Begin sales arguments in 3, 2, 1.....GO!!!

In europe, highest price always sell most.
We don´t just buy what is cheapest, but what is best and cost more, so yeah, quality is matter. PS3 win :)

Gamer19824088d ago (Edited 4088d ago )

Erm I disagree and im from UK and also your theory's blown apart by the wiiU sales.. 8,709.. Thats only 1/7 of the sales of PS3.. A so called next gen console thats still new is getting battered by current gen consoles thats lets face it didnt have the best line up last Christmas compared to precious years...

However I do agree Europe will buy the best machine no matter the price. Quality will win over price in that respect we don't just buy a 360 because its cheaper.. Saying that again i'm from the UK and the 360 does better here because of price and that's due to tax. Sony should absorb some of UK tax to be closer to 360 price. UK tax is a joke..

Also the Vita outsold the 3DS so if anybody tries to argue the WiiU is not selling because of the small catalogue.. I don't think so..

UK dosen´t seems to me like EU
UK = USA
Look at politic, look at console sales, everything seems to be same. Also UK dosent want to be part of European Union, and even talked how to quit from eurovision.

No need is the usual, sony sales most console in europe, while 360 sales less, but it seems dont matter how much more console sony sales the xbox sales the most software. I take those odds, sale less console but still get more money from software, peace.

I mean really makes no sense at all, 5 million ahead and still get beaten down. Like davis vs golliath, dont matter how big you are, just because your mouth its big does not meant you can do more. Peace to all and see you at E3.

Where is the WII and WII-U in all of this sales, non-existant.

redfirm4088d ago

can you please explain what you are trying to say? All I am reading is hate and bashing.

Bathyj4088d ago

Kind of similar overall software numbers actually.

Doesnt mean XB sold more software just cos alot XB owners think Aliens is a good game.

And the word is sells not sales, unless thats some internet meme I dont get.

Why is the Europe list the only one I'm seeing? I get the feeling that the post of this news cherry picked for 1 reason or another.

Jawbreaker Review | PC | NoobFeed

NoobFeed editor Atilla Turan writes - Jawbreaker is a short and nifty indie horror game with a scary atmosphere. Despite added changes, the game still requires a difficult selection and better AI. As for people who really like unforgiving games with horror elements, Jawbreaker should be right up their alley.

I Miss When Games Came In Full Package Rather Than Broken Mess Filled With Microtransactions

The gaming industry has drifted away from offering full-fledged games to putting unfinished titles that are jam-packed with microtransactions on the market.

It's not the fault of the gaming industry. Gamers were told what was happening, were warned about where this would lead, did nothing, and now are acting like it's the fault of publishers that they kept buying these games and investing in MTX. If only those gamers at that time felt as strongly about these things as they do Helldivers 2.

Hugodastrevas21h ago

I don't think MTX target the common gamer but instead predate on the so called "whales". It's gambling pure and simple.

Christopher20h ago

Oh, so it's okay to buy MTX-laden games as long as you don't spend money on MTX, which has led to even more MTX-laden games with even more predatory practices where content that used to be unlocked is now behind paywalls?

C'mon now people. You gave the corporations and inch, and they kept taking and taking. Community members told people that investing in these things alone would only lead to more and more MTX and putting more and more behind paywalls. But it's only the fault of the corporations, not the people who kept supporting it with purchases as more and more was taken away?

Hugodastrevas19h ago

@Christopher that's a straw man, I didn't say any of that I just added context.

-Foxtrot17h ago

Well exactly

People stand up for something which seems small to them and they get called whiners or negative. Then years later the shit hits the fan and they all go “why is this happening?” Like they are innocent.

The issue aswell is younger gamers who grew up with all this thinking it’s normal and we all just look like old farts yelling at clouds when we’re trying to help us all, even them.

Hugodastrevas21h ago

This is what amazed me the most when playing hours upon hours of stellar Blade version 1.00.00 no bugs, no crashes, no sudden drops in frames, no screen tear, no falling from the world, just a complete package on a game under 50GB.
I think Korea will play a major role in gaming in the long run , because they're releasing banger after banger.

isarai21h ago

Still pretty common to find if you stay away from the AAA publishers, in the last 10yrs ive probably only bought like 3 games combined from EA/ACTIVISION/UBISOFT. Even now i still buy games that work right out the box perfectly fine. Just recently got like 6hrs into Alone in the Dark, and not a single sign of any of that bs, really enjoying my time with it.

shinoff218313h ago

There's such a misconception about every game needing a patch,this and that when in reality it's not even close. You nailed it isarai

z2g21m ago(Edited 7m ago)

And we as gamers have to accept our role in that. Constantly never being satisfied. Constantly demanding more while paying less. Constantly demanding better frame rates, better graphics, more modes and faster faster faster…. Then review bombing the product when a demand isn’t met. Meanwhile those same demands are making games more difficult, complex and more expensive to create than ever before, on shrinking timelines that burn out employees and make their lives miserable.

You wanna know why so many games get delayed? Cuz the original release dates weren’t realistic to begin with, but you can’t tell a gamer their game is further away than they want to hear. Some dev or game designer will be threatened physically. That builds even more pressure and rushing. We are officially squeezing water out of rocks and still complaining about that how hard you have to squeeze the rock be just waiting for rain. Most of the time we take it out on the developing studio, when it’s the publisher making the calls.

All you need to do is read the comments on most websites and social media to see how toxic, entitled and petty the gaming community at large is, and realize how that transforms into impossible expectations on the parts of game makers.

This is one battle that gamers have never won, hahaha. They were parading recently for their "win" against Sony. Where's the energy for this one, guys? LMAO!
