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.

With all due respect it's not exactly rocket science to figure out that this would be the case.

It's Halo, dude. Doesn't matter if it is RTS, FPS or QPS.

You know it wasn't a forgone conclusion either. It only sold 100k more and got slaughtered in Others compared to Killzone 2.

Obviously it does matter that its an RTS otherwise it would of sold 4 million 1st week.

1st previews indicated 360 - 25k / PS3 - 50k

2nd previews indicate 360 - 14k / PS3 40k

 

It looks more in favour of the 360.

Nothing is a forgone conclusion these days. If I was a gambler my house would have been on it to beat Killzone2 in N.America. I thought it was that obvious.

In many ways K2 surpassed my expectations.

As this is the "american up" thread and dealing with american sales others don't matter.

 

 



America console sales for this week sees X360 beat PS3 by around 25k.

Preview revealed 40k to 15k in favour of PS3 over X360 in Japan. Current gap in favour of X360 is around 35k over PS3 based on two sales data regions. Add in Japan region and it is 10k victory for X360 over PS3 for the week in ww console sales.
Next week we will see X360 dominate PS3 with Resi Evil 5 being launched in America and Europe/Others that will push X360 over PS3 by a much bigger margin than this week. Next week prediction X360 over PS3 by 40k due to boost in Others and America should favour X360 with its affordable console price.



Edit: oops, wrong thread.............

erm....... GO 360
