NPD: MARCH - Keep it here

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Sony can't afford that though. ;)jg4xchamp

I don't understand how people "DON'T" think that sales are important.....At the production/developers point of view sales are the only testament of how "successful" a franchise is...It really is as simple as that....."Successful" means "profitability".......not how good the game is...The game is great but "if" the sales do not follow.....

Do you think guerrilla will get the same budget for KZ3?

Do you think that the game will stay exclusive?

Do yea think we will see another KZ in the next 3-4 years?..

Do you think we will see continued support for the game via DLC?

It can argued that KZ2 has been Sony's largest flagship title and promoted as such for years...Showcasing how powerful the console is.... If a "Flagship" FPS in the states falls flat. What perception do you think that gives developers for the PS3? Will it affect other genres? or games that are still in concept?

My examples are just the tip of the iceberg....It does matter to "gamers" as it will have a direct impact on "us" down the road if this game does/doesn't do well..

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"] i find it hard to believe that sony isn't making $$$ off the ps3. how are they even still in production if that's the case? or maybe the better question is, WHY are ps3's still being produced if that's the case?Stevo_the_gamer

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="Doolz2024"] If they can afford to drop the ps2 $30, I think they can afford to at least give a $50 price cut on the ps3Doolz2024

OK i understand now. so basically they had planned on the ps3 selling well, but it isn't and doesn't appear as though that's gonna happen anytime soon?Doolz2024

I never said they are bad...I agree they are holding their own...but my overall point was deeper than that...

Adding to my post: Sales are sales...they are not excused at the developer/producer level on the economic times and/or the cost of the system supported....I can guarantee that at the developer/producer standpoint. Halo sales are absolutely used as a guide...because they are the model of how "successful" a franchise is..

The two share similar traits for their supported console..and if one is more successful than the other..and the difference in success is as abundant as it stands..It will have an impact for all gamers

no....that Microsoft was in the black at one point last gen....i knew the nit-picky part allready :Pjg4xchamp

Bring in worldwide sales to make you feel better, most of us are in the states. North America is what matters to the majority of us.xsalvioutlawx

360 remains strong in na and ps3 needs a price cut but don't forget that na this gen is full of 360 and halo fanboys. injapan ps3 sells more and at europe the salles are almost the same. ps3 needs a price cut and if that becomes i belive that it will sell more than 360

So...where's madworld and that GTA DS.

So... did Sony lie to me? What happened to the 1 million pre-orders?... Also holy nelly RE5. Did not see those sales coming :omusicalmac

That is how much the retailers order.

PS3 is down YoY for the 5th month in a row.

Yes , that really makes up for the almost 400.000 consoles they lose here then :lol:

All is well !!

I don't know why cows bring in WW numbers. They are getting beat week over week in total sales WW every week and have been every week this year except for one I believe. So that is like 14 or 15 weeks out of 16 weeks the PS3 has lost so far this year to the 360 in sales. Cows should be proud of that, LOL! :lol:

So what now for Sony? I must say its looking bleak.yoyo462001

WOW, nice numbers :D

After one month of massive 360 bash here on sw, i was almost contagiated! Im glad im back to the reality!!!

that's a shame, I'm not going to say "Why do sheep complain about the lack of good 3rd party games for the Wii if they don't even buy them" because that wouldn't be true, sheep are buying these games, problem is that sheep are a really small part of the Wii's userbase, unfortunately this means the Wii will end up having the weakest overall game library at the end of this gen, just like the gamecube.

game? it most defently was bundled in europe and the charts in europe ALL include bundled sales, unlike NPD. you fell for sony's trap.

There really needs to be an accurate WW sales record as the NPD's just cripples Sony on these boards. NA is 360 land so with ever NPD report its another round of "PS3 is a Failure!" posts.

On topic though, good on RE5 for the strong sales, took me a while but I have started to appreciate RE5 even more with time, it truly is an awesome game.

WOW, nice numbers :D

Indeed, 360 eliminates the next gen competition each month after its price drop, by miles too

I don't know it ticks me off too. To know a company like Rockstar worked hard on this game and did not get anything out of it yet. Maybe it will sell better in the EU or in Japan.

Killzone 2 is a sales flop. :lol:

Halo Wars, an RTS on CONSOLES, outsold the extremely hot, hyped and anticipated Killzone 2's February and March sales. :lol: Uh, dude, this is history.

Sure, but it is selling to 45 year old house wives and old people. It isn't an HD console and is pretty much in a different demographic as far as consoles go (really it has its own, sort of like the PSP and DS). The only two consoles that even relate to one another right now are the PS3 and 360.

Darn the wii and 360 are on fire..McdonaIdsGuy

And then, having lost their "declining sales = fad" argument, the haters resumed their belief that the Wii doesn't count. :lol:

I don't think I've seen you made one positive remark about anything Sony ever.

If you really have a PS3 as you claim in your sig then why don't you create on official sig?

Here is the LINK, It takes 2min.

What are you even talking about? All he said was that the Wii and 360 were on fire.. Why are you getting all bent out of shape over what he said?

Darn the wii and 360 are on fire..McdonaIdsGuy

Agreed 100%. It's such a reversal from last gen. At this point, the PS3 will be very lucky to retain 50% of the PS2's marketshare.

I'm happy to see both RE5 and Halo Wars do awesome too. Both games deserve it. :)

Nintendo Wii - 601,000
Nintendo DS - 563,000
Xbox 360 - 330,000
PS3 - 218,000
PlayStation Portable - 168,000
PlayStation 2 - 112,000

Ds and Wii dominate. The 360 sold more than the PS3 and PS2 combined.

The #1 game was Resident Evil 5 for the 360 which almost sold a whoppin 1 mill!!!!

You know, not every 360/PS3 owner praise the PS3 and bash the 360. Actually, i see no reason to prefer the PS3 over 360! These sale numbers are very fair if you ask me!

wow US surely loves Nintendo's systems :)

360 managed to have good sales too... PS3 well i think a price-cut would really help at this stage..
