Killzone 3 continues to look unimpressive.Really looking like a pretty poor launch for an exclusive shooter.

Pokemon is a monster.

Gears of War 3 at number 3 with no launch date and still a long way away. Pretty crazy stuff.

I think Gears 3 will probably rape the other GoW games for FW and lifetime sales....seriously Epic has to really eff things up to make it sell around what the other one's sold.


why are you comparing its sales to god of war, what does god of war have anything to do with it

edit: oh, ur talking about gears of war (GeoW)



killzones pre orders make me a sad panda



Looks like Pokemon is doomed to fail.

Yeah I totally agree plus the Beta and everything will bring even more hype to it.  I think 7 million is pretty much guaranteed and while 10 million seems excessive its not out of the question.  I don't personally predict that it'll hit 10 but its certainly possible.

Dissapointed with KZ3 numbers.

And where the fuck is infamous 2 -____________________-

Come on Sucker Punch give us the special edition already.



Hmmm did they send Bulletstorm out to die on PS3? KZ3 is going to take all the oxygen out for the Bulletstorm launch on PS3. They would have been better to delay by 3 or 4 weeks because there's nothing I know of that's going to dampen 360 sales. The 360:PS3 pre-order ratio of BS is worse than the Dragon Age II 360/PS3 ratio and that's a pretty large pre-order ration by itself.

A game with equal popularity on both systems should have a 360:PS3 ratio of 1.63:1. Dragon Age's is 2.47:1 Bulletstorms is at least 2.54:1 and possibly larger. I can imagine 2 possible reasons: PS3 owners don't really know Epic very will so they aren't primed by their association with BS to get the game; or people who are likely to buy BS are also likely to buy KZ3 and they are going with KZ3 over BS in large numbers. Could be a combination of both.

There's not many games that really hit that equal popularity ratio. Most games are skewed to one sytem or another. Deadspace 2 was pretty close, slightly skewed towards PS3 at 1.36:1. COD Black Ops was quite skewed to 360 at 2.12:1.

I reckon anything skewed more than 2.63:1 has a popularity problem on PS3, and of course anything that actually favours PS3 (e.g. Mortal Kombat at the moment) has a popularity problem on 360. So I reckon there's a good chance of Bulletstorm not being as popular on PS3 as it should.

Its all true but this only counts for launches though. Time and time again the PS3 audience has shown to have much larger legs than the 360 audience. Games on the 360 are just really front loaded when compared to the PS3. But in this case, they are both FPS games and its obvious for PS3 owners to pick KZ3 over BS. Its like if bayonetta and God of War III came out in the same day. 



Killzone 3 will do fine. I predict a 350-400K FW in America itself.

EMEAA I can't tell.
