Pretty good numbers, even when comparing to last year (talking about PS3), by that time of the year we had God of War III (second week), Yakuza 4 (Japan, second week) and Final Fantasy XIII (third week).

Halo is a phenomenon, Reach has incredible staying power.

 

KZ3 improves a bit this week and may start to match KZ2 given time.  Strange performance, actually the recent improvement is all coming from the US... bundles?  Anyway it looks like it may be demonstarting some legs in the US but elsewhere it has none.

 

LBP2 is a massive sales disappointment.

LBP after 10 weeks - 134k for the week and total of 1.8m

LBP2 after 10 weeks - 23k for the week and total of 1.1m

Not sure where this franchse will go after this, needs a new direction... somehow.

LBP was launched around October, so it's 10th week would fall in the holiday season. Not that I wasn't expecting LBP2 to flop. Because I did.

down over 30% is good?

2011 leader console is bad?

PS3 is doing AMAZING. First year beating everything.

That speaks more on how the competitors are doing and not how "amazing" the PS3 is doing.

agreed, being the leader is very good.... but it is down YOY, and this week by quite a large amount.

The industry is down... the only exception is 360 hardware.

What a mistery...the industry being down just in time as the Wii is down. And not even the Xbox 360 "savior" could revert this situation!

I'm totally chilled... as ever

We will have to agree to disagree on LBP2... it simply wont get anywhere near imo.

KZ3... why hasnt the marketing and word of mouth paid off in Europe?

Reach.. I just dont think it needed to be said.. its a given.  It looked like it was being used to belittle the achievement, if not then apologies.

I question whether it hasn't.  Killzone as a franchise has generally sold around or better in EMEAA than in the Americas.  This trend was represented in our initial Killzone 3 figures as well, until our American figures were adjusted up considerably after NPD.  Our EMEAA figures recieved no such adjustment, as we have yet to see an official figures implying it should recieve an adjustment, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them bumped up as well at some point.

And the post of mine CGI was referring to was actually in another thread.

Can't get over the ignorance of this post, given a holiday launch versus a January launch...



hmmm....good numbers for the PS3(and the other consoles)

can't wait to see NA's 3DS numbers
