 """"""""""""That's your answer and that's your death, pulling shit from that banned site, is equal as getting your ass banned.

And for the sake of the discussion, the UK chart track showed bayonnetta at 5th position better than darksiders, and those are actual numbers, so who knows?...let's wait until the NPD thread.""""""""""

You can read at Kotaku that Walmart and Best Buy are out of Elites 120Gb - probably 250Gb version is going to take 120Gb place, because 120Gb drives are nowhere to be found and there is comming another 50$ gift card for 120Gb Elites at Game Stop probably to sell the remainig stock before 250Gb version comes in.


Except if there are 2 million shipped yet unsold 360s in the wild, there is no reason for any store to be sold out of them...

unless a majority of those consoles were bought by Walmart/big box stores.


Walmart was one of the ones he said was sold out of elites though.

ah, maybe it's the opposite. Walmart had some fantastic deals this holiday and sold a shitload of 360s. Maybe they drowned out the competition and now a bunch of stores severely underperformed?

Wii, DS & PS3 had record sales for the second week of Janury in North America.
X360 had it's second best year, same as above. No comments on the PSP.

Such positive numbers all around in the beginning of the 4th/5th/6th year of sales could signal a small buying pattern shift towards early January. It should not be considered a preview of the sales trend in the year to come.

That's my technical analysis

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*

Hmmm.... okay...

I bow down to your logic...

/goes to bed.

1st reaction: Holy crap the Wii is high!

2nd take: Actually, the DS is running low. Must be post-holiday supply constraints.

Old news, the PS360 battle is far more interesting

I don't find a battle for 2nd place too interesting TBQH. I mean it's like watching the battle for the silver medal in the olympics.

It used to be interesting because it would likely determine where third party support would end up for in the core side of the market. Now that it is turning out quite even it's fairly irrelevant for that. Similarly, reaching 50% marketshare won't be as important to Wii as if third parties were interested in supporting it in the first place. It could go as low as 40% or as high as 60% and it probably wouldn't change third party attitudes to Wii.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

A new year begins...and the drop isn't as bad as I expected.
