Well, I mean, compared to other PS3 games, this isn't a BOMBA bomba.  Despite my ejaculations, I gave HS fairly harsh criticism.  It still might be one of my favorite experiences of the year, but there's plenty of room for improvement.  I still say on an objective scale, as objective as I could get, it'd probably be a 6, maybe a bit more.  The nicest things I will say about it right now are that the production delivers on any possible hype, and I will be paying close attention to whatever Ninja Theory does next.

Here hoping Bungie employees got a decent bonus plan for Halo 3 sales.  3.3 million in less than a month.  WOW.

Also Halo 3 was a system seller, unlike Reggie said it would be.

Ruz: youre such a fuck moran. Most people bought X360s well in advance because they knew Halo 3 was coming. God damnit youre a bad troll.

Why would people buy X360s in advance? Why risk of losing a pricedrop?

You're an idiot. Keep those insults to yourself next time, big boi.

Like I said before, the original Xbox had much bigger surges in sales thanks to Halo.


You only really have halo 2 to compare it too and the xbox 1 was cheaper than the 360 is now which would probably account for the other 200, 000.

Even though its on track to beat the second one, I was hoping for better sales of metroid 3.

Bioshock is slowing down too.  Didn't they say they shipped 1.5 million copies of bioshock?   their at about half that now.

Numbers for Metroid Prime 2: http://cube.ign.com/articles/579/579600p1.html

KISS MY DICK, BILLY RYGAR

that number is only for the first two months Ruz.  I think it ended up doing over 800, 000 in the end though.

So in the first two months 3 is 100, 000 off of 2 but then it hasn't released in Europe yet and its working on half the instillation base. 


I bet it beats two but doesn't beat the first one in the end.

Reggie said Halo 3 wouldn't be a system seller? :lol

It wasn't so much a system seller for this month, but halo 3 sold systems before its release.  3.3 million units vs 527 consoles means if every console sold bought Halo 3 it would be 16% of H3 purchasers buying a console. In comparison, the Wii & Wii Play percentage would be 56% according to the same hypothetical.

Good to see the hurt still being laid on Sony. But sucks about no BD  :'(

Still surprised the Wii came so close to beating 360, even with 360's biggest game, and absolutely nothing for the system, next month should be insane for the Wii (barring supply shortages) with Galaxy.

ouch.... from an MS press release.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/npd/npd-numbers-the-microsoft-take-312653.php

Quote
In its first two weeks, the three editions of "Halo 3" placed #1, 2 and 3 overall for console title sales - for a total of more than $225 million in sales in the U.S. with 3.3 million units. Average unit prices were $69 per game. The $130 "Halo 3: Legendary Edition" alone sold twice as many units as the top title for PS3 "Heavenly Sword" (SCE); the helmet is mightier than the sword.

The two titles on my mind were MP3 and Zelda although I do own around 6-8 WII games.  I buy a crap WII game every now to justify my WII purchase. 

Did anyone notice that PS3 gamers apparently don't buy games either?  Heavenly Sword sold like 140k and Warhawk less than 50k.  I guess only the Sfags at GAF give a crap about Warhawk.   There've probably been quite a few blu-ray movies that've sold more than 50k.

I haven't even played Zelda yet =/

I have Wii Sports and Prime, but am a poor bastard.  Want Zak & Wiki(adventure love), GGXX Accent Core and Zelda! Then pickup Mario. I also wanted Endless Ocean but I believe that is delayed. I will pickup Super Paper Mario when i have time to finish it, but it is a good game as well. Money wise I will end up only getting Mario in all reality. Orange Box might tempt me to make my yearly PC purchase as well.

the only thing that I REALLY hate about SPM is how Treehouse gave it yet another internet nerd-aware translation and people praise it as being funny and clever.

portal is clever. SPM is self-indulgent.

I just think SPM is a game with an uneven difficulty curve, less personality than each of its predecessors, and extremely sharp high and low points. It's text heavy, but that doesn't bother me because I expected that going in. The replacement of random battles with..."jump on enemies" seemed kinda dumb. It simplified the RPG elements and the platforming just wasn't there.

The puzzles were challenging, but the monsters didn't do too much damage. It wasn't boring at all though. I got up to 4-3 or 4-4 I think and ended up lost in one of the levels.

those treehouse douchenozzles are writing for an audience of roughly three. two of whom are chris kohler. one of these days miyamoto is going to find out that some snarky americans are filling mario games with unfunny references to videogame message boards. and on that day his tiny yellow cock will flesh itself in certain quivering nerd sphincters

360 SKATE ELECTRONIC ARTS 5 175K

Although hyp is pry the only person on here to care about this...I've got a couple of questions...

1) Is this enough copies sold to guarantee a sequel?

2) If so, where should I go to burn an effigy so that EA doesn't start f'ing this game up?

With the PS3 game, it's over 200k. That has to be a successful debut.

is 200k combined units considered a success these days?

Well, according to Namco, anything less than 500k is not a success for next gen games.

200K means about $10 million and I think the average game last gen would cost $5 million but it's supposed to be 2-3X more expensive this gen I think.

edit: oh.

Those BD and ES sales are fucking horrible. I guess they're right, the typical 360 fanbase only buys FPS and racers :(

My three 360 games are FPSs and the fourth one will be too. I'm sorry.  :(

BD was marketed horribly.  I guess MS gave up on it once it got a couple of mediocre reviews.

Neither game had any form of marketing push. I'm glad ES bombed, what an embarassing game.

But still, BD at least sold 300k in japan by now, and i am pretty sure US+EU sales will push it near 500k.

should be good like that, Viva Pinata sold something like this worldwide and Rare were happy with it.
