I don't really know how to edit the table... all the times I've tried it fell apart!
I'll do some bolded text soon to make things a little easier to read, but first:

Nice culdcept sales!!! Who knew?

I did ;)


.... Did you? :P

 

That new Wii game did alright, I have not checked to see past performances, but actually think it did rather well for a dying console and a franchise that is not too big. Maybe it is just not too big in the West?

Nah, kinda! When I said 35-40k in the Nintendo thread, people said it would be half as that. But I wasn't crazy to go to 55k too.

3DS did only ok? I was expecting a drop off after the LL/XL announcement had really settled in and it started being advertised (and available for pre-order.) Very nice hold for the 3DS.

I was expecting a larger boost for the Vita. I thought the new color as well as MGS HD would give it a bigger boost. I guess it couldn't compare with P4 though.


You're absolutely right. It did very nice. My mistake. Vita did ok to me... that was my low end, but it is not shockingly bad in any way.

Going to buy Etrian Oddysey this week? Or Time Travelers?

Nope not planning on getting anything really. I'll probably end up eventually picking up EO4 for my gf as she played the other ones, but she's busy play DQM: Terry as well as Pokemon Black 2 at the moment. She's also playing Sacred 2 on the 360 as well.

I reserved my White 3DSi LL (had to pay upfront! unlike with games) as well as NSMB2 (releases the same day.) Plus I had to send a large chunk of money to myself to pay for 2 plane tickets for a short trip back home to California next month, so I'm trying not to spend too much. (outside of the 3DSi LL ;-p )

You know what they shouldve done with MGS HD? Its been bugging me since the thing was announced.

Twin Snakes.

There is no reason at all for MGS not being in that collection.

@ Japan man

 

Well it is a newly released game.

Was that directed at me? hehe. Anyway, yeah I know it's a newly released game and I hope it does sell well. I'll eventually pick it up, probably later this year. I still need to pick up FF4 and Spirit Camera as well!

Good 3DS numbers, and happy with the little boost Vita got at the moment. Will be really happy if it competes with 3DS though.

Since that game never left the gamecube, I think Nintendo is the reason... well, maybe.

When or if a Nintendo platform gets a MGS collection, we'll see (Wii U?). I agree though... a Collection without the number 1 is pointless to me.



So Vita only made it to just over 20k. My "it'll be lucky to hit 25k next week' seems pretty darn right. No way was it ever gonna make 30-40k, or beyond, as some suggested. Still alright, though.

Nice to see a lot of new games. But MGSHD disappoints.

There... after some work, I think the chart is now perfect!


Yup looking very good. I like that the slow man is just labeled as jake hunter lol. 

Only things that need changing now are number 3 you still have the title mislabelled. It is also Robotics;Notes. 
And also I think you should retitle the 'Variation' column. It's not very clear what that means. It's actually; Ranking last week/Week before last. I'm not too sure if we even really need that lol.

@Carl2291 I have also said before that Twin Snakes should have been in there. It would make it a complete collection. However the MGS fanbase seems to hate that game. Everytime I have seen it mentioned about the game I always see people saying how it is better without it, how terrible it is etc etc. I suspect it is just because it was a Gamecube exclusive and so not that many played it. 

Likewise with Konami I felt they should have included Silent Hill: Shattered memories and SH4 in the 'collection'. Shattered memories is kinda an alternate take on the first game but it is better than nothing and is still a great game. As it is the SH 'Collection' basically means 2 out of the 3 PS2 games and nothing else. 



Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.
