Seeing JUST DANCE at the top of the charts each week makes me smile because it shows how little online journalism and aggregated review websites can matter.

In a world where Twilight smashes records you really needed more convincing that sometimes crap sells a lot?

Who says Just Dance is crap?

He is obviously, because it's not targeted to him. Everything tween girl like is crap you see(see his Twilight argument) he probably considers that Disney girl "crap" too, along with the three brother band. The funny thing is that whatever is targeted at tween boys is probably fine in his book. Energy drink like Redbull, "M" rated game, manga, unknow indie band ect. ect.

It seems like not that long ago Nintendo fans on this site all had "boycott Ubisoft" in their sigs, swearing never to buy a Ubisoft product again until they started putting a decent effort into their Wii games. Now you're cheering for the shovelware? LOL.

Nintendo fans are not a homogenous blob. If one Nintendo fan says 'boycott Ubisoft' and another later says 'go Just Dance!', how is either one guilty of hypocrisy?



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I make a mistake after read the article... the numbers for ME2 is low... very low.

it's ok really, especially considering that DD is now considerably bigger than retail. Mass Effect should sell even more on DD.

the best part is that when it comes to PC games, the first week usually only amounts to 10% or less of the lifetime sales. So if ME2 PC sold 50k (20k retail, 30k DD) first week in the UK, it will probably still sell over 400k or maybe even 500k.

That's not true. I think Transformers 2 is just as bad as Twilight. A bad movie is a bad movie, regardless of who it's targeted at.

But this is way off topic. Don't quote me.

I don't know, but I know one thing - most of the games sales in EU are shit. I don't know why people buy consoles in EU if they don't buy games, it looks like for most of the year they play the same fifa or some racer games.

Hi Shio!

I might quote this one sentence again:

Sales of ‘Mass Effect 2’ on Xbox 360 are almost double that achieved first time round and three times higher on PC

Is Shio still banned or why are you using this fake acc?

 



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Indeed! Someone should permaban this daggy character, posing as myself. An outrage I say!
