| TheRealMafoo said: I think August will be like every month before it this year... 360 coming in last. While the 360 is the RPG console this gen, it's not what sells 360's. FPS's is what sells 360's, and the game that will move most of them, is Gears 2 in november. I don't think August means much. Honestly, I don't think anything does any more. There is enough of each console in the market to warrant games for all. This generation will not see a dominant winner. They all will win. Sadly, the more each console does well, the more hate there is on this site. It's becoming a war zone for fanboys. I hate it. |
The shooter market has already been tapped though, how much of the hardcore shooter market is left without a console after the Xbox360 and the PS3s showing last year?
They have a greater apeal to - Women, RPG games - Viva Pinata/Lips/Rock band/Banjo are all good games for this segment. Mrstickballs girlfriend is a prime example.
Children - Viva games/Banjo + RPG games are pretty decent in this segment, ok its not hot but its there.
RPG fans obviously - There are a decent number of those, perhaps not as many as FPS fans but I don't see this market as anywhere near close to being tapped out, so theres some potential here.
The question is - can they reach into the hearts and minds of these people and increase their sales organicly or are they going to be forced to be the "cheapest" console just to get people to buy it?
Tease.
