Forums - Sales - Others up!

To people that are claiming PS3-Xbox360 gap is closing :

- xbox360 sales are pretty freezed (not up, not down)

- ps3 sales are a little down

Why ?????????????????

==> Some shortage in some countries du the very soon release of the 80gb ...

(like one of the biggest retailer in Paris ... check the PS3 shortage thread)
As soon as 80gb is out in NA+Europe, the Xbox360 will REALLY NEED A PRICE CUT

(note : MGS4 bundle in Europe sucks ...)



Time to Work !

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

Whatever happened to the people who said when the MGS4 bundles came back to stock sales were going to explode?

When did others get the 80gb MGS4 bundle to begin with? I thought that was US only. if it was then it really wouldn't have any effect in Europe/Others.

The gap between PS3 and 360 in others is closing in... Hmmm, interesting, but how come? :3

 

Because next week 80gb sku with  DS3 is coming.

 

 Seems 360 numbers are pretty good to. 60 gb is available here in UK now although limited stock. They only had Elite and Arcade in Plymouth. Looks like 20gb has dried up and 60gb has a few stock issues.

Same usual with ds-wii-psp-ps3-360 will be interesting too how the 80 gig pack will do. also i thought 360 should be a little higher didnt a new 60 gig released in europe.



 

60gb = next weeks charts....



why would you buy a ps3 now when you can get twice the hdd space for the same price? 98% of those ps3 sales must be mgs4 bundles. the other 2% consists of idiotic people.



 

 

 

 

Actually if 90% was the Mgs4 bundle then the software sales for Mgs4 would be higher. Maybe its beacuse not all knows that a new 80 gig is coming.

Those may not be ...but Little Big Planet ,Heavy Rain ,Motorstorm ,Resistence ,White Knight Story ,Heavenly Sword ,Infamous ,most of the PSN games and many others ARE new franchises.Sony brings new franchises each generation.Nintendo doesnt ....well sometimes it throws one new as Pikmin but relies mostly on their old Kart/Zelda/Mario/Fzero/Smash games that arent really innovative right now.But now it has found the Holy Grial of Casual (cheapo and simple ) games and it will stick to it for some years.

Defending Nintendo is getting really old.

Oh really? Here i will go through the games you listed and match every single one.

Little Big Planet

Heavy Rain

Motorstorm

Resistance

White Knight Story

Heavenly Sword

Most PSN games

 

so that's a total of 7 "new" franchises (looks more like 7 new games to me).  Heavenly Sword is average to below average, white knight story , Heavy Rain, and Little Big Planet aren't even out yet. Resistance is a slightly above average shooter and Motorstorm is a slightly above average racer.

So i guess i need to come up with 7 games to match? Very well, Most Wiiware games, Disater: Day of Crisis, Wii series, The Conduit, Madworld, and De Blob, wow that was hard. Wait let me guess, you want them all to be from Nintendo right? Well if that's the case you have to remove White Knight Story, Heavy Rain, Heavenly sword, and most PSN games from your list since they aren't developed by Sony's first or second parties..So that only leaves me with 3 "new" games, i already mentioned 3 directly from Nintendo. If you just count it as being published by Nintendo or Sony the list for Nintendo becomes gigantic.

There is nothing wrong with a series, for example if you take out the main series there is no reason to have a PS3, Wii, or 360.

 

Everything is about taste, but...

I'd say this post is slightly below average.
