it's interesting how games with no history, like Wii Sports/Play are getting waaaaaaay toooo popular. That's a revolution.

Is VF5 released for the X60 or not yet? (please don't mind my ignorance )

I believe Wii Sports will sell more than 3 million copies in the end.


VF5 is not going to be released on 360 in Japan. Neither is Virtua Tennis 3. I don't know why.
Rumor has it that Sony and Sega have some kind of contract. It's just a rumor, though.

or maybe Sega fears that it won't sell enough on the X60 since it's not that popular? on the other hand, maybe microsoft can afford to "push" Sega to do it

Strangely Dead or Alive 4 on 360 was doing better than VF5 on PS3.
It sold about 60,000 copies in the first week.
It is remarkable that "at that time" the sales number of 360 cosole was 80,000.
the sales number of PS3 now is 600,000

Wow, that's an incredible amount of people buying one game...a game that I thought was subpar, but that's a different story.

OMG! 6 out of 8 X60 were sold with DOA4, 5 out of 60 PS3 were sold with VF5! WTH!

If there was enough supply of DQM, there would have been no chance for VF5.
