[QUOTE="TheGuardian03"]DC is big from Lems in this one. Calm down people.crusadernm

I thought you can't use the term damage control here. Its against TOS,

You can't make a post consisting only of "DC" or "Damage Control." You also can't make a post saying nothing but "This" or "Agree" basically, it falls under the general rule that posts consisting of nothing but one or two words, or an emoticon, are disruptive. They add nothing to the conversation, and so they don't want someone to make a post, and then 10 people to reply with posts that just say "Agree!" or "Damage control!"

[QUOTE="Phazevariance"]

Guess now games will come out on xbox 720 and pc and will be considered one and the same, thus any shared game will be a microsoft exclusive.

ohthemanatee

Not company wars. Either the ten/loop/720 will be assimilated into the umbrella of systems known as "pc," thus doing the same to Lems in SW as hitting the Give Up button in the game Lemmings, and making all their heads explode, OR the Lems will get laughed at all gen by people with sigs of the Metagame results that show 0 AAAAE/0 AAAE/0 AAE/0 AE right up till the end of the gen.

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

... enjoy your PS3 :|

No. More people getting games is great... BUT... if a system has no games that can't be found on other systems, why pick that system over something else? Exclusives, even if they are outnumbered by multiplats, define a system and offer a reason to buy THAT system over another.

Sooo... having a version of Windows 8 automatically makes it a PC?

Funny... the Dreamcast ran a modified version of Windows CE. Guess the Dreamcast was actually a gaming PC in disguise.

AcidSoldner

Nah... not necesarily. But if the whole running on windows 8, with most, if not all the utility/media functionality of a pc, and all 360 games will play on Win8 pcs is true, then for all intents and purposes on SW, either...

A.) It will basically be a closed platform low-end PC, like Mac, only less expensive, rather than more expensive than a normal PC

B.) It will still be a seperate platform... but will share all it's games with PC, so will have 0 exclusives. Ever.

Either way, for SW purposes, it doesn't seem like a supportable position, without changing the rules to suit it.

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] except the good 80% of teh time when its accurate....sts106mat

Prove this. Provide a source. A legitimate one. Your made up numbers are as bad as theirs Baker.

I suppose I shan't be expecting you back in this thread, as you'll probably revert to your MO of saying something baseless and/or stupid, being shown as wrong, and then disappearing from a thread.

you used to be a good poster, whats going on with you lately? more than a few times now i see you resorting to insulting people. its not like you, is everything ok? that is a serious question btw.

I think Shinra's just reached the limit, in regards to certain posters and their posting habits. It's not really resorting to insults, as much as calling people out on their bs, or that's what it seems like to me, anyway.

Someone should make a "Will Uncharted 3 outsell every 2011 360 exclusive combined?" thread.

[QUOTE="StrongDeadlift"] Except nobody in this thread even claimed ownage :roll:. If anything the very second post in this thread was actually preemptive lemming damage control, and inherent unprovoked bitterness towards cows for no reason, and cows (other than Tormentos, go figure :roll: ) havent even retaliated. LEMMINGS were the first people (and ONLY people) in this thread to make it a fanboy thing. Not the other way around.

I need to update my sig... I should totally make a "3.8 million in 1 day > 3 million in 7" banner... anyone know where I can find a pic of Cliffy B crying, or with his jaw dropped?

Nice.

IN YO FACE !!!oillort
Lol.

This thread is kinda funny... "Uncharted 2 didn't sell" when it's maybe a million behind Gears 2, which has been on the market longer and released to a higher install base... "Uncharted 3 won't be anywhere close to Gears 3," hmm... well... THAT happened...

[QUOTE="StrongDeadlift"][QUOTE="SuperFlakeman"]

Yeah I am just very disappointed that even some of the more respected sites had many people believing it. That post wasn't directed to SW.

SuperFlakeman

Why would you be dissapointed :? Just saying, does the thought of Uncharted 3 selling better that Gears 3 bother you or something? Do you feel that Gears 3 is automatically entitled to the sales? I have no idea why in the world that would "dissapoint" somebody that a game sold well on another platform. Besides, its not like NaughtyDog isnt used to their games being big sellers. Look at the Crash Bandicoot games. Those sold 8 mil each and 5 mil for Crash Team Racing, which was a better (and higher rated) game than Mario Kart 64, as well as Crash Bash doing 5 million as well (which was Crash's counterpart for Super Smash Bros 64). Keep in mind that not only did these games all released back to back year after year, they ALSO released the same time as Spyro the Dragon games (which were also annualized and were equally successful sales wise.) and competed with eachother in sales. Keep in mind that all of the crash games sold more than ALL of the Gears games, along with being well acclaimed. Contrary to popular lemming belief, Uncharted is not the first relevant franchise NaughtyDog has made.

Quality has literally nothing to do with sales, so stop using that as an argument please.

I'm not saying that it's unthinkable that a game like UC3 could even possibly sell that much. Compared to what some other games are selling, UC3 SHOULD be a 10m seller. You are interpreting me wrong.

If you had the slightest knowledge in video game sales, then you should figure out that it isextremely unlikely that the PR statement is true. That's why I feel disappointed, people who believe in it would instantly get an F in video game sales courses. I don't know how to put it. It's like not knowing what company created Mario.

When people say "woah! nice sales!" that is the equivalent of saying "what??? is Nintendo making the Mario games? I thought it was Valve all along!" At least that's how I feel.

So, oh great and wise one who knows everything about video game sales, enlighten me as to why, exactly, that press statement can't be true? I apparently got an F in my video game sales course... What gave it away to you that it's wrong, that I missed, so I can do better next time?

[QUOTE="waltefmoney"]

[QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"]oh so the retailers stole the copies of U3StrongDeadlift

Uhm, no. They paid for them but you're still comparing shipped numbers to sold numbers. We have no idea how many copies Gears 3 shipped or how many copies Uncharted 3 sold to consumers. Might wanna ease up on the claiming ownage.

Except nobody in this thread even claimed ownage :roll:.

[QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"]well it has a 92 on MC, 3.8 million SHIPPED (800k more than Gears 3 in its first wek), and has been nominated for GOTY while Gears 3 has not maybe he should put that in his sig toowaltefmoney

Fixed for you, Kevin. You really should read the thread.

Isn't that just speculation at this point? If its been CONFIRMED as sell in, and not sell through, I must've missed the link. Maybe it is, but why are they making a press statement about "day one" shipments, 9 days after launch? If that was the launch shipment, they knew the number before Nov 1. Why wait over a week to make the statement? And why call it "day one sales?" We get launch shipment numbers on other games from time to time, and they usually say "launch shipment." My guess is its sell through estimates by Sony based on reorders from retailers and suppliers after launch day sales.
