Is this the second month from metroid or third? whats its current total?

Bloodwake · « **Reply #5 on:** October 18, 2007, 07:24:51 PM »

So yeah, is the Wii fad over?

I would say no, due to the fact people are still trying to buy them.

Edit: forgot about Halo 3. NVM.

Looks like a pretty segmented market if you ask me.

Edit: 3rd party publishers once again continue to make their bank on the PS2 and 360.

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.

How the fuck did Halo give the Xbox a surge when they were launched together? It's not like people didn't know about Halo before it was released.

This is the second month for both Metroid and Bioshock, both still managing top 10.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I find this hilarious coming from an autistic kid who bought the Wii based on its "potential"

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #46 on:** October 18, 2007, 09:51:00 PM »

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.

etiolate · « **Reply #47 on:** October 18, 2007, 09:54:42 PM »

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.
