Wow... i'm suprised ps3's got so many games higher than 360, including multiplat games. Then again the only reason the ps3 bad company 2 is higher than 360 is because of the beta, but still.

ThePlaystation3guy6020d ago

Don't be surprised...things are beginning to change, my friend. ;D

TotalPS3Fanboy6020d ago

I guess all those effort that went into dooming MAG was just a waste of time.

evrfighter6020d ago

interesting to note that out of the top three ps3 games

2 of them are fps games

Looks like ps3 gamers have almost turned into shooter fans like their 360 buddies

Cyrax_876020d ago (Edited 6020d ago )

Ah no...

If that were the case those two shooters would be outselling GoW3 4-1. Kinda like how every shooter on the 360 passes the lifetimes sales of great games like Forza 3, Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect in just a few weeks after release.

"Looks like ps3 gamers have almost turned into shooter fans like their 360 buddies"

You're an idiot with that statement. Since when did PS3 owners not like shooters? The PS3 started with one of it's most successful shooter, Resistance. Other shooters like Warhawk, the COD series, MGS4, Killzone are top selling games for the PS3. You should stop generalizing and think before you post.

Guess people were burned by the crappy programming of the first one that maybe they are waiting to hear the reviews first?

Gran Turismo numbers are starting to snowball even though there is no set release date for the US.

Amazing for God of War III and MAG!

spektical6020d ago

yea, lots of people are interested in MAG, hopefully ther are plenty of people to play with for several months to come!

Braineater24486020d ago

I think MAG is interested in concept, but won't be successful as am actual game. It'll be the communism of gaming. Just my thoughts.

OrganicMachine6020d ago

you haven't played the beta yet have you?

SprSynJn6019d ago

And while it was an entertaining game, I cannot see it replacing Modern Warfare 2 as my FPS of choice. If I had friends who were interested in buying it, then I might get it as well. At this point though, it looks like it wont be in my library.

swiftshot936020d ago

Im surprised GT5 is up there even with no release date, thats gonna be a huge game.

Multiplatform games are surprisingly selling better on PS3 even with the double install base the 360 has, which is kind of amazing.

PimpHandHappy6020d ago

i doubt those pre orders are from beta players.... i think its more the hype around 256 ppl fighting in a constant war that will bring numbers. I look at it as round one of the real step away from XBL vs PSN talk. This is just the start. Few years down the road if this works it will become the next step in online gaming...

Im in and will be playing S.E.R.V
didnt play the beta

it ruined PS3 socom for me

Sevir046020d ago

but it'll be safer to just do the beta and then skip the final release if it aint what you think. however, the beta is awesome, the Socom beta was a hogwash crapfest, even more worse than mag was in the closed beta.

How ever, this game is going to be really great in the final release. I even had a chance to play the recent build that they showed off at the CES show this past weekend. ^^ it looks better than the beta, all i can say is Mag will be sweet, having played the beta i'm glad i gave the game a chance and didnt dump it like i did in the private beta.

and yes. SVER all the way ^^

Sevir046020d ago

I guess alot of people have tried the private and open beta and like it. I hope it knocks a million with in a month. it deserves to prove the haters wrong as it is an awesome game.. as for God of War 3, heh, this game is already on it's way to high sales. the second game sold 2 million in 3 days... i think this time, GOW3 will prolly sell 4 million in a matter of a week. it'll be interesting to see all the work come out for it.

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.

solideagle69d 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

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

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.

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

jznrpg75d 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.

Smellsforfree75d 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.

Loktai75d 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.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde76d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy76d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12576d ago (Edited 76d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
