HappySqurriel said: Realistically, how many people do you think are willing to spend $400 for 1 game (when you include the console, game, and tax)? If you wanted other games that have already been released for the PS3 or XBox 360 as well as Grand Theft Auto 4 you probably already bought the system. As I've said before, there are no "System Sellers" in the way that most fanboys think there are system sellers ... |
Of course, but any one potential kille-ap could be a straw that breaks the camel's back sort of game. Despite wanting to play Twilight Princess for months, it and Wii Sports wasn't neough to make me shell out the dough for a console. Then Metroid Prime 3 came out, and I decided that was enough for me at that time (I also picked up RE:4 Wii edition).
GTAIV should theoretically be that sort of game--the type where you go "ok, this is too much for me to hold out," at least it sohuld of been for the PS3 with it's relative dearth of great games. I agree though that if you haven't already gotten a 360 with the number of great games for it out already and with a relatively similar user base for those games and GTA, GTAIV wasn't going to make you buy a system.
