Taken from the VGC November NPD expectation report. Still banging on I know but the gulf between the 360 and the PS3 sales is closing yet nothing supports the PS3 with a 144DKP rather it shows that is should be very considerable less. Hoepfully this is a bit clearer then my attempt at explaining this yesterday.
Ah normal, especially if you talk against a hyped game. Well you got the bid back from me. People discussing with me, having a understandable point are always welcome to expand my view, even if I don't agree with them :)
Just lazy dumb asses downbidding. The bidding thing is double edged and when you get wasted bids like that it just gets your goat up. That is two down bids now which to my mind is just lazy. It is especially annoying if a simple edit would of removed the error.
I meant to stick to over/under tracking but slipped up at the end had I had an edit function that would of gone. What I primarily pointing out that the PS3 sales remain to high.
So the 360 version managed 1.3 million in 3 weeks and you say it won't reach 1.8? I mean VGC is most likley overtracking US+CA (at least compared to NPD), because they sample seem to have a hardcore bias. But if we assume 1.3 million is correct, that 1.8 million lifetime seems low to me, thinking that we still have holiday shopping time.
From VGChartz "Assassin’s Creed is nearing 1.2 million units. The split in sales for 360/PS3 versions remains at 70%/30%"
So if this is true are we over/under egging both the 360 and PS3 versions?
That leaves Xbox at 1.25 million sold with another 600K to go to reach our current lifetime prediction. The PS3 with 750K sold and another 600K to go which if this trend continues is over 225K to high for the PS3.
Both the 360 and PS3 stocks look to high at the moment and the PS3 probably a little bit more so than the 360.
Though Ubisoft is hard at work on a patch to repair the buggy PS3 version of Assassin's Creed, they can't quite figure out what the problem is. Popular Mechanics contacted Ubi's senior PR manager Michael Beadle about the bug, which, among other things, freezes assassin Altair in midair, and were told that the company is still baffled by the problem. Those of you who were waiting patiently for a patch are going to have to keep on waiting, because it doesn't look like it's coming any time soon.
