GTA5 exclusivity will be a system seller. ME3 exclusivity is a system seller. The problem is that sony never really had a huge system seller in the U.S. They had a huge system seller for europe and a huge system seller for japan. But sony needs that one super amazing title like GTA5 to sell PS3s in the U.S.  FF13 could have been a huge system seller if it stayed exclusive thats why i think versus 13 will be a system seller unless ff13 just left a bad taste in people's mouth.


Since when is it exclusive? Or have you not seen the PS3 version of ME2? (Also PS3 ME2 uses the ME3 engine so it basically confirms ME3 will be PS3)

One thing should be noted, the $100 Walmart gift cards when MGS4 came out.

Anyway the fact remains that Sony was not lucky enough and they didn't get the right features at the right times into their games for them to make big impacts. They were not some combination of unique enough, compelling enough or broad enough in potential audience for the most part. Therefore no matter what you say of the quality of their exclusives, the exclusives and timed exclusives of both Nintendo especially and Microsoft have had a bigger impact. This is why it appears they don't have many system sellers.


I know. They started June 1st and thats when i got mine.  Such an awesome deal

look at that dancing game that sells tons on nintendo >_>


and that one on the kinect systems that is selling well as well.

Dancing is a genre now, its a rather successful genre, and Just Dance (at least the first one) is fun, Dance Central is fun. 

Halo is a good game for a hell of a lot of people, so might I have to listen to the majority in that fact, just to make the decisions even, I like Halo :-O

i think its a load of BS. people dont buy a system for just 1 game (no matter how much they like to deny it).


I have a friend who purchased a 360 for Halo Reach. It is the only 360 game he owns and the only 360 game he plays. He purchased it because he played it at my house, became addicted, and wanted to play on his own time. So yes, some folks do indeed purchase a system for just 1 game. Will it turn into more games? Sure it will. But the fact is still the same; had he not become addicted to Halo Reach, he would not own a 360. I am quite positive the same happens all the time for the large amount of good ps3 titles out there (or even just for the blu ray?).

I have a PS3 and an Xbox 360. I haven't played either in months. No games really interest me, its just boring crap which costs heaps.I play www.leagueoflegends.com

I am guessing it cost more in other countries to play games it is a shame. It's to bad no games interest you because many of us feel 2011 is bringing more games than we can afford or have time to play. I am happy to be amongst this group.

Its all just more of the same to me. I can afford it, I just don't see the benefit. I still play the games I have so why buy new ones when they just offer more of what I already own?

@CGI: It is pretty asinine to assume that I was talking about other makers or that they were even relevant when all you had to do was read the bolded I was replying to. The point was not about the quality of Sony software but the fact that noone has a right to make sweeping judgements about taste.



Tease.

Well we have the right/freedom to make sweeping judgements, but it does not make it right.
