Also, Infamous 2 is disappointingly low :(


It's selling slighty faster than the first one even without the 26,000 Japan had in the first 3 weeks.

Comparing 3rd weeks, it did sell a little less than the first game..but it could just be balancing out, and even then its not that big of a deal yet.

Actually looking further it's mostly EMEAA where the sales are lower. Yes even in the Americas it's down the 3rd week in comparison but it's been down all three in EMEAA.

everyone saying how Ninty messed up with the 3DS advertisment, how are they supposed to advertise it??? THe main draw for the system is the 3D which cant be shown on tv, so its already an uphill battle. They put it in Walmarts and other big stores which was a good move, but IMHO maybe people are not that impressed by the effect. Redesign??? How, the DS had one of the best designs for a portable ever, if not the best. How would you redesign it and still have an analog and a 2nd screen that makes sense to use???


Well there are a few 3D channels out there, they could atleast put adverts made specifically for those out. But you are right, the required infrastructure just isn't there to effectively advertise it but if it were then its USP wouldn't exist either so they kind of shot themselves in the foot a little bit there din't they.


It requires imagination to build a great tv ad that really showcases it's 3D ability. Having things 'pop out' of the screen, and someone fitting their head inside the 3D screen to view a wide open view. @oinyide So you expect Nintendo to forever use the DS design? You lack imagination if you think there is no way to redesign it. Sliding instead of opening. One could also redesign it so when closed the 3D screen is protected. Nintendo has great minds that work with them, I'm sure they could think of an awesome design for it. Because like many before, my own family thinks its a DS with 3D at a higher 250 price tag.

thats the problem right there, things do not pop off the screen, its not the movies, its not that kind of 3d, if they advertise it like that, it would be lying. and yes i have played 3DS for myself. Your redesign ideas sound cool though, but even more expensive.

Not to be pedantic but isn't is "hoisted" not "hung?" Petards are catapult like things (I believe if memory serves me correctly).

Reminds me this: http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/sales/45677/playstation-move-heroes/ 

LOL


The sequel to a game that sold like 25 Million, absolutely bombing, reminds you of a new IP that sold more?

Nice to see a very Nintendo top 10! It's like 2008 all over again, well minus the strong hardware sales at least. Besides Zelda though, 3DS software is very disapointing.

wii play 2 was an obvious bomb.

Flingsmash did just as terrible so it wasn't hard to predict that wii play 2 would crash too. Nintendo needs to stop releasing this crap. They have 3 good games that could sell decently for the Wii but they won't bring them over.



 

Most anticipated games of 2011:

Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith

Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D

Lol come on kowenicki, see the funny side as you do give a lot of stealth digs yourself! hens why a few people lol'd at it
your normally the first to come in and quickly comment on YOY sales when the ps3 is down the most, and the time the 360 is doing awefull (for yes obvious reasons) your not here(work or not, you could have been sat on the toilet) it's a joke man lighten up, if you didnt do it so often regular users wouldnt have noticed nor made a little joke about it ;) keep things cool man no need to take things personal, yours sincerely...... everyone else who thought it was funny x 

@OT looking forward to some sort of price cut november time maybe? should see an explosion of sales with the 360 and ps3, plenty of life left in these yet
