'Legacy of Kain' would definitely benefit from a reboot.
But its sales number count in the companies' financial statements.
Shhh... reasonable comments might distort skewed perspectives, where the Move and everything Sony related is an abysmal failure. ;D
@State of Matter: No one side is worse than the other - or did you not see the infantile displays from 360 fans in the GT5 stories?
@Skadoosh: Why the generalizations? Just because you may not see many people near the Move demo at a Best Buy doesn't mean "Nobody cares about Move."
I love how the 'shipped vs. sold' argument is trotted out constantly, as if that makes a difference to the company.
If Sony shipped 4.5 million Moves, that means they sold those units to retailers, who bought those units in response to customer demand. Retail space is premium, especially at this time of the shopping year. Retailers wouldn't purchase product they didn't think would sell. No matter what some fans might wish to believe, Move has been successful...
For companies, sales matter most. But for us, as gamers, the exclusives - and the other titles - should be what matters most.
We cannot play sales, after all.
And Sony always provides PS3 owners with quality first-party exclusives, coupled with strong third-party support. So every year is a 'year of the PS3.'
I guess it depends on where you were. I never saw "console wars" between Atari, Colecovision, and Intellivision back when they were the 'current gen.' ;-D
It's hilarious how seriously some people take console & game sales now. The console warriors emotional attachment to the hobby is great comedy.
It doesn't matter what "Halo: Reach" averaged in terms of reviews. Millions of people really enjoy it and play it regularly.
Plenty of games I've really enjoyed score middling reviews, whilst some supposedly "perfect" 10 games are very dreary to me.
Gamers should be able to make up their own opinions and not rely on sales figures or review averages to determine what's great for them.
Best not to build up the hype too much in advance, lads.
My favourite games often have average to above-average review scores and also have relatively low sales figures, but, like you, I don't care. My gaming life is based around the games I like, not about review scores or sales figures. As long as I enjoy the game, and my copy works, that's all that matters to me.
It is funny how fanboys tailor their arguments to suit their needs.
If it is, I won't be playing it. I'd play "WoW" if I wanted to play a fantasy MMO. Co-op would be fine, but I prefer strong single-player games.
And the hype begins, sadly. Hopefully, it won't get out of control like it did for "GT5."
Perfect.
There's no way I'll be able to keep up with all the releases next year. 2011 is going to be great for PS3 owners.
Fantastic news! I'm glad it's being released on PC/360/PS3 simultaneously. Waiting to play 'Oblivion' on PS3 was tough. :D
All the consoles have a large enough install base now to ensure solid third-party support, so sales numbers at this point merely serve as fodder for the "console warriors."
Considering the global financial mess, it's great to see the games industry doing so well. As a gamer, the overall picture of the industry is most important.
I hear MS pays its cheerleaders better.
LMAO, poor Xbox side, so desperate to win the console "war," which Nintendo has already won.
MS announces shipped numbers, too, by the way, as does Nintendo. Only the retail data collection services, like NPD, are in a position to announce sold-to-consumer figures, since they collect data at the retail level.
I pity you for being so excited about corporate sales figures.
Kinect....catering to the hardcore AND the softcore. ;-)
It reminds me of those 'virtual sex' sims they showed in some 80s-90s movies. It could actually prove to be profitable, if the interface was perfected. Sex sells.
