It aint the games fault, I personally believe PS3 gamers just dont care.

If it was on 360 id guarantee wed give it a warmer welcome and not insult the developer for its hard work

As much as i hate to admit it. You are probably right. :(

Because Battlefield 3, MW3 and Uncharted 3, all massively popular multiplayer shooters have nothing to do with it.  Or for multiplat gamers you can throw in Gears 3 and the Halo Remake.

Oh gimme a break.

"Us PS3 gamerz gotta ration our moniez cause were gonna go poor buying all these games!"

If someone wants a game, theyll buy it one way or another. Funny thing is Battlefield and COD both have higher preorders for 360 then ps3........yet we also bought over 3 million copies of Gears 3 in one week. Not to mention Halo CE will also have a high opening as well.

PS3 gamers dont care. You can spin but numbers dont lie.

you mean like 360 owners cared about metro 2033, about alan wake, about crackdown 2, about bulletstorm, about crysis 2, about most of the latest kinect games... ? warm welcome indeed.

you also seem to forget that the preorders here are only from north america, where the xbox has almost twice as much install base then the ps3, i would say preorders don't look that bad from that point of view.

Talk to me when we stop buying Halo and Gears. Flagship exclusives. Resistance used to be such a one for PS3. Guess it diminished.....a lot.

"we" ?  you say "WE" ? i'm sorry, i didn't realize, i should not have talked to you at all

lol nice job dodging the general point :)

i made my point, it was you who doged it in the first place by suddenly narrowing down the games. does it really matter which developer "you people" insult for their hard work? are you telling me it was the games fault that alan wake didn't sell?

Well your comparing an established IP to Alan Wake, a new IP. New IPs are hit or miss, regardless of quality. Resistance sales however just get smaller and smaller. Alan Wake broke a million, which is more then I can say for Resistance 3. Plus it was bundled, so theres probably another 1-2 million more people who got their hands on it. In the end, it did just fine 

Ok, you claiming that resistance failed after 2 weeks but Alan Wake that took over a year to reach a million in sales with most of them from the bargain bin and bundles and it "did just fine?"

you sir embarassing a lot of people by acting like the official speaker of the xbox community

Well sir people think its rating on metacritic impacted its sales. People thought it would be over 90 but ended up being in the low 80's. And again........new IPs introduced years into the gen are hit or miss with consumers. So it broke a million and sold 3 million overall with bundles. Again, it did ok for a 80's rated new IP.

Once again......your comparing the 3rd entry in a series to a new IP. That in itself is a fail. Im simply pointing out that every resistance sells less then the predecessor. And Sony bargain binned all resistance games pretty fast after launch.

no you don't

let me quote you people:  It aint the games fault, I personally believe PS3 gamers just dont care.

that is what you pointed out, you only kept twisting your own words on what you said after being called out.

alan wake has pretty much the same metacritic score as resistance 3 has, one opint up or down.  but you claim it affected the games sales, while you say resistance 3 is great but it's the ps3 communitys fault that it is not selling well. Make up your mind.
