Why would I need to see more tv? I've seen tons of wii ads... I see those all the time. They just never show ads for ps3 here.

I only see Wii ads on cartoon network (which means very rarely). Unfortunetaly, they're always about mediocre games like The Conduit and Animal Crossing. Punch out looked great though.

Uh-ohs. Wii fanboy attack imminent!

Nah, AC is mediocre. I guess the conduit is mediocre(It's not for me), but out of all wii games I'll play it the most. Not everyone is an annoying fanboy. I'm a Ninty fanboy, but I don't hate on other peoples opinions.

Anyway I see wii ads all the time on the biggest tv channels in my country. I've seen one xbox360 ad though for gears of war. It was pretty epic too.

Please spread the word. We need more people like you here. :)

Just as Kratos ripped off a guys head, Uncharted will rip Kratos' testicles off. LTD Uncharted: 4.2M vs LTD God of War: 2.1M thats right, Uncharted >>>>>> GooW!!!! Im just waiting for some dum lil God of War fanboy to come in and dispute what they know is the truth! it is true though, i dont have the source on hand either but i believe the tracker for the pirate bay at one time logged 700,000 downloads for GOW COO first day, and overall around 5 million.   Crisis core had about 2million downloads as well. and that`s just one site. I`ve never met anyone other than myself who bought any ps2 games.   GOW pirated at LEAST 1million times, more than likely 2, and gow 2 is probably around 2-3million pirated. remember, these games have no net code and have nothing to offer in terms of online. And I never met anybody that pirated PS2 games.......

you must not get out much

I am amazed by the amount of people that believe the amount of pirated downloads on a torrent site is equivilant to missed sale or even close to it.

^^Surely it has a significant affect on sales

No doubt it impact sales... but no where near as much as the industry wants you to believe. Most of those sale would not have occured within the first place because the person doing the download either does not have the mean or the desire to go out an purchase the game.

There is a phrase my friend like to use to justify his gaming habit (aka piracy). I will buy the game that I think are worth a purchase and download the one that are not.

In developing country it's even more obvious, who has the resource to purchase legitimate games when people have problem keeping the family cloth and fed? In many cases its not even possible to get those games / console through the correct channel, and overall economy (piracy) is the only way they can afford a luxury like gaming.

A girl friend from China once asked me what the 'tray' on the back of her PSP is for, she genuinely does not know that the UMD reader is actually use to play game, she thought they were all 'free' once you bought the system and was amaze that was not the case.

These are the type of people (and they are the majority) who will never buy the game regardless of the ability to pirate.

I hear ya. But at the same time, there's also a ton of piracy in North America and Europe.

people have the thought: "Why pay when I can get it for free?"

Look at how much downloading mp3's has hurt the music business. It's absolutely destroyed it. Record sales are down tremendously (even before the recession).

I wouldnt be surprised if some games were pirated over 1 million times. Now ofcourse, not ALL of those ppl wouldve ended up buying the game, but a lot of them surely would have.
