yes.. 70's = average . i happened to love blue dragon.. most people did not. and to be clear.. i was recommending it at $40, which is what i paid for it. not $60.
So now when its a 360 game its average? 5 is average. When its average is 79 it means the reviews as a whole think the game is above average.

..and still 2.2 million isn't bad.. especially for a brand new IP
It is great especially on two platforms. Considering that Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Motorstorm, Ratchet and Clank all sold over a million each and being a new ip on one platform with a lower install base I hardly consider them flops.

bundle games and digital games do not count on the attach rates that the NPD reports. they dont touch digital downloads whatsoever and bundle games dont have their own sales figures

Still there are these figures from the world. Paint a more accurate picture though.Notice how you omitted them.

The average Wii owner buys only 3.7 games a year, compared with 4.7 for Xbox 360 owners and 4.6 for PlayStation 3 owners, said a Wedbush Morgan analyst, Michael Pachter. “It reflects the broadening of the demographic,” he said. “Nintendo’s market doesn’t feel the same sense of urgency to buy every game that’s coming out.”

nope. it's still a demo.
Still would rather pay $40 for this "demo" with more content than $60 for a racing game with less content.

yeah, im paying because that's the console i have and i want to play online. they would obviously drop it to attract more customers. but to force them into that, the competition has to be competition. that means things like not haveing 4 different usernames to play Metal Gear Solid online or friend codes that you have to trade via email or phone.
I play Metal Gear Online with one user id. I also get dedicated servers and I don't have to pay for it. Also PSN hasn't had as many problems in dropping as XBL. Hmmm.

microsoft is in the black on the 360 last i heard(i could be wrong and i dont care enough to look it up)
MS recently posted 2 profitably quarters since they put the $1 billion loss for RROD alone in the last quarter so they other quarters would look prettier. The 360 as a whole still is in the red and the gaming division as a whole has never been out of the red since the beginning of the original Xbox.

Well when you do I will look out for your PSN id.
