It really is a shame. I'm sure ND and its staff is compensated well for the work they did, but when a game does really well, doesn't the company see some kind of bonus recompensation? They had every right to expect a great game like that would earn that kind of response.

I was wondering why the walmart here had so many copies of COD4 for 360. I was like WTF, thre can't be that much interest in generic modern combat first person shooter (even if it does have the call of duty name). Boy was I wrong. I fear for creativity and innovation in future games (no I'm not a nintendo fan!). Although Mass Effect doing well quells my fears a bit. Anyway, looks like it's gonna be wii60 this gen.
Except that comparison is skewed. 360 had launch competition while still having a cheaper entry point than PS3 has now.Zzoram said:
If PS3 was going up against a supply constrained 360, with games like Uncharted, Ratchet, R:FOM, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, and MotorStorm vs Kameo and PDZ... Come now. Apples to apples.

GHIII kicked RB I's ass. But it should have buried it completely. It's a strong enough start and I wouldn't be surprised if Activision knew about it when they sent their goons to Sony's PSN Deployment Offices.

Excellent point. And Actiblizzion took no prisoners.

It kicked its ass period. Being able to produce PS2/Wii SKUS in adition to PS3 SKU (That kicked Rockbands PS3 SKUS ass) and 360 skus pretty much buried it. That stupid patch and the Actiblizzion thing are just pileing on imo. To suggest Activiion should "Worry" is silly

46,500 in August NPD (released Aug 30)
57,800 in September NPD
= 104,300 for Lair
Heavenly Sword debuted at 139k so Uncharted debut is worse than that despite PS3 having a bigger userbase now and Uncharted being a much better game.

Stupid, blind hating. You gotta love it.Pimpbaa said:
all I have to say is the DS is selling 1.5M units in a month THREE YEARS AFTER IT WAS RELEASED!
If it wasn't cemented as cold hard fact, without a doubt it now is. The DS is the most successful video game system of all time. And if the SNES, GB, or NES are still ahead of it, it's only a matter of time before they fall.
Well, that's it folks. Night.. gonna go play PW3 on my DSL.
edit - I also love my PSP.. but thinking back it was funny how not only did many think the PSP would crush the DS, but even those that didn't hoped at best Nintendo would do some cool things with it. I don't think even the most optimistic fanboys ever figured back at E3 2004 that the DS would rise to the heights it has. Just insane.
And of course there is still the Wii.

The "weeks" argument never holds up. Ratchet's LTD is ~140-150K. It did like 85-90K October on a week, and 66K in November all month. Video game sales are HEAVILY skewed towards the first week, if not the first day. The exception is casual games.
Uncharted was on for about 2 weeks, same as Mass Effect.

man it would of been something to see wii break the 1 million mark but still.. damn, that thing is selling like hot cakes. I dont know what nintendo did to make this system such a huge seller but what ever they are doing.. dont stop, thats one money making machine. I guess its the uniqueness of the machine and it fits well with the family.. a machine the entire family can enjoy..
Any ways..nice 360 numbers too.. the ps3, well i dont know what to think.. thats good that its atleast past 4k but it should be much closer to 360.
I think the 360 is gonna make a HUGE killing with its software sales though.. the amount of AAA games it has is remarkable..

What's the LTD of the next gen systems now
.....and the Wii.
TheDuce22 said:
i think your perspective has a lot to say about that. if the ps3 is a games machine first and foremost, yes. if it is a blu-ray trojan horse that turns the hi-def movie war into a bank for sony, no. who knows what sony wanted or expected. who the freak knows.

Bigger picture, who knows because as the flagship BD player it may be helping the Blu-ray movie format a lot. So that's good for Sony. But on the game side, yeah it's directly linked to the $599 price, which in turn has been the source of almost all the PS3's woes to date.TheDuce22 said:
If many people are buying the PS3 as just a BD player, that might help explain why game sales remain piss-poor despite improving hardware sales.

Wow, PSP numbers really surprised me, and i'm surprised how close PS3 numbers were to projections. Software's the real shocker, though. Amazing numbers for both Call of Duty 4 and Assassin's Creed on both 360 and PS3.
TheDuce22 said:
Yep. The format wasn't the problem, it was the added cost and the relative asociated benefit. Ironically, adding Blu Ray can almost certainly be seen as the one thing that definitely damaged the PS3 as a games machine.
Anyway, if PS3 somehow ends up crawling back from the brink, we can all then say including Blu Ray was a long term strategy that eventually worked.

To defend CoD4 a bit, the single player is not that much more creative than previous rollercoaster ride CoD's in some ways, but at times much more creative. As well the multiplayer is a very creative new way of doing things. The title is deeper than it appears.
