Does no one else find 44k for PS3 in the America sales horrendous? That means that Japan PS3 sales passed America PS3 sales, a rare event.

I do, I feel its only going to get lower though, maybe sub 30k

 

Sub 30k in the Americas? That'd be rough.

What's the next booster for the PS3? Anything on the horizon to be a system pusher?

 

Seeing as Killzone 2 and its massive marketing push did little in that region Infamous isn't going to do much even with an Uncharted Beta.

Sales will just keep dipping ....

 

Yeah Kill Zone 2 had a massive marketing push, especially here in America.

 

It did .........

 

No...it didn't....There was marketing here, but it was not massive...period.

 

WOW what a surprise,  in YOUR area there was apprantly no/little marketing.

PS3 is dying.. I feel sorry the black console.

Also the PSP is doing pretty bad as well.

DSi commercials must be working..

Wii needs software.. badly.

Also 360 is doing swimmingly.

 

You're a little pessimist, aren't you...

Not usually.. those are my moments and I stand by then.  Take 'em or leave 'em.

Na sales for ps3 need to pick up, no doubt price is hitting it hard.

this week last year ps3 was approx 52k, and 360 approx 45k. so that means 360 has bumped up 30k or so with ps3 down a few k.

i feel this trend will continue until sony manages a cheaper to produce ps3 to go on sale.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

Killzone 2 had decent marketing in teh US. The TV spot was played fairly often.

The bulk of its marketing resources were spent on Europe, however. They even painted the sides of buildings!

@cgi - just an observation, but I probably saw twice as many KZ2 ads compared to SSBB. That's moreso me not seeing many SSBB ads at all.

@badicverse

The ads were shown at midnight or later, on adult channels, atleast thats all I ever saw of killzone 2.

Wow - the HD consoles have outsold the Wii by like 50K - Didn't see that one coming any time soon!

 

 I find it shocking that that haven't happen more times then it has since there haven't been any "system seller" released on the Wii for atleast 5 months..

There was the "third party support" that was supposed to sell "amazing numbers" but didn't really go anywhere but I'm not sure if those were supposed to be for system sales or just aimed at the current owners.

 

what third party system sellers?  from what i recall the good third parties are coming out this summer.

or are you someone gonna laugh at wii owners because madworld didn't sell 3-4 million.  idk isn't that the only game that decent this year so far?

I think it was mainly third party support for software, not necessarily system sellers but the software was supposed to be great for the sales of the games at least. There were several titles that were supposed to be decent sellers or at least decent games. Tenchu: Shadow Assassin, Madworld, Sonic & The Black Knight, House of the Dead: Overkill, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, Rygar, and Deadly Creatures. As far as I've heard, House of the Dead: Overkill has sold pretty well but the rest haven't really done anything. I guess it's more for the wii's core audience though to determine which games they like and dislike though. I'm avoiding talking about quality of the games because I've yet to play them either.

I dunno. I hope that the next batch that are coming out will do better with sales, they are starting off already with better scores (LittleKingStory has an 88 on Metacritic which is awesome).

 

 

 

1) Third part support was supposed to be starting about now, which it has.

2) The argument, as recall, wasn't about sales (for which Nintendo is fine), but about the quality of third titles. As for your list:

-Sonic and the Black Knight - I don't know why anyone expects a Sonic game to be anything but crap anymore.

-Mad World, House of the Dead, Deadly Creatures and Tenchu all had solid review.

-Dead Rising was always suspect, and I don't know what sort of interest Rygar had, but these had mediocre reviews overall.

All in all, I think this is still a better showing than we had for the last 3 years.

Precisely.  I think I saw the KZ2 commercial once or twice during the entire time it was released.   Putting Kill Zone 2 on Mountain Dew cans and Bags of Doritos is being 'massively advertised' .  Running "A" commercial a few times a day for about two weeks isn't.
