Suck it 360 148k in America was not enough, which means Killzone 3 had a major impact.

@binarysolo  didnt FEAR 2 release around the same time as KZ2??? people dont learn. is anyone shocked that KZ3 beat Bulletstorm that badly? im talking the 360 version as well.


No, because Killzone is 3rd gen game against a new IP so I am sure no one is surprised that KZ3 is beating BulletStorm combined.  Actually if Bulletstorm did beat KZ3 then that would be huge.

okay killzone 3 numbers if it had better advertising it could have done 800k a lot of people didn't like killzone 2 so many people did not buy killzone 3. i can't belive gt5 and black ops numbers aren't updated! vgchartz is really starting to piss me of it's been a month now! plus the numbers come so much later now days

Yeah you can't access that data even on the games' individual pages rite?

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.

Its probably due to the fact that there are a lot more multiconsole hardcore owners these days and anyone with both the Xbox 360 and PS3 would get the 360 version due to the Gears 3 beta. Bulletstorm is a hardcore game so that supports the idea that the hardcore audience would get the best platform. It wasn't Killzone 3 which ate Bulletstorms sales as much as it was Bulletstorn 360 version.

Maybe, but Dead Space 2 including Dead space extraction did not cause higher sales for the PS3.   I do not care for gears online , I only like the campaign. So when I pick up Bulletstorm I wiill still buy it for PS3.

Hardly anyone had Move at the time. That hardly makes it a compelling reason to get it on PS3 over Xbox 360.



Tease.

Looking at home consoles, ps3 has beaten both the WIi and the 360 6/9 weeks this year.  It has come out on top overall 3/9 weeks this year, with either the Wii ro the 360 taking those other weeks.

Total sales for the three are:

PS3 - 1,817,179
360 - 1,677,025
Wii - 1,676,899

Kinda surprising given the holiday season.

A testicular pie between Wii and DS!   

Also, wasn't SW that sells HW? And does 3DS launch best seller sell just 120k? I'm puzzled...

Hahaha yeah you got the 360 on that one!  Cause this week was for the Video Games Championship of The World and ps3 came out on top!  With an amazing never seen before opening week "major impact" by Killzone 3 of 500,000 sales (holy geez!) the ps3 MIGHT get it's FIRST exclusive that sells 6 million!  But probably not.

PS3 owners did not care for Bulletstorm lol


...because we had a better option in kz3.  3rd parties can't find succes on the ps3 because sony is too dominate.  >_>

lol yea KZ3 =P.

I was just refering to that statement from Cliffy B .. "The real reason Bulletstorm was built was because Gears [of War] wasn't ready for this spring and we needed a product to f*ck with Killzone."

...whether he was joking or not, Bulletstorm (PS3 version) couldnt f*ck with KZ if he tried lol

Yeah I know, I was being sarcastic cause cmeese47 was talking smack on the 360 and acting like KZ3 did something amazing, when in reality 500k for an opening week isn't close to epic for a hyped exclusive.  It doesn't matter to me who sells the most systems/games, I have a 360 and a ps3, but if a person is going to talk smack like that it should be for something actually worth bragging about.
