Ridge Racer gameplay being dull, old, and constantly repackaged might have something do with only 9k in sales. PGR3 just looks far mor impressive also. But I guess it is 60fps, so most of those 9k were probably Gaffers.

*stares at perfect dark zero*
Why did you do that?, probably the game will be priced lower by the time that you get an Xbox 360, a controller would make a lot more sense, plus that you can use it on your PC also.

He's GAF's official angry PC fanboy.FiRez said:
anyway, COD2 deserves those sales. Its single player campaign is amazingly fun and looks and sounds awesome on a big HD screen and 5.1 setup.
gotcha... that was unclearjedimike said:
probably could have sold 5x but reality says they need to be manufactured, etc. can't just blink an eye and have store shelves loaded. happens every launch for every company (with a product in high demand).
Yup, it's the next 360 title i purchase for sure.Project Midway said:

Just as HL2 and Doom 3 did, right? And how about UC and UC:2 sales? Or BF2:MC?
:ROLLFUCKINGEYES:
Just beacuse you have a shitty 1997-era PC that doesn't mean everyone else has.

I'm the offiial GAF PC fanboy. Bittered, hardened and even more sad than ever.
With the fact that CoD2 sells so high on 360, from now on you can call me PC Lamer
It's ok if everyone doesn't understand why 9/10 the PC version (of a game) is better ... they don't deserve to understand.

Those numbers seem pretty consistent with a next gen launch. The real story is the horrible job MS did in getting product on the shelf. Even if they ship another 300k this week, will only mean 600-700k made it to the shelves for 2005. Pretty bad.

Namco was incredibly stupid to launch against not only NFS, but PGR (which was $10 cheaper). Even Sega had the brains to delay Full Auto to Q1 2006. On top of that, Namco did not advertise the game at all - not one print ad, online ad, or commercial. The only way people would even know the game was out would be by word of mouth. They could have at least released a demo or something.
Sega's new Western strategy is paying off so far with Condemned (I hope it does well enough for a sequel). There's still Full Auto, the Sillicon Knights project, and Bizzare Creations game too.
Most surprising is Kameo. Not the type of game Xbox owners play, piss-poor advertising, and a few mediocre reviews. To do over 70k already in just a week is really amazing imo. Hopefully it still continues to do well with word of mouth and all the new 360 owners in December.

You know, I was really hoping MS could pull this off. I had great interest in PDZ (when it was supposed to be 50 person multiplay) and COD2 (improved graphics, 32 man multiplay with rock solid framerate) ... but it appears that this machine may suffer from the same limitations that console games always have had. I really thought the 360 would be a "PC lite" (in terms of games available coupled with ease of online functions) and would be a nice thing to buy.
I'm not so sure, based on early returns.
Goreomedy said:
Absolutely. Whenever I'm in Best Buy, there are always numerous people gathered around watching COD2. They really should've put PGR3 in some of the demo machines. Sixth isn't bad but it really should've been in the top 3.
gkrykewy said:
If this is the reason you chose RR6 over PGR3, you're retarded and you should probably stop playing games. Seriously.

Not to be a pussy or anything, but how long before the launch titles are considered "Silver" or will drop to $19.99 ~ $24.99?

If y'all think these numbers are bad, then just wait until the JAN and FEB numbers come in with the only people buying them being the EB/GS pre-order people who got fucked at launch. Sales are going to be abysimal after Christmas with that $400 price tag.
MS seriously fucked up with their WW launch idea and their manufacturing "problems".
Why they decided to alienate their most important market during the most important time of the year in a strategically opportune moment is beyond my comprehension.

maybe people like COD2 because it really shows the 360's graphical power compared to the other titles?
Still, there are other titles that do a better job of it (PGR3)... but as we know, that isn't used in demo kiosks.oldschoolpinball said:
I'm still going to stick by the fact that its sales result from it being the most demo'd game. And no, I'm not trying to put down it's quality.

Yeah RaYne, that's what I was refering to. I couldn't remember the freaking name.raYne said:
So... the above posters says $40 bucks for "platinum" hit huh? :lol
oldschoolpinball said:
No, that's not it.
CoD2 is selling really well because people have been able to try it in the demo kiosks. If MS was on the ball and had more playable demos in the kiosks, then we might have seen a little different outcome. Demos do sell games, believe it or not.
Borys said:
Well, what do you expect when there's not one single TV ad for the game?
There's Soul Calibur 3 commercials once every other minute on TV and not ONE SINGLE RR6 ad.
What do you expect when the game is launched against the likes of PGR3 and NFS which not only have a bigger name, but have ads on TV all the time?
Why would the average consumer even look twice at the game?
This is Namco's way of saying "Look, we put a game on 360. It didn't sell. PS3 exclusives forever!"

I bought it, I like it alot
Minotauro said:
Uh no - I chose RR6 because I've loved every RR game since the original on PSX, and have no need for a second arcade racer given the depth of it. However, I am of the opinion - since the PS2 generation where 60 fps was really possible at home - that a 60 FPS framerate adds a lot to the experience and immersability, and is as must-have for an arcade racer (which is the only kind I play) as it is for a fighter. Seriously.
gkrykewy said:
You were responding to someone who said that no one is buying RR6 because PGR3 is also available. In response, you expressed disagreement based upon the fact that PGR3's framerate is less than RR6's. You made no mention of any other reasons for possibly choosing RR6 over PGR3. So, I assumed that this was your main impetus for making this choice. Even if that wasn't the main reason though, since we're talking about sales figures, your personal love for the RR6 series is completely irrelevant.
gkrykewy said:
Firstly, I think the word you were looking for was immersion. Secondly, PGR3 in cockpit view is the most immersive racing game ever created. If you dismiss it based upon something as small and trivial as the framerate, I pity you.
