Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony To Get its Own "Gears of War" like I.P. from Epic

Funny, after the PS3 came out the 360 has only done better, I guess after everyone saw how the PS3 turned out they cut their losses and went with the 360 as a second choice. Lol, just a thought.

Oh please.

1) The difference in units sold between the PS3 and 360 is virtually the same as it was last November.

2) Of the six active consoles(hand helds included), the 360 is in 5th place, only outselling the PS3. It hasn't even managed to outsell the PSP.

3) The 360's sales(along with those of the PS3 until the price drop was announced) have actually declined month after month since the beginning of the year while sales of the DS, PSP, and Wii have risen with PS2 sales remaining virtually the same.

4) The only place it sells decently is North America. It does mediocre in Europe and flops in Japan. In the latter territory, it still can't outsell the PS3(which is selling <40K a month) despite games like Blue Dragon and Trusty Bell.

People cut their losses and went with the 360 as a second choice? What planet are you living on? It looks more like people have decided to go with the DS, PSP, Wii or stick with the PS2 until the PS3 comes down in price or gets more games.

As a PS3 owner may I just say, that I do not want  to have Gears of War or any spin off series from the game on my console. But it is nice to see Epic and Sony getting on well. UT with pc mods on my ps3. Oh yes.



Yes

Jeez, I don't know where to start. This is sem-on topic. Gballzack and Shams, TPS games and FPS games are not the same. Gear of War is not an FPS. Whether you are tired of the FPS and TPS genres or not. Wrong is wrong. If similar inaccurate claim was made regarding a Wii title, I don't think you'd be so cavalier about it Gballzack.

Windbane aligning launches for sales means nothing. Thats the same kind of nonsense that was touting for N64's U.S. sales. The PS3 isn't gaining any ground and it needs to period. Third party developers can't make money of projected sales based on aligned launches. So the whole point is moot.



You guys are all acting like a bunch of bickering children. ;>

I should find that video of two people slapping each other again. It fits so nicely.



Ok thanks for making me read this thread to the whelps that reported it. :p

Warnings to:
URNotE for posting a rumor as fact and inviting everyone in to bash it
akuma587 for bashing a nonexistant post and trolling
FishyJoe for trolling
ArtofAngels for trolling
Gballzack for trolling (1 month ban)

Have a nice day. Now someone go report a Nintendo thread with all the Sony trolls so I can go warn a bunch of them too. Maybe then everyone can at least be civil. Then again, this is an internet forum.

What, so now its not allowed to comment on a rumour?

Fine - you'll never see me in the Sony thread(s) again - be it good or bad news. Farewell!

(I must be daft, but I always thought this site a sales related site. So every announcement should be critiqued in terms of sales. And with Killzone, Haze, CoD, Resistance, HalfLife, ArmyofTwo, Unreal Tournament (etc) all hitting the PS3 soonish - another shooter won't make any difference).

 


We can only hope so.  I don't go in the Wii section of the forums because it doesn't interest me and frankly I could care less on what is being said there.

 It comes to a old saying, if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.   If all you want to do is to rip on Sony due to some hatred or fanboyism, keep it out please. I know that vgchartz would like to keep increasing it's userbase and be the site people come to first when it comes to video games and sales data, but the rampant childish behavior makes it a place that I don't enjoy being around when people like you or Gballzack start to flame and troll away.

 Ok, back on topic.  This is good for Sony, they appear to have a good relationship with Epic and it's good to see that they will continue to get good to great games made for the PS3.  In the end, it's win win for all gamers.

Just to get it right, this rumor is about an exclusive game?

If it's a "Gears of War" like game than it only adds more to the fact that the lineup for the PS3 and 360 get more and more similar every month. Most 3rd party games are already multiplatform on both consoles and Sony and Microsoft seem to try their best to make or get exclusives that are similar to the exclusives on the other HD console, how is this going to help Sony or the PS3 at all?

If both consoles offer practically the same type of games, but one console is $100-200 cheaper, which console will the average consumer choose? If Sony wants to stand a chance they better try to have more unique offerings/experiences that are only available on PS3.


 Not to beat the (yes the) dead horse, but the console with FF13 and it WILL be PS3 exclusive.
