constant ignoring of Kinect's software is really annoying. I like how you ignore the fact that Kinect Sports OUTSOLD Halo this week. How does it make any sense that Halo is pushing sales while Kinect isn't, when it has an unbundled game selling more this week than its premier franchise. Maybe if you actually looked at things objectively instead of through your "Kinect sucks! I hate Kinect!" glasses, you would be a tiny bit more credible, instead of putting up an argument that can be refuted by anyone looking at the sales chart for more than 10 seconds.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Thanks to EMEAA it's not that bad. Not bad at all. 1,594,988 to go in 7 weeks. If it adds 600k for the following 2 weeks, less than 300k to go in 5 weeks. I kind of expect GT5 to outsell GT4's 10 week.


Euh...are you aware that GT4 wasnt launched during Christmas time?

dayum, GT5 is on a roll.

Yeah, the only way anything can roll is downhill. LMFAO.


It went up this week.

Can't even troll properly. Pathetic.

It was outsold by MKWII

Also, what he meant is that according to the laws of phisic, nothing can roll uphill


few things

1. as you obviously know it was a figure of speech..and things can roll uphill too with some force applied to it, or along the flat ground lol, but then again not sure what laws of phisic say about it

2. Never knew GT5 was competing with MKwii to be compared? Not for the same audience, might as well compare FPS on HD consoles to Wii ones. ;)

Seriously this pathetic GT5 trolling every week is getting annoying, the game is doing just fine in sales. Should hit 4-4.5 mil by years end I guess, which are great numbers.


oo0o0oo 0oo0o o0o0 hoho hoho hoho ... they do it already


LOL you're joking right? show me how many posts in this thread that talk about how the HD FPS sales are bitch slapping the wii FPS sales this week? how many posted side by side comparisons of COD ps3/360 vs COD Wii?

So no, there are plenty of games and genre's that can be compared to try and show how weak wii can be in those departments, but that's useless.


1.- Not, no joke here.

2.- I wasn't talking about people doing it in this thread. They've done it in the past, and I know you have seen it.

3.- And no, I don't have time to look for posts to show you. You are a capable man, if you are interested, you can do it yourself. But everyone here has seen it, you know, I know it... everyone knows it.


1. good to hear

2. well we are in this thread, talking about game sales this week, people have done and said a lot of crap in the past, on all sides. I don't care or want to go back months or years back in time to see x individual said this etc etc. I see what's being said now and I respond to it.

3. you made the comment, you need to back it up, I won't do it for you, as I'm sure you are a capable man who surely can back up what he says. HD fans have more than enough ways to downplay aspects of Wii which aren't as strong as theirs in this thread as well. Good example, Modern Warfare 2 360 outsold WII: black ops this week. But why don't they do it? Why don't they do that silly comparison followed by a 'lol'? cuz no one cares cuz they all know what the wii can and can not do. it's of no use to compare those.

If HD fans do the same nonsense as some of you do every week these threads would be way worse.

Again, I never said people said it in this thread, so you are wrong in that part. I just said that people do it, and that's nothing but true fact.

No, I don't need to back up anything, I'm not writing a paper or an essay to get a grade. And you are mistaken... people make comparissons all the time.... and I know you have seen it. Yesterday? A week ago?  a month ago? Doesn't matter. That's why I dont need to give any links, b/c I know you have seen it before, as well as almost everyone in this thread. And that was my point... I never said people did it today, in this very same thread; I just said people do it.

 

And of course HD fans are quiet right now... but just go back a few weeks/months ago and you will see that HD fans were saying "wii doomed" every single sales thread there was.

 

Don't be a hypocrite please. Everybody knows what goes on in these forums.

Yeah we saw those incredible sales of PS3 that were pushed by GT5.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

If GT5 can pull off 400,000 next week in EMEAA, it has 4 mill WW in the bag (this without US numbers). I can see 4.7-5mill by year's end, because I think it'll go up a bit Christmas week in the US and hold steady in EMEAA till Jan. Which could mean 5 mill in just a month of market time!


GT5 is at 3.6 Million right now ... so it will need two 700,000 weeks. I think EMEAA should be close to the 450,000 - 500,000 mark. Japan should be around 15,000 - 20,000. And I think the US can sustain atleast
120,000 - 150,000 for the holidays. I think it'll be close to 5 Million.



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