HappySqurriel said: Very (VERY) few hype articles make me care about a game at all because 90% of games that have hype articles are crap ... I'll wait for it to be near enough to release to get reviewed in order to determine whether I want it or not.
just when insomaniacs has hyped any game, or get misstrust?
HappySqurriel said: A lot of people bought Gears of War but if you look at the sales objectively you'll notice that the XBox 360 did not really go to any amazing new level after the release of the game; the sales are respectable in North America and Europe but are not amazing. I have argued since the XBox 360's release that $400 was too much for most people to pay and I believe that this is what is keeping the XBo 360 from selling more.
that`s just because xbox360 sux by it`self, like first xbox sucked. people don`t trust M$, don`t want pay to play online(for ps3 it`s free like and pc). people were sure, that gears of war soon will be released on PC, like many xbox360 games. to buy a console there must be atlest 5-10 AAA exclusive titles for many people. and PS3 will have them this autumn.
HappySqurriel said: Now, if you look at the 12 month period between May 2002 and April 2003 you will notice that it is the biggest 12 months for the PS2 largely because it was the first full year where the PS2 was under $200 ...
of`course price drop will boost sales, but till ps3 is doing fine, they will not drop price. p.s. do you understand, that only with few really good games on ps3 they already sold 2 mln. for 600$, and this is without eurolunch, without HOME and LTB?
