RockBand just effectively cut off a few hundred thousand sales. Good job Rockband. I hope Microsoft paid well.

Weren't you just saying earlier in the thread that no one is going to be playing RB2 over GH4 anyways?

I need to remember your name, so I don't accidently read one of your stupid posts again.

DMeisterJ and I don't always agree on game-related issues.  But if you imply that he is stupid again, I will bitchslap you back to Sunday.

In fact, here is a pre-emptive cyber-slap:

*SMACK-WHACK-BOOM*

Do we understand eachother kid?

Thats fine by me. I decided from the start that since MTV is involved with Rock Band, that I would never ever buy it. MTV wants a game based on the rock genre, but refuse to play any MUSIC VIDEOS that are from the rock genre. All they show are hip hop and pop videos. Screw MTV for crapping on rock music and then trying to milk it via videogames.

Sorry, MTV is one of my top hated companies, right after the guys making the atom smasher in france.

 

That's probably because the pople running BET bought MTV. (And half the time they don't even PLAY Music Videos, It's just Reality-TV)

That's why VH1 >>> MTV, IMO.

 

That's incorrect! Viacom owns MTV and then purchased BET. They also own VH1, so I'm not seeing your point. VH1 seems to have the majority of the reality shows anyway.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Uh, yeah

I was just bringing the point up again on this page.  Chill the freak out.

Edit - Thanks Starcrizzaft.

MS gained nothing.

PsWii fans who bought Rock Band will either

A. Not need to buy another game like it

B. If they do they will settle for GH:WT (who would spend so much money on a game and console that isn't unique to one system)

C. For the A people by the time its released they MIGHT upgrade then but they wont defect because of it.

PSWii fans aren't the target market stoopid silly person .

Its for people who haven't got a console yet, to "entice" them to purchase an Xbox360.

 

 

 

 Fine then RB will effectivly done that with all consoles and GH4 will help "ease" the pain of not getting RB2 on the PsWii

But to go further into that. People who do not have the console probablly wont know the difference for GH4 and RB2 so if they are in the market for PsWii then GH4 will work just fine for them

Its only significant in the United States where theres a much greater percentage of Xbox360 owners... Which precisely shows the reasoning behind the move. They want to secure the rock band target market there. Rock band is very much a "Show and tell unit mover". So for people who "want" Rock band because its the only one they've played, the Xbox360 will be the only place to get it, at least for a while.

 



Tease.

maybe they had problem with the ps3 version so instead of delaying the 360 version and lose sales to gh, they decide to relewase it
