Auron on 19 February 2008
| jman8 said: Alan Wake and Fable 2 seem like pretty legit games, so let's not underestimate MS, Auron. I still think Sony will win out in America this year, but that's highly contingent. Basically, Sony and MS will be close in the first quarter because of the 360 shortage. MS will win out in the 2nd quarter because of GTA4 and better system availability. Then I think Sony will take the 3rd quarter with the release of MGS4. The 4th quarter is where things will get tricky. It'll all depends on whether or not Sony gets down to the $300 price point and the big 1st party titles actually release. Resistance 2 will definitely come out because Insomniac never misses a deadline. The question is whether or not GT5 (and Killzone2 to some extent) make it in time. LittleBigPlanet and a Team Ico game would be great niche titles, but ultimately GT5 and Resistance2 have the real ability to be huge mass market sellers. Fable 2 and Alan Wake will probably be great games, but I don't think they have mass appeal of GT5 and Resistance2. Gears 2 on the other hand would undoubtedly be huge. |
I understand but sequals such as Gears are not going to bring in huge numbers since there is already a gears out on the 360. But for sony games like GT5 and MGS4 and such will bring in HUGE numbers because they are the first to appear on the PS3. I myself am waiting for FFXII to release before i buy a PS3, There are some games that interest me now but i will hold off until a game a REALLY want to release.
