I can smell fear around the sony fandroids.
Expecially because we know that we'll see the first pic/scans very soon.
but IMO it's clear that UTIII it's another PS3 disappointment.
And GOW2 will sell millions
Sad but true. It is going to have the same fate of the other ex-great KA for PSX/PS2.
Maybe 6 mounths after the 360 release
The truth is that PS3 wins only in the "predictions".
If we talk about real things, PS3 is struggling like the Gamecube and the first XBOX.
UTIII and Orange Box are two gigaflops.
Only COD4 and Assassin's Creed (that sold 1/3 of the XBOX360 versions) did quite well.
Uncharted, which is considered by sony fanboys one of the best game ever made, sold poorly too. I don't understand why we should think that the 2008 line-up should do better numbers.
- Haze----> Haze who? This game hasn't more appeal than Timeshift
- MGS4----> It will be a great game
- LittleBigPlanet----> A great game too
- Killzone 2-----> I don't bet a cent on this one
- Afrika----> Are you interested in this crap?
- Home----> Is it a game? I don't think so.
- FF XIII----> It will never be released during 2008 in USA.
- Gran Turismo 5 Prologue----> It is selling bad in Japan, it will do worse in U...
I've read the same thing before the launch of the PS3 (october 2006).
XBOX 360 without any great game.
Where is the nextgen graphics?
360 too weak to compete with PS3.
Then GOW was released and we know very well the story...
You can't predict anything at this point. We don't know if Fable2, Halo Wars, Ninja Gaiden 2, Too Human, Alan Wake will be worse than Bioshock or Mass Effect.
If MS can add to this line up, the new Banjo and Gears ...
...it is a logical statement.
It would be more interesting the point of view of Konami: we know very well that MGS is a game with a greater appel in the US, and by now every game for 360 sells in percentage the 50-60% more than for PS3.
MS still has to reveal his games for the 2008. I'm quite 100% sure that GOW2 will kick R2's ass.
LOL
LOL They have to be really bad for SONY.
LOL Poor SONY fandroids. At SONY they only care about the Blue_Ray...
LOL Your fantastic hardware has some of the crappiest fps ever (resistance and Haze), while the xbox360 continue to amaze.
Europe can't compensate the US sales. You'll see it with the NPD numbers.
The PS3 did not so much better than 360 with
- 2 huge price drops (there wasn't any price drop for the 360 during its first year)
- Japan, (where an american hardware will never sell well)
If we exclude the japanese market, the 360 is outselling the PS3.
It's a fact. And the situation, IMO, will not change in the future.
Another fact is that with a worse installed base, Epic/MS sold 2 millions of Gears of War in less than 2 mounths,...
The PS3 did "better" than 360 with two huge price drops.
What will happen if at MS they cut the price for the release date of GTAIV?
Only a consideration: usually this news/predictions come before the NPD data. Why?
I call them "Damage Control".
Sony Fanboys:
"Wait for the 2008!"
"Ps2+PS3 > 360! Go Sony go!"
"Resistance 2, Killzone 2, MGS4, and +20 secret exclusives"
"the USA numbers don't count, you have to add the markets of Japan, Europe, of Jupiter and Mars"
"XBOX 360 is dead"
