Do you live in this world?
GTA IS the most wanted game on PS3, MGS 4 won't do even close to GTA 4, a LOT of people were waiting for this game, PS2 owners who are 'loyal' to de Playstation brand. The difference is not THAT big, software sales were better 1M for the MS console.
So what? You sould open your eyes. Even if PS3 moved more units, this is good for MS. Last gen, MS had no chance with GTA games releasing only 1 year after the Sony version.
MS is mak...
PS3 is outselling 360 in Europe every month of 2008, but the difference isn't THAT big. 360 is doing very good in UK but very bad in other europe.
I don't think GTA 4 and MGS 4 will THAT much for PS3 sales, why? Because people buy PS3 because of the brand, not because of the games, so I believe PS3 will outsell 360 in Europe in the months to come, and the difference will get higher and higher.
And Sony won't cut the price. Why? Because they know people won't turn to 360....
I don't think NG2 will push 360 sales, so I said the only system seller on 360 this year is Gears of War 2 and only if it is really that good.
God of War 3 IS NOT a system seller, GOW games did very good on PS3, but what is the ratio of the sales? 5% of PS2 owners bought the game?
System sellers are games that make people buy a console, and the ONLY country where System Sellers really EXIST is JAPAN. People in USA and Europe buy a console because of their game li...
Where's 360:
Tales of Vesperia
Infinite Undicovery
Cry On(Mistwalker)
Forza 3
PGR5
Dead or Alive 5
Dead or Alive Code : Chronus
And why is God of War 3 a System Seller and Ninja Gaiden 2 isn't?
Why Resistance 2 is a System Seller and Halo games aren't?
PS3 has 3 SYSTEM SELLERS : Final Fantasy XIII, MGS4, GT5
X360 has 1 SYSTEM SELLER : Gears of War 2
Now, if PS3 sales will be...
Just please stop nonesense FANBOY comments.
1 - This video is made by a Sony Fanboy, is almost shows nothing of Gotham 4, just Forza 2 VS GT5P.
2 - This is just GRAPHICS, so lets focus on that.
3 - It's common sense that GT5P should look better, PG4 next and F2 next.
4 - This should be a HD movie, running on a GOOD HDTV.
So, my opinion :
1 - Forza 2 is by far the worse nice looking game.
2 - GT5P and P...
I don't think the reason is the Servers, I think it's about the games you have on the system, right now, COD 4 is by far the better game on PS3, 360 currently gives people more choice.
Another important thing is FREE online on PS3, Sony did it right, the only 'problem' is that in some years from now you wont be able to play old PS3 games online. But I would choose FREE Online anytime.
COD 4 is doing pretty well, Halo 3 is a GREAT game, but people are tired of it, mainly because the leap from Halo 2 isn't that BIG. That was the feeling I had with Halo 3, just Halo 2 with new maps and a phew better things.
X360 - 5.34
PS3 - 2.73
If 1.3 M gamers are playing daily on 360, PS3 ones can't be THAT much more.
I would like to see UT3 numbers, COD4 kicked it's ass on PS3.
Now, I'm looking forward to see how KZ2 and R...
This game will come to 360.
Why?
It's NOT Square-Enix that's making the game, they'll only put the name on it because they have the rights of the franchise.
Infinite Undiscovery, The last remnant and FF XIV(XI-II)?? will be launched on 360 also.
This is NOT MS paying for it, it's common sense and business, almost 20M units sold it's hard to ignore, and these games are not even close to FF franshise.
So, the truth is that SONY ...
Just look at the games..
PS3 has Blu-Ray and Hard-Drive but I don't see any game on that system that couldn't run on 360. Some games require Hard Drive, but so did some games on PS2 and I didn't see anyone complaining.
I will give you reason when a 3rd party game launches on PS3 and the company and specialists say that 360 can't run it.
And don't come with MGS4 or FFXIII because Ubisoft says that PS3 isn't good for Splinter Cell 5.
The 360 a...
We are in 2008, we'll have GREAT games comming this year, ther's no chance of MS releasing a new console before 2010/2011.
There is one BIG thing that guides console develpment/launch, PC gamming. New consoles will only launch when current ones stop being able to run the BIG games that launch on PC.
PS2 is a console that is lasting too long and that was hurting PS3 sales too.
PS2 coundn't run Half Life 2, Doom 3 and so many other games, but they had a huge user b...
Do you live in this world?
The Xbox 360 is one of the best designed consoles of all time. The only problem was thar Ring os Death problem, I bought one at launch day and I had no problem with it.
But your statment is stupid. Every developer praises the 360 architecture, the MS developer tools, etc. MS did the homework this time.
You're right about that, that's why there is so much noise about MGS, Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy.
We don't see these games comming every year. Developers have a LOT of time to make them almost perfect. But in the other hand we have good/great games that come almost every year that have not the same mystik but do pretty well. Games like Splinter Cell that saw 4 games past-gen.
The question is : Will this game raise the bar? And raising the bar is NOT what Gear...
So, why all the talk about this speach?
We all know that there's no game that is 100% complete, 100% like what developers wanted it to be.
For that to be possible, technology had to take no improvement, so that there would be a TOP level for graphics, AI, etc..
I believe MGS4 will be one of the best games to date but Kojima is putting this game on a level that is probably won't deserve.
THE SAME MS did with Halo 3.
And another thing here that...
This is stupid, if MGS will never come to 360 it's NOT because of the game size.
In my opinion, MGS 4 will come to 360. The game cost a lot o money, and there are so many people out there waiting for the game? And if the game doesn't get a near Perfect score? And there allways Micro $$$.
My point here is that people are making a lot of noise on this game, not as much as they did will Halo 3 but certainly, the most hyped game on PS3. I think if it wasn't because of all th...
Till LAST week.
X360 - Around 630K Without Japan
PS3 - Around 731K
Ok, PS3 version sold more units, but I don't believe 360 will do better than this on Japan.
lodossrage - Just like I said, you'll never know if the ratio would be the same os not. Very probably NOT.
Just try to imagine DMC4 launching on a PS3 with Bioshock, Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Orange Box, etc..
Or better. Tell me, MGS4, Killzone 2 or FF XIII ra...
So it would never be fair to compare a game on two consoles.
You will never know if DMC4 would sell better on PS3 if there were 18M outthere.
I believe it's all about the game library.
I have a 360 and I didn't buy the game because I have better games to play. The same would be if I had a PS3.
But look at the PS3 games and 360 games, now, the 360 has more games and DMC4 isn't a AAA title.
You look at the past, DMC 4 is now a b...
'MS should be worried about' ?????
What I see here is DMC 4 selling better on 360. Who cares about how many 360s were sold until now?
PS2 has 120M consoles worldwide, should a GOOD game sell 120M on that console?
If PS3 had the same number of consoles sold, would the scenario be different? Probably, but the ratio to hardware sales would certainly be lower than it is now.
What it's important here is that we're seeing a game that was P...
Blue Dragon sold around 1/2 Million. It's bad. But not that bad. It's a good game, but only for people who like RPG's.
The same for Final Fantasy. Look at FF 12 sales, and look at PS2 console sales. 1% of PS2 owners bought the game?
Lost Odyssey is a good game, not as BIG as Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy has a lot of 'MAGIC'.
But look, FF is a strong brand, the same as MGS4. When a new title in the series launch it has to be really GOOD.
...
Why? What I saw in the past was Xbox born in a PS2's full world. PS2 had a number of games that put Xbox on the floor.
PS2 was the best console of all time. Now, things are different. Now I can say the 360 has a way better lineup. And most important, good games are comming up.
One thing is fighting a 100 Million install base. It would take an huge number of GREAT exclusives to make PS2 owners buying a Xbox.
Another thing if securing an 8 Million advantage.
SEGA produces too many games, the most part are crap games like Sega Superstar Tennis. They need to make million sellers like Capcom or EA.
I don't see thay doing that with no money and I don't see a DC2 comming.
For MS it would be the last chance to sell consoles on Japan, not 360 but a next console branded Sega-Microsoft would make things a lot different.
