Yeah, first the PS3 was going to kill during the launch. That never happened. Then it was going to kill once supply wasn't an issue. That never happened. Then it was going to kill when Motorstorm came out. That never happened. Then it was going to kill when Oblivion came out. That never happened. Then it was going to kill when Virtua Fighter 5 came out. That never happened. Then it was going to kill when there was a price drop. That never happened. Then it was going to kill when Ninja Gaiden Sigma came out. That never happened.

Do you see a pattern?



No pattern but i see lots of bs.

Since day one every one knew its Final Fantasy GranTurismo Gran theft Auto MetalGearSolid that will do the killing sure as shiet not VF5 or NGS.

Motorstor held off a 50k unit drop for about a month, not bad for a new ip.

 



You're right, games like Motorstorm did well and people do say games like FFXIII, GTAIV, and MGS4 will save the console. What I'm saying is that people keep saying the same exact thing about every game that has any kind of following.

Did you just ignore the people that kept saying all those things? Every time there's a large PS3 coming, it's always wait for x game...the storm is coming! The game sales decently and PS3 sales spike for a few weeks and then things go back to normal.

Finally, look at the Gamecube. Why didn't Metroid Prime 1 and 2 sell more consoles? Why didn't Super Mario Sunshine sell more consoles? Why didn't Eternal Darkness sell more consoles? Why didn't Super Smash Bros. Brawl sell more consoles? Why didn't Resident Evil 4 sell more consoles? You can ask the same exact thing about any of the pretty decent sized library of incredibly Gamecube games.
