What the fuck is Just Dance? :lol
Didn't like Bayonetta.You didn't like Bayonetta or you didn't like the PS3 port? Let me know if it's the first so I can ignore your gaming opinions from now on.
It's what they get for releasing a PS3 build that's half-done.
I thought Darksiders would sell more than that. There was a lot of positive hype about it around release.
But still...damn xbots,why didnt you buy Bayonetta? :'( :'(

I thought Mass Effect 2 sold 2 million in a week?
apparently Army of Bros 2 is even more distinguished mentally-challenged than the original. How the hell does this series sell so well?

They're to busy buying Modern Spamfare and Army of Bros. :'(

I played the japanese PS3 demo and felt the game was about flash more than substance. Like if Devil May Cry had constant Maxim-ish nudity and even more scripted attack sequences.
Nothing inherently WRONG with it, but after the second time she lost all her clothes and did the exact same maneuver I got bored. Kinda like Gungrave.
I didn't feel like I had CONTROL of what was going on, rather it was presented TO me.
I almost 5 starred Hangar 18 today. :smug

Bayonetta's sold over a million copies worldwide, don't think it qualifies as a bomb.
Unlike me seeing Bayonetta not make the Top 10. The game is flat out embarrassing.
Shipped vs sold - nobody cares.
Glad to hear Bayonetta is selling well, bodes well for a sequel.

Fuck off loser.
Bayo shipped 1.1 million. Sega most likely made its money. I'm hopeful for a sequel.
Yeah. Man, who judges a game based off a demo? It's not like they release for people to determine whether they want the game or not. You should also tell me if you bought Dead or Alive Extreme games, so I can ignore YOUR gaming tastes. Hurr hurr.
Shipped vs sold - nobody cares.
It's so weird to see people somehow still hoping against hope that the PS3 is going to catch up to the 360. This generation has been decided. It's BEEN decided for at least the last two years.

Except for the fact that game budgets require releases on BOTH platforms now to make it viable. A slight lead means nothing.

See this is the part where you're mistaken. This is why the whole shipped vs. sold argument is bought about. Stoney Mason had a good point that the decent japanese sales might convince sega to publish a sequel. Yet shipping 1.1 million copies worldwide means alot of product is just sitting there on the shelf. This is dumb thing to discuss until we get the top 20 though.

Looks like Capcom had two mega bombs in a row on the HD consoles with Bionic Commando, and Dark Void.
Sony's Spin "PlayStation was the only company to see consumers in three territories (UK, US and Japan) spending 15% more on PS3 software in 2009 than they did in 2008 – this is while the category as a whole experienced a 9% decline in software sales. We’re nowhere near slowing down in the new year as today’s NPD numbers show a 36% sales increase on PS3 hardware when compared to last January."
You would think they would have another game in the top 10.
Oh, to be young and happily naive.

Bayonetta's sold over a million copies worldwide, don't think it qualifies as a bomb.
Those are shipped numbers.
Seriously guys, its important what the sell through is. You can like a game and understand it didn't perform well in the marketplace.
Depends. If you can convince stores your game is gonna be BIG and ship them x amount of copies, you win.
The problem is that next time around they might not be fooled so easily.
While it's sad, for the most part the game market is not decided by how many people actually buy a game but by how well a company markets a game to stores.

Isn't NPD just US sales anyway? Bayonetta shipped 1.1 million internationally. How'd it sell in Japan and Europe?

At least with MvC, the characters were known. Who in America knows about any of the Tatsunoko characters outside of Gatchaman?
The neogaf kids are surprised that Bayonetta didn't chart? Seriously?I thought DMC fans would buy it especially after seeing all the great reviews, but I guess I was wrong.

And its really no surprise that the sell through for Bayonetta hasnt been great. The wacky jappy aesthetic would turn the majority of US Xbox owners away from the game. Darksiders outsold it as its just your typical buff warrior types cruising around looking for bros, which is what the game companies think that it is so marketable

looks like were going to to have to spell this out in plain english for our TripleA:
1 million units shipped counts a decent numbers, as the STORES have paid for one million copies from Sega. Store pays publisher for product (shipped), we pay store and get our game (sales).

PS3 is done for and hell it was done for for the last 3 years.
It is kind of sad the only PS3 titles that break "millon copies sold" barrier are shitty multiplatform titles like Modern Warfare 2 or another FIFA game.
I will still own one for GoW3 and FF13 though.

I dont think so,unless you mean by chart position in UK,but be warned,last week UK MAG sales where less than 23k,first week was less than 43k...we know this because MW2 sales are known,via percentage dropI cannot believe that MAG charted so high. I like the game and all, but I never expected it to be in the top 20.
It's done much better than that in Europe. Sort of surprising, but I guess it's a shooter by Zipper, so there's probably a default audience there.
You're right, that isn't great for a fist party game. Maybe it would have done better in the summer when the Modern Warfare bug had died down and Bad Company 2 had a chance to release.
For a shooter, it's not very welcoming to players that want a quick bullet-fest. It's a game that takes time to really grasp and even then, you probably wont be pulling down kill after kill.

Mojo - Last I heard/read was Sony was at 33 million and MS was at around 39 million WW shipped/sold.
Its got at least 2 years left in it. Both of them do. The Ps3 could catch up in 2 years. It likely won't, but you never know.
Anyways, sales figures are distinguished mentally-challenged, because MS will make tons more money from this generation than Sony.

wow, impressive stuff for Sony. Their brand equity saved their asses this gen, as hard as they tried to squander it.
Anyone know off hand how many 360s were sold in the first year? I would guess about 7-10 million, but I know there were supply problems for some months, along with there not being a ton of system sellers.
Yeah, Sony isn't nearly as far behind as people believe.360 still leads about 1.5 million in Europe...in 2010...real data not shipped :lol
Capcom has sold 1.1M copies of the game. Retailers resold 550k in two territories in the launch month. Call that 800k globally? If retailers are not happy selling 800k copies in the first month, perhaps they will only order .8M copies of Capcom's next theoretical new IP action game. Who gives a shit?

Some retailers are able to send them back to the publisher if they are unsold though.

to the tune of 6m? those look a bit high for korea, hk, china etc.
wait, according to that chart Sony are are 23m in US and Europe. Where the fuck do they get the extra 10m for their world wide total?! lol.Easy
there's 4m or so in japan, the other 6m ? Australia? ;)
I think the shortage is real. Only saw about 6 Ps3s across 3 different retailers when I went shopping for a PSU last weekend.
The question is are they deliberately under-shipping?
