Those Battlefield 3 numbers make me sad.

why?i think it's not bad



I wish they were lower

Next week is going to be worse with Modern Warfare 2.1 coming out. 



Yeah I think you have to remember the COD games have good legs.
Black Ops sold around 2 million copies in the 2nd week and then 1+ million copies a week for 8 weeks WW till New Years.

I do not think Battlefield will be able to catch up until Jan and I doubt that.



solid uncharted 3 numbers. most games this year seem to have sold less than its predecessor so uncharted done well. i think its clear ps3 hardware is undertracked though so adjustments will probably happen. quite sad that modern warfare 2.5 will destroy all these great games in sales :S



I'm really suprised at Halo: Reach numbers. I know it was bundled with Fable 3, but it was a digital copy. I thought VGC didn't track digital.

Ps3's biggest exclusive doesn't even compare to the 360s biggest exclusive first week sales. Expected but surprised it wasn't higher. Hell 360 owners almost bought more copies of battlefield 3 in its 2nd week then PS3 gamers support their biggest exclusive.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

??

uncharted IS NOT sony's biggest exclusive

Gran Turismo is..



@sales2099: that's how uncharted games sell, not much surprise there.
I am surprised that the PS3 is up YOY, even if the boost from Uncharted is not there apparently.

Business as usual for the 360 in NA. Where the 360 $100 gift cards deals tracked in this week???

As for the PS3, it still is less then 50k away weekly in NA (IMO that is good considering how strong 360 is in there), but if you take into account U3 release, I think it would be expected some boost, even if minimal. Still, last year, with Kinect release, 360 outsold PS3 by 155k, so from that stand point, it is a big improvment for the PS3 in comparison to the HD rival

As for the Wii, as I was expecting, that console is too cheap to not sell well in the Holidays. Wii is going to be a monster, money is crucial, even if not a lot of new games are coming out.

U3, some people will call it a flop, some will say it is a great FW, I say, it is all going to be about SEXY legs, what can it sell.... IDK, all I know is that it did better then U2.... for the FW.

As a PS3 gamer I was expecting more, unfortunately PS3 gamers prefer first person shooters to everything else in existence, which is sad if you consider the quality of those games lately.


resistance and killzone disagree with you

the only fps games they like are call of duty and battlefield.. but still not as much as gamers from 1 other specific console i know(and no i am not talking about the wii)

well at first i was going to say lol. ok. adjusments, but then i saw your last sentence i have to agree. it is very said. i haven't play'd an FPS since KZ3 came out, and its been sometime since i've played gears and i hate COD as many here know.

man i'm letting you i just can't be a one trick pony. the only shooters so far i have left to play are Bioshock infnite and Rage. other then those i an't buying no more shooters.

i guess verity isn't as important as it use to be?
