| rocketpig said: Oh, and if we're to use E3 as a measuring stick of PS3 vs. 360... Here are the award-winners that release before 2008: 360 games: -Halo 3 -Mass Effect -Bioshock -Virtua Fighter 5 (meh, already on PS3 but oh well) PS3 games: um... ah... er... well, there aren't any. Multi-plats: -Rock Band -CoD4 -Assassin's Creed -Burnout Paradise While Uncharted and Heavenly Sword look good, what kind of numbers do you PS3 fans really expect them to put up? Despite being the end-all, be-all of gaming, the God of War series has not sold spectacularly and Heavenly Sword is in the same vein as the GoW series. GoWII sold about the same as KOTOR, the only difference being that the PS2 had a userbase the size of a European powerhouse while the Xbox had a userbase the size of a starving African nation amidst civil war. Uncharted could be a sleeper but until more is known about it, I won't have much of an opinion on how it will sell. I don't expect R&C to do much. It might be a good game but I don't see it selling that well. Haze is another question mark. Mass Effect will be this year's Oblivion and then some (due to the larger userbase and no PC version). It will be the Western RPG of the year, without a doubt. Bioware has proven they are in the elite RPG class with Bethesda. Bioshock keeps winning award after award. As its release nears, there is some serious hype building for this game. I think it could do 2m copies when all is said and done. Considering how it keeps mopping the floor with awards given by the people who have actually played the game, it should turn out just as good as it looks. Overall, I just don't see how the PS3 is going to beat the 360 this holiday season. The 360 has more games, more award-winning games, a cheaper price, and a better library. |
Cheeper yet still getting out sold ww by a consol in a software drought, yahh. 360 also has the ohh so popular Red Ring, gamers just love it.
Okami and Shadow of colossus won award after award, alot of good it did them. If your going by hype Heavenly Uncharted Ratchet are as hyped as Bioshock or Mass Effect.
Overall i dont see how 360 can win this holiday with it beiong a failure in any markets while barly out selling the PS3 in plenty others. Even with its much cheeper price and bigger line up already available (Gears Forza Trusty Blue Dragon) the 360 is getting out sold in
UK
France
Spain
Italy
^ that is 210 million pop, all major most wealthy Euro markets exept Germany.
Theres also Japan but every one knows the 360 is a failure there.
And now its getting out sold in the USA where the PS3 is still $200 more expensive then the cheepest 360 and still in a software drought.
So Double the price of the Core in some markets and doing it on the shoulders of Resistance and Motorstorm PS3 is out selling the 360!
