I agree with what you're saying. And I've played all of them. I just think that this is such an integral game to both Konami and Sony that they should be doing their damnedest to impress people and expand the franchise to others besides those who have played the game before. This needs to be marketed as aggressively as Halo 3.
Payton and Kojima are beyond retarded. The want to sell a million on the first day but don't want to release a demo? It's like they're saying "We're not gonna do anything to help our sales, we're just gonna put it out there so we have an excuse to put it on 360 if it doesn't sell well." If you want to sell a game, build up the desire and momentum for consumers to WANT it.
Who cares? I get to play MGS4, Resistance 2, and WKS THIS year lol. (Hopefully the new Banjo too).
You guys have me cracking up lol.
GameCube launched in 2001 for $199.99...not $599/$499. I'm pretty sure that may have been a reason why it sold more. I'm also pretty sure that if the PS3 had launched at $199.99 as well....well you know lol.
Edit - You win lol.
Yeah it sucks that UT3, Ratchet, and Uncharted didn't do too well, but I don't blame people for not buying the Orange Box on PS3. Do you? It seems like almost everyone with influence was calling it a buggy port.
Be as happy as you want to be dude, but quit spamming up these comments with the same crap over and over again.
Guess not. This got approved while I was reducing the caps, and spacing out the sales numbers (which are still showing up close together). I tried to just leave up the HW numbers but it was too late. Oh well, it's slightly more readable than what's posted on NeoGAF.
I figured that there'd be a console port of it since it sold "just okay". I'm surprised that it may not come to 360, though. I wonder what those "technical reasons" might be...
Geometry Wars, Outpost Kaloki X, and UMK3.
As long as it isn't Yaris 2, I'll be happy.
Everyone knows that 360 will outsell PS3 in America. While the US is a great place to be winning over, you can't dismiss worldwide estimates either dude.
Same here, dude. I wish people would let Lair go.
If you like Sony, you'll see problems with the 360 version and vice versa. I don't think one can claim a version being superior by judging the most irrelevant things here. Even if one version is slightly better, no one really gives a dam* but those with an agenda. I mean, I can't imagine telling someone "you need to get this version because the water is slightly better". As long as no version has severe, Orange Box-ish frame problems, everyone should be happy. One usually wouldn't t...
Yeah right, if Mass Effect didn't even sell 500k in a little more than a week, I doubt this would. The 360 is already oversaturated with awesome AAA fps games. 69k a week is okay for PS3, I'm guessing it's gonna have a better debut than Uncharted (guessing > 200k) for December.
Get off his case, man. He actually made some pretty insightful points without trolling. Instead of calling 360 guys idiots who actually make decent comments, why don't you spend your energy battling the likes of Probotector. If you hadn't noticed, he's typing "Bomba" out the wazoo.
LOL! Didn't you say the exact same thing before? Did you just copy and paste it all over again?
Totally agree. Maybe if they had more people like you working at Sony, they wouldn't be in last place every month. It's kind of funny though, everything that you mentioned is common sense, and I don't understand why they didn't think of it.
A post from blogspot? The free blogspot? What's next, an article posted from Xanga or Livejournal lol?
