Wow, this thread managed to get all of the standard negative PS3 comments in the first 10 posts.
- PS3 owners just don't buy software? I am amazed that anyone would post this. Look at multiplatform releases and compare attach rates for the PS3 and the 360 version. You will see that they are even or that the PS3 version sells at a higher attach rate on most of them. Take Two just announced that the PS3 version sold 50% of the units, even in the US.
- The PS3 has a lower attach rate? It does, it also has been on the market a year less than the 360. You typically see the attach rate arc early in a console's lifetime because the year 0 - 1.5 software library is pretty pathetic. It's simple, the 360's library was better because of the head start. Unless MS announces some games for 2009, you may see the 360's attach rate begin to drop. (This would be bad).
- 50% of the PS3's were bought as Blu-ray players: If this was true, than the 10 million or so hardcore PS3 gamers are buying a ton of software. There is no evidence to prove or disprove this, but the software sales seems to indicate this is a far fetched statement.
- Killzone 2 was over hyped? The 92 meta-critic says otherwise.
Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
