The ps3 will pass the xbox360 some time in 2009. Ps3's 2008 line up is far superior to the 360's and the wii's and that will make all the difference.

LOL that's a good one... Prove it! Show us the magical lineup for 2008 that Sony apparently has compared to what Nintendo has (which they've yet to talk about) and what MS has (who's also been quiet about 2008). You only need to talk about next years items if this years items can't hold their own. It's called dangling a carrot... Most games scheduled for next year are all tentative... meaning they could come out next year... of they could get delayed.


Brillant fanboy post with the use of 'LOL' to show off how mature you are. Wether you like it or not the ps3 in 2008 has more proven top rated multi million selling franchises coming out than any other console. The ps3 just off the top of my head has:

Gran Turismo 5

Final Fantasy 13

Final Fantasy Versus XIII

Grand Theft Auto 4 (not coming to wii)

Metal Gear Solid 4

Killzone 2

Monster Kingdom

The Getaway 3

Tekken 6

Driver 5

Devil May Cry 4 (not coming to wii)

Wipeout

Burnout 5 (not coming to wii)

Resident Evil 5 (not coming to wii)

Then their are a bunch of promising new games such as, LittleBigPlanet, DC Universe, Eight Days, L.A. Noire and White Knight Story.

 

 


first off FF 13 will be lucky if it comes in 08, but i guess you can keep that up you never know they might be able to do it, and there is no chance in hell versuses is coming out in 08 unless they have kept everything a lie.

Now sony has been focusing on 08, because well, we see what they have for this holiday and its not the best, i would also focus on next year.

Also you have a few multis on there so i would NOT INCLUDE THEM

THESE ARE EXCLUSIVE SO FAR (least i hope -_-)

Fable 2

Too Human

Halo Wars

Cry on

Infinite Undiscovery

Alan Wake

Banjo-Kazooie 3

(possibly Lost odyssey its early 08 or late 07) Lost Odyssey

Universe At War: Earth Assault

Marvel Universe Online

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

Castle Wolfenstein

And thats what they have announced, id be shocked if microsoft didnt have more coming, i really would

WHile ps3 does have the stronger lineup, its not like 360 and wii dont have a decently strong one.

 

Seriously if you are argeuing that a bunch of games will give the ps3 a huge ass boost, then why not the same for 360 and wii, your argueing is pointless

 

 


Nope, no and nope. You've listed a bunch of unproven games with the exception of fable 2, banjo and wolfenstein. Just taking the last released version of Gran turismo, final fantasy and metal gear, in total sales that comes to 17.69m and is still rising. You can take all those games you've just listed and combined they won't out sell those 3 huge sony games.

I would sure hope those games would of sold that many, on a console that sold 100 million, its not that huge even 20% attachment rate for all those combined. Even halo a single game was at 30%.

Now with 4 million total ps3 sold, id say each one sales 1 m? and thats being nice with a 25% attachment rate.

So i guess 3 million is alot.......

 

 


No it doesnt work like that. Games sell as many as they do because that many people wanted to buy them, not because they just happened to own the system. If somebody is only a metal gear fan why would they buy a ps3 now? Why not wait till the game comes out and then buy a ps3? According to your logic if halo was a ps2 exclusive game is would have sold 35m right?? Lol sorry halo sold 8 million because only 8 million people wanted to buy it. Gran turismo also sold 8 million because that many people wanted to buy it and the same will happen again for both games when they get released.

So, with that reasoning, when MGS4 is released, sony is going to sell a few million consoles that month...right, because everyone who wants to buy that game hasnt bought a PS3 yet. It seems like you don't know how things work. The majority of those sales are from people who already own the console, not people buying it AND mgs4 at the same time. If you are right though, I can't wait to see sony sell 4 million consoles the day MGS comes out.


The game isnt out for another 6 months, the majority of people who want that game havent brought a ps3 yet. Some people will buy a ps3 this christmas for it, some will buy a ps3 around the day of release, and some will get a ps3 later that year for the game. Either way mgs4 will have got close to 4 million people to buy a ps3 at one point or another.
