And Dead Space hit 1.4 and it was released in Oct multi platform. So what is your point (Everyone above) ?

No it’s a comparison. A multi plat goes 1.4 and you folks criticize a game that goes 1.5 on one platform in only 2 months. I mean its a fine looking game, but not all of use are moved to buy every FPS, yes I know this one was the BIG one, Sony’s Halo killer etc. But at the end of the day compared to a game that has an almost equal Metacritic score it sold better on one platform. Secondly Halo sales took eons to reach their boiling point numbers.

Don’t be soo confused with life.

But no-one was criticising it in this news item Mad-elph, yet you specifically responded to those criticisms by talking about Dead Space… are the voices in your head telling you what to write again?

It was a news piece from today aswell. And Yes the news piece did not crticize I was responding to those dismissive voices below. My bad if I bent you out of shape but the truth is that I wanted to provide a point of context, a comparison of sorts. I will keep quiet from now on.

This shooter has the most GARBAGE GUNS and aiming of any shooter I have played. Bullets don’t go where the reticule (aim scope) points.. there is a randomness. So it introduces an element of Luck.. which I HATE in a shooter. Too see shooting aim done right just look at COD 4, Gears, R6, hell even the 50 Cent game has accuracy.. dont’ know why this game can’t Shoot straight.

Seraphemz, I thought you didn’t even like FPS’s!?

Anyway, what we need are more stories about Modern Warfare 2…

That would be nice.

@Seraphemz – I generally get my stats on when I’m stuck doing conference calls. It keeps me sane. :D

I did? That should be everything which sold above 200k that has appeared in the NPD figures for both consoles since Nov 06.

What do you think should be there?
