3rd parties are taking quite a beating on WiiU. ZombiU sales are essentially the bundled ones I think. Besides Nintendo loyalists, hardly anybody bought WiiU in Europe.

Damn MS why didnt you price drop in Europe as well? Thats the reason for this insultingly close gap. They even said numerous times that Europe is the real battleground of this gen.

Also, looks like next week will have Forza 4 outselling GT5 in 2012 sales, making it 2 years in a row :)

Also, looks like next week will have Killzone 3 outselling Halo 3:ODST in 2012 sales, making it 2 years in a row :)

Not totally convinced the Hitman numbers are correct, opens at 450K across PS3 and 360 then drops to less than 80K at this time of the year? I don't believe that.

The 360-PS3 gap is super close this week, it's gonna make an interesting watch for the rest of the year :D

Lots of hardcore hitman fans (PC) are talking crap about the game everywhere.  I guess that crap talk is spreading fast.   Something like with ME3 (with the ending issue, loss of lots of RPG elements, and that choices dont matter) it began selling huge, and then it dropped.


I haven't been to the Hitman forums, but I quite enjoy the game tbh. There are a few things I miss but I compared the drop in America to the UK one, the American one is huge! 



Pretty close sales all around, but I don't think these rankings will alter much leading all the way to Christmas.

And yea... please don't copy those massive tables people. It's on the front page anyway, shouldn't really need to be posted here.

For the record, launch figures in Europe for the current gen. We can see that WiiU is under everything, notably outsold 3 to 1 by the 599€ fat PS3.


Wow at those numbers. o_O

lol like people ever compared those 2 games or will even care now that you brought it up. People more so compared ODST sales to killzone 2 if anything.

If you wanna stick to KZ3, pick Halo Reach instead as more comparisons were brought up with them in their time.

Thats where your sig and my sig differ. Mines an actual rivalry that people care about. Picking ODST (thats random lol) and your sig in general just shows I take up free rent inside your head.



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

Nice PS3 sales this week and another thread derailed by Forza/GT trash talk..

Well, the Forza team did pick the fight. 3 vs 1 by th way...

I said the charts will have Forza outsell GT5 in 2012 sales. Just merely stating a fact thats about to happen. The reaction to it really got it started.

Actually 2 vs 1 (2 + 3), but that was beside the point. In 2012, F4 is gonna beat it, Forza as a IP even more so when you factor in Horizon.

considering that F4 and F:H were actually given away the whole year to compete against a game that released 3 years ago... it's not something to be happy about, there's no chance you can actually compare the sales of both games, it's like comparing sales of halo and killzone.

ok let's close this discussion and let both franchises live peacefully.
