The PS3 version is undertracked, i dont know by how much but it has to be.

Well, this won't catch up unless ioi makes those adjustments to SC4 360 numbers that NPD showed a disparity for.

Ahh, Nick. That's the funny thing about making predictions. Eventually, you're going to get one right. I'll bump the original thread when the time comes.

Ps3 version outsold 360 version this week by 10k. Looks like I was right.

I didnt really play this game that much, but it is still fun to pick up for a fight every now and again

Anyway, there is a decent chance that this could make it to 1m, and almost certainly will considering they shipped 2m basically day 1

This is probably the best fighting game ever.

--OkeyDokey-- posted 15/09/2008, 11:06
lol, Munkeh, me too. He blocks everything, and Vader doesn't have any decent low attacks. So friggin' frustrating >_>

Anyways, this game is pretty meh. It hasn't changed at all since the first one and I'm starting to get sick of it.

Play the last three Tekken games and you'll immediately notice that the core fighting has changed significantly, as has each fighter, and always for the better.

Guess I'll have to wait for Tekken 6 and SFIV.

Nothing special. And it's true: When I first played SC4, I kept winning against a friend who had weeks of online practice. And it's not because I've got a lot of Beat'em up experience: The last one I've played was Street Fighter 2. Today's fighting games are just too easy, and they feel more like watching an interactive movie than actually playing.

I totally disagree a pro could easily beat any button masher, it's just the online is laggy no matter what.

A Pro can be beaten by a noob because it's mainly button mashing.

I agree Gearbox.

Finally got this game.... it is awesome, though I spent 45 minutes trying to beat the apprentice as Vader.... so annoying, I ended up doing it by picking him up and chucking him constantly

This game is to easy. A Pro can be beaten by a noob because it's mainly button mashing. Yoda for the 360 version is the most imballanced char every in the history of soul calibar beating out link in Soul Cal 2 for the GC.

considering that the sales for the 360 version are 50k higher (according to NPD). there isn´t so much difference.

But the tower of lost souls and character customization ROCK!

Quick! How much will this sell?

I say 4 million between both systems lifetime sales. As for 1st week sales, 400k on the 360, 270k on the PS3.

--OkeyDokey-- posted 26/07/2008, 12:52
I think this might outsell the 360 version because of PAL, Japan and Vader.
But we'll see. This'll be one of the first games I buy for my shiny new ps3 :)

@ gamer4life, because ubi are publishing it in europe

The thought that kratos may be in this game is enough to make me want the PS3 version over the xbox one... I just have to rely on how much namco bandai love money on getting Yoda (even if it is a rip off, it will be so worth it!)

Get this for the fact that you will have the vastly superior and cooler Darth Vader straight away, and a half-decent D-Pad.

Namco Bandai has not ruled out having downloadable characters for either version, I think the best way to choose what version you want is based on your controller preference for fighting games.

I am torn between whether to get this or the 360 version (i should have a 360 by then) ideally I would go for Yoda
