Liam Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/nintend...rogram-for-wii/ Has anyone heard anything so insane? Demand for a console over a year on still outstrips demand so heavily that they're effectively running preorders again. Does anyone remember the news reports six or seven months ago covering the fact that Nintendo was turning over more profit than Sony? Let me clarify that -not Sony Computer Entertainment -SONY. I'd imagine the situation must be pretty similar right now. I might go find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Melt Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 i think the PS3 is ruining sony at the moment though. hopefully things will pick up. i love nintendo and everything but there needs to be a balance. FUCK MICROSOFT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 tut here needs to be a balance Multiple formats with damn near identical specs do nothing for the consumer amirite? Xbizzle and Piss have sold in roughly equal numbers and serve two very different purposes. Things look pretty balanced to me. More balanced than ever, if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Software: - 1. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360) -- 1,570,0002. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) -- 1,120,0003. Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360) -- 980,0004. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (PlayStation 2) -- 967,0005. Wii Play w/ Remote (Wii) -- 564,0006. Mass Effect (Xbox 360) -- 473,0007. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (PlayStation 3) -- 444,0008. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Wii) -- 426,0009. Halo 3 (Xbox 360) -- 387,00010. Assassin's Creed (PlayStation 3) -- 377,000 Uncharted: Drake's Fortune only managed 117,000 sales, yet it's regarded by a lot of people as the best game available for the PS3 right now. I don't see why sales were so low, unless it's because it's a brand new IP, compared to a sequel like Call Of Duty 4. Then again, Assassin's Creed did superbly, so fuck knows. Multiple formats with damn near identical specs do nothing for the consumer amirite?I think it's only bad if there are exclusive titles that you can't play cos you own the "wrong" console. Competition forces prices down and also forces companies to compete in terms of features. I bet the 360 wouldn't have got DivX playback if Sony hadn't signed a deal to have it on the PS3, because not so long ago MS were saying it wasn't a priority (being the format of choice for pirates and all), yet they've implemented it ahead of Sony.

Good points there. But with an emphasis strictly on games, I've always felt that almost without exception cross platform titles suffer as a result. Plus it drives development costs through the roof -but having said that, dev costs for todays consoles are already staggering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Melt Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 i think gears of war was only 10 million. games make a fair bit as well. i'd like to see the development cost for some games though (like the GTA series and the final fantasy series) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Fuck all that. I've dusted off my daughter's xbox and am picking up bargain bin top shelf games off of ebay. This will make me one happy gamer for another 18 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
