Blame it on shortages all you want the fact is ps3 outsold 360 as for your other points there are alot of twisted metal fans, and there hasn't been a twisted metal out since ps2 (same with GT5) Last Guardian is a bit of a wild card, it already has more hype and attention then it should, and it has it because it's predecessors were such high quality, also shadow of the collosus was the last big ps2 game, so anyone who has a ps2 who has played those games will be looking at a ps3 and it can easily be a factor in tipping anyones scale through sheer uniqueness and high praise as for Uncharted and Killzone the only people I can see new titles to is 360 owners, at anyrate I feel Sony has all their basis covered, and MS is seriously lagging they have a few games that MIGHT become noteworthy (some of it MS themselves has no stake in) but I just don't see it coming close to beating Sony's line-up and frankly I don't see how you can either, the few games that might be 360 exclusive and might be released in 2010 we know next to nothing about it could be last remenant all over again (was just too bad and did too poorly to bother finishing the port) and conviction hasn't been on the market for a year yet so that could still go, MS has had several year exclusives (to the day) |
I think it's fair to blame 360's low sales in January on shortages when Microsoft themselves announced shortages for at least the month of January, and noting that on the prior week PS3 marginally outsold the 360, but this week, the week of LBP2's launch 360 outsold the PS3. 360 was selling about 30% in November and December, why would that stop in January? Kinect is still outselling everything else, except LBP2 on launch week, but I guess we will have to wait until next week to see if 360 opens the gap a bit more or not.
GT5 barely budged PS3 system sales, and GT is quite literally 10x as big of a franchise. Twisted Metal will not push a noticable amount of consoles. Last Guardian might push consoles in the grand scheme, but on week 1 you will probably not see a boost, at least no more then the boost LBP2 gave, so maybe 15%?
Also, please use periods! That entire comment was one giant sentance and it's hard to read when it's all expressed as a single point.
Did you look at the link? 16 360 titles, compared to 18 PS3 titles, and in the grand scheme the sum of all the 360 games will sell more then the sum of all the PS3 games. Ontop of that, chances are MS has more Kinect titles planned that we just don't know about, I just can't see Sony supporting the Move as much as MS supports Kinect.
There is no reason to beleive PS3 has more software in 2011. It just has more sequels. Of the games listed 8/16 360 games are sequels/prequel (and thats counting Star Wars Kinect as a sequel), and 13/18 of the PS3 games are sequels/prequels, plus one straight HD port (ICO Collection).
I just don't understand how you think PS3 has this massivly larger software lineup, because I've shown it doesn't. Yea you say Sony will likely announce 7 more titles (ontop of the rumoured titles included in the first 18), making 25 exclusives for 2011, but if thats the case, MS will likely announce significantly more Kinect titles.
In the end, you just mock the 360 lineup because it's star titles are sequels (Gears 3, Forza 4, maybe a Halo remake, and Project Dragoon/Steel Batallion for Kinect), but in reality PS3 is the same (Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, LBP2, Twisted Metal, and The Last Guardian).
Also if you've ever played The Last Remnant, it's pretty good. It was ported to PC, just never PS3 because Square Enix and Tri-Ace agreed to make 3 of their RPG's 360 exclusive outside of Japan (Infinite Undiscovery, The Last Remnant, and Star Ocean). This is the same concept as Atlus agreeing to keep Disgaea and Demon Souls PS3 exclusive, when Disgaea could easily be ported onto the Wii. As for Infinite Undiscovery, it's an under-rated RPG, it's better then FFXIV, and probably going to be better then FFXIII-2.
