@gameman.
You will be surprised at how much difference these make...
1. Pricecut (Worldwide)
2. Gran Turismo 5 (Worldwide)
3. Final Fantasy 13 (Japan)
The only reason 360 is up YoY is because of its price. |
You will be surprised at how little any of those will have an effect other than maybe FF 13 in Japan. When I say little, I mean they Will have a nice bumb in sales for a couple weeks or even months, but it nothing that will turn the tides. Sony has a 8 million deficit behind Xbox and 30 million behind the Wii. None of those can come fast enough to hard enough to turn it around. Top it off with the fact that Sony shed $1.5 billion for the entire company the last fiscal year.

Dude, you have no clue what you're talking about. Those two games alone will probably be Playstation's biggest hardware movers. The price cut will also move many consoles. Carl is right, you're speaking of what you HOPE will happen, not what WILL happen.

Everyone said MGS 4, Killzone 2, LBP, Home ,and Resistence 2 were gonna all have the same effect. They didnt do anything. The only way those games will have any effect, is if you you ignore potential system sellers for Xbox 360. This includes games like Halo ODST, Forza 3, Splinter Cell Conviction, etc. Im saying it will all just be Net Net and stay the way it is.

A) show me who said ANY of those games would sell on GT5 or Final Fantasy XIII levels
B) The games you mentioned (outside of possibly ODST) will not have the same effect GT5 and FFXIII will have for the PS3. Remember, the PS3 hasn't seen a new Final Fantasy or Gran Turismo this gen, which tells me, you either A) underestimate their selling power or B) are in denial that those two games will move massive PS3s

Final Fantasy XIII is multiplat in the US. and Europe, and I can find several threads where people thought MGS 4, LBP, Home or whatever will kill the Xbox 360. Then there is always the issue with new IP's like Gears of War was and Microsoft securing importants third party exclusives like Mass Effect and Bioshock. Gran Turismo is questionable at this point. It sold well on a 100 million installed base , but do you really expect it to sell 14 million on a 30 million installed base? a whopping 50% attach rate????????? I mean GTA 4 didnt sell 18 million on the PS3 like it did on the PS2 simply because of installed base difference.
