You must have joined after Lair, Warhawk, and Heavenly Sword were all released. They were the games that would start PS3 domination and sell more than any other game released up to that point. They were the 5 million+ AAA titles that were goinjg to doom the other systems to nothingness. Given since then it has calmed down a lot but mostly because the super fanboys claiming that have left the site. Those three titles were hyped to hell and back though. I still remember people mocking the PS3 fanboys because Heavenly Sword was "only" going to make a million.

 

I find it VERY hard to believe that anybody would've hyped those games to sell over 5 million. Especially an online only title like Warhawk.  Heavenly Sword outselling God of War by 2 million?  Um...

I joined in May of 2007 and started posting regularly around July, and I don't remember any of that.  Hyped to be AAA titles?  That I remember, though the Lair hype did start to deflate closer to release much like Haze and Too Human.  Hyped to sell over 5 million?  Hell no.

I think it's a case of people remembering the most ridiculous sales predictions and then blaketing them over the entire fanbase.  Remember that guy who said that LBP would get 8 million or someting stupid like that?  I bet you that's going to be what we were all saying next year.  Everyone who wants to belittle LBP will talk about how PS3 fans said it would get 8 mil.
