No problems mate. Looks like me and you will be commenting from now on; on various articles and news on this site. Hey you need to hold me on that figure also, lol, I want to see how my predictions turn out.
I think Demon's Souls managed something like 150k of sales which is pretty decent when you consider its 'nich-status'. Also there were rumours of under-stocking and we know quite a few people would have imported this game from Asia anyway before hand. I agree Uncharted 2 will sell in the long term; i expect overall 3 million units LTD.
However it is odd this. In Japan Uncharted 2 will break the 100k barrier and we saw Demon's Souls performance this month in the US was strong. Uncharted 2 seems should have been higher to the two relative factors mentioned; in particular the Japanese public do not even usually take to Western games. I wonder if this is the 'Call of Duty 4' effect kicking in?
...and the houses he helped to build up; i.e. third party software developers and turning the video-game sector industry into a massive industry...lots to remember. He did a lot for this industry; no can take that away from him.
I agree; although I expected the PS3 to not even out-sell the 360 even after the price cut in the US such were the numbers before (a lot of others did too). Anyway 70k is still a strong figure and it will be interesting to see the numbers going forward. I am pretty sure the recession is having an effect here as well; the consoles are generally down so if we factor that the economy was better the PS3 would be selling a lot more and create a greater distance gap between the 360 and PS3. It is tough to say; it could be people are opting for $200 options in this recession. Anyway I still think the PS3 can outsell the 360 over the coming months (6 months to 31st March 2010) by about 3 million units. And then after that the PS3 library starts to get pretty strong and the Wand will be released.
What impresses you of Borderlands? The quality of the game or the sales figures? Anyway I agree it sold well on the 360; but compared with Uncharted 2 it does not come close to game quality which puts a negative perspective on Uncharted 2 sales. For sure it deserves better sales; no gamer can deny that. It seems that this is just a demographic thing. PS3 owners seem to prefer third party games and certain sections of those i.e. NBA this month (others last month, and the month before) where the 360 has strengths in other games. The demographic of the user base for sure is different.
Anyway here is hoping Uncharted 2 has long legs and breaks the 1 million barrier in the US one day LTD.
If games and movies don't develop some mutual respect, all we can expect are films that are really bad action games and games that are really bad films, says Steven Poole.
