see a common re-accurance with these numbers? And the only reason Wii saw a + in the SW is because it saw a + in hardware and Wii sports affected the number.

Both games are selling quite well, LBP must already be in the black. Resistance 2 suffered from the Killzone 2 hype though, so many people I know are holding off for KZ 2 in Feb 09. COD WOW certainly did not help the cause either.



 

YEAH IM GETTING LBP for Christmas so hope ps3s exclusives get shine during the holidays

 they're the decreases in Jan for software. It shows that people still buy SW at higher levels in Jan before the Holiday boost isn't in effect anymore before sales settle down.

Ok ese thanx fuu serio



I guess it depends on what you mean by "deserves". There are a lot of games out there that many gamers feel "deserve" better sales, but I'm not sure what that means. Does a game deserve better sales because a subset of the population thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread? Or does it deserve the sales it gets based on consumer demand, marketing budget, etc.?

If games got the sales they deserved then Beautiful Katamari on the 360 should have sold a bazillion copies... well, in my humble opinion, anyway.

And I really do wish games like LBP were more successful for the same reason I think kids should want science toys for Christmas instead of video games.

Whoa... did I say that last sentence out loud on a video game tracking site? Oops...



they will continue to sell like shit .I can't wait for the November and December NPDs. I also love how some people have excuses for everything .
