YESSSSSS........ KEEP GOING GT5...... And lets not forget kinect (unleash the beast) :)



Around the Network

Not trying to start an arguement but people bring up the 500 million advert budget for Kinect a lot...

Just a question, is there any proof that the whole 500 million is being used just for the launch, holidays, first year, etc.??



Oh....and nice to see Kinect doing well in certain countries (Sweden, UK...)

Oh, not trying to start right... yea yea :)

I just used the 500m fact as an example, you should have kept this idea into your mind and not post, that's right...

To actually answer your question, no the $500 million is not all going to be spent this holidays. That would be crazy. I think the punditry is suggesting 500 million over the first 12 months of the product's life.

I think the less commonly held opinion about GT5 was that it would be a system seller. People suggesting those who wanted GT5 already mostly bought GT5P. Given how close PS3 sales are this year compared to last year I think GT5 is good for several thousands of PS3 sales each week.

Nintendo dominates pre-Xmas week sales

MCV chart analysis shows unit sales for Nintendo console games almost half the market; Wii beats 360 and PS3

So in our chart analysis of games sales during the last big spending week before Christmas has shown Black Ops at No.1, with Wii Fit Plus and Just Dance claiming No.1s of their own.

We've seen PS3 score a huge chunk of the top ten sales - in the face of a fairly stagnant market.

But perhaps the biggest success last week went to Nintendo's.

More games were sold for the Wii during the week ending December 18th than any other platform - the console scored almost 30 per cent of the market in unit sales terms last week, putting it just ahead of 360 and with some distance between it and PS3.

Plus, when you include DS unit sales, Nintendo formats claim almost half the week's software sales.

(In value terms, it's actually Xbox on top in terms of single formats due to the higher price of the software, but Nintendo formats overall still come out on top when combined in that sense.)

It's a wake-up call for anyone that has supposed Wii and DS have lost momentum - even if there has been a challenging year-on-year in terms of hardware sales for the market, DS is still the bestselling console, and software for both platforms has been strong.

There are four Nintendo exclusives in top ten of the chart that decides the Xmas No.1 after all - Wii Fit Plus, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Professor Layton and the Lost Future, plus Ubisoft's Just Dance 2.
