It's a shame that they released this game only a week before B Ops!!! they should have released it way sooner.ppl that can't afford to buy 2 games just waited for B Ops.they would have sold more copies if they would have released it months ago. it's a good game but I am hooked on B Ops for now. I am  not much of a 2 game person,when I find a game I like then I stick with it for a while.if u could customize the controls in GE I would probably still play it.Caen I hope to catch u on B Ops some!

Yeah, but then they would have missed out on the holiday season.  They will sell far more copies at christmas than they lost from BO.

I have no desire to play BO, so I will be getting this game and playing it exclusively.  I am also a one game at a time player and I just can't bring myself to make that one game another CoD game right now.  I have spent the last year on MWR and really don't want the same old formula again for my next game.

Goldeneye is still selling better than Black Ops (see my topic in the Black Ops section), but yeah Black Ops probably did take some revenue away from Goldeneye. They are both from Activision so they are making money either way.

first, as I said before, I have no interest in another CoD game.  Sorry.

second, there is NO WAY it would have sold better being released earlier.  The christmas season increases the sales of video games at least tenfold.  The market is so much more filled with consumers that it wouldn't even be close.  Even if there were 5 great FPS games on the wii at christmas, it would still be better for each of those games released against each other at christmas time than for any of them to be released alone earlier in the year.  I used to work at best buy while I was in law school and I know for a fact the dramatic increase in consumer dollars over the holiday season, especially on video games.

good thing the people you know are not representative of the market.  At christmas time, many kids get more than one game and will likely get both.  Whereas those same kids may not even get another game during the year.  It is pure and simple consumer dollars.  The sheer volume of money spent on games during the holidays necessitates better sales for all available titles, even bad ones, just because they are available.  Goldeneye will sell more just to kids who don't even want it during the holidays (from parents just picking it up without a clue) than it would have by kids who actually want it at other times of the year.

I understand your thought that competing with BO can't be good, and it makes sense.  But the market dynamics defy common sense during the holidays.  That's just how it is.

I will definitely play some COD/BO and I am going to prestige at least once and get those damn pro perks again, lol.  You have to prestige to play prestige TDM.  I understand why you want to play COD/BO...it is a great game (with headset) and that recent patch cleaned up the on-line access issues last I was on.  I too wish Goldeneye was released further from COD/BO but I will try to play both despite the fact it is hard to master two games that play differently.  Personally, I am happy with my Wii FPS library to play...now if I only had more time to play  Embarrassed

I am glad someone is going to main Goldeneye.  I am feeling an urge to play Goldeneye and rank up for some reason...

golden is alright. cod is alright. the next 50 fps games to be released will be alright. and then they will come up with something great,like mohh2. Money is the motivater, for these developers, to flood the market ,with new games. As long as people waste their money, on all these games, that are really no different from the last.....we keep getting hammered with product. Christmas or no xmas, people are addicted to ''new''. they cant see the forest, for all the trees.     now go ahead, **** me.
