| Squilliam said: I think those games are excellent, and im looking forward to every single one of them and I will buy every single one of them. Theres still the thought in my mind that whilst they will be great for the current userbase, im not sure about the concept of system seller games anymore. The multiplats are getting better and better so theres greater competition and many of the people who would jump to a console when a game comes out have already jumped. Apex games will sell consoles, So GT5 is one and FF is another and Halo is still another but FF has gone multi-plat was a big cost for them. With regards to KZ2 I think it could be brilliant, but it needs to really be an Apex (Gears of War/Halo) sized release to really move the masses in the Playstations direction. There have already been 3 huge shooter releases this generation with two being exclusive to the 360 so much of this potential userbase has been moved and Sony doesn't want people who who have their attention more on another system. They need to make their losses back and people with multiple systems buy their games on their main system first. God of War is too hardcore so most people who haven't got a PS3 that like the game will have one already or will get one this Christmas knowing its coming out early next year. Uncharted 2 is a sequel so I doubt it'll move consoles unless its brilliant compared to the previous version. Heavy Rain and Infamous are both new I.Ps but of the two the only one with a potential to really make it big is Infamous. Theres always potential for another big GTA type release and superheroes are in vogue right now. |
Another great piece of analysis by Squillaim!
