I doubt mass effect will move much hardware, being a sequel to a plot heavy game snuffs out any chance. Id say MAG has an as good if not better chance of moving hardware. |
Nope, Mass Effect 2 is like a million times more popular than MAG. Check the Amazon sales charts for example, or just any indicator of hype like forum threads.
PS3 barely beating 360 despite being 299 and the same price as 360 now. Never thought I'd see that day. Wouldn't be suirprised if 360 beats PS3 in NPD.

He isn't disputing that ME2 is more popular; he thinks it doesn't have a good chance of moving hardware because it's a sequel.

I dont see much logic at all there. Sequels move as much hardware as any (Halo 3, MGS4, Gears sequel nmber XXX a).
The raw popularity of the title has the effect.
I could just as easily say, as a generic shooternd new IP that people arent familiar with, MAG will move less hardware.

He's talking about sequels to already established franchises on the particular console.
MGS4 and Halo 3 were both the first iterations of those franchises on their respective consoles.
Sequels still do move hardware though, unless im mistaken Uncharted 2 actually gave the PS3 a small boost.
