It just doesn't make any sense that Homefront almost outsold Crisis 2. On its second week!

I dont buy that.

Crisis 2 is huge and I fink there was a EA press release confirming its sales are bigger than Dragon Age 2 and Dead Spaces 2.

I am fully convinced that Crisis first week clearly outsold Homefront first week. No doubt at all.

Wait until Americas data comes in. I'm shocked to see Homefront get just as strong sales as Crysis 2. Good release window for that game.

What surprises me more is that despite 360 being more popular to the FPS crowd, Crysis 2, Homefront, and even Dragon Age 2 (a game which is more popular on the 360) did not boost 360 sales significantly over PS3's in the last 3 weeks.PS3 seems to be fixed at a higher level now thanks to Killzone 3. Before that PS3 and 360 were consistantly tied. Unusual that that one rather small exclusive did this to PS3, but what I consider a bigger game (LBP2) did nothing.

Maybe this implies upcoming adustments? or maybe this is VGC's way to bend numbers to make up for a stonger then expected Q1 for Sony. Either way, I have no clue if PS3 will continue to hold this % lead over 360 during the year. Don't really care, but I think Wii should be in third.

Let's wait until Americas data to judge Crysis 2's sales. I would be shocked if Crysis 2 week 1 sales are lower then Homefronts.

5 million people were supposed to buy the PS3 without a single game.......

If people want to start comparing the 3DS to the PS3, I'm more than happy to go down that road.

"Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO David Reeves told the Web site he was worried less about moving units at the PS3's launch than he was about maintaining sales after early adopters had purchased their systems. "We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even [if] it didn't have games."

And they did...PS3's 2007 library was atrocious for most of the year....PS3 had sold well above 5 million by the end of 2007 when it got a few decent games.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Kinda, but during the holidays it will make the lead PS3 has smaller.

Without Kinect, 360 could have been really low in sales in EMEAA.

i don't know about other countries but what do people think about the 3ds uk ads

they seem weird to me people just saying yeah/wow this looks great and nothing else really

they should say/show you playing non 3d stuff aswell or mention the new interactive stuff maybe i've only seen one type of ad as i don't watch much tv

what do you think

The ads are the same in Germany and Austria and as such very disappointing. I thought those ads were more or less teasers and by launch time Nintendo would run some commercials for games as well, but it hasn't happened yet. So far they are trying to sell the system purely on its 3D effect which is just weird. This is a gaming machine, they should advertise games.

thats right,i thought they'd show some game and then wow 3d too,

i guess they are early ads and people who buy first will buy anyway

The ads both of you describe look a lot like 3DS ads in Italy too. Did Ninty use the same ad, translating it in all the languages needed? Scrooge McDuck would be so proud... But this would make local ad agencies sad pandas!   


they must be the same,we get more dubbed ads from the mainland now over here than we used too mainly for household stuff but others too,i guess its the same for everyone

Thanks for the info, looks interesting, but it's weird they haven't been talking about it.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

HEY HEY HEY BREAKING NEWS ------

 

Nintendos official first weekend 3DS SALES

- 114,000 UK - Biggest launch for any Nintendo console ever

- 303,000 EUROPE

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/33869/3DS_Sells_113K_In_UK_303K_Across_All_Of_Europe_In_Opening_Weekend.php



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

VGC adjusted 3DS down in EMEAA, from 439,206 to 346,021
