LOL... omg I got called a fanboy for the first time.

I think i'm just down to earth... and sorry I missed the Simpsons as a system seller for the PS3.


If people DONT think that The Simpsons game is going to be huge then you're just not looking at the picture clearly.

Mario & Sonic just adds fuel to the already burning Wii sales and Smash and Mario bring in so many Nintendo fans its not funny... Galaxy especially brings more of a system seller position than Smash.

You can call me a fanboy all your want, that is how the market is reacting at the moment...

I'm happy to take a big dose of Crow if I'm wrong but I'm more right about this than other people listing off long crappy lists.

And Link's Crossbow is right on the edge of being a system seller, but I think it's just another final nail in the coffin for the casual user...

Sorry but everyone seems to forget about,

 

CoD4 , Haze, UT3, R&C:FToD, Uncharted.. and a few other minor titles. This a long with a new price drop and possibly other un-announced news can bring up sales for the PS3 drastically.


 I haven't forgotten about those....

COD has never been a HUGE selling game... it's not really a system selling series either.  I think COD4 will be huge but it's a multiplatform game so it's NOT a system selling draw card SORRY.  I'm anticipating this game HUGE right now... but I'll be buying the PC version.

Haze - looks okay, but its definitely got no system selling power.  It advances the range of software on the PS3 but it's not a big enough game and I expect it to not sell overly well... current PS3 owners will love it though

UT3 is multiplatform again... i'll be getting the PC version for sure... updated graphics on UT99 levels?? PHUCK YEAH but there is no way i'm getting a PS3 for it and it's home isn't necessarily on PS3.. timed exclusive or not.

Ratchet and Clank... for sony fans its a great game to list, for people who don't own a next gen console yet... do they choose Mario Galaxy or Ratchet and Clank? I know what i'd choose... I bet you I know which a larger majority of people choose too.

Uncharted has great graphics but I can already see it being underwhelming in sales... Just like I predicted the LAIR bomba I'm pretty certain that Uncharted isn't going to set the house on fire... It will sell quite well because it's going to be a much better game than LAIR but if Heavenly Sword is only selling as much as it is then what chance does Uncharted have to do so much better? It isn't going to move hardware.
