Not that exclusive... most of the rest are generic copies of Nintendo and MS Ip's in my opinion.

Gears of War will die down quickly, while God of War will have legs. It's amazing Playstation games are blamed for having legs due to 'low price tag' but Microsoft exclusives don't have that leg even with low price tag.

This guy is gonna be upset when he finds out most Sony games don't have great legs..

I find it funny some Sony fans will brag about legs. They don't care how a game sells at for full price. Their ultiamte concern is how many units you can move in the bargain bin.


The thing is Playstation gamers have choice to choose from lots of exclusives and their userbase is same as that of the 360. So, it may not be possible to buy all the games new at their full price. People buy at full price what they like and wait for the price to reduce. 

The 360 has sold more exlusive software than the PS3.

Bear in mind the 360 has sold nearly a 100 MILLION more units of software than the PS3. Atleast according to VGChartz.

This thread should be locked down. There is too much nonsense going on.

I guarantee that God of War: Ascension is doing much better than Vgchartz's estimates and is well ahead of Gears of War: Judgment. The figures for the USA don't make any sense with the bundles, promotions, high position on online bestseller lists in Walmart/Gamestop/Target/Amazon/BestBuy etc. Also Vgchartz assumes that because it's not doing very well in the UK then it isn't doing well in Europe overall, which is bollocks. GoW3 may have been a lot more popular in the UK than GoW:A but it wasn't insanely popular there and so Vgchartz estimated that it only sold 1.1m in Europe when Sony announced it was actually at 2m in EU (yes sell-in, but when a game's been out for 2+ years the deference between sell-in and sell-through is negligible). I believe the same thing is happening with God of War: Ascension ant it's doing a lot better than Vgchart's estimates suggest. There was no hype for Gears:J, no bundles, no great promotions and it's doing nowhere near as well in the bestsellers lists on all the big retailers sites. NPD will prove me right for US sales but we'll only know the absolute truth about Europe when Sony announce official figures.

This is probably the most perfect post I have read in this thread. I'm not sure about Europe but I'm sure its undertracked in USA for sure considering how well its performing in big retailers. But even then 600k in its first month in the U.S.A. isn't bad at all. But if VGC sales are true then it will be a huge dissapointment considering God of War III sold 1.1 million in its first month despite having heavy competition from Pokemon, Battlefield, and Final Fantasy all of which had more hype than God of War III but none could sell as much.

Update: Gears: J passes GoWA


I'm still guessing that's very off as God of War A seems heavily undertracked to me in U.S.A. I mean considering the amount of people playing this game and the views...it seems very off to me. Hopefully NPD proves VGC wrong.


Not the old battered undertracked thing again, please.....

It was a matter of time before the Gears passed GoWA. Gears is just a bigger game. Sony games tend to have better legs though and it could eventually swing back around.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Well I'm sorry but it fucking true.

GT5- undertracked

Uncharted 3 - undertracked

God of War III - undertracked 

I don't see why God of War Acsension isn't undertracked if those games are. I mean there were giving the God of War Saga free with God of War Acesenion and it was still number 1 in many retailers including gamestop but somehow the sales dropped by 80% in the second week in U.S.A?.. God of War Ascension is also getting strong word of mouth despite mediocre reviews.

God of War has dropped like a stone after mediocre opening sales on the european charts.  I'm guesing its fairly well tracked.


Let's just wait for NPD...and for the exception of God of War III no God of War has ever been big in Europe. And God of War Ascension had very little marketing and hype in Europe compared to NA.

Even you can't believe such nonsense. >.<

Beyond that, what does any of this have to do with the topic?


"The thing is Playstation gamers have choice to choose from lots of exclusives and their userbase is same as that of the 360. So, it may not be possible to buy all the games new at their full price. People buy at full price what they like and wait for the price to reduce."

Resistance and Killzone are supposed to be Xbox's flagship shooters killer apps but not even Play Station players mind to play them.

The sack boy got into karting, I wonder where they got the idea for a platformer to delve into kart racing.

Play Station All-Stars Battle Royale is Super Smash B... not it can be!

Please read the comments on the thread they are not that much, I don't want to eat and type at the sae time.

Happy to wait for NPD.  Most software has been overtracked here recently, particularly PS3 exclusives.


LMFAO! Your a funny guy... you should check your facts before you make coments like that.

Proof? Anyway, the likes of Best Buy, Amazon and Toys R Us have already given God of War Ascension a pricecut: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=539895

It is to note though that NPD does not track bundles and so they should have God of War: Ascension slightly lower than what VGC shows.
