A True PS3 Console Seller

With God of War 3 less than 2 weeks away, the much anticipated title is expected to give the PS3 a huge push with console sells. But let's not forget the game that spiked up the PS3 sells in February. With only one week out, Heavy Rain has not only sold well, it has also been a PS3 console seller.

N4PS3G5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

really? seriously..really? 17,000 bump in sales is what you call a TRUE console seller? wow You guys must have pretty low standards for qualifying true console sellers..like ..reeeaaalllly low standards

Chupa-Chupa5917d ago

the actual total sells if you read in the article is 188,000 in just one week. 17,000 extra PS3’s sold for it’s release from the prior week’s totals.

That is $5,100,000 extra because of Heavy Rain in just 4 days.

FangBlade5917d ago

wow you sound really pissed.
why so serious?

cyborg69715917d ago

Our standards are high but you wouldn't know about that because you accept a failure rate that is staggering, a dry desert of games, and 50.00 a year for no dedicated servers for first party games nice.

blitz06235917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

Sony better start producing more PS3's. They don't want to feel the wrath of Kratos.

@N4PS3G
Heavy Rain isn't a game for everyone but it still sold 17,000 PS3s before it came out which is really good. To you, that may be a low standard. What? you expect it to move 500k PS3s before it comes out? Be more realistic you troll. Don't compare everything to your precious 360.

@N4PS3G

Pal, you don't get how The PS3 Community Work, PS3 Owners Go for Variety, they don't have 1 Game from a Specific Genre that make them go nuts, well yeah GT Series, that's the REAL CONSOLE SELLER and is not Out Yet, when Gran Turismo 5 Come Out, Heavy Rain Console/software numbers will be a HUGE laugh

Gran Turismo Games = HUGE CONSOLE SELLERS, By Far...

Gaming FTW!!!

I dont get it, no games coming out now for the ps3 will be BIG system sellers. Anyone who wanted a ps3 would have bought one when MGS4 came out and if you didnt like MGS4, you would have surely got a ps3 when the price cut happened with uncharted 2, you cant really say "ps3 has no games and i was waiting for gow3 to buy a ps3" thats just stupid. GOW3 isnt a game for casual gamers, its not going to expand the market. Dont think GOW3 will sell crazy amount of systems cause its not going to happen. 360 fans will eat you alive. Personally i dont care about sales, in just a few more days, EPIC will happen on my ps3 i cant wait!
PS3 -> Where CHAOS HAPPENS!

jakethemuss5917d ago

after MS banned 1 million consoles, of which 90% probally went and brought another, thus your guys standards must also be low.

Pennywise5917d ago

Is there a method to which account you comment with? Just curious.

I know part of the method is to always be first to comment when there is something about the PS3, unless it makes the 360 look horrible... then you avoid commenting at all. But I am curious to find out which of the accounts gets the privileged of making derogatory remarks towards PS3 owners...

We understand that you must love your Wii, and of course it sells plenty, but PS3 was second.

Congrats to Heavy Rain for selling PS3s. I see that this news has hurt the feelings of the other side.

dustgavin5917d ago

You are exactly right. You can just feel the hurt from some 360 owners.

kaveti66165917d ago

The other side? So you admit that you yourself are on a particular side?

TehSuperCell5917d ago

It has no online, people will switch back to MW2 after playing this.
No online=GTFO.

Hudahudahuda5917d ago

Most worthwhile games made in the last 10 years did not have online multiplayer.

TehSuperCell5917d ago

And the best games in the last 10 years didnt have atari graphics.
Its time to move forward, enough of these 1 player games with no online, its just not fun.

dustgavin5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

"And the best games in the last 10 years didnt have atari graphics."
I know Uncharted 2 is amazing but there is no need to bash Halo: ODST.

"Its time to move forward, enough of these 1 player games with no online, its just not fun."
So I take it you won't be buying Mass Effect 2 or Alan Wake?

n4gn4gn4gn4g5917d ago

enjoy the story...not to listen to sugared up pre-pubescent a holes screaming about chocolate milk.

Give me a solid single player game EVERY time.

TehSuperCell5917d ago

Halo ODST atari graphics? Stop trolling.
I bought ME2 it lasted me like a week. gtfo single player games.

GiantEnemyCrab5917d ago

Give me SP over MP any day of the week!

Anyway, I think anyone who is a big GoW fan already has a PS3.

pxpxp5917d ago

Ocarina of time- No online
MGS 1,2,3 - No online
GOW 1&2 - No online
Shadow of the Colossus - No online
Okami - No online
Uncharted 1 - no online (UC2 got GOTY but not because of its multiplayer)

Some of the best games in history didn't rely on online components, but it is immature people like you that want to spend their gaming time trash talking, playing mindless shooters that lack story and creativity. As for me i dont lurk around the internet wasting my free time on forums full of people i dont know. I rarely comment but your ignorance just astounds me.

Seraphemz5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

Amen man... i prefer and awesome SP game rather than one that hashes up a SP to add MP...

SuperCell : you might want to practice what you preach.

Also, Xbox was pretty big with online. And SOCOM was HUGE online. "last gen"

Im not saying that MP is bad, but its not the be all and end all of a game.

TehSuperCell5917d ago

pxpxp thanks for prooving my point. the last gen games were awsome and had no online because online was something new and not worldwide known to the consolefags. this gen online rules all.
oh btw uncharted doesnt count it is a winback/kill.switch ripoff and so is uncharted 2.
be a gamer not a hater.

n4gn4gn4gn4g5917d ago

and yet another to add to my ignore list. YOU are EXACTLY the type of ignoramus that I avoid be playing SP games.

damnightmare5917d ago

Ahahaha

Are you joking?

Go back to Modern GlitchFare 2

nevimkdojsem25917d ago

I have put 400+ hours into Warhawk but that and U2 were the only MP games I enjoyed this gen. I much prefer SP games (Persona 4, Ico, R&C series, Uncharted, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Portal, HL2). If anything games should support more offline co-op/versus mod - I loved playing LBP with my girlfriend or competing with her in Critter crunch, SF4 and FIFA (+looking forward to ModNation Racers).

RumbleFish5917d ago

I would rather play 100 hours of Heavy Rain than one hour of MW2's MP.
True is: there are good MPs out there but few are worth playing. It's the same with story driven games, but both sorts of games have their place.
I could never say that I prefer a online game over a single player campaign or the other way round.
Why should I? I would miss on some of the greatest games.

Please stop comparing video games to movies

"Many video games catch not only great commercial attention but remarkable critical attention as well. We have seen games like Heavy Rain, The Last of Us Part II, and even entries in the Metal Gear series described as fantastic interactive experiences, even heralded in the same way as Hollywood's greatest films.

I would suggest that not only is this an unfair comparison but also a harmful one. Video games, by their very nature, are an intricately different medium and should be weighed against one another rather than another form of media," Phillip writes for GF365.

Yes, please stop. They're better than most hollywood drivel nowadays.

BLAKHOODe2008d ago

I think Hollywood films will becoming increasingly more like video games in the future, especially as the world embraces the "new normal" from the pandemic. It makes sense, as games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcase just how realistically we're reaching in graphical capabilities, as well as showcase extreme action sequences in spectacular ways. And as time goes by, it'll get easier and cheaper to produce such "art", as well as create new star "actors" that never age, never die, never complain, never gets involved in scandals, etc. Technology is amazing and we're only just getting a taste of what it'll eventually be.

sourOG2008d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman2008d ago (Edited 2008d ago )

No. For the money spent, a quality game provides far more entertainment value than a quality movie. Especially when looking at what is going on in the world, and how a studio can attempt to pilfer from consumers by charging 30 dollars for Mulan via streaming. Ridiculous. There is no comparison....games all day.
