People forget that there was only 250K copies of UT3 for PS3 when it launched. It sold over 175K in its first couple weeks. I say that is pretty good. I would have bought it but could not find it anywhere. I just saw one in a Target this past Sunday. I hope it is still there by pay day.
So what do you win if your prefered console sells more than another?
Seems UT3 entered the UK charts at number 6:

Outsold by Wii and DS party/training games.

"The charts authority also confirmed that PS3 hit a million UK sales faster than its predecessor PS2."
The numbers should be much higher, but it wouldn't surprise me if they weren't :P The game should have sold more than it did :/ BTW Did any of you guys see that badass lego mod someone made for UT3 :D
From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.
Yes I. Ithought it will be more near 100k, especially with german players who are UT and FPS fans.
btw i just want to say that i m not stating here that vgchartz undertracked or over tracked the game...
I m just saying do u expected to do better given the current numbers are correct.? i expected them to be double this number..
| MikeB said: Maybe many Europeans already bought the cheaper PC version which has been available for quite a while or bought the US import version. Or VGChartz has tracking problems for Europe, CliffyB's new interview at gametrailers mentioned Gears of War just sold over 4.5 million copies, which is probably shipped and may include sales for the PC version, but he seemed very happy with that figure. VGChartz has it at over 5 million copies sold for just the 360, I sometimes get the impression UK carries too much weight in the VGChartz data (according to Sony 20-22% of its European PS3 business). A friend bought the game and if good I may pick up this game later this week. |
he was only meaning the 360 version. The PC version of both Gears and UT3 are both selling quite well.
I think the number will receive a slight lift next week.In any case this game will sell on the long term thanks to mods and word of mouth.
| MikeB said: @ ioi The 1 million PS3s in the UK announcement a few weeks back was shipped and not sold through. The article which claimed Chart Track confirmation suggested otherwise: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/29603/PS3-hits-1m-in-UK "The charts authority also confirmed that PS3 hit a million UK sales faster than its predecessor PS2." |
Yeah. That was like one of 20 articles. That was the only one that said so.
A few others said that PS3 would hit it before PS2 (but hadn't yet.) You should remember that because you argued "They just haven't reported it yet"
and others have said Sony has stated it as such.
If you disagree instead of quoting 1 of a bunch of blog posts (the one that agrees with you) why don't you do something to find out what the number really means. Like email charttrack.
Do things in a proffesional way if you want things changed. I'm sick of people just quoting whatever article backs them up without any source to the information. Website news places like that are about as accurate as Wikipedia.
They've falled for the Sony semi colon so many times it isn't funny.
It is a bit less than I expected, Could be that its not out everywhere yet in Europe.
