| Scoobes said: @ underlined That's not entirely accurate. You mentioned Uncharted 2 for instance, which by all rights shouldn't have moved consoles, yet on the week of release we saw a moderate boost in PS3 sales, even with good but not brilliant lifetime sales. |
Have these amounted to anything more than tempory spikes? I'm talking significant long term leaps in sales in multiple millions? Not 30k extra for the launch week.
| Scoobes said: You can't just shove a threshold on these things. |
Of course you can. Name a game that sold 10 - 15 million copies and wasn't considered a system seller? There aren't any really, so we know it's at least 10-15 million and to lesser extents that could drop as low as 7 million, but in the 4-5m area it becomes a whole lot murkier.
| Scoobes said: The core fanbase is important to certain franchises. |
True, but the question still remains the same. Why should we expect more from 11 million GT fans from 6 years ago, then 11 million Halo fans from only 3 years ago?
| Scoobes said: A survey recently suggested that >50% of people that planned to buy GT5, had yet to purchase a PS3. I don't put much stock into thse surveys, but it does suggest a positive trend for GT5. |
Or a negative situation for the PS3. 140 million PS2's and 35million PS3's. Over 75% of them have yet to purchase a PS3 too, it doesn't mean they for certain will.
