seems that no software will move consoles any more

 

 

For the HD twins? Yeah it's pretty much over. All that's left is FF13 Japan and GT5 Europe (although it will probably lead to short spikes in Japan/USA as well).

You really think so? I never really thought about it..

 

 

Yeah I do. I mean, this market is rather unpredictable but at this point I don't see anything (software wise) propelling any of the HD twins up to a new plateau besides those two titles.

The 360 is three years + old, the ps3 is two years + old, both have ample software available (while I do think the 360 has the advantadge there, the ps3 catalogue has increased enough it's not gonna be an issue to most people).

Those are the last marquee franchises from last-gen still to be released. Of course we will see spikes here and there occasionally, but games actually having a lasting effect? From my point of view those two and within the constrains of the specified regions. Honestly, I'm even sceptical about long-term effects of FF13 in Japan, but for the moment I'm leaning positive about it.

But as I said, this market is unpredictable and this particular generation is tearing apart some long-standing traditions...
