Isn't the Titanfall team relatively small?

How long does that licensing agreement the NFL signed with EA run?  Just wondering...

[archnemesis]

Doesn't the license expire this year? One of the moderators over at NeoGAF made a thread about it recently.

[iconoclast]

Wow, 180k opening for EDF4. I had no idea the series was so popular.
 

[Shaka Khan]

How broken is it this time, and have they released patches yet?

[iconoclast]

The 360 version isn't immune to crashes either (I beat it yesterday and it froze on me 3 times), but there's nothing as bad as that. Turning off the screen shake is supposed to help with the crashes & framerate if you've been playing it.

[Shaka Khan]

in the ps3 version, once you reach a certain level, the framerate frequently drops to the single digits and the game crashes constantly.  they've said they're working on a patch, but I don't think it's out yet.  probably too late to salvage the game's sales, though.  i'd be surprised if even a quarter of the people who bought the ps3 version haven't already sold it to the shop.

Wow

I'd love to see an ubisoft football game just to see how ubisoft it would be.  checklists for everything (25 sacks to unlock dan marino jersey, etc) and somehow fit in borgia towers.

Also a Watchdogs-esque mode where you play a security guard attempting to prevent various terrorist attacks at the stadium.

Damn, I don't feel any remorse over not importing EDF4 now.

Titanfall is a source engine game, no sp campaign and all the work that goes with that, shit is cheap.

Sometimes I worry about the way your head works.

Fortunately the hardware’s focus on accessibility and familiarity made it easy to incorporate indies. Cerny always aimed to nurture creativity at any level. “We wanted the focus to be on the games that the creative directors wanted to make, rather than the minutiae of the hardware. That’s universal,” says Cerny. “That’s true whether you’re talking Destiny with their 700-strong team or you’re talking one guy doing everything. They want to focus on the creative vision.

Celebi.com was probably already taken or if it wasn't Nintendo would've put the smackdown pretty fast. Nobody cares about the bastardized transliterated version domain.

Plus the whole thing I suppose.

“To quote Nintendo during E3, 'software sells hardware', which is evident in this month's 3DS results. Strong double-digit increases in the 3DS hardware sales were coupled with triple-digit digit increases in software for June sales. 3DS software sales momentum is building due to a steady flow of content over the past few months, leading to positive year-to-date sales results,” NPD analyst Liam Callahan said. “Animal Crossing: New Leaf also sold well in the context of first-party games for the 3DS, having the third highest first-month sales next to two launches from holiday 2011: Mario Kart 7, and Super Mario 3D Land.”

One new piece of hardware NPD started tracking this past month was Ouya. It's been a slow uptake, however. "June 2012 was the first month of retail sales for Ouya (not counting direct sales through ouya.tv) and were relatively light for a new console," Callahan added. "This may be due to the lack of a major marquee title driving consumers to seek out the console, low awareness due to Ouya being a new brand, or low inventory volume due to manufacturing constraints.”

Callahan also put some context around Naughty Dog's hit, The Last of Us: “The Last of Us was the top selling game at retail in the month of June. To put this in context, it had the second highest first-month sales of a PS3 first-party game, after God of War 3 in March 2010. The Last of Us was also the third highest game to launch during the month of June since NPD began tracking sales in 1995.”

Last of Us didn't beat GOW3 numbers but still did well for itself (and excluding digital sales, etc)

So far

Nintendo 3DS: 225K 
Xbox 360: 140K

From PR and 360 is still top console.

Gotta wait on the rest from cream and maybe our resident grouch.

[Human Snorenado]

Well, I think I'll just make an educated guess and say the Wii U sold for shit again last month if I don't hear back from anybody.

[radioheadrule83]

If AZ Greg's post wasn't a guess, its possibly done a worse weekly average in the US this month than Japan.

[Steve Youngblood]

Yeah. If that number pans out, it's merely a coincidence.

[cool breeze]

minecraft 360 retail sold ~350k.  wild considering it's the late retail version of an already successful digital game that's a gimped late port of a successful PC game.

[Purple Filth]

from cream

wario ~ 12k
 mc > 350k
 TLOU ~ 985K (2 editions)

not bad.

also Creepy Old guy this seems to be the pecking order for this month.

3DS - 225K
360 - 140K
PS3 - 108K
Wii - 53K

I haven't really been following for a while, but why does PS3 sell so bad in the US?  I would have thought high sales of TLoU would have at least pushed it ahead of Xbox this month.

Deadpool made the top ten? Wow.

[Purple Filth]

it sells that bad everywhere right now.  The hardware market is kaput right now.  New systems are announced, dated, and priced.

Software is dead for the most part, too.  TLoU sold well to the Uncharted crowd, but the thing about them is, they already have PS3s.

It doesn't help that the prices for the systems are still high at this point in their life cycle

Kind of makes me wonder if PS4's advantages are even enough to get it in the household compared to Xbox.  I didn't realize how bad the PS3 name was in the US.  I kind of thought it did shitty for years but now was about on par, if not better, than the X360.  But it looks like PS3 is 2nd class citizen in the west.  Gonna be hard to turn that mentality around with the new systems imo.

The only time brands mean anything is when all other factors are equal.  In that case, the reigning champion usually wins again.

So this means Playstation will win 4 gens in a row?
