You mean this week viper

There are two weeks left of sales data for 2008 viper

Well technicly imo it can hit 20M, the week ending JAN 3 or w.e

 

Leo, look at the main page again.  PS3 is at 18.78 million with Japan numbers left for the week of the 20th.   Sales numbers for the week of the 27th are all that's left to be reported in 2008.  That means 1 more week plus Japan this current week.   That will not make 1.2 million in sales.

A good game is one that people enjoy. There are plenty of people who enjoy Wii games and have zero interest in these 'highly rated' games. Most of the people I know would rather eat vomit than play Gears of War 2, even though I enjoy it a lot.

MWAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Metacritic shows how in step reviewers are with the PS3/360 and you can see a clear causation between high reviews and high sales.

Metacritic also shows out out of step reviewers are with the Wii and you cannot see a clear causation between high reviews and high sales. Both Wii-Fit and Mario Kart scored 80s and yet they sold in the 10s of Millions.

I agree with that, but it makes it impossible to compare PS3/360 game reviews with Wii game reviews.

Which is why people shouldn't! Even games which are released on all three systems should have their metacritic scores taken with a grain of rock salt.

 



Tease.

you are wrong. This week's numbers are for last week. Then we have this week numbers next week and the last couple days of 2008, the week after.

Well regardless, this has been a pretty entertaining thread. Meltdowns seem more common with the huge numbers that show up during the holidays.

On topic, we really should have more discussion about the 360's tremendous hardware numbers. I expect the crazy stuff from the Wii and DS, not so much for Microsoft. Nearly a million consoles sold this week (worldwide) is absolutely stellar for 360.

Wow I can't believe I just read 30 pages of this stuff. Wow, perhaps the most fun I have had in a forum this year. Were the GC and Xbox guys this bad when they were getting smacked or is this delusion a more recent thing?
