Also why are people hating on Infamous, it sold well by any standards, but for a few days worth of sales?

Infamous did pretty good I guess but do you think it will sell more this month than last? I remember when Killzone 2 came out also at the end of the month it sold pretty well too but the following month it sold less which kinda didn't make sense.

"INFAMOUS SONY PS3 175.9K"

Why does anyone bother making exclusives for PS3 any more?

Truth_Hurts_U



It was out for less than a week in North America. Not to mention, 2 days in Europe, and it wasnt even out in Japan or Australia for the month of May.

Maybe Sony should send out a memo, stating to customers that their Blu ray player can actually play games.

That same reasonsing was applied to Killzone 2's sales when it first released in North America, but as the months passed... it consistently sold less than the previous month -- now it's not even on NPD. :P

Killzone 2 still managed to reach 2mil, its like LBP it may not be selling huge numbers but its constantly selling so it keeps adding up.

Fair enough but Killzone 2 got LOADS of marketing, this didnt, so it sold well in that regards.

It makes no sense to compare Killzone 2 and inFAMOUS. Killzone 2 was being hyped for years inFAMOUS got hype for like two months and shared it with Prototype. People are still waiting to decide which one to get.

Thanks to overseas sales. :P But I'm still shocked it managed to sell just "meh" in North America. Sony really failed on the marketing, imo.

PS3 games do not sell in the US. This is what I have noticed month after month. Even MGS4 only managed 1 million in the US.

Sales are disappointing. UFC is a God though :shock: And EA sports active is good too. Didn't expect Punchout!! to chart actually and I was expecting double from inFamous. Looks like I just failed at predictions this month.

served sony right for doing all the wrong things,

they were so eager to push an unwanted format ,, on their ps3 to make it harder for gamers to get ahold of one at such bad market times,

i dont think sony will go sega but they will learn a hard lesson, much like nintendo

"INFAMOUS SONY PS3 175.9K"

Why does anyone bother making exclusives for PS3 any more?

Truth_Hurts_U
Yes because selling 176K of a new IP in one week is fail. I agree Sony should quit gaming. Oh and while we're at it Nintendo should quit gaming too, Punchout which was on the market for 2.5 weeks only sold 160K. So you fail too Nintendo.

Because we know all sales numbers should be measured by Wii Play Numbers.

I was expecting Punch-Out to be on top but 160K for its popularity and on a console with a larger install base...?

I'd like it to have sold more too, but I believe it was released on May 26th. A lot of PS3 games have started off slow then gone on to sell well. Uncharted is a prime example.

It helps that it gets like zero marketting. If I remember correctly, PSP was selling at it's best around the time of the 2000-upgrade. At that time, it had a really strong Ad-Campaign. I expect it to get better around the time Go! is released, but yeah, lack of ads, showcasing the games on the system really hurts it. With the DS, there's ads appealing to everyone "Core Gamers", young kids, girls, older women, etc. If Sony wants the PSP to sell like the DS they need to follow Nintendo's lead.
