So called 'PS2 upgrader' - SOCOM: Confrontation. Not a massive seller like Gears or MGS4, but a VERY loyal fanbase. People are still playing SOCOM online on their PS2's. A lot of people will 'upgrade' to PS3 when SOCOM PS3 comes out.

Tekken 6 is also a 'PS2 upgrader', but it isn't such a big deal.

The 360 has nothing compared to last year. Halo 3 came out and still the 360 couldn't outsell the PS3 that holiday season worldwide. All the PS3 had last year was Uncharted, a new IP, and Ratchet and Clank.

LittleBigPlanet is the biggest game this holiday season in terms of 'upgrading' PS2 owners. Just watch it happen

I have to comment on your PS3/360 holiday comparison. The PS3 had just gotten a 200 € price cut in Europe which heavily affected sales. Nothing of that sort will happen this year for either platform.

 

 

True. But it was a massive surprise for 99% of VGCHARTZERS to see the PS3 sell as much as the 360 last holiday season. Remember your bet with Just_Ben . People were predicting 6 - 7M sales for the PS3 at the end of 2007. It actually was closer to 9M.  

Edit: Didn't we have a bet? I thought it was in your sig, but you have changed it. I have completely forgotten what it was... or am I thinking of the wrong person?
