The interesting bit is that the PS3 version outsold the 360. A lot of people on GAF were saying that nobody would buy it on PS3 because of GOW 3 and that 360 owners were going to be the ones buying such a game.
What's with Dante's Inferno selling better on the PS3?
Oh wait, what? Bioshock 2 on PS3 didn't make the top ten? Maybe Bioshock 3 will be 360 and PC only.
No wii fit, wii play, mario kart wii, and the 360 somehow outsold the wii. What's going on ?!?!??
T_T
360, PS3 and PSP all went up around 30%. Interesting they all shared the same ratio as the month before. Only the Wii and DS really changed.
@PhoenixDark If a console isn't on shelves then it can't sell even if a big game is released for it.
Also, I would be very surprised if GOW III manages to outsell the heavy hitters of March (Pokemon, FF, Battlefield. )

JUST DANCE WII UBISOFT Nov-09 275.4K 4:-\ *sigh* i hate gaming,most stupid hobby ever
I bought the first Pokemon DS title, in part due to nostalgia but mainly due to it introducing online matches. Played for a few months, had fun doing ridiculous trades with Japanese players...but ultimately it felt like a giant rehash with some new window dressing. Sold it and haven't touched anything Pokemon related since.
Pokemon is awesome. Cant wait to buy my copy :bow

You know I'm right.My awesome job has started taking reservation deposits on future shipments of Wii and PS3 recently so yeah, they genuinely are difficult to find in some parts of the land if not everywhere. They were both sparse in January too. Doesn't change the fact that 360 wining in the home console race for the month is pretty major since Wii was perpetually in short supply for the first few years of its existence. Also, TripleA is a stupid cunt.
Pokemon sucks etc etc

Not bad numbers
360 doing cool (though the others seems to have stock problems).
Heavy Rain actually made the fucking top 10 :o, thought the game was gonna bomb epically (other posters thought this as well).
Bioshock 2 PS3 :lol , i guess a year after with a piece of shit version has killed PS3 sales potential

Actually, Pokemon died for me when I learned about effort points.
You know that bullshit about levelling up with rare candies isn't as many stat points as regular battles? That's because there's TWO ways to get stats.
1) Levelling up (Which is also affected by their demeanor or whatever bullshit modifier that they made up)
2) Effort points
EVERY monster you fight adds to your Pokemon's effort points and every 10 or so, they equal a real stat point, up to 255 points spread out amongst all stats.
So you can control what stats your pokemon gets higher in by fighting certain pokemon over and over. (IE: Fight an Onyx to get +2 HP Effort Points)
It recalculates those stat points every time you level up or put your Pokemon into the PC.
Once I realized I had that much control over that bullshit, I gave up on the game. I realized 'training' a pokemon meant actually picking certain creatures for it to fight until I maxed out the effort AND level.
Have they ever explained why there is a supply problem with the PS3?

Just Dance for the Wii saw its sales INCREASE over last month, about a 70% jump.
what the hell?
Happy to see the Wii starting to slide down.
Not sure why the PS3 is this forums whipping boy, though. The hate is thick enough that you can almost slice it with a knife. I just can't figure it out.
All platforms did well, really, only the Wii is showing signs of slowing down (the numbers are still high, but not as high as they had been).
562/192 is not 10:1 for Bioshock.There is no Bioshock on the chart :P

Yeah that's more accurate. I still find PS3 fans to be far more offensive but my ire is largely based on the overall fanatical devotion to a particular platform.

Right, but come on now. The resident x-mind is mighty quick to go into self-congratulatory chants about the power of not taking shit seriously, but as soon as a bonehard fanboy of the other sort finds its way here, the same dudes go into hissyfits and demand lepering and bans. In his short time here, Wollan caused less of a fanboy stink here than the average xtard does in a day, but you couldn't tell that from the reception.

For sure, and that's what makes it a good place as far as I'm concerned. The hypocritical upper crust, that's the creed. But for such a community, it seems a bit too easily rattled. The whole Wollan thing was borderline GAF-like, and nintendosbooger getting lepered to the cheer of the community was definitely of the GAF sort.

NOT THAT I CAN SEE. Mac just stole a huuuuuuge exclusive from Microsoft and PC fans should really start to question their allegiance.
Unibody design, better ventilation/heat distribution, glass trackpad with mouse gestures, faster to load programs, less updates, no viruses, no blue screen of death etc. It may be more expensive, but you're getting quality over quantity. Who would want to spend so much on a PC that's just going to break or get viruses?

I wish my Playstation 1 & 2 had three year warranties. Those fuckers died within seconds of their warranties expiring.
But yeah, M$ was the first company to make faulty hardware. Totally.
And everyone saying "waggle" must be a fucking hit at parties.
-waggle is a novelty that has ran dry, akin to the music game fad a few years ago. i have seen a handful of games where motion controls meaningfully add to the game expereince
-i'm not cheap, but the fact that companies are cockblocking content at launch to sell 108kb keys is lame.
-the 360 is the only console i have ever had die on me.
Yeah, cause every party has to involve fucking vidya. ::)

360 has a one year warranty; three year is only for RRoD issues. I get two red rings or flashing orange rings or whatever, melted graphics cards and corrupted hard drives and disc read errors, but never the big fatty RRoD eye that means "free replacement!"
alright then, don't get all pre-emptively freaked out, 'cuz this is not a bridle i am holding and your snausage is not (yet) my pony

Oh yes you are, Capt. Waggle. Aren't you constantly saying Wii Music is a game?
That Nintendo dude was lame. And I even consider myself something of a Wii defender to a degree. One of my pet peeves about GAF is how the shitty 10% of the community dictates over half the conversation flow in any given thread or on the forum as a whole. The best thing about bore over GAF is the lesser amount of moderation. But at times you have someone like nintendosbooger who comes in and wants to be a primma donna and draw all sorts of attention to himself just to do it. That's lame.
I won't comment on Wollan since I wasn't here at the time.
Bitter nerds, the lot of you. Maybe if you weren't hunched over your desktops squinting into the bulb you could see the good in things.

I had a lot of GC games in the end and surprisingly a lot of 3rd party games.I agree with you. A lot of PS2->GC ports had better load times. The only real sucky part on the GC was the controller. Nice for like 6 games, but the A button and B button REALLY SUCKED after a while. I had to do the torque twist on the controller in a vain attempt to make them useful again.

What I don't get is why Mac fans, like Abrader, continue to claim that Apple is a premium brand. How the hell is it a premium brand if its computers don't even have the highest performing components on the market? The fastest videocard that can run in a Mac is one generation behind, not to mention that multi-GPU configurations are non-existent for that platform.
I don't mind dishing out the money but show me why I should pay that much. You don't buy a BMW or Mercedes for Toyota performance.
Those are important qualities but so is performance. My example still applies. A BMW doesn't just look better than a Toyota.

I'm sure there are ways people can describe mmorpgs as games, but of the dozens of people I know who have been playing it for the past ~5 years don't treat it like one. From my outsider perspective, it's part chat application and part addiction.
that said, Old Republic looks good. I haven't played an mmo more than a few hours but I'm willing to try it if only because the last two bioware games I played were excellent.

That is because a Nintendo fan is required to have his or her gaming tastes change depending completely on what household activity Shigeru Miyamoto likes to participate in. A Nintendo fan can't bitch because that means that they would go against their demigod's latest creation, based loosely off of his tending of his garden or measuring how long his favorite set of anal beads are.
They're not games, because once you reach the level cap, it's more about making your own game with what the program has presented to you.

The PSP Go was destined to fail miserably. You don't release an inferior version of your prior handheld for a higher price and expect to get away with it.
You guys laugh but sony is running to the bank with those Go sales I bet. I mean they cant be cracked so anyone who buys it will buy some games, plus they make an extra 100 on the unit itself.
Pretty much. I would absolutely buy one if it were capable of running custom firmware. It's screaming for it.You guys laugh but sony is running to the bank with those Go sales I bet. I mean they cant be cracked so anyone who buys it will buy some games, plus they make an extra 100 on the unit itself.
Honestly, if they wanted to move the remaining PSP Go units they could just sneak in a easily-discovered buffer overflow into their firmware. That thing would be insanely awesome with some sort of custom firmware.
Why would it be amazing? It's still a PSP in the end. Just get a 2000 and you're set
