Nope, not used

Toys R Us has had the first one for under 15 for a long time in store

Also Uncharted GOTY is 49.99 and most retailers are selling it well below that. Uncharted 2 vanilla? That was sub 30 for a good chunk of this year.

As far as how many units were sold at full retail? All you need to do is see when the drops happened and how many each game sold at that time, it's rather easy to do.

Your source for any of this- or should i just take your word for it? Most retailers are selling Uncharted 2 GOTY for much less than retail- care to name a few? For that matter who was selling regular Uncharted 2 for "sub 30"? And Toy's R Us selling the first Uncharted for half the Greatest Hits price for most of the year??? Prove it and i'll eat my hat. Admit you're Jealous that Uncharted 2 sold so well, it's ok....

I don't care for his logic but this gen all you have to do is wait 3-5 months and almost any big name game will run you 30 bucks or less. Its not unheard of. U2 and certainly U1 aren't immune to this.

On Amazon, or used, sure. Maybe even during a sale. That's different from saing major retailers are selling games at those prices. I could stop by any Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, or Fred Meyers on my way home tonight and find Uncharted 1 and 2 for $30 and $50, respectively.

[QUOTE="rawr89"]

[QUOTE="Sp4rtan_3"] Ummm how about they bundled Uncharted with 160 GB Ps3 a couple years back so inflated numbers Ftw :roll: Going by these unimpressive sales M$ should combine Fable series sales and gloat like its something impressive.Grawse

and Halo 3 was bundled with the 360. what's your point

also, Fable series didn't sell that much. also, Fable 2 - 3.5 million. Fable 1 on PC and 360 - 2 million. sureee...Fable 3 sold 3 million. rofl.

Aren't you trying to downplay Fable series? Apparently Fable 2 and 3 is only 1.5 million behind Uncharted series and Fable 2 came out in 08 and Fable 3 has been out for a month and a half.

lol good one!

There are also 3 games in the Fable series versus 2 for Uncharted, so maybe we'll compare numbers again once Uncharted 3 is released?

[QUOTE="hbk7137"][QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]

When one of the games have been under 15 dollars all this year and the second was sharply discounted for the GTOY version yeah, the numbers are misleading

What matters is how many copies were sold at their 59.99 price point

Where are you getting $15 from? Unless you mean used copies, which are USED, and wouldn't factor into these figures anyway. The GOTY version of Uncharted 2 retails at 59.99, if i'm not mistaken- or at least 49.99, so you have no real point there. Why should copies sold at full price be the only ones that count? Do you have any such data to suggest that the bulk of these sales were at discounted prices? I didn't think so.

Slightly off -topic, but it bugs me that Xbox 360 fanboys think Super Meat Boy is the bomb-diggity, but they have the nerve to call Little Big Planet physics "floaty"

Think about it SW. I know this'll appeal to your sensibilities:

Sony has an S in it's name. As does Micro S oft, right?
And another word that is plagued by a white-hot S is the word Suck.
I think we can all agree this is no coincidence.
People the Ss in Sony and microSoft stand for Suck (Self-explainitory, I know)

Well, anyway, as you can plainly see, the S in Sony is the first letter of it's name, while microSoft has it in the sixth spot.

That's right, SW, Sony is sucky in the first degree, while microSoft is only suck in sixth.

You're welcome everyone :Dvadicta

I suppose i deserve to read nonsense like that if i click on topics like these. Thanks for wasting my time.

[QUOTE="Hazzard6X"]I keep hearing that the PS3 has a lot more real exclusives than the 360 (that console exclusives don't count), so I decided to find out if that was true or not. Below is a list of the Xbox 360 exclusives listed on Metacritic compared to PS3 exclusives in a AAA, AA, A format. I have excluded HD ports/remakes, Console exclusives, next gen exclusives, shared Wii games, DLC games, and Kinect/Move only games. Pure exclusive showdown. If you are not familiar with Metacritic, it is a website that gathers the averages of multiple websites to give one average score of a game. AAA means that the game is rated at a 90-99 average, AA means that a game is rated at an 80-89 average, A means that a game is rated at a 70-79 average. A perfect 100 would be AAAA, but no such game exists as of now. Xbox 360 AAA (5) - Halo 3, Halo Reach, Gears of War 2, Forza Motorsport 2, Forza Motorsport 3 Playstation 3 AAA (5) - Uncharted 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, God of War III, Killzone 2, Little Big Planet* Xbox 360 AA (14) - Fable II, Project Gotham Racing 3, Project Gotham Racing 4, Dead or Alive 4, Halo 3 ODST, Halo Wars, Crackdown, Alan Wake, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, Saint's Row, Perfect Dark Zero, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, Naruto: The Broken Bond, Stoked: Big Air Edition Playstation 3 AA (17) - Demon's Souls, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Heavy Rain, Resistance 2, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance: Fall of Man, inFamous, Motorstorm, Warhawk, Singstar, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Grand Turismo 5 Prolouge, Yakuza 3, Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds, Buzz! Quiz TV Xbox 360 A (22) - Kameo: Elements of Power, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, DeathSmiles, Scene it?-Box Office Smash, Ridge Racer 6, Dance Dance Revolution Universe, Raiden Fighters Aces, Scene it?-Lights-Camera-Action, Beautiful Katamari, Race Pro, Amped 3, Lips, Chromehound, Crackdown 2, The Outfit, Full Auto, Lips: Number One Hits, Farcry Instincts Predator, Coldcept Saga Playstation 3 A (13) - Heavenly Sword, Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice, Ridge Racer 7, 3D Dot Heroes, Singstar Vol. 2, MAG, Folklore, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, The Eye of Judgement, Katamari Forever, Eyepet, Formula One Championship Edition, SBK-09 Superbike World Championship * - listed as multiplat on Metacritic and Gamerankings As you can see the Xbox 360 beats the Playstation 3 41-35 in exclusives rated at least a 70 and up on metacritic, unless of course I have missed some games. (which I don't think I did) Does this change your opinion on the exclusive line ups? Does this disturb or satisfy you? Am I delusional? Discuss.

Like a few posters above said, it's a a matter of preference. Anyone can make a list. For instance, what if i decide to make a list of only exclusive AAA and AA games, based on your first post. Well, suddenly, I can spin an arguement that the PS3 has higher rated exclusives (according to the list you've provided, the PS3 has 22, compared to the xbox 360's 19). Oh snap, the PS3 must be better!!!!

[QUOTE="carlisledavid79"][QUOTE="killa4lyfe"] Yes if you have a really crappy connection. Otherwise, it doesn't take even a quarter of that. :|WilliamRLBaker
Would take me less than 15 mins to DL that.

there are so many people with Internet connections on system wars that are 1000% beyond world norms I'll never figure that out When did every one on system wars start paying for t3 connections?

And also, i just have comcast internet. It's 50 bucks a month. Not like it's that hard to get a decent connection.

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"][QUOTE="iMojo786_PSN"]

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]

woo 1.3 gig thats about a 4-5 hour download there if not more.

fix ur cheap net or get a new one then, why complain? im on 300mb in just 5mins

:roll: yeah 300 mb okay man. as for that its not a matter of bad internet its just a simple fact that Psn downloads are slow its always been that way we've had these conversations on system wars before.

I downloaded a UFC George St. Pierre vs. Josh Koschek fight off of the PSN store last night- toal size was 348mb, it took all of about 8 minutes. Does it make you feel good inside to just blatantly lie about PSN download speeds or what?

Crystal Defenders is a waste of time. I'd definitely recommend Pixeljunk Monsters Deluxe
