Ugh, BST not GMT...

I don't understand!

GMT is in Grenwich, England but its not GMT in England anymore. Its British Summer Time, so one hour ahead. So itll be 11 before the numbers, not 10.

Yeah but if it's at 10PM GMT then you know it's +1 hour where you live, no?

But why should we be doing that? It's England, GMT is British Time...it's just confusing as others have pointed out.

Anyway, on with the thread. It's 11:30 here if people are interested, and no shock from 360.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Why do y'all think I put GMT for British people?! I put GMT for the Icelandic people out there (pezus).

Surprise surprise. They didn't mention how it outsold all the competition combined this time so PS3 must have given it a run for its money this month.

....but STILL couldnt pass it after 27 months.  The gap gets bigger every month.  The next xbox must surely have a hell of a chance to dominate next gen out of the gate in the States.  

It sold 261k to be the top seller in its 8th years with "no gamez" and with loads of bad MS press about the next box and loads of amazing!! press for Sony and the PS4.  

Dont believe the hype.

Gears is one of their biggest franchise, plus it had Bioshock and Tomb Raider among others. How is that "no gamez"?

Still the marketing was piss poor compared to other Gears of War series.

Yeah I agree. Next Xbox has a high change of dominating next-gen based on current-gen sales and mindshare. We said the same thing about PS2 --> PS3 though so its not black and white. Errors will be made. Competition will be fierce. Anythig can happen.

I think the 1 month the PS3 can surpass the 360 is in June. That's when The Last of Us releases.

What does the ** mean again?

We got the order of the top 4 down. Luigi here one place lower. No Starcraft or SimCity at all? o.O

Includes Bundles, Limited Editions and Collectors Editions, but not with games sold with hardware, isn't it?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Isn't that 7 out of 10 for the 360?...

Maybe it really is the individual chart that Aaron is speaking of. But that wouldn't really make sense with the numbers we have here.



Also, great for Naruto!



That almost sounds like Wii U around the 100k mark. I'll wait for confirmation though.
