umm thanks I guess.

[demi]

umm thanks I guess.

No need to front, look at those numbers. PS3 is doomed. Welcome your new Xbox overlords.

[abrader]

But I own more X360 games than PS3 games or number of XBOX games you own.

Welcome me - YOUR XBOT overlord.

[demi]

Welcome me - YOUR XBOT overlord.

You bought Sonic, why would you gloat about that?

[MrAngryFace]

Decent 360 hardware numbers. Now its only about 1/4th below Wii, and Bioshock saved christmas from the looks of it lololol. I am surpised madden wii is doing so well.

[Van Cruncheon]

HAHAHAHAHAHA WII MADDEN BELOW ORIGINAL XBOX NUMBERS, EA NINTHINGS AM CRY AHUAHUAHAUHAUHAU

[abrader]

But I own more X360 games than PS3 games or number of XBOX games you own.

Welcome me - YOUR XBOT overlord.

You bought Sonic, why would you gloat about that?

But for PS3, not X360.

I AM YOUR x360 overlord - the 4 corners of the x represent my 4 cocks.

Bow down

[demi]

When you climb up and reach my score you can talk. Don't front on my doorstep.

Just 40000 more to go.

[abrader]

OUCH - Gamerscore frontality.

All that means is you were a zombie enough to stomache playing sneak king

[BlueTsunami]

Looks like PS3 got the JUGz stead of the HUGz

[demi]

OUCH - Gamerscore frontality.

All that means is you were a zombie enough to stomache playing sneak king

Sneak King both looks and plays better than Lair.

and Heavenly Sword.

And it only cost me two fitty.

[Fragamemnon]

So basically, third party mass-market games like Madden sell at roughly a 9:1 ratio on the 360 versus the Wii.

I don't think the kind of PS2-level third party support by Western companies is ever going to materialize like the ninthings so desparately want. Wii = mascot games and wacky jappy games, provided the latter don't just get made for the PSP or DS instead.

[abrader]

Wow Wasnt MP3 corruption the Wii flagship title?

I saw it in Gamestop today - I couldnt tell any difference in between it and MP1 or 2 on the GCN.

[Smooth Groove]

HAHAHAHAHAHA WII MADDEN BELOW ORIGINAL XBOX NUMBERS, EA NINTHINGS AM CRY AHUAHUAHAUHAUHAU

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Bobobobo
Gamestop Employee of the month Anihawk said it was selling way better than ps3.  EA can't be happy with this month.

Don't forget to laugh at the Sfags too.  360 Madden sold almost as much as the PS2 & PS3 versions combined.  Bioshock also sold 1/2 million.  Bu bu bu the SDF said that everyone and their mom were playing Bioshock on the PC!  lolz

Sfags and Ninthings am cry.  

OUCH - Gamerscore frontality.

and Heavenly Sword.

Ha ha, Xbots win again.  Sfags need to hide in the corner for at least a month. 

[MrAngryFace]

From all ive heard MP3 is a really solid game, looks aside.

[Fragamemnon]

Bioshock will have good legs all the way through Christmas, too. Take Two really just might sell 2.5 million worldwide at full price before all is said and done.

[Fragamemnon]

From all ive heard MP3 is a really solid game, looks aside.

For what it is worth, the game was only out for like four days before the close of the sales period. Still, it wouldn't have gotten anywhere near Bioshock on just the 360 even if it was out over the same period Bioshock was.

What confuses me is why Ninthings even give a shit about western 3rd party shovelware. I bought my Wii for mascot games and wacky weird shit. I suppose you could talk forever trying find the reasoning behind fanboyism

[bluemax]

Level design is the worst of the 3 3D Metroids. Its sad that they peaked with the first game in the series.

Anywho Madden 360 > Madden PS2 == next gen is here.

[Madrun Badrun]

MP3 had only one week of sales right? 

[etiolate]

It's good to see Bioshock and Metroid topping "real gaming" as you all would put it.


And 3rd party sales and Sports title sales are two different beasts.  Sports titles sold well on Xbox, but Japanese third party titles did not.  The sports gamer rarely buys outside of the sports sim genre.  It's a large, but singular sales driving force.

[hyp]

price drop confirms 360's victory over PS3.   no damage control can save sony right now. 

i just caught drinky's quote on gaf:

wii for social pseudo-gaming ONLY confirmed. gaf mods, please move all future discussion of wii product to the ot forum.

The reasoning being that more games > more console sales > more games.

Madden's never really sold well on Nintendo consoles. Even on SNES, I believe. And there was no reason for Madden on Wii to sell better either, since everyone said it's actually a step back from last year.

Not to mention most were probably waiting for Metroid anyway.

[Gay Boy]

Sony is dead dead dead. Solid numbers for Xbox 360 price drop. It's really securing itself as a very stable second place. No need to comment on Nintendo, it's the market leader and it's getting boring to keep mentioning it.

i agree.  i'm glad bioshock sold well along with metroid prime 3.  the hardcore will survive!

[The Sceneman]

Theres a lot of doomsaying regarding proper gaming coming to end, but theres always going to be a lot of cunts who wanna play some sweet games

madden XBOX1 > wii

 

[thekavorka]

you guys are no better than the gaming-age dumbasses

wtf is this sales-age shit

[demi]

Shut up, taco. It's just one thread. You don't post anyway, how does this affect you?

[thekavorka]

It's just funny how you guys always make fun of the people on gaming-age for this type of stuff. and now you guys are doing the same thing.

[Oblivion]

Madden sold atrocious.  I believe even sub Gamecube bad.

Oh, I agree. It's utterly pitiful. And I'm surprised it was doing worse than GC, when last year the Wii and PS3 versions sold about the same (and higher). Was just pointing out that Metroid probably had an effect. Nothing came out last year in August for GC I think.

[demi]

It's just funny how guys always make fun of the people on gaming-age for this type of stuff. and now you guys are doing the same thing.

You mean our ONE thread in the middle of a HUNDRED regular threads? Go wipe the shit off your lip, gaymo.

If you want Excel sheets, you're welcome to head over to GAF. We are just making fun of Sony.

[hyp]

It's just funny how you guys always make fun of the people on gaming-age for this type of stuff. and now you guys are doing the same thing.

you don't find that madden on xbox1 selling better than madden on wii is funny?  get a sense of humor, dude.

[Gay Boy]

It's just funny how you guys always make fun of the people on gaming-age for this type of stuff. and now you guys are doing the same thing.

We have a NPD thread every month.

But that's the thing. EVERY MONTH. We have one a month since the gaming board opened, unlike gaf which has 1000 a day.

Who's thekavorka?

You never know.  Look at fighting games, they are still done but nowhere as much as in the 90s.

As for MP3, I think the first MP is still king as far as 3d metroids is concerned.  They nerfed the backtracking and exploration of metroid for mp3 and thats bullshit.

GO GO GO Two Worlds GO

Edit: 400 posts yay.

[hyp]

I dunno.  We should start having a weekly Japanese sales chart and one of the Gaijin pedos teachers here can go around his town and report on the stock of Wiis in each store in order to impress us with the fact that they live in Japan.

someone invite tnw here, maybe it'll get this place POPPIN'

[BlueTsunami]

I agree with kavorka with the sales age shit. I would snuff any spreading of sales age shit in the form of other threads. I think its harmless when its self contained in one thread.

What really matters is Sales Age talk on Evilbore is more done in jest. Most of the threads consist of real talk, bout' real gaming.

QFMFT!!! It's even funnier because wasn't it just a year or two ago where people were comparing EA to Satan himself, especially after the NFL exclusivity deal?

As for NPD, I am really upset that BD didn't even crack the top 20, and fucking TWO WORLDS did

[demi]

Who's thekavorka?

He wants to steal your buckcherry.

[Oblivion]

Lair 45k
Blue Dragon 53k
Warhawk 58.6k

[The Sceneman]

I partially agree with you as it could be construed as hypocritcal. The thing is GAF is loaded with distinguished mentally-challenged jfags and fanboys, and we actually play games here. And this thread is still taking the piss out of sales-age discussion to a degree

[demi]

It's just one sales thread. Who cares? It will pass by the end of the weekend. Damn, you are more gay than Nick (the poster).

Now everyone laugh that Two Worlds outsold both LAIR and WARHAWK

[hyp]

As for NPD, I am really upset that BD didn't even crack the top 20, and fucking TWO WORLDS did

now THAT is a crying fucking shame.  WTF @ blue dragon sales.   does not bode well for lost odyssey or eternal sonata.

tiesto, i just realized blue dragon was released on the 28th.  only had 3 days on the market, still pretty disappointing.

[Madrun Badrun]

Lair 45k
Blue Dragon 53k
Warhawk 58.6k

Ouch. 

[demi]

I bought both Two Worlds and Blue Dragon so you can only kinda blame me.

[Smooth Groove]

We need Demi to make more awesome threads like this one.  The detractors need to STFU or bring the whine back to GAF. 

[Kyle]

wtf xbox madden nfl sold more than wii madden ?
wii owners doesn't buy games at all or what ? 
and xbox 360 prove to be a software sales god, but some devs doesn't learn.

[demi]

Gamers don't buy Wiis, and vice versa

[Saint Cornelius]

[Eel O'Brian]

I don't really give much of a crap about sales figures, but it'll take a miracle for even the most fervent Sony zealot to spin that ballstomp.  I laugh not because I root for any particular "team," but because I imagine the sea of crestfallen expressions that followed that unveiling, much like an audience of squealing teen girls might look after getting all pumped up and ready to rock the fuck out to some Linkin Park, and then out strolls some old cowpoke with a banjo.

Those Madden sales for the 360 vs the PS3 are pretty staggering. I know the PS3 only has about 1/3 of the install base, but Sony had relied heavily on attracting the "Madden gamer" the past two generations. Appears they are losing that contigent of the fanbase.


Thanks for the post Demi .. saves me from wading through that massive GAF thread.
