NPD Reports Strong Sales of Madden, Gears of War, and Dead Island
AppId is over the quota
Here's what did!
1. Madden NFL 12
2. Gears of War 3
3. Dead Island
4. FIFA Soccer 12
5. NHL 12
Gotta love Madden's continue dominance, and no one should be surprised by Gears of War 3's strong sales. I am taken back by Dead Island's dominance in the market. With review scores tending low on the scales, Dead Island is probably surprising Deep Silver and Square Enix.
Guess that means we're in for more zombies! Take a look at the rest of the top 10 chart and then organize them into your own fantasy list.
6. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
7. Resistance 3
8. Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars
9. Call of Duty: Black Ops
10. Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine
Rockstar denies reports of L.A. Noire overheating Xbox 360E, too
From L.A. Noire was released earlier this week in Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Rockstar Games has been filtered through reports of freeze, freezes and stories about overheating consoles. For a time, the company was theorizing that the latest PS3 firmware was the culprit. Quickly changed yesterday.
There was no real floating theory to the owners of Xbox 360 plauging of issues, but Rockstar issued a statement today to solve it, pointing the finger to the people of media as I to inspire collective hysteria.
"With the launch of L.A. Noire a very small number of the console Xbox 360 owners reported problems with the game of freezing or locking up playing," said the company said in a statement. "We have posted some suggestions to solve problems in our support site for these very few people, a common practice for any game publisher." "Unfortunately this was mistakenly picked up by some media as a 'history', reports that L.A. Noire was causing problems to consoles Xbox 360 - which is categorically false."
I do not recall accusing the game - or Microsoft - anything devious hardware, only report what Rockstar Yes was saying in his own support Web site. However, people running in problems, hopefully that they should be addressed in a patch that sometime in the near future for both platforms.
"As soon as we have official information on the first patch and the time frame for its implementation, we will post the information here," said a spokesman for the company on the website of Rockstar support.
