Not that either. Player 2 isn't ranked in the leaderboards.
In Black Ops 2 playing splitscreen gives you all the gear that the 1st player unlocked. Any further leveling you do isn't saved and is reset once you stop playing.

I think the @kowen multiple users like me and my brother... one PS3... one BLOPS 2... two PSN account.

Edit - I just give an example because I don't have BLOPS but I do that with FIFA... me and my brother play the game online with different accounts in different times.

3DS is a beast.
AC:L is so important sales-wise for VITA

Retail Software down 15m yoy. 15m less in just one week!!!

To be fair, 6.5 Million of that comes from the Wii alone. It had 2 stronger days with 23rd and 24th. Star Wars TOR opened up with 1.5 Million, too.

Kinect and Just Dance are half as strong as last Year... And 2012 has Far Cry 3 and Hitman Absolution as the "big" 3rd party games, as opposed to 2011s combo of Skyrim, Battlefield 3 and Arkham City.

PS3 and 3DS' Exclusive holiday lineups have also been quite poor.

Hmm. I forgot you could do that. I tried that feature at launch and it didn't really work.

You have to shift the PS3 account to work... so I have two PS3 local  account in my PS3 linke to two different PSN account (one mine and other for my brother)... the trophys, message, PS3 setthings, saves, etc is separated too... but all the apps (games, videos, musics, etc) can be acessed by any account.

It's like I have my own PS3 and he have other PS3...

Respectable numbers for the top 4 (hardware). Vitas sales are horrific. Over 20m lifetime seems impossible at this stage...and people thought I was crazy when I predicted that!

Halo 4 sells 7m in 7 weeks. Amazing!

Wonderbook sells more this week than PSASBR and LBP:K!



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

I don't get this fuzz about Wii U dropping 5k from last week. As far as I can see when comparing it to 360 in the same time period during the first holiday it did very well. Wii U dropped from 395k to 390k, whereas the 360 dropped from 165k to 135k the week before x-mas... Wii U will drop next week as well, and will pick up again in early/mid January...

That being said, Wii U numbers in EU is not good. I don't buy in on the whole "supply constrained" talk. There's something else at work here. At least it's doing well WW, no matter what certain people say. I don't think a newly launched system ever outsells the older ones during the first few months...

3DS dominating Vita we expected, but the DS dominating Vita as well? At least it outsold PSP!!

Actually, WiiU is outselling Wii. Just shows you how far Nintendo consoles have fallen the last few years when their new console and their old #1 can't combine to sell as much as either PS3 or 360.

THIS. 

I think the Wii U should have released last year at the latest where it still had the chance to ride that Wii-wave. Now it will be an uphill battle for Nintendo.

In America they have to go up against the beast called Xbox 360 while in Europe they are up against the PS3. I don't see either console losing its throne this year. Japan is a different story though. It seems to be selling well there above PS3.

It did launch last year.

This poops over slimebeast's prediction. 



Yay!!!

Apparently the UK games industry was down over 25% YoY. Not promising.
