Blu-ray player first, games console second it would seem. Maybe they should ship it with a movie or something.
Well, to be honest...I love my PS3 as a media hub...but, as a game console...it's getting there.:lol::lol::lol::lol:

only 2 multiplat games had close sales and they were RE5, and SF4. So its safe to say multiplats are defintely not selling at an equal pace worldwide.
[QUOTE="CreepyBacon"]Actually, the original PS3 was packaged with Spiderman 3 wasn't it?:lol::lol::lol::lol:

there was also a Taladega Nights Balad of Ricky Bobby bundle. Yeahi think there was a spiderman 3 one too, but cmon the system uses Spiderman font.
i guess its around 1.5 million

I'd expect higher than that from such a high profile game.

True, but if that ballpark figure is somewhat correct. Certainly not bad sales.

not by much, i reckon. fps's dont really do well in japan
No doubt. But a portion of the base bought the "cheapest blu ray player" at the time. I know a couple of them. 6 games between them. One wants to sell it now fort $300 since he can get a br player for $269.99 now. This was a long term gamble for Sony.ouch! what a shame cuz it's a good game worthy ofa purchase
chikenfriedrice
yea i thought so, but still i dont see kz2 having any problem reaching 2 million by the end of june, depending on how well it does in may, who knows maybe sales will pick up

Not when you consider the pre-sales Sony were touting before its release though ....[QUOTE="-Traveller-"][QUOTE="AnnoyedDragon"]

this year idk, but Fallout 3, COD4, WAW, GTAIV, Madden, and im sure a plethora of others have sold considerably better on the 360. Also RE5, and SF4 were the 1st time that those IP's appeared on a microsoft based console.
Could be better. But people claimed Uncharted & LBP were sales flops at first and now they're well over 2 million. KZ2 has almost reached that with no heavy bundling or a holiday season so it's doing OK.Floppy_Jim
im sure sony bundling both those games helped them reach that plateau... they should do the same for kz2

You have a link anywhere stating that multiplat sales are roughly the same?[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="-Traveller-"]

see thats the thing, its not that the game has sold badly, its Sony's idiotic PR department that keeps building things up.[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]Could be better.

True, bundling it with a cheaper PS3 over the holidays is what they should and probably will do.[QUOTE="hyperboy152000"]

yea fallout 3 and cod4 deff sold alot more on 360 but gta IV sold almost even on both (so says the rock*) and i believe WAW sold almost the same as well, and DMC4 and SC4 when it came out sold more on ps3 then 360, it wasnt by alot and i dont know about now
i dont want to play sales, but i just wanted to point out that mulitplats do frequently split almost evenly amongst the ps3 and 360, but there are many multiplats that do not as well and i know that

first, you spoke in a generalization, as if to say all multiplats perform roughly the same, second - not that i'm aware of. but hey, if you're saying that in here and throwing out 80% figures you must have a link, right?see thats the thing, its not that the game has sold badly, its Sony's idiotic PR department that keeps building things up.They are supposed to hype their products and sales (as a business) , and they were't hyping customer pre-order sales ..... just sales.

but for the software growth of 80 percent for 08 heres the link http://kotaku.com/5253450/ps3-software-sales-spiked-almost-80-percent
ok so it was almost 80 percent
"Killzone 2 debuting outside the Top 20 and selling 58,000 copies for the month, NPD has told Gamasutra, as it slows to 677,000 lifetime U.S. sales."
:lol: all hail the halokiller and best ps3 game
kidonre
Yes, because best is synonymous with highest selling :roll:
i hate to sound like a broken record, but there are too many PS3 owners not buying games. Why is that? I really think a lot of people are getting the machine for a bluRay player. Look at these number (they are coming from vgchartz, BUT they are historical numbers and not prediction numbers. VGChartz does a pretty good job with historical numbers). The 360 has 61 million+ selling games with 148m copies sold (from those 62 games) the PS3 has 31 million+ selling games with 66m copies sold (from those 31 games) That is a huge difference considering the the 360 was released just 1 year earlier than the PS3. lhugheyInstall base has something to do with this.
