"You have to be out of your mind if you don't think Microsoft will have trouble keeping the 360 on the shelves next shopping season."
And you are completely bonkers if you think Natal can actually work in mainstream gaming.
It can't.
It cannot work with sports games and it cannot work with driving games. It cannot work with shooting games (unless it is a railshooter).
Physically speaking, people will play it for 5 - 10 minutes before users will ...
Too bad it's up to Lucas Arts to determine release.
Xmas sales will boost the game a bit as well.
Yeah why would they release a full game on PSN?
"Why top games do not sell on the ps3 is a mystery to me."
I do not get why people think the games do not sell. Name one PS3 exclusive that was expected to sell a lot, that hasn't sold at least 1 million?
Uncharted 1 and 2
Killzone 2
Little Big Planet
Infamous
have all done so, at different stages in their releases.
I loved FU and can't wait for this one.
The use of the Apprentice is a little worrying though.
"Shouldn't or wouldn't it be better to change the name to Forever Fantasy?
Forever Fantasy or even Fantasy Forever. ^.`"
the story is (i think) that the original Final Fantasy was the last game they were making before Squaresoft were going to shut down, but I think that game actually saved them.
Was that the Apprentice?
Awesome. Loved the first, can't wait for this.
"I guess ill wait ta download it. It heard Dante's Inferno was supposed to be epic. No biggie, im still hooked on the Bayonetta demo lol."
I found DI to be much better then Bayonetta (based on the demos).
Didn't the Sony guy also say there were PS3 shortages?
It's not necessarily 4 months of inventory but they would still buy it from the publisher and sell it at an inflated price to make some sort of cost on it.
If by innovative you mean DMC clone then yes it will be.
Get it from play-asia like I did. I live in Australia. It's cheaper too.
"raztad, so did they make more money from the 360 or PS3 version? If 360 version sold more initially at $60 vs PS3 version that sold more later on at $40 or less, then which is better for the publisher?"
I imagine that publishers sell the game at a set rate to a game store.
For example lets say Eidos sell Batman AA to EB Games for $30 per game.
EB Games sell it for $60 initially and then make a profit of $30 per game at the start and then later on in ...
Further proof PS3 games have long legs...
"but 360's were selling out of walmarts with that deal, imagine the lead they would have posted in November NPD if that deal was actually apart of these numbers."
Obviously since you work for Microsoft or Walmart you can actually prove this...right?
Talking about spin.

The only thing you have to be embarrassed about is your English skills.
"I didn't think it was possible for calis to get any angrier. This is not a good day for PS3 fans."
Stalking much?
And I'm not angry, for two reasons
a) Sales don't have any effect on me. I have one PS3, one 360 and no investment in any of them. I don't get money if either console sells.
b) The PS3 isn't behind the 360 so I have no issues in one or the other console ever stopping.
Now we should really focus on your stalking issues. It's ki...
"How can it be a DMC clone when it's made by the creator of DMC? "
Do you know what a clone is?
