Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

It's pretty hilarious to see the best 360 week rivals the worst PS3 week last month. Pretty sad, too.

The only sad thing is that you arent able to add and understand that the 7K number wasnt the best 360 week but the sales for all the month.

I meant the 2.1k to 7k, which is a difference of less than 5k. That's a sad reality for Sony, in my opinion.

 The same applies to PS3 and Wii.  PS3 for the month was still less than any week for Wii.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

trestres on 14 June 2008

- 8 Wii titles, 8 DS titles
- 2 PSP titles, 1 PS2 title, 1 PS3 title
- 0 360 titles

16/20 for Nintendo (2 platforms) = 80% of the top 20 (40% for each platform) ----> Amazing
4/20 for Sony (3 platforms) = 20% of the top 20 (5% for 2 platforms and 10% for the other platform) ----> Poor
0/20 for Microsoft (1 platform) = 0% of the top 20 (0% for the platform) ----> TERRIBLE
