if our god is still testing us with low figures, go forth and post many hype threads to show our unending devotion even in the darkest hour

and if any heretics claim that there is no salvation at the end of this holy ordeal, rebuke them with gifs

ps3 > 360 by 100k

the xfe will go ballistic, there will be more meltdowns in this thread than in the gaf thread, justinp will be trolled a lot

and the thread won't be as ''big'' as the other ones, after the numbers are posted, because most of the xf's won't be able to take it and will just let it slide; this might just end up being the shortest npd thread on eb

i have seen the future

I think PS3 and 360 numbers will be just about idntical.  Maybe one with a teensy more, as usual.  It was kinda common knowledge that there was a 360 cut upcoming in September, so I'd assume people that look at the net before making purchases held off.

oops -- didn't realize price cut happened so recently.  360 will probably still see a bump, but nothing spectacular until september NPD.  and i think the price cut will help 360 a ton this holiday season.

MS just made the announcement that their sales doubled. I see no reason for PS3 to have a spike, so 360 should have a pretty big win this time around. (relatively speaking, of course)

I bought Too Human....used...for 35 bucks...a week after the game was out!

I'm having fun with the game so hopefully it can keep going at a decent pace.  

HD systems are slow, hopefully the 360 price cut can increase sales capacity.  Madden PS3 sales are a really good improvement year over year, so there is hope yet.  But it looks like the 360/PS3 userbase will be splitting up the PS2 userbase.  Which means more boring sales age numbers.  Look at the top 10...Madden...wiifit....wiiplay..wowwowow so exciting.

Too Human was predicted @ around 400-450 for the month, inline with other August 360 releases.

Negative word of mouth did the damage. Thank god Dyack couldn't keep his mouth shut, now shitty games sells shitty.

Gow cost 15 million, but U3 development isn't counted. Too Human cost 20 million or so for sure. After the negative wave they had to do another deal with MS, a less beneficial deal, which is probably why the final version of Too Human looks like it lacks so much in production values.

They should have released it on a real console like the Wii or DS instead of on the MaddenBOX. Casual Madden/Halo gamers aren't going to buy Tales of Vesperia.

Wasn't Vesperia only out for like 4 days in August?  I have no doubt it will sell acceptably for a jrpg, but it's really not the sort of game that has an omg midnight launch style mega launch.

It should sell well.  Best Tales game, RPG of this gen so far, and RPG of the year so far.

Post by: Oblivion on September 12, 2008, 02:15:58 AM
Last gen. was different for a few reasons. I think within the third year of the PS2's life, it became painfully obvious to X/Nfags that it was over. Sony slaughtered the competition, and the only thing that Xfags could latch onto were shooters and better tech, and Nfags with Nintendo games and slightly better tech as well. From a games standpoint though they were both massacred, and most were smart enough not to try and battle Sfags on the sales and games front. If they did, they would be brushed off as clinically insane, and everyone else would go about their day.


This gen is a whole other matter entirely because EVERY fanboy faction has something to gain. Not just Ninthings. All 3 are trying to seek validation, and no one is getting any entirely. Nintendo fans have the sales, but not the games or the tech. Xbox fans might not have the hardware sales, but they get the games, and usually the better versions, which is symbolically a huge victory over Sony fans. And then we have Sony fans who should be glad that they still get most of the games the 360 does with little difference, but of course, that's not enough. It's never enough. Sony, the once unbeatable juggernaut in the world of video games is now a laughingstock, barely doing that much better than the Gamecube did. It eats them up inside.

Also, 95% of sales rarely go more than a few pages if it's just a circle jerk. The ones that blow up tend to do so because you have two idiot factions (sometimes all 3) duking it out. I mean if you need any proof, you need to look no further than the NPD thread from a few months ago where a whole legion of Sfags were banned a few days prior. The result? The slowest moving NPD thread in history. :lol

You know, the Wii is really for non gamers.

My kid sister didn't like games, and even with the Wii she doesn't play much games, but she would play wii sports with her friends, and she finished Lego Indiana Jones on it. 1st game she ever finished.

So the Wii does have a purpose.

Honestly, this is one of the most pro-Xbox place i have ever seen, including some Xbox forums themselves. Not that i care that much (i don't have either an Xbox or PS3 yet, and am still to decide), but i somehow expect more of this place...

Right now the 360 is simply the better system and it has been like this since the start of the gen. Last gen it was all about the PS2 for me for example.

But yeah, as as been noticed, aside from the jokes thrown around, and the messing around, most of us have all of the systems. :)

Title: Re: The official Evilbore August NPD thread of TRUE gaming!!!
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on September 12, 2008, 09:36:34 AM
The only systems at my place are a PS3 and a Wii; I still troll them.  Why?  They are still not worth the money.  360 was worth the money almost instantly because a flood of good games arrived at launch or shortly after.  The PS3 still needs to prove itself.  A couple of good games and a slew of rental-worthy games does not a good system make.  In the end of the generation, I have no doubt that it will be worth owning.

I probably won't get another 360 until the Premium is at $199.  That will probably be another couple of years but I'm willing to wait.

The Wii will probably never prove itself.  I still believe that Mario Galaxy is the best game that will ever come from the system, unless they make a Galaxy 2 for it.  Developers still aren't stepping up and delivering the good software.  All the major Nintendo iterations of games are out or nearing completion.  What Nintendo is going to do from 2009-2011 or 2012 probably is unknown.  Probably release a bunch of non game junk and a new Zelda.

I have no problem with people who normally don't play games pick up the Wii and enjoy it.  The problem is when Nintendo spends resources that could have been used to make actual games on shit like Wii Music and a DS port of Animal Crossing.  This is all made worse by Wii fans.

That's basically it... no matter what the genre, 360 is the king for games so far. The average EBer loves their games (more so than company loyalties or sales charts), so naturally they will be drawn to the system with the best and most games. Last gen, would you have accused us all of being Sony fanboys?

Arcade unit six times the usually selling rate!

ps3 > 360 by 100k

the xfe will go ballistic, there will be more meltdowns in this thread than in the gaf thread, justinp will be trolled a lot

and the thread won't be as ''big'' as the other ones, after the numbers are posted, because most of the xf's won't be able to take it and will just let it slide; this might just end up being the shortest npd thread on eb

I would totally help you make a shitty webcomic about boats representing video game consoles.

seriously... how much worse could it be than what is out there ?

Maybe we should try to make it deliberately unfunny and see how many fans we can get?

I might just whip XFMistress into drawing a whole bunch of characters, then we can just cut and paste together some sort of crap.
