Dead Island is still doing great!

Won't be long before Halo Reach is out of the top 40. GT5 beats Halo Reach this week.

If I'm not wrong GT5 is beating Reach in the year (2011).

I don't think so Halo Reach has been selling much better than GT5 so far this year...unless January had one of those high selling weeks for GT5.

Is there any way we can find out?

I was checking and there are a feature for that... the yearly chart.

http://www.vgchartz.com/yearly.php

21. Gran Turismo 5 - 1,216,577
25. Halo: Reach - 1,135,955

Almost tied.

Black Ops PS3 is selling just 300k below Black Ops 360... amazing fact too.

Killzone 3 is the best selling exclusive for PS3 this year... over LittleBigPlanet 2.

Wow that's a pretty cool feature! I take it GT5 had one of those 300k+ weeks during January right?

Edit: Damn KZ3 has sold well!

Yeap... the first week: 312k... Reach sold 156k... after that GT5 dropped to 171k, 120k and 91k.

Edit -  I don'st expect that from Killzone 3 after some said they were selling poorly.

Yeah I forgot it had those.

Who do you think will come ahead at the end of the year?

Hard to say... I believe that both will be close .

Without Black Friday or  Christmas bundles of course .

xD well yes whichever one gets more Black Friday deals and bundles will surely win!

I think Halo: CEA may push Reach to sell a little bit (because Halo: CEA will have compatable maps with Reach) Whilst if GT5 gets a pricecut (which is very possible) it would definitely push sales higher.

I guess Sony planned to release DLC packs for GT5 at Forza 4 launch too.

Ithink there are some lingering doubts about Kinect's utility in the more traditional game genres. Whereas Move has proved itself very well in the shooter category, and it'll be interesting to see how Move integrates with inFamous 2 in the somewhat more action (but still very much shooter as well) category. I'll be playing inFamous 2 using Move initially. Move also proved itself very well with Heavy Rain (I definitely enjoyed playing it with Move more than using just the DS3). I also thought Move functioned quite well in R.U.S.E. So Move has shown a versatility in many traditional gaming genres that Kinect has yet to do.

Personally I'd quite like to have Kinect, but not so much for gaming. More for voice activations and "touch screen" PC control without getting dirty finger marks on the screen. The rise of tablets and multi-touch smartphones means people are getting into gesture based controls for electronic devices. And there Kinect is a good option for various devices, and better than a touchscreen in many cases. Kinect can also get rid of the keyboard. You just need a stencil outline of a keyboard on the desk and Kinect would be able to see what you're typing . Lots of cool uses for Kinect outside of gaming. I'd even go so far as to say Kinect is wasted on gaming. So hopefully gaming is merely the catalyst which leads to a much broader application of the technology.

woah, how is it that this is the first i heard about that?!?  cool beans.  do you know if it is only going to be for the FoB expansion or will they retrofit it into the existing infamous 2 game?  the article i read made no mention.


it will be both. Infamous 2 and Festival of blood.

and they either just had a patch or will soon have a patch to allow for user created move stuff.

 

which is awesome because it gives me another reason to play infamous 2 on hard as evil, and get my plat
