I realize its difficult to get hard European numbers, but in my own little "estimates", PS360 is now less than 1 million ahead of Wii worldwide. :lol :lol :lol


Looks like Wii>PS360 might happen next month.

I think I prefer Hoffman in threads where we don't actually talk about games.

I like Hoffman more than Snah or that othe guy with the avatar with white stuff on his face. At least The Hoff can make a good argument and lays the proper groundwork...

I think the big sales number is from the sexy Headset included. I know I (almost) bought it because of that.

PS: Nice that the NPD thread is back to form...it was really boring there for awhile.

Server issues were fixed within 3 days of game release, and first patch that fixed most of the issues was 2 weeks after release... It is one of the best, if not the best, shooter this generation...

There are more than 20,000 people playing it online at peak hours, last time I checked. And this is only USA, as it has not been released in Europe yet.

LBP, Valkyria, Motorstorm 2 in the last two weeks...definitely does not suck to be a PS3 owner.

I made this list around the middle of September. Basically anything starting with Shikigami onwards is take it or leave it, and there's a few there (Wii Fit, Mega Man 9, Fire Emblem) that I'd only recommend if you are the target audience. That's 47 including WiiWare but not VC, and missing anything that came out since then (I think Sam & Max is probably the only retail title, but there are a few WiiWare).

Godfather and Scarface are missing, you don't like Mafia?

It sucks if you want games like Valkyria Chronicles to succeed, so that they can expand the gameplay and the storyline.

I think the problem for the PS3 is it NEVER got over the initial price point. Oh sure it's come down a fair bit since $599, but the problem is that consumer's PERCEPTIONS that it's simply too expensive haven't changed. I mean, devoted Sony fans at this point often will speak in terms of the "value" of the PS3, and how even when it launched at $599 that was a good "value" considering the price of Blu-Ray players at the time (of course since then Blu Ray players have dropped sharply in price).

The thing is though, value isn't ever really the issue, it's consumers perceptions of value, and right now the PS3 has relatively little mind share compared to the other consoles. I'm not sure how, or if they can get that mind share back in the near term, but short of dropping the price significantly I don't see a single game right now that can really turn it around the way it would need to.

I guess so, I will still be bitter after this holiday season posting "Buy Valkyria Chronicles!!!" Whenever someone buys a PS3 and starts a new damn thread.

How on Earth do you find the time to play all of these?
Click to expand...

you don't have to play em all at once, you know. I have 170ish 360 games, some i haven't played in a year. Its good to have, like if the feeling strikes "hey, i want to play kameo" or something like that, you can just go and grab it, put it in and play.

It helps that rentals are like, 10 bucks a piece now, and most games can be found for 20 within a couple months. There is no reason not to buy.

Oh my, you have more 360 games than my entire PSP, DS, and PS3 collection.

Granted my PSP collection is absolutely pitiful, but my point still stands.

Exactly. To a collector (like me) a rare coin is worth more than it's face value, but to someone that doesn't follow it it's just the value they see. If you don't think an item is worth a certain price then it ISN'T, and a company can't force you to think otherwise, it can either adjust it's price or not.

People call all sorts of things non-games. Like Professor Layton, or The Sims, or Space Giraffe.



In reference to contents of my Wii library:

<Amir0x> I mean i am a little surprised but, maybe Wii isn't devoid as I always argue
<Amir0x> i am having trouble criticizing that list

SH-SH-SH-SHOCKER!!

It is good but the voices have been localized (translated). Cheap and worth it (got it for $20 new). I'm still gonna buy it for my japanese 360 so I can play it with my better arcade stick and on my big HD screeen... my Wii is connected to my little Samsung HDTV.

By all means: buy!

Hehe It's only $30, consider it bought :D

Edit: Where did you get it $20 new? I can't find it for that much, but I'm still willing to spend $30 on it :p

Edit 2: zomg my gamestop has it for $20 new :D:D:D

On the next page LBP is called a non game, what is the difference?

Both post their opinions, but one gets to post again....

Both games are milestones of this generation.
