3ds over ps3 in europe.. seems very unlikely


Your reasoning being?


this


3DS over 360 seems unlikely accoridng to that.

360 looks like about 22% to 3DS 18% and PS3 31% ish.

 

Europe market share.

3DS 17.5%
NDS 1.5%
WII 8.5%
WIU 4.5%
PSP 10.5%
PSV 5.5%
PS3 30.5%
360 21.5%

-gaf

 

So marketshare looks like this;

Sony 46.5%

Nintendo 32%

Microsoft 21.5%

PS: I like it ;)

I wonder if ioi even tracked Injustice for WiiU this week in Europe.
Assuming he did, Injustice sold 3k or less, which wouldn't be too surprising though since the HD versions (and fighting games in general) aren't doing too well in Europe.


Seems he didn't track it at all.

4 Wii U games in the top 40



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Seeing one last Wii game make the top ten makes me smile. :)

GOWA flopped big time and is on sale pretty much everywhere. bargain bin status will give it solid sales for a couple of weeks. GOWJ is still full price...

I've elaborated and clarified...

 

Marketshare is still marketshare, how much systems you need to accomplish that is not important. Samsung has no phone yet that sells more than Apple's iPhone, but they outsell them every quarter and year, when you count all the smartphones they makes and sell.

um no... 

Gears of War J is far less of a follow up than God of War A, in fact there is no reason so Gears fans to even pick up GOWJ. GOWJ has different developer, different mechanics even different main characters... God of War A has the same developer, same mechanics and same main character... it was clearly designed as a followup to God of War 3. 

GOWA's budget is also bound to be much higher than GOWJ, especially with that superbowl spot which costs millions of dollars. 

MS didn't hype GOWJ up one bit, it was never intended to be a follow up to Gears of War 3. GOWA on the other hand with its massive budget and superbowl spots was supposed to be the next great chapter in the God of War series, for that... it flopped. 

Retailers are proof of this, GOWA is discounted pretty much everywhere, logic should tell you that if a game gets a swift price cut, it has been over shipped. GOWJ hasn't had any price cuts, its doing just fine.
