I'm surprised at the extent of the KZ3 boost for a relatively low week 1. Was there something else that bumped PS3 in addition to KZ3? The LG dispute hadn't hit before 26 Feb, so there's no panic buying factor in EMEAA, that should hit in this weeks stats.

PS3 Bulletstorm numbers amply demonstrate the idiocy of releasing a new FPS IP against KZ3. What was EA thinking? I get this horrible feeling that there was something intentional in sending Bulletstorm out to die on PS3. Has there been a multiplat shooter that's failed so badly on PS3 yet opened reasonably well on 360? I can't believe BS would have done this badly on PS3 if it was released with a bit of daylight between it and a PS3 exclusive shooter that appeals to the same sort of demographic.

That's EA's ignorance/arrogance. They stated that they wanted to release something that would "fuck with killzone"...
hmm. Gears of War 3 Beta also helped greatly for 360

Finally the 8th generation has started. The 7th generation was starting to drag out. Feels good seeing a new console up there.

Also MVC3 sales aren't that good, I guess people aren't really into fighting games that much these days. It's a shame since MVC3 is my favourite game this year so far. Hopefully it'll reach Capcom's 3 million prediction.

Did people really expect PS3 owners to buy both KZ3 and Bulletstorm in the same week?

I must say it's not a bad launch for Bulletstorm on X360. I thought it would be worse. I hope it will hit at least 1 m on X360 because I want to play the sequel on my X360 in two years. Game is awesome and fresh.
