Forums - Sony - inFamous gets 147% increase in pre-sales.

Isn't that like...a 1.5 increase in sales? And aren't these sorts of things rankings instead of actual sales? And what about the games that one game that had a 4700% increase on Amazon? Does Amazon even indicate anything?

Well, enough questions for now.

Looks cool, but I'll probably rent it first or borrow from a friend.

I miss Hulk Ultimate Destruction. it was an amazing superhero game open world game. First open world game i loved more than spider man2 to be honest. Hopefully this game fills in my Open world superhero needs. Electricity and dark atmosphere are always 2 plus' for me.

Well thats great news... I dont think it will be a massive hit, but it could end up beeing a decent 800k seller LT ;) that would be nice IMO :D



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

It's very well known that Amazon is not what one should use to predict sales of a game. I cannot see why people are interested in this game TBH, looks very meh especially with a game like Prototype around the corner.

This is another misleading sales article from PunchJump.  ( http://news.punchjump.com/article.php?id=7712 )  They continuously write stories mistaking increase in sales rank to increase in sales.

Looking at today's Amazon sales rank Movers ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/movers-and-shakers/videogames/ref=pd_ts_vg_mte ) , Destroy All Humans for the 360 has a sales rank increase of 7,204%!!  What does that mean?  It went from the 2,995th best selling game to the 41nd.  (2,995-41)/41 = 72.04

A game that goes from #3 best seller to #1 seller on Amazon is listed as a 200% increase in sales rank, even though sales may be the same or less. (3-1)/1 = 2.00
