The tactical shooter records 77% of sales on Xbox 360 and the remainder on PS3 with the Xbox 360 version selling 3.6 times more than the original had achieved on Microsoft’s next-gen format back in December 2006. ‘Rainbow Six: Vegas 2’ becomes the 4th fastest selling Xbox 360 game in the UK, behind ‘Halo 3’, ‘Call of Duty 4’ and only 1,000 units behind Ubisoft’s very own ‘Assassin’s Creed’.

wulan5892d ago

so definitely PS3 gamers wont be excited for a typical shooter/other games.

Resistance made it back to no 20. It is because of the price cut. However no resistance ps3 bundle was offered.

Next week will see sales records tumble.

The big one GT5 Prologue will be released . It is sold out at Game/play/Hmv/micromania fr/amazon fr/de and 95% of UK retailers.

Just to let others be reminded that GT5 prologue has over 1 million in preorders (could be 1.3/4 million by now) . FF12 was the LAST game to have that many preorders in 2006/2007

BLaZiN PRopHeT5892d ago

Stop getting so defensive that was written by chart trackers theres no need to go into SDF mode and why hasnt your account been banned this is like your 10th one.

games4fun5892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

more than halo, also cod4 is on charts for ps3 above 360 basically all these numbers prove that all 3 systems are doing fine

wulan5892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

defensive?

what do you mean?

show me any x360 game that had over 500,000 preorders in europe?
show me one?

Halo3 had 300,000 in UK and 60,000 in Australia and around 100,000 elsewhere in europe.

This is not a joke.

around 1.3/4m preorders . You can easily determine the impact it will have on ps3 and console war in europe

BLaZiN PRopHeT5892d ago

halo 3 sold over 750k in the UK alone and that was at the end of 07. so pre-orders dont mean sh1t. could you give me a link to your numbers and i dont mean HMV and amazon.com main website like you always do.

wulan5892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

when it comes to much bigger GT5P which is sold out in 95% of Eu stores.
Halo3 sold 60% /70% of its total sales in UK alone cuz you know it better about x360 HW sales in other european countries.

GT5P will sell between 1.5m - 2 m in europe in its launch week if there are no shortages. Even if there are shortages it would easily top 1.2/3m million in its launch week

HMV is the biggest gaming store in UK

Play is SOLD OUT too www.play.co.uk

Game is SOLD OUT too www.game.co.uk

micromania is the biggest store in France

you can get GT5P if you preorder now but you wont get your copy until April 2008

as for numbers

GT5P had over 1 million in preorders. googgle for NUMEROUS websites. However you will never find 500K + HALo3 or 1 million +HALO3 preorders in europe

Just shut up and quit trolling

BLaZiN PRopHeT5892d ago

So could you not ignore my other comments and show me where you get your numbers and facts from? because on all the different sites ive seen you on everything you say always seems like crap and lies.

wulan5892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

I have given you links

But you dont get it since we know about your bias . we seen your posts in GT /PSU

see the links i posted above. rather than talking crap why dont you look at them and see for yourselves

http://www.play.co.uk
http://www.game.co.uk
http://www.hmv.co.uk
http://www.amazon.co.uk
http://www.amazon.de
http://www.micromania.fr

why dont you head to OPEN ZONE rather

GT5 Prologue has over 1 million in preorders in europe (reached that margin 3 weeks ago)

http://www.joystiq.com/2008...

BLaZiN PRopHeT5892d ago

whatever im done arguing with you its pointless. all your states have no solid figures to back them up. you always link to the same thing that also shows no numbers.

Peekay5892d ago

You're arguing with Nasim

I also think you under estimate GTP.

sonarus5892d ago

Why disagree with blazing he stated the facts. Consider the 360 price drop, the fiasco that was a ps3 version of R6V i am surprised ps3 owners even bought enough to hit 3rd. Anyways, we know who will be number 1 next week lol

hmm RFOM still selling well dats amazing....Uncharted still doing good also...

lawman11085892d ago

Some sales numbers for you my man, Uncharted 1.5 million sold Viva Pinata? 1.3 THAT is just sad. Sorry

Danja5892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

I dont see Viva Pinata ne where in the top 40...??

Uncharted has been in the top 40 since it's release...hence it's still doing good...

OC Shock Value5892d ago

i feel sorry for all the poor sad jabronis that fell into the trap of purchasing army of 2.. GOOD job people.. now EA will make about 10 more army of 2 games.. we have to learn to ignore that company.. until they start making good games again.. army of 2 does not cut it.. where the FU** is Freedom Fighters 2??

Gam715892d ago

Lol.

You have an excellent point.

Everyone should ignore EA.

Gam715892d ago

A 360 game in the top 5 in France with no ps3 game from a website thats her bible.

She must be spitting blood.

Where are your excuses now?

I know your gonna say the uk doesn't matter and is not in eu(!?!) but last week you said no 360 game in france, germany etc had ever been in the top 10 yet when I gave you proof with a 360 game in germanys no.1 spot you said that I had to use a chart from months ago and gave me current charts (and once again missing the point you made and how wrong you was)

You said no game would ever be in the top ten and that the 360 is dead well prepare to see yourself how we do.

As a no good lying fangirl who makes everything she says up.

France :
Early Top 5 - Week 10, 2008

01 (01) [NDS] Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Sega)
02 (02) [WII] Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Sega)
03 (04) [NDS] New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo)
04 (__) [360] Army of Two (Electronic Arts)
05 (02) [WII] Wii Play (Nintendo)

"no 360 game will ever be in the top 10 in eu(!?!)"

Wrong again. I wait for your witty rebuttal.

Well name calling, swearing, and lots of made up "facts"

XxZxX5892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

One week and this guy so proud of it..... We been laughing for months and this guy grab one week and proud of it. Pathetic LOL Wait for this week data, I'm sure you will piss blood when you found out whose number 1.

Gam715892d ago

Your missing the point as well.

I've been listening to DooDoobrains drivel for weeks and want to hear her squirm out of this one like she always tries to.
All she can do is mention a handfull of countries she thinks will support her argument. Yet more proof shes wrong and she can't use the that wasn't this week argument.

Keep laughing. 360 worldwide software sales are usually DOUBLE the ps3.

We've been laughing as well, but harder.

XxZxX5892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

worldwide? I don't know your Map are just consist of UK and US. LOL Spain, Germany, France have been PS3 land for a long time, not to forgot JP too. UK and US PS3 sales is not that bad actually as compared in JP, XBOX 360 is none existed. At the end of the day, XBOX 360 worldwide sales do not double PS3 software sales. Keep dreaming bots. BTW go check HALO 3 in the chart...nothing see Resistance and Call of Duty 4 there.. ?? Well Sucks for XBOX 360. It only have short bursts of buyer then it die off unlike PS3 and Wii..Shame

Gam715892d ago

Another account DooDoo.

I've had this discussion with you before. 360 do double the amount of ps3

Anybody notice XBOX 360 Games have short burst of sales only, where PS3 sales are more constant and lasting?

Gam715892d ago

Nope just you.

Unless you can prove that doodoo

daveoftheproject5892d ago

the slow burning but longlasting sales of uncharted and resistance seem to show there's something in what your saying, as does the higher position of CoD4, which i imagine was higher on 360 during its release phase but has sustained more even sales for longer on ps3

XxZxX5892d ago

well Gam71, not just me.. someone else just proof it for you. So It might be just you.

green5892d ago

Sorry but you are so wrong.
-Halo 3 is at 23 after 6 months
-Call of Duty 4 is slightly behind the PS3 version,but sold more overall on the 360
-and Guiter Heroes 3 on 360 is still on the charts.

Gam715892d ago

Well xxzxx looks like its not just me but more people have dsagreed with you.

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack23h ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville4h ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

-Foxtrot22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack17h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya6h ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

isarai14h ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Profchaos4h ago

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos4h ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

FinalFantasyFanatic9m ago

I really didn't like this game, tried it because of how loved the original Prey was, played the demo of this one and thought it was garbage, it didn't feel nice/fun to play.

LostPotato22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack17h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer57946h ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno4h ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville4h ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.

Helldivers 2 Star Wars Mod Looks Pretty Insane

Star Wars is coming to Helldivers 2, unofficially that is, as a new mod revamps in-game models and sends players to a galaxy far, far, away.

thejigisup7h ago

To you. What makes them interesting?

repsahj6h ago

This is the reason they cancel the psn link.

Would It Have Even Mattered If Redfall Were Good?

Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.

Read Full Story >>
thegamer.com
Profchaos10h ago

Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.

There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life

jwillj2k410h ago

No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.

Profchaos1h ago

Pretty much no game in Bethesda stables makes cod numbers instantly even fallout 4 Bethesda's best selling game sold 12 million at launch and over the next 10 years climbed to over 32 which cod would do rapidly

CrimsonWing699h ago

I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’

franwex9h ago

Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.

Exvalos9h ago

No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
