You worthless discriminatory retards. Play ur damned 360 and put a sock in it…. and try leaving the tired-ass international boundary argument to rest. Draw some lines somewhere else you jealous, ignorant, whining bastards. Every damned post you idiots bitch about that shit. Give the community a break for Christmas how about? Is it just that glovner guy or what? Either case, shit, … get a life.

To be fair, remember that these BK games are compatible with both the original Xbox and Xbox 360. My guess is that a large portion of customers purchasing these tites are original Xbox owners.

Not at all, I just love the over the top American reaction it causes everytime.

To be honest most of the American’s on the friends list I get on quite well with, except they do understand irony or sarcasm. However you need to remember I never made or promoted the sterotype, thats down to you guys.

Yeah right McDonalds, good one.

Funny how every insult that comes is at least some way connected with food.

Enough now fatties, all you are doing is expending energy that you will just have to replace by shoving another burger down your wobbly throat.

Hmmmm…
Burger King games = $4.00
Gears Of War = $60.00 or $70.00

If Gears of War cost $4.00 I’m sure it would have sold a lot more then 2 million copies in 6 weeks.

Its the publishers that get $1 per copy sold not the developers. The devs get $27/copy.

maybe he is forgetting that microsoft is an american company, and so are a lot of developers - bungie, bethesda, infinity ward…i guess they are all chubby and stupid too. that’s why they make great games…

It seems the only person who wants to be a total ass his entire life is The_Glovner. Everytime an artical is posted that deals with Americans he feels the need to bring up size. I guess he has size issues in his personal life that he needs to deal with.

I’m actually mad at myself for posting this news. Why can’t we go thorough an article without someone calling the american people fat. And with me being american and posting this news, it makes me angry. I just posted this news because I though it was funny that the BK games sold just as much as Gears in a less ammount of time. But it’s because of the price.
Whatever.

They use flat pricing of $60 for games no matter what it costs to produce them. Are selling the BK games and losing $56 on each one? I only say that because there is no way a game like “Pimp my ride” should be so expensive. With Gears, I can clearly see the the production costs.

I hope this gets things going for releasing the games outside of USA.

Something to note is that the same game plays both in my old Xbox and my 360. My son gets double play time with the same game.

I’m not calling American’s fat because they buy Burger King Games.

I’m calling American’s fat because they are American.

You brits need to chill out. I’m CDN, not American, but I do have some friends in the states. To call Amercs fat because they buy BK games is stupid. Nothing more. I can tell you that for $4 you can’t go wrong with these games. Pocket Bike Racer is actually pretty fun, and you can do 8 people MP. Its just a marketing gimmick and its worked very well. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more things like this.

For $4, they are better than most of the crap on XBLA at $5. I only bought the BK games for the achievements (I’m a whore…), but they aren’t terrible by any means. You just get what you pay for.

Oh, and does that 2M go for ALL 3 games or are they each selling 2M copies??

“Proof that people will buy any old shit if it’s cheap enough.”
Yup - You’d see a lot more million selling next gen games if they all weren’t set at a flat $60 plus tax. Video game publishers have to learn a lesson here - you don’t need a big budget to make a hit video game. You just need a gimmick and an attractive price.

By: The_Glovner

The_Glovner — Thu, 21 Dec 2006 13:56:06 +0000

It’s not really surprising they have sold so well.

Think about it, the American’s get to get a burger and a game at the same time.

I’m just surprised they ain’t sold more, chubby yanks.

So violence and burgers is what ppl obviously want ? And here I thought we had at least evolved in some ways since the roman empire went to shit ^^
