I wonder when shipped became okay?

Not so long ago we would have threads and people would go in there saying "shipped" and that was it.
Shipped meant "nothing special".

Look this is real simple. Remember the "channel stuffing" you guys claimed Microsoft did a few Christmases ago? Sony sold 3.8 Uncharteds to stores and then tried to come out and claim day one sales as some huge accomplishment. As if this is the same or better then Halo or Gears. But if it was sold to customers it would have been the biggest exclusive launch in history….its not. No where on the net are you seeing this claim and its because its not even close to having these kinds of sales to actual customers.

When Microsoft says we sold 3.3 million Halos, they sold 3.3 million Halo's..go on Live and you see millions of people playing, there are midnight launches..hype etc. Did you here about any midnight launches for this game?? Any hype in the local news? Millions of players online as we speak?? No because it did not sell huge numbers. When Micro said Gears sold Huge, IT WAS REFLECTED IN THE NPD as 2m SOLD. Between Japan andEurope300k Unchartes were sold in the week. So you Ps3 fans really expect this game to sell 3.5 mill in the next NPD?? Its sitting on the selves people. Don't try to compare this to Gears, it did not even come close to Gears sell thru numbers. Your being too stubborn

Your source for European sales?

Sony said sales EXCEEDED expectations.

I guess lems have to redesign their battle plans which included:

• Gears 3 outselling all PS3 exclusives combined
• Cows don't buy their exclusives

"Ok... So either IGN lied, or, and this is far more likely, there was a miscommunication between the guy from SCEE and IGN. Even before the IGN clarification, people were screaming about Sony lying. If announcing sell-in figures as sold is a lie, then every company is guilty of it. Sony didn't lie, at any point, during this whole story. Keep on hatin'."

No one is hatin. You would love that. There was nothing accomplished and therefore nothing to hate on. It did not sell the numbers they claimed. You were probably up with the rest hoping the news was true and now start turning to silly tactics like stating "people are mad" and are "hating" cause in actuality you are the one who is upset its not true. Like I said before this thread was created to point out, even as ign reported that news, that it could not be true because common sense tells you that franchise never sold those types of numbers. Its not hating....its fact. Keep on diverting from the topic an soon we can all forget you and all the other Ps3 fans who started this. Thats your plan right??

[QUOTE="ohthemanatee"]

so you're saying two systems getting MORE games is a bad thing?

... enjoy your PS3 :|

ohthemanatee

so you're saying that the fact microsoft might have just given you more games without the need to buy more systems is a bad thing? :|

I'm sorry when did I enter into lala land?

But more to the point of what I was talking two posts, regardless of whether it turns out to be great for MS, or even great for people that buy the next box, by the current metagame, the nextbox will fail hard here in SW. We compare AA+ retail exclusives... If every game is playable on pc as well, it will never have a single exclusive, making it the obvious metagame loser, unless the rules of the game are changed to accomodate it... Like when you have to start playing flag football, instead of tackle, to accomodate the one kid who cries when he gets hurt.

It's the top story at Ars Technica: http://arstechnica.com/

"Apparently you are mad, because Sony didn't lie"

Haha...stop trying to rewrite history. There is a huge thread on the front page of the forum...maybe youve seen it is says, "Ign confirms Uncharted 3.8 million sold to customers" this thread is a direct reponse to that one because...that is a lie. Sony, Ign , who ever the quote came from was lying. I'm sorry. Your Franchise just does not have that kind of day one selling power. It never has. And when level headed people tried to point this out they were attacked. This is why that same Ign editor had to do a triple take andconfirm it was not sold to cutomers. You know what happened.
