| scorptile said: the gamecube did have a FF game. and THAT ff game outsold each of the FF games on the ps2. |
It most certainly did not. FF: CC sold all of 1.36 million copies whereas FFX, FFX-2, and FFVII sold 7.95 million 5.21 million, and 4.94 million, respectively.
Anyway, the 360 and PS3 will have mostly the same third-party titles. Even with slow sales and various other mishaps, the only significant exlcusive that the PS3 has actually lost is Ace Combat 6. The others have simply gone multi-platform. The 360's sales aren't strong enough to warrant established franchises from the PS2 being developed exclusively for it. It sells decently in N. America, but it actually does worse than the PS3 in Europe and Japan, and that's without a price cut.
As far as Bioshock being a system-seller, I bloody well doubt it no matter what the reviews say. It'll probably sell 1-1.5 million copies, nearly all of which will be in N. America and to people who already have 360's. The sales of the 360 actually decreased when Lost Planet, GRAW2, and Forza 2 were released, so I don't see why this game is going to cause 360's to fly off the shelves. As a matter of fact, I'd say it ends up being another Lost Planet. Good reviews, a lot of hype, sells a million copies, but not a hardware mover at all.
