Low sales doesn't take away its the best game of its kind so far this gen...

People confuse quality and strong interest in a niche with sales figure.

That they do...

I myself, can't wait for No more heroes 2 to do a 500K opening week :)

So, you going to download the sales figures when the game comes out, and edit it so your dream comes true?

The USA is the last stronghold of the X360... Considering the significant price difference between the PS3 and the X360, if Microsoft loses the US... it might be very very bad...

Competition is good... remember when Blu-ray was fighting against HD-DVD? You could get new BR-Ds for dirt cheap or really amazing promotions... but now... when it's king of the hill... nothing... :/

Competition is bad people, plain and simple.

Let me give you a little happenstance that caused me much anguish. Once I was selling lemonade on a street corner. A great business TBH. You go to the grocery store and purchase some kool-aid packets and some sugar. Big whoop right? And for the water, you simply take a visit to the nearest public toilet. How much $$$ can be gained from? Well, once you factor in the practically nonexistent sunk costs from materials and the returns from price jacking, it's actually quite a substantial amount. But anyways, I digress...

Once upon a time I was selling some tasty lemonade. All went well until I started to get competition. This little girl from across the street opened up a joint and sold the goods for 10% less than me, pft... stupid bitch. As you can imagine, this new found competition did not put a smile on my fucking face, so I cut lemonade prices by over 20%. Business was looking up again! What happened next? She cut prices by over 40%!!! Can you believe that? 20 cents per fucking cup! God dammit, I have a family to feed!!!

What happened next? I hired a guy named Bobo McBobo to break her legs. Next day, no more competition :) But it still scared the shit out of me!!!

In short, competition is bad... I guess...

Here ends the readings from *Patapon, Legends of a Street Lord*

Bayonetta on 360 at least will be a slow burner. I reckon it has a good chance at a million on 360. I don't hold much hope for it making 500K on PS3 though.

What happened to the "all regions' sales info published at the same time" policy? I wasn't expecting any numbers today, so am surprised to see them.

Everyone back to earth with a thump, well Wii making a nice soft landing really.

That's nice and early, the large fall was pretty much expected, hopefully the PS3 take a decent advantage in others. It needs to be eating into the 360's lead at at least 50k per week, at the moment Japan will ensure that, but they will certainly get reasonably close through most of this year. To be honest, it will mostly just be like last year, but in reverse

I completely agree with you.I think there were a few ps3 fans that thought ps3 would outsell 360 at the same rate during the holidays and we all know thats not going to happen.My prediction was that ps3 would average out the begging of the year outselling 360 by around 50k a week untill 360 price drop.
