If you don't think that releasing the same series every year and selling millions works... well, EA and a little series called Madden would like a word with you. Not to mention every other popular IP in existence (Microsoft's own Halo 3 sort of proves the point; it's basically a graphically-updated Halo 2, and it sold over 5 million.) And, no doubt there'll be some good games for PC this year, but listing every single game coming out for the PC as "AAA," including a slew of unproven IP, likely horrible games like Savage 2, and still-in-early-development titles like Dragon Age (which doesn't even have a release date yet, and likely won't for a long, long while) is just silly. Lastly, I don't bash mods. I just call them out as I would any other poster when I think they're wrong. Being a mod makes someone automatically right on affairs concerning the forums, true, but it doesn't make them untouchable where their opinions on other subjects are concerned. |
But, basically; Madden will win 2008 for the 360 (a multiplat title) and Microsoft owns every popular IP in existence? I did not know that to be honest. And by using Halo as an example you're actually underlining the bolded part of my post. The biggest seller on the 360 this year will probably be GTA IV, and that's also a multiplat title (or at least shared with one other platform, the one that happens to be its nemesis). I commend you for trying, but there's really no firmament to your points the way I see it.
And about the PC games; the list that Shio, me and SSJ12 drools over is just the cream of the crop, there's over 900 PC games coming out this year globally, so I really don't see that list as "all the PC games coming out this year".
