It seems that Nintendo's developer team has taken over the PR team. Ninjatendo

Guess this will feed GG's Capcom PR conspiracy machine even more.

Like that machine needs any fuel to keep going. GG just fucking invented the first perpetual motion machine ever.

Stupidity is a never ending source of power. Not only for Capcom, Sony has it too

Global crisis plays to PS3 strengths

So people have less money to spend and that will somehow make more people buy the most expensive console?! Love the logic!

That was classic Sony logic.  And one little thing I noticed was that the spin doctor here said this would be part of a person's entertainent center for 10 years.  So the PS3 has a 12 year cycle now I see.

Sony logic is awesome!

 But wait, there is more

Dille explained that Sony had always pursued a "a profit goal" with PlayStation 3, whereas the competition had "a market share goal" based around a "very aggressive pricing strategy" that cost "a lot of money".

Sony making the most profit?! While Microsoft and Nintendo are more interested with the market share?

Let's see

Ahh so red must mean profit. And negative must be positive. Yeah it makes sense.

Holy crap at total NPD... the 360 owns the charts after the top 10. Halo still selling. Fear right there at 11, L4D, Skate 2. PS3 charts... no LBP in top ten, omg. Sega collection is in that list at least...

Wii list, Jillian Michaels fitness whatever, seriously. Hey look its Brawl, at 9th.

RE4 PS2 still charting.

PSP,

The PSP list is hilarious when you look at the top 10 handheld sales and notice that it's all DS.  Even the number 1 PSP is selling less than the number 10 DS game.  If this list went on longer it probably wouldn't be around the 20th DS game.

robert rodriguez and tarantino should put in a word for this game.  surely it can do better than 45K

I wouldn't ask for help from those guys frankly.  Grindhouse the movie completely tanked in the theaters.  From a box office standpoint it was Tarantino's first failure.  That's why they ended up trying to release the movies separately in the theaters and on DVD.  No one could find a way to make people go see it.

i know, i personally loved them though.  especially rodriguez's film.  people have such bad taste

Kill Bill was awesome! I'm yet to see Rodriguez's films, though, but to be fair to me, I only recently saw Kill Bill, so I'm usually late to the party anyway.

i was deeply disappointed by vol 2 after absolutely loving vol 1 of kill bill.  i thought tarantino felt compelled to make it into a 'tarantino movie' and as such filled it with inconsequential dialogue and wtf moments when the first one was just a "true to its influences" kung fu film with very little dialoge, beautiful set pieces (a wonderful and bizarre anime sequence) and an ending to leave you with the mouth open.  vol 2 for me was a disappointment and a wasted opportunity.

as for rodriguez, i have yet to see a disappointing film of his.  all of his films have his very own personal style with over the top choreography and beneath the surface comedy (with the exception of sin city perhaps which is awesome for a whole set of different reasons).  you must have seen some of rodriguez's films:  the mariachi trilogy (el mariachi, desperado, once upon a time in mexico), spy kids, the second half (the good part) of from dusk till dawn (the boring first half was tarantino), the 3rd room in Four Rooms which is like he took desperado and spy kids and blended them into an addam's family (this had me in stitches by the time it ended).  his grindhouse movie, planet terror, is exactly what it says on the box: a trashy zombie flick made in the vain of grindhouse cinema.  it's really good, with many laugh out loud moments.  anyway i think right now i would probably name robert rodriguez alongside guillermo del torro as my favourite director.

Well HOTD 2 and 3 Wii sold over 900'000 so over the long term I hope this will do the same. If you are a European you can get it for £19.99 right now from amazon and the likes: hello fucking Iga.

Well what can I say, I suppose people are pre-occupied with RE5, SFIV and even Killzone 2, but with a couple of those games, you know they will sell regardless and you know that you will get them eventually down the line anyway. For once, instead of renting or waiting till a game is dirt cheap, try buying a game that's firstly good and secondly needs the sales first, and waiting on the other games for a price drop; you know you're going to get them anyway.  

I checked and the global sales seem to be 160'000 and that only counts a few markets. Really guys though, read the thread here, check it out, its a game well deserving of a purchase. I hope it at least does a million. I just started Madworld and undoubtably Overkill will be the more enjoyable game for me.

That seems like an odd way to buy games to me. I always purchase them in order of how badly I want to play them. I really don't base my purchases on how well or poorly a game might sell. I think buying that way is kind of foolish. For instance if I'm more interested in playing RE5 over HotD: Overkill well then RE5 will be the first game I'll buy.

That's because you are a mainstream whore with no patience.

While I know I will get around to the big games, just like I played Halo 3, GTA IV, I got SF IV too (no I didn't pay for it). I dont need to immediately play the 5th game in a series that has barely changed. I can wait a few months and try something new and good first.

You know those massive franchises are going to sell well, you know that they are going to be succeeded by yet another sequel. So why not try the new and different stuff first? I guess I'm a jaded gamer looking for something new. But I always get around to the meat and potatoes eventually. I just dont want to be served it every damn meal.

That's false, the machine doesn't work by itself. I hook the crank up to my scrotum and continually swing my sack around.

Just watched the Rune factory video review, it does look beautiful. But the fixed camera puts me off and the wonky animation and no IR use. Still looks good though not amazing or anything.

Holy crap PR overload here in the Dead Space interview page 2:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/dead-space-extraction-interview?page=2

They are really going all out to PR massage fans ballsacks.
