Ashes Cricket 2009 Bestselling second week in a row

[ksduded]

While it would be nice to see an EA game, they might ignore the PC if the codies version doesn't do well.

Here is the ranking according to different platforms

PS3 Rank #1
Xbox Rank #1
Wii Rank #2
PC Rank #8

So relatively people are not getting the PC Version. Even GTA4 and Modern Warfare is selling more than Ashes.

Anyways I am planning to get the new PS3 slim for $299 which was announced today, so don't care.

Do they record data for people who return the game/use it as a coaster?

Only if it shows up in the bottom line.

Not many games "sell" in India.

Well, believe me, this time it has been absolutely different. As of now, nearly 75 percent of the students in our school have a "legal" copy of the game. And many plan to buy it this Sunday. Why shouldn't they buy an "original" copy? The price is amazingly cheap! Plus the shops are offering huge discounts, and all that. I'm glad to say this, finally an awareness is spreading. And it's the price factor which is doing the trick. Even two years back, most of the games here used to cost around Rs 1300-1500. But now, the picture is has changed. The fact that GTA IV is priced Rs 499 (10$ approx) in India just sums up the situation. There's more satisfaction in spending an extra Rs 400, and buying an original version, rather than having a pirated copy for Rs 100. This realization is finally there, which is gradually generating positive results.

So how much is AC09 in India? Rs 800? (I presume we're talking PC price, here?)

any way to know the actual number of copies sold?

 

[Sureshot]

Nope Rs 499

So the game costs $10 in India?

Can't see them making any profit on that. Loss leader perhaps.

Do you know the population of india and paksitan? I think what they have done is very wise. number of copies sold in India and Pakistan would be atleast 10 times more then UK and Australia because of the price. They will make less profit on each game but more profit over all because of the number of games sold.

 

[sorrydaijin]

Wow, that's cheap!!!
Any Indian shops ship to Japan?

 

[ksduded]

so guys the copy that you have in India for PS3, is it region free or PAL standard?

Cause I can see a few good prices from Indian ebay sellers, but they have listed it as PAL and not region free.

The whole Asian gaming market will always be dominated by piracy. It won't change.
