| Tremble said: Yeah but you cannot compare GoW2 with R2 in terms of sales. they're not playing in the same league. Only a few games can compete with it, I'm thinking about final fantasy, gran turismo and GTA. But talking about the price again, it really is a barrier. When friends come home playing ps3, I ask them if they plan to get one soon and the answer is the same: "I want one, but 400€ is way to expensive, I'm waiting for a 100-150€ price drop". A similar price drop will have more effect than all the resistance, killzone little big planet or whatever. |
You're right, talking about hardware, Sony price dropping hardware would increase userbase and hardware sales.
....however, comparing software between the PS3 and 360 is nearly a fair comparison.
These games were supposed to be their big holiday games, for each console. Each game hyped to hell, each game part 2 of a successful franchise.
I don't understand why you wouldn't compare these games, saleswise. They are, for all intents and purposes, the direct competitors for largest exclusive, hyped, console games this holiday season, 360 vs PS3. I can't really see an advantage Gears 2 had, besides review scores and userbase, both of which aren't huge differences, or at least aren't huge enough to account for the sales gap.
Why did Gears 2 dominate?
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
