Why didn't I buy this on ps3? More players for more multiplayer interaction, plus holding down left bumper all the time to block hurts me fingers. Wish I could re-map it to left trigger.WithoutGraceXII

that's a good question.

You should have known this type of title wouldn't be as popular on the xbox360, silly you.

Because he has friends to play with on the 360 (?) Isn't that the reason why people pick one usually over the other when they have both xbox and Ps3 ?

And this really was no surprised at all it really isn't welcomed well by the xbox players.

What a lovely stereotype. You do realise that the PS3 has way more FPS's than the 360 right?

They should have added perks and killstreaks in the X360 version.

The original came out exclusively for the PS3 so of course the spiritual sequel will sell more on the console the IP was born on.

How are you not banned yet?

[QUOTE="waltefmoney"]

[QUOTE="kuraimen"] Yeah but PS3 gamers don't only buy those.kuraimen

How are you not banned yet?

There's been plenty of veteran OTers and System Warriors banned so I don't think you're immune.

Low sales on the 360 are more attributed to the fact that this is a sequel to a PS3 exclusive. There was much more awareness for this title on the PS3 (not to mention it was released exclusively on the PS3 in Japan, and sold like half a million there)

So the game sold 200k+ in the west on the PS3, and 200k+ on the 360. Why are people bagging on the 360 for the sales numbers it put up?

To be honest I have no idea what you meant when you listed your level and posts so I assumed you meant,"well I've come this far" or something.

What? Having a lot of posts is not against the rules, that's not what I was implying. Constant trolling is though.

You and I both have a very low level for the amount of posts. Which means both of us have been modded quite a bit. Just saying we're both probably tightrope walking now.kuraimen

How many suspensions do you have?

i don't know if i believe that.

i know 3 people in rl that bought it and all 3 got it on 360.

i guess my friends could just be an anomaly but it would be pretty strange for the outcome to be so skewed between my direct observation and what vgchartz reports..

Lol, why? do you want to see how close am I to a ban? this is pretty off topic you know?kuraimen

I'm just curious :|. I've been suspended 5 times and I have no idea if that's a lot or not.

Indeed

Plus most WRPGs sell far better on 360

Fable 2-3 have sold 7 million etc

There was alot less marketing (actually 0 marketing) and namefare on the original than there is with this sequeal and PS3 orginal still sold over a million on the PS3 alone.

Trying to say that the game didn't sell well on 360 because the orginal came out on the PS3 as a defense is a failure because when it came out on the PS3 there was NO marketing, name, hype, or fanbase at all. From Software wasn't even a company people looked at to creatate a great game. fan praise alone and the massive amounts of people importing it is why it ever even got localized in the US. The fans support of the PS3 community alone is the sole reason why there is even a sucessor to speak about....because they were readily supporting the unknown, nitch, cult, japanese action RPG.

Dark Souls has quite a bit of marketing, praise and fanfare the orginal did not recieve...it's not even close to being the same as when Demon's Souls came out on PS3 alone.

it's just like I said, this type of game wouldn't sale as much on the xbox360. why is there a problem? because it's true!

Vgchartz? Gross

PS3 and Xbox are shooter consoles.

i don't know if i believe that.

You realize the game sold exclusively on the PS3 in Japan right? And sold over half a million in Japan?

So subtract the 500k from PS3's worldwide sales and you're left with the 250,000 estimated sales on the PS3 in the west.

Compare this to the 220,000 estimated sales of the 360 version in the west.

So what are we comparing? The PS3 version sold 30k more in the west despite being the sequel to a PS3 exclusive? Sounds like a pretty poor attempt at bashing the 360 userbase to me.

so you're trying to tell me Demon's Souls sold a total of 750,000 copies? Good job of making up numbers. I don't need to go any further with you on this discussion.

*edit*

what "attemt" are you talking about? I didn't say anything about bashing anything I just posted the numbers. I said that this type of game wouldn't sale as well on the 360 in response to another person's post but I didn't bash the users. some people just love making things up.

I'm going to quote your original post.

PS3: 750,000

xbox360: 220,000

combined: 970,000

casharmy

Notice how the PS3 version sold an estimated 750,000 worldwide? Subtract the half million it sold in Japan exclusively (it wasn't released on 360 there), and you're left with the PS3 version selling 250,000 in every other territory worldwide.

The 360 version sold 220,000 in those same exact territories worldwide.

You're talking about a 30,000 unit difference between the PS3 and 360 in areas they were both sold in. Not only that, but the game is a sequel to a game that was PS3 exclusive, so Dark Souls 'should' have had much higher awareness on that system.

They should have made the 360 version a FPS.kuraimen

They should have made the PS3 one a FPS too - it might have sold like BLOPS the PS3's most popular game!

the online portion of dark souls sort of blows anyways - granted if you do connect to another player...it's a blast, but it's hard to find people to play with. with multiple servers and the game being open world...players of varying levels are dispersed all over the world map. It's much harder to find people to play with..

ffs, people are beating the game at the starting soul level while just upgrading their pyro spells.
