| DirtyP2002 said: Hey guys, we know PS3-fans like to hype their games, especially on this site. We saw this with Resistance2 and LBP last year and with Killzone and inFamous this year. But the sales were not as huge as some might have hoped. Some people said Resistance2 had a chance to outsell Gears of War2 or LBP would be the entrance for casual gamers to get a PS3. Last Xmas the Xbox360 crushed the PS3 especially on the software-side. Here is a comparison of the last Xmas lineup. First the most successful multiplat games
The top selling exclusives:
So Xbox360 won last holiday season. This season, it is all about the release of GT5. That is the only exclusive game that could outsell Halo ODST. If GT5 gets a 2010 release, this years holiday season will be like the past. Halo ODST will do even crazier numbers than Gears of War 2 did. God of War will do good numbers but nowhere near Halo ODST. The 2009 release of God of War 3 is still doubtful btw. Forza Motorsports 3 is very likely to be released this holiday season. Games like Heavy Rain, Resistance, Uncharted 2 just do not have the impact like a Halo this year or a Gears of War last year. Multiplat games like Modern Warfare2, Bioshock2, Assassins Creed2 will sell better on the Xbox360, too. So I expect the Xbox360-Software to outsell the PS3-Software by a decent margin. Just like last year. Do you agree? Which PS3-game could match Halo ODST saleswise? |
WOW. I didn't know the PS3 X-mas lineup had done SO WELL. Thanks for the data. And look at all those third parties putting up big numbers for a system outsold 2:1 that holiday period. So nice to see that.
OT: Let's see how that works for you next christmas. Hopefully MS can cut the price again and go bankrupt when their sales can't do better than that.
