i hope so but wasnt uncharted bundled also?

Yeah but it wasn't mandatory. It was offered as a pick-and-choose with several other games.

I don't think so...

Yea like said those aren't mandetory. In europe you get 5-6 different games you can choose between with these kind of bundles. Practically always.



Check out my game about moles ^

I like Too Human better than Halo. But you are right, people were probably over critical with the game, because they thought it was supposed to be the third big franchise for the 360, along with Halo and Gears. The game was bashed even before it came out, with bad press. It had a tarnished image from the getgo. So it's kind of surprising it even sold that much.


I liked too human, it was fairly fun. I thin the devs didnt efficiently accomplish what they set out to do with too human. I honestly think that they are gonna come out with a sequel that would truly be impressive. Similar to lost planet and lost planet 2. The devs are really passionate about this game and this universe they created. I also believe it has alot of potential to be a unique franchise. I don't however want it to become multiplat like lost planet 2. 360 needs unique ips.

Honestly though, right now I believe 360 has their third flagship franchise in the works. With Mass Effect 2 I believe the franchise will really blow up, it's certainly gonna be an amazing game.

pbroy, if you like too human and haven't picked up mass effect. Do so now!! It's awesome.

 



Their not even continent wide either. Since Sony has so many divisions in Europe each country has their own bundling.



I seriously don't believe these to be the final numbers. The game had an awesome first week at gamestops across the country, AND its in its 2nd third week right now. Something is wrong....

But you do know in America the 160GB is only bundled with Uncharted.  SO there is no option in North America.

You do know in america there isn't just one model. so there IS an option.

Uncharted

first week: 133k
LTD: 2.45 million

Ratchet and Clank

first week: 126k
LTD: 1.48 million

Heavenly Sword

first week: 106k
LTD: 1.36 million

So it's about in line with other PS3 exclusives. It should be able to sell a millio n.


All those games received significant bundling, Okey. We'll have to see if inFamous receives the same treatment.

Uncharted was near 2 milj. when it got bundled with 160gb systems in america and I really don't remember R&C being bundled....Heavenly sword I agree....



These sales remind me of Ninja Gaiden II (also an early summer release in '08, opened with 285 K, total sales in one year 930,000 for the X360).

1 million lifetime for Infamous is not out of reach yet.

Yeah it only took thier last game which was a sequel to a

popular franchise a month to reach that number of sales.

So those numbers are pretty bad aren't they.

Ok, what? Please elaborate......

 

 

I think he means that Sly 3 had a slow start ;) But then Sly was far more kid-friendly :|



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

I didnt realize that sly 3 in europe wasnt included in the graph for world on this site. But it showed that sly 3 took about 5 weeks to reach that number. I was being sarcastic because infamous being a new IP looks to be doing alot better than their last game so far. I bet their happy with the numbers so far.



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E
