Weekend Confirmed 87 - Zelda: Skyward Sword, Halo Anniversary, Skyrim
by Garnett Lee, Nov 18, 2011 11:00am PSTLink's next adventure, the Legend of Zelda: Skyward sword kept Billy--who also penned the Shacknews.com review--enthralled for over fifty hours. Jeff also dusted off his Wii to play it and the two of them have plenty of praise for the game to get the show started. Xav also returns to round out the rest of the cast joining Garnett this week. He's been adventuring in Skyrim and rediscovering Halo, in the ten year anniversary HD remake. With the momentous time on everyone's mind, we look back at the original Xbox, and lest we be remiss, Billy makes sure we remember the GameCube as well as it too turns ten. Along the way we also talk about how the big games of October fared at the register, which of them now reigns supreme online, and more before wrapping it up with Finishing Moves and weekly football tailgate.

I thought it was a forgone conclusion.
The FPS category is the fastest growing category in gaming, year over year, so obviously the arrival of a major, heavily-hyped FPS was going to outsell a single-player adventure game.
As for RAGE sales, I'm disappointed for Id, but on the other hand, Bethesda and Zenimax left them out to dry by releasing that game under the shadown of the impending BF3/MW3 war and not offering enough marketing to break through.
Loved the hell out of that game though. Right up there with Crysis 2 and Bulletstorm as the best FPS games of the year IMO.

For release-week figures though, you're ALWAYS looking at enthusiast gamers, and the enthusiast community surrounding BF games and FPS games is definitely larger than the enthusiast circles surrounding Batman games.
