Seems to me like you guys used to love buying games early on in the gen and then you said meh and stopped buying them. Almost every series has a downward trend. Or you are all cheap bastards and simply wait 3 years till its like $10.

I used to belong in the latter category, apart from the few games I really wanted which I got on launch, I just bought every major game which seemed good enough when it reached a nice price level (usually around the 15-20 pound mark).  This changed about 4-5 months ago.  I only bought 5-6 games.  Now I only get games I really want and I get them at full price.  I want to cut down even more as even now I don't have time to play them all, but it's an improvement.  I'm saving my money towards more important things

LOL

Well Halo, Uncharted, ME sales are consistent. I guess we buy new games then franchise fatigue sets in.

So there's Demon Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2?

You annoying bastard, you need to look at what you posted of bugs list and just give me what you didn't mention before or it will mess up the stats.

To make things easier next time I'll do platform lists in portions.

I think from the figures it does show enthusiam at the start then waning interest for some franchises. I guess this is why we need new consoles to re-energise us and pump up enthusiasm. Shows why the console lifecycle is so important.

Well people need to amend their results then, I listed Dark Souls 1 but people kept asking if it was Demons Souls so it's confusing as to what they were voting for, I just lobbed all the votes under Demons Souls.

Demons Souls

Dark Souls

Everyone re-vote nao.

How many copies has X game sold among our little band of brothers? Let's keep it relatively recent, say from the start of current gen.

It'll be hard to track so keep your votes in bold. I'll try to build a big list of games and see how many copies it's sold here. Some will be placeholders for future games.

Starting out, if you own any of the following games give me a shout out.

  • Burnout Paradise -
  • Condemned -
  • Condemned 2 -
  • Crysis -
  • Crysis 2 -
  • Demon Souls
  • Dark Souls
  • Dark Souls 2 (Not yet but left all three games on for disambiguation)
  • L.A. Noire -
  • Lego City Undercover -
  • Little Kings Story -
  • Muramasa -
  • Perfect Dark Zero -
  • Resident Evil 5 -
  • Resident Evil revelations -
  • Uncharted -
  • Uncharted 2 -
  • Uncharted 3 -
  • Viva Pinata
  • Xenoblade -

Notes:

  • Vaders, Foolz WW is redacted till HD
  • Vader is marking future purchases
  • Bugs, I'm sure you own Uncharted?
  • I only listed what has been marked by you guys, for instance I know 3 people have a game but it's marked as one. I'm only marking what you say because then I can make sure new votes are new votes and not repeats

I've also bought the ones i've left in from the current list
