yeah, that's gonna be the big "system seller" i think (FFXIII). That and GT5, MGS4, and DMC4.  Once those games come out, I'll get my PS3.  No, motorstorm is not gonna be a system seller sony, so stop hyping this game already.

Lemmings would also have you believe every Retailer selling PS3 has atleast 20 In stock since 2 weeks ago and that every day they open there Doors there are like 5 campers waiting to by Wiis.

Sorry to say this but 50,000 is not exactly a great number for weekly sales.  It's not horrible, but it's not great either.

Really? Now that I would like to read about.

How many did DOA 4 sell in it's first week?

At least give a LINK?

I want numbers, because I find your statement kind of preposterous.

IN JAPAN. Is DOA really more popular than VF in Japan, NOW? I don't think so...

You are just guessing, aren't you? Yeah...cmon, admit it...

Lets also consider the release times

Example December release vs a February release

Also the time of week

E.G. The Monday and a week Vs the Saturday of another week

The math is simple.

675,000 PS3s. 49,000 units of VF5 in one week.

80,000 360s. 62,000 units of DOA4 in one week.

Which franchise is more popular is clear .

but DOA 4 is Xbox 360 we all know how much Japanese people like Xbox 360. And it was 2005. Didn't PS3 already outsell Xbox 360 in Japan. How much japanese people owned the X360 during december of 2005 months after its release. Not much that is for sure. And the game came out after chrismas. December 29 2005. So you can's use that at all. Unless IGN is wrong or course http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/545/545798.html

DOA4 was nine weeks late. It was supposed to be a launch title, so it is great for an all round comparison.

Were saying that 360's lack of diversity is what probably adds to a games sales

E.g

GT3 = 14 Million   GT = 8Million
MGS2 = 7 Million    MGS3 = 3.75
tekken tag Tournament = 3.91 Million      Tekken 4 = 3.28 Million          Tekken 5 = 1.32

the fanbase grows yet the sequels sell less.    I think its the fact that diversity increase with sales.

Sure 50,000 is good for a game that has been on the market for about a month but we are talking about a game that just released.
