Did twilight princess flop on this site?

Seabas989

Yeah. Arguably the biggest flop this gen. Although I loved it.

Was hyped AAAE, got an 8.9 for the GC version and 8.8 for the Wii version, unless I'm mistaken. It can barely even be considered a flop, so its hardly the biggest of the gen. It may have had the most ridiculous OVERreaction from fans, but a game with close to 75% of teh votes being AAA or above, and over a quarter being AAAA, getting a 7.5 is HUGE. Most games flop by 0.5-1.0 (Forza4, Killzone3, infamous2, GT5, etc...). Big name AAA hyped games flopping by 1.5 + are not that common.

There are some huge differences. The Steam hack has been at a much smaller scale, you couldn't even log into PSN for weeks. With the PSn hack, literally every single one of the millions of PS3 owners were affected, not nearly as many people use Steam. meetroid8
You couldn't use the store, or play online multiplayer... It's not like the ps3 was bricked. Oh, and there are a ton of people with consoles that don't hook them up to the internet at all... so not every PS3 owner was affected...

Steam wasn't down for a month I can play all my steam games just fine online and everything the only thing that is down is the steam forums so I can't trade tf2 hats but its a small inconvenience. Credit card info and passwords where encrypted/salted&hash so they pose little security risk even massive google server farms working 24/7 would take longer then the age of the universe to crack it. Steam let people know within 3 days sony took weeks Quite a diffrence between the two.

DJ_Headshot

3 days vs weeks IS a big difference. And is also made up. It was 4 days for Valve, 6 days for Sony.

It is awfully quiet in here. Where did all the Cows went.TheBigXboxski
Well, 3.8 million of them are playing Uncharted....

[spoiler] I am aware tht the 3.8 was sell in. That was a joke. Hopefully, it's an obvious one, but apparently my jokes fly over some peoples' heads, and they take them seriously. From now on, I'll try to remember to put a disclaimer in spoiler tags whenever something is a joke. [/spoiler]

coulda sworn uncharted 3 came out the 31st but every once in a while im wrong.

xsatyr86

Even if it had come out the 31 in US, as I pointed out to you in the thread you made, that I debunked in the second post, and you never showed back up... The NPD reporting period ended Oct 29th. Soooo. Yeah. Uncharted wouldn't have been in it.

If it was a great game then it should still have made it.

Wut? Not sure if serius... If you are being serious, NPD preiod ended October 29th. U3 came out in the US Nov 1st. How exactly should it have made it in?

the ps3 is outselling 360 about by a million over this year, but i think that might deminish during the holiday as NA will once again be a monster in numbers and outpace everything else by a large margin. its very good news and news we can talk about because its official.

ForzaGearsFace

You realize the 360 has only outsold the PS3 during a holiday quarter once out of 4 years, right? And so far, with one third of the quarter down, it's not beating the PS3 this one either...

most critical part of the schedule hasnt occured, black friday, and christmas up to New Years. Those will be favorable for the 360, dealing with a well oiled machine here with Microsoft.

Yep. Those will be favorable for 360. In America. Just like every year. But like I said before, you realize 360 has only beaten PS3 in the fourth quarter once, even when the PS3's price was much higher. So you might be getting a little ahead of yourself here...

or that im on top of my game, could be between 243 offical and xbox at 393 can you do that math for me and tell me if it doesnt equate to 2 to 1 ? :lol: :roll:

ForzaGearsFace

That is some hardcore self-pwnage... After someone points out your math is wrong, and that 393 : 243 =/= 2 : 1, rather than recheck... you say you are on top of your game, and tell them to do the math and tell you if it isn't 2 to 1? It's not. Pretty much anyone able to add or subtract should be able to tell that in less than 2 seconds.

i subscribe to your uncharted 3 math as UNCHARTED 3 sell in is better than what Gears did on day 1. No more sig? come on man.

Wow, you didn't keep up with what I said earlier at all, did you? I never said U3 outsold Gears. We don't know Gears 3's first day sell in or sell through. We don't know Uncharted's first week sell in or sell through. We know Uncharted sold in 3.8 million by day one, and we know Gears sold through 3 million by the end of the first week. And my sig is still there...

[QUOTE="Gxgear"]

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]The PS3 still sells in the 3 major markets and the 360 only sells in 2 of them but yet the PS3 is still in last place. It shows how much more important America is then Japan in the grand scheme. ForzaGearsFace

Or conversely, having worldwide support is just as effective as having one region backing up your product.

The PS3 figure is an *estimate* by the way, not to mention for a single country only.

wonder what cows are gonna say getting outsold 2 to 1 at a lower price point?

ForzaGearsFace

Presumably, that you need to learn to do mathematics.
