Damn that Smash Brothers Meta right now! Nintendo really knows how to make games like no other (it's obviously still personal taste if you like these games but their quality is often superb)

lol thanks Jay :P

Little off topic, but still gaming related. Anyone here getting Pokemon Alpha, or Omega tomorrow? Pre-ordered both, they better get here tomorrow

@Raven: Love that avatar too  

I'm going to get both Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby once I buy a 3DS, which will be soon. Tomorrow I'm buying LBP3 for my cousin on PS3. I was about to get DA: I myself, but it has been banned in India

It may be just because i prefer a more classic fighting game but i didnt care for the 3DS version.  To me its a game that is a lot of fun if you get a group of people together but im not keen on the competitive side of Smash Bros  where most of my time is going to go into.

There's homosexual content in the game and there are some laws in India banning that, at least that's what I heard.

Due to the homosexual content, and all the explicitly sexual stuff in the game.

Btw homosexuality is banned in India.

That's exactly the reason its been banned.

I was looking forward to it



Well from what I know Ea is not interested in doing business in India, there is lot of content in other games which is age restricted or banned in India but games still release. If you are a gamer in India you would know how bad Ea has been in previous months with gamers and reviewers. They increased the prices for PC version of games to a whole new level and mind you PC games in India are always cheaper. They have not been sending review copies or codes to reviewers. And it is a foolish excuse we don't have a game censor board in India

Fallout had some issue with hindu religion however developer fixed it and released in India. They have also decided to make few games only available at origin and it is not easy to find there games in retail stores.

Therefore it is EA's fault

ps4 going to drop out of the top 10


As sad as it may be,  people are still making fake accounts so i doubt it will exit top 10.  Who knows where it should actually be.  Now that people know that you can manipulate Amazon's charts i expect it will be a regular thing

This is as of 1:07 PM ET 11/20/2014  Here is a link for a closer look at the time  http://i.imgur.com/XSoz3d4.png

mrhemplayer has had his account deleted multiple times that i know of as well.




       

UK is traditionally 1/5th the size of the US market for Xbox and 10% of the WW market.

360 8.5m (85m WW) and 42.5m in US works out perfectly.

Not sure when XB1 is undertracked in the UK, but it's averaging the same if a little higher than 1/5th US market, (735k Oct 4th would mean 3.67m in US same date, but it's around 3.5m) It's around 4.8 the US market.

This must mean (at least ending Nov/Black Friday) XB1 should be approaching 5m sold.

If it sells 700k (4.4m) like some are predicting that completely throws the balance out over the course of 1 month and that doesn't make sense.

Anyway, 10m sell through year end will be a piece of piss after all this news.
