Global numbers are up.

More of the same for the Wii U; Vita numbers softening in Japan and still ass in the West.

That was a pretty steep drop off for Ascension compared to 3, considering that both were on the market for the same amount of time in both the US and Europe. So much for people thinking it might sell less being "delusional".

In this case, I wouldn't take anything regarding its sales as concrete. Bear in mind the game had bundles, which doesn't seem to be reflected in the hardware at all.

Wouldn't it still have been a big drop even if ALL the PS3's sold this week were the GOW bundles? Granted, considering the sales accuracy around here lately, I can understand being skeptical. :p

It'd be nice if Sony puts out sales numbers themselves like SE did for Tomb Raider and Blizzard did for the Starcraft expansion.

Oh, I have no doubt that Ascension saw a substantial drop from III, but with the hardware not seeing an uptick for the week, one has to wonder just how big (or small) the reduction may actually have been.

That's true, but I honestly don't expect the bundle to have as big an impact either. It's not like back in '09-'10, when they had just released the Slim at $300 and could really tap into pent-up demand. Most people who wanted the game probably have PS3s at this point.

Wii U launch = 3DS launch. There's going to be a deep price cut necessary sooner than Nintendo would like.

Didn't Wii U get already some prices cuts. They aren't official ones, but i have read lots about it lately. So we might see if it sells next week or not.

Just...no. Just look at how Call of Duty bundles push Xbox 360 sales. This has been proven false with each Modern Warfare and Halo release. There are always people looking for a console to play a God of War or a Halo or a Call of Duty. ALWAYS.

Several retailers started cutting prices a while ago, but it hasn't proven to be a shot in the arm either with VGC sales or NPD and the Japanese analyst numbers. Not surprising, really, since the price isn't the main issue.

I do expect better numbers for the following week, though, since that's when Lego City and MH3U came out.

Okay, so how much DO you think it sold then? Just curious.

 Yeah, i have seen several price drops. Some even huge ones like 120 $ off and stuff, but Wii U lacks software atm. That is why i wanna see the number of sold consoles when MH3 comes out.

Give us more new consoles. These numbers are predictable and boring. We need a new war!

The forum is going to be a goddamned zoo once we start getting PS4 and NextBox numbers. I can't wait. XD
