I bet it'll sell, like, an entire 50 copies!

TheRichterBelmont4178d ago

Was foolish to launch this the same night as BLOPS II

ItsTrue4177d ago

Not necessarily, I think the two games are directed at different audiences so it won't really affect it.

Just my opinion though.

iamnsuperman4177d ago

Like ItsTrue says. Completely different audiences. This is for the young families/ young children. Not every parents gets a 6-8 year old COD. That's bad parenting. Wonderbook isn't aimed at teenagers

HarryMasonHerpderp4177d ago

If I had a kid I would use him/her as an excuse to check this game out lol
Anyway I reckon it will sell really well I've seen a lot of advertising for it and it's been on TV a few times on programmes on what to get the kids for christmas an such.

The poor old Vita. Still travels with me to this day...

BiggerBoss2147d ago

The Vita was such a tragedy.

It was such a powerful handheld, but consumers just didn't latch onto it.

Yi-Long2147d ago (Edited 2147d ago )

Great screen, great specs, but ridiculously overpriced memory cards quickly made it a non-starter for many. Even when I had one, I wouldn't buy games for the simple reason my 8/16 GB card was full, and it would have cost too much money to buy a new one, and I didn't want to remove the games which were on it.

Bought a 64GB card in Hong Kong last year orso, where it was actually affordable, but back in Holland a simple 32GB card would have cost me at least as much as I paid for the 64GB card in HK.

SierraGuy2147d ago (Edited 2147d ago )

Way better than Switch. Ahead of it's time if you ask me and probably collectible one day.

yellowgerbil2148d ago

The best lineup ever. Most were cancelled or not released and those that have are mediocre

BiggerBoss2147d ago

Lmao, best lineup in Xbox history.

Gotta love it.

DialgaMarine2148d ago (Edited 2148d ago )

I thought they were going to list PS3 because of the tags lol

Also, if you’re going to include Wonder Book, might as well throw Kinect in as well. Sesame Street, anyone? lol

PhantomS422148d ago

Don't you dare talk smack about Skittles the tiger! Agreed though a lot of those demos were hilarious and painful to watch.

The 10th Rider2147d ago

To be fair though, from a sales perspective Kinect was a huge success. It also had a fair number of games that weere a critical success.

DialgaMarine2147d ago

True, but its far better known for its blunders, such as being the thing Rare was forced to make crappy games for, and one of the most embarrassingly bad Star Wars game in recebt memory. It also kindof fell the map pretty quickly, and played a huge role in botching Xbone’s launch.

Segata2147d ago

Wii U, Wii Motion Sensor, Wonderbook, Kinect,Vita 3G AT&T, Wii Music, PS3 Price, US Saturn Launch "Saturnday" ,Game Boy Advance Micro. Are some of mine. I can't remember if Matrix Online was announced at E3 but SEGA was hyping it up as something SEGA fans were asking for and making it sound like a massive deal. Then never heard about it again.

Imalwaysright2147d ago (Edited 2147d ago )

The Sega Saturn has got to be the worse. "Hey the console is on the shelves right now... surprise!! Oh and it costs $400" and right after Sega's conference comes Sony and says that the PS1, a console that unlike the Saturn was designed to offer fully realized 3D worlds for the players to immerse themselves in, costs $300. That day marked the beggining of the end for Sega's hardware.

Wonderbook expands into dinosaurs investigating Harry Potter’s potions on Nov. 12

Remember Wonderbook? If perchance its previous Book of Spells reminded you that you’re young at heart, there’s three more Wonderbooks on the way, including another Harry Potter: Book of Potions. Alongside the recipe book, there will also be a Wonderbook version of the BBC Documentary Walking with Dinosaurs and a kids detective story called Diggs Nightcrawler which was announced sometime last year and then disappeared mysteriously into Europe.
