Is he the first one who ever accused you of trolling?

as I said NO 80GB bundles in EU

AND SPAIN RELEASE WAS DELAYED

PS3's 2nd largest market in EU

 

Spain is about 10% of other, so it's not too hard to extrapolate. You can't just add 10% to hardware sales though, because existing shelf stock still sells. So realistically, I'd probably use a 6-8% multiplier to estimate hardware sales.

Also, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people crossed the borders and bought it.

 


Except Spain is a disproportionately large region for Sony, & counts for about 15% of its european installed base

It doesnt matter about 1st few days sales if a games excellent it will have good legs eg COD4

So 2 days worth of sales, without Spain, and people are calling 430,000 software sales a failure? Thats half a million copies in two days, whats bad about that?

@Mummelman, is this the Sony forum, troll? No it isn't. I'm not being unrealistic, I'm pointing out how hypocrite some users can be, and you are included.

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.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

MGS4:

NA: 550K
EU: 650K
JAP: 300K
--------
total = 1.5 million (1st year sales near 4 million, lifetime around 5 million)


PS3 hardware:

NA: 100K
EU: 140K
JAP: 50K
---------------
total = 290K

MGS4 actual sales:

  1. NA: ?
  2. EU: 429,318
  3. JAP: rufly 400K

PS3 hardware:

  1. NA: rufly 120K
  2. EU: 119,590
  3. JAP: rufly 50K
    -------------------
  4. = 289,590

Slimebeast predicted 290K. =)

 

Now that is cherry picking.

Japan is software roughly 460,000, the hardware is roughly 45-70k units, likely in the 60-65k range.

NA will be more than 120k HW sold, assuming the first day sales were actually correct.



As in go buy us some coffee.

To nitpick a bit more, it's actually 3 days of sales, not two (not that it matters much, as many games get released towards the end of the week).

12th, 13th, 14th.
