The preview said 100k for Resistance 3 and now it's 48k? lol


Yeah apologies, the data suggested only a 30% drop, (I did think at the time 100k seemed rather high) I'll try and make sure it's more precise next time, I do have to work on prelim numbers that I'm given though.

Can hardly expect super accuracy right out of the gate. I imagine it'll be very hard to get a real handle on Americas numbers for a preview, not quite the same situations as the Japan preview.

Anyway, look at Dead Island holdover. I think right there is your Resistance drop. I just hope those Dead Islanders come around to R3 in a few months...err...maybe next year after they get done with the triple 3's: MW, BF and Uncharted.

Interesting re-entry in the top 40 for The Fight: Lights Out. Has it gone into the $10 bin now?

I know people hate tie ratio, but I would like to mark the occasion that PS3 has hit the double figures for tie ratio. Only 0.3 behind 360, which means PS3 owners are buying games almost at the same rate as 360 gamers. Which is quite the different picture from a few years back.

Actually I just re read the data I was given and he meant 30% OF last week, so that was entirely my fault (apologises!)

No problem, you're a human beign as well :)

But seriously, why do y'all think that EVERY (western) Sony sequel this year has disapponting sales? (LBP2, KZ3, Motorstorm, Infamous 2, now RE 3) Ok, KZ3 and Infamous have a shot to do as well as its prequels, but I thought they would sell more...Saw anyone this coming?

Gamers gotta make choices I suppose. LA Noire, Mortal Kombat, Dead Space 2, Portal 2, Crysis 2 + All those other shooters (homefront, Brink, Red Faction, etc.) + the exclusives can really hamper all games across the board. KZ3 is matching KZ2 although many of the core fans liked KZ2 better. InFamous 2 is below inFamous 1, but not by much. LBP2, I honestly don't know. IT got raving reviews & most claiming it was better than LBP in every way. Maybe it's just a holiday game. RE3 is caught in a pretty huge holiday right now so sales would definitely be lower.

Shocking PS3 numbers really. Back to pre-pricecut levels despite a bunch of new SW...

40 k only sales for R3

 

Still bad Overall sales for R3 , Dead Island killed R3 . It's a good bet that the people who own both 360 and PS3 bought Dead Island instead. R3 barely sold more than Dead Island on the PS3. lol




Wow some interesting numbers. I expected to PS3 to continue dropping now that price cut was a while ago, but a loss of that much this fast I didn't quite expect.

Wii still losing big. Needs new software to come out.

Good 3DS and X360 numbers

Strong PS3 software sales. Now at 10 attach rate.

Dead Island holding on strong.

Resistance 3 a disapointment

Gunstringer for Kinect had some low release numbers

OP, Could you include the full 20 software list just for good measure?




WKCII sold nearly as much as Disgaea 4 did in NA first week. That is depressing. WCKII is horrible.

Zelda to the rescue, wii will be above 70,000 that week.



Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,
