the ps2. Maybe it'll get a boost in a couple weeks with SO4? Can it outsell the ps3?

PantherLotus6331d ago

I don't think it can, but it's possible.

The PS3 is actually doing pretty well compared to last year at this time. Maybe it has found new momentum with successive impressive releases?

SL1M DADDY6330d ago

More sales numbers to help me sleep better.

/sarcasm

Come on folks, at this late in the game, does any of this stuff really make a difference? Just asking because all I ever see from sales numbers is a bunch of fanboys getting their panties in a bunch over numbers that will never amount to anything for us gamers.

Does anybody actually own stock in these companies and if so, what returns have you seen in regards to the financial reports that come to us monthly?

VsAssassin6330d ago

Actually, PS3 selling better has an effect to PS3 owners. It gives them this reassurance that more Devs will start to make games for the PS3. Some games like JRPGs are being horded by the 360. If PS3 expands it's install base, those devs will at least make their games multi-plat right off the bat and not timed-exclusive anymore. Or, they will make games exclusively for the PS3 in competition with the 360.

We may not benefit from it directly, but indirectly, yes. But I think you already know that.

FarEastOrient6330d ago

I think there are over 250 thousand Final Fantasy VII Special Edition PS3s already on pre-order. Plus what kind of text is that? All the systems took a dive over the past couple of weeks, plus the fact that there were no good software released for Jan.

SL1M DADDY6330d ago

I understand that logic and would believe it if we were seeing an install base of 10 million but the PS3 is double that now and is already a guaranty to developers that most if not all games will sell enough to be profitable. All I am saying is that sales of consoles at this time is for investors, not gamers. The install base of each console is a solid showing to developers that games will be sold on each platform and so the argument that more consoles sold ='s more games is a minute and dare I say nearly moot point right now.

Just wait for the Final Fantasy Advent Children blu ray to release, Japan PS3 sales will skyrocket

Voiceofreason6330d ago

Ps3 software sales are extremely low. There is not proof that making a game for PS3=instant success. Lair, Haze, LBP,REsistance2... Ahh whats the point..PS3 has a lower attach rate than the Wii, thats how poor its doing. Anyone that cant see that by now is either an extreme idiot or jsut a fanboy who wants to deny reality. You think PS3 software sales are so great? Please explain Factor 5, haze developer, Midway crisis, PS3 games needing 3-4 months to reach 2 million sales when Wii and 360 only needed a couple of weeks to do that with their games, PS3 getting less play time than the original xbox. I mean if software numbers are as good as you claim why is PS3 doing so poorly? Also can you provide a link to where you get your software numbers? NPD proves you wrong as does Famitsu and Media create.

Notice Wii sales? I think it isn't just PS3 fOObs.

PantherLotus6331d ago

Please don't let console sales hurt your feelings. Everything is down.

Danja6331d ago

ppl are waiting to buy the FF7 PS3 bundle....but sales are pretty consistent though considering sales normally drop off alot..after the holidays

RPG Guy6330d ago

continued anti-PS3 emphasis in anything written here than it does my feelings...yesh.

edwineverready6331d ago

will make the ps3 sales increase and then final fantasy.

Chubear6330d ago

More like EXPLODE! It's not going to be pretty when FF13 launches in JPN this March/April. PS3 sales are going to be off the charts.

thebudgetgamer6331d ago (Edited 6331d ago )

lol

:)

edit: im not bashing the 360 more admiring the strength of the ps2

PantherLotus6331d ago

Something I'm sure Sony is proud of, no doubt.

That said, the 360 has more than tripled its sales from this time last year. Unfortunately for Microsoft, 3 x 0 = 0. <-- j/k ;)

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle32d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7732d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg38d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree38d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai38d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
