It sounds like Microsoft has some advertising/marketing that will take place for the game. After what they did with Gears and Halo, I won't be surprised if you see a huge push and association with the 360 brand for GTA4...It's going to be real interesting.
The most interesting of this chart is the fact that 39,000 plus units have been sold in Japan alone. That is where the difference is. So I would subtract 44,000 from that. Then you will see the gap in territories such as Europe to be paltry for the week. Microsoft is paying attention to that very closely. I think 2008 is the year Microsoft gains, and owns Europe. Starting with GTA4...
In order for any/or most of the comments being made for the PS3 growth to make sense. Then we would have to naturally see a decline in Xbox 360 sales. Evidence of that happening is non-existent. In fact recent #'s are showing the 360 pick up in European territories. If 2007 did anything it showed where Microsoft needs to do more work in Europe. Many of the games that released have started to make an impact. As for Japan Microsoft has never been recieved well there. With a diverse mix of conte...
You know what's funny on innerbits.com there is a great article on the memmory constraints that Sony imposes. Technically speaking it takes alot to do what the 360 does without a blink. There is also an article about how 360 development is set to take huge leaps and bounds. Not on the same site, I'll find and submit...Don't think for a second that development on the 360 will be less than stellar as the years go on. Many of the early titles along with games from last year were using only one c...
Notice how the haters just can't take the truth. RROD is an earlier configuration of the system...The Falcon is out, which has reduced all that jazz. So please use a new excuse for why the PS3 online presence is lackluster to live...Thank you haters
Besides by the time you reach the 5 hour mark of waiting to install GTA4 on the PS3 you could see how much more the 360 version sold...Get a sandwhich, talk to your girl, pay some bills, laugh at the PS3, load some custom soundtracks, etc. Basicly have more fun...
Yeah, PS3 fans said the same thing about Bioshock. Lair was supposed to be better. We already know how that one went down. I'm just glad we don't have to hear the nonsense of not having big games for 2008. Because there was never a doubt that this year was going to be like last. In fact what 360 buyer would have time to look in the PS3s direction? Multiplatform games are already proven to be better on the 360. It's a beautiful list...let the other side hate and pray for the downfall...Marks
Actually Sony is last...There not even close to second place. Games they are light years behind. Sales, quality, proof that it's powerful, over priced, and just for movies. After seeing OXM's 50 360 games to play this year. Shane Kim has alot to be happy about, and you think about some other unnanoucenced goodies. The other system has to fight harder this year than last. I know folks who are getting their 360's now that GTA4 is a month away. Has Live converted anyone you guys know on the fenc...
Wow as a 360 owner I don't think I'd be getting MGS4 or a PS3 till next year. I mean look at the line-up and some games are not on the list. Besides if you are like me, you're still playing games you didn't get to open from a couple of months ago. So this year is just going to be the same. I see that list and you clearly see something for everyone. This isn't a knock on the PS3, there just is no rush to get it. With the way multiplatform games are going the 360 is just going to continue doing...
How can a console be in last place with the worst attach rate, have GTA4 sell more on it's system is beyond me. Add to the fact that you get extra content, and I don't care what you say if the game is good, people are going to want more. You can try and downplay the 360 games, but they have been, and will continue to be better than what the PS3 offers. That's why its last. You can take that money and buy a controller with rumble when it comes out...
I think it's funny that you'll have two Gears game in the same amount of time you get one MGS4 game, and it'll look better. Just bring the game out, Cliffy knows what it needs.
Uncharted is not the best looking console game at all...Show me proof. I want articles, I want reviews, I want scores...Stop with the damn lies. The game runs in 720p and short. Decent at best is that game...yeah count 18mill as delusional.
This game was a sleeper hit, and if they have any goodness too add this time around. You can bet your bottom dollar will be a great companion to GTA4. Million seller? I'ma have to say yes. Let's see if we get Crackdown 2.
I feel that for Sony, especially being in 3rd. What do they have for the casual market? PSP hasn't brought them home, and I don't know too many titles upcoming that work that area of interest. Then Sony still has to establish that thier system is worth the price of admission. It seems all hope relies on previous generation rehash. In fact it may not be anywhere near the Wii, but Xbox live Arcade has done very well in the casual arena. I'm still pondering what Sony's offers have been.
The folks saying that the Xbox 360 peaked, must be new comers to the gaming industry. You name me a system that has sold the amount of games, and systems the 360 has in it's third year, just dissapear and peak? That has never happened. History is a great teacher, and seeing as how there are still people purchasing systems and games from last year. Microsoft would do well to continue its course, allow what is out there to keep getting in the hands of new gamers. I for a fact know of five peopl...
Bladestar thanks for the links. Those are all resource sites for developers, and having that information out there really separates fact from fiction. Everyone knows it's hard to develop for the PS3, but unfortunately you have a peanut gallery that refuses to accept that. Blaming everything/everyone else except the company that created the machine. This is not to say that the PS3 is bad, but the hype and pomp that it was given technically comes with a price. We are seeing that price being pla...
