this should be fun, these are all games claimed by some or many to save the PS3 in some way
- LBP (the casuals will all buy PS3s!!!)
- Home (??? never understood what people say in this)
- Lair (hehehe)
- Haze (ditto)
- GTPro (Japan and Others only, some of the more fanatical predicted it to outsell mkwii in others...)
- Yakuza 3: (the from Last march, Japan only)
- DMC4 (japan savior only)
- GTA4 (theory was since this was a traditional Sony franchise it would help the PS3 the most
- MGS4 (actually did help HW... for 2 weeks)
- Rachet and Klank (predessor to LBP in the get the casuals to buy PS3s genre)
- Folklore
- Heavenly Sword
- Resistence 2
- Motostorm 1 (and a little 2)
- Warhawk
- Blacksite Area 51 (yea, there was a couple thread about this being a savior)
- WKC (japan only)
Oh wait I went over my limit...
Misc Saviors
- 6 axis controlls
- Dual Shock 3
- Playstation Brandname
- Bluray victory
Future Saviors
- FFXIII (Japna mostly)
- Killzone 2
- GT5 (the one that actually has a chance)
- Yakuza 3 (this march edition)
- 299 pricepoint
pretty much every major (or even minor it seems) PS3 exclusive get branded as a "savior" at one time or another. To note, most of those games were commerical flops, or underpreformed, but not all of them. They just all failed to save the PS3.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
