Nice HW boost for PS3, waiting for Japan and WW numbers to see what caused it.

Is the LBPV number 1 week or 2?

845,837 Americans just wasted $70 or more on Resident Evil 6.

Game cost $60. If you buy online there is no tax.

With tax in a retailer it would be about $65. If youa re paying $70 or more for a video game you are getting ripped off.

sounds fun to be a retailer in usa with disadvantages like this against online shops

just good that you don't have high tax like in most european countries, retail would be completely dead then.

Are you hoping that a wild ioi appears and answers your question ? Because I think none of us could answer it.

Nice to see RE6 at 2m WW first week; hopefully it keeps up a good pace. 360's US sales are also better than normal.

No one knows is an answer also.

Surprised that RE6 sold more on 360 in US and UK. Still no effect of the new slim PS3 in N. America either. Guess Sony should of lowered that price point.

They should have just done what they did with Europe and offered 500GB and 12GB from the get go, 250GB seems pointless when it's only $30 cheaper than 500GB.

12GB still not out in Europe though

Sorry, it's been out in Australia for a week now so I just assumed it was out in Europe too. PAL region after all.

Good to see RE6 sold less than RE5 everywhere but Japan, just hope there's a massive drop next week so we don't get another trash RE.

I thought this was interesting.

Basically the DS dominated in the main territories, but look at Dat "REst of the World" section! If Nintendo were to push that then the DS would not be stopped. Now the DS has this Christmas and that will be about it for it, beyond price cuts, which should be very few from now on.

 

Pos Platform North America Europe Japan Rest of World Global
1 PlayStation 2 (PS2) 53.65 53.28 23.18 23.57 153.68
2 Nintendo DS (DS) 55.66 51.53 33.01 12.43 152.63

Yeah PS2 >>> everthing else in 3rd world countries. This kind of made me relize that Nintendo should focus more on expanding "geographically" and less on expanding "demographically" (Not ignoring the big importance of the latter though).

btw, I see you have your old avatar back. I think it suits you better
