DRJ said: And to everyone that thinks a couple games are going to drastically increase sales and sustain those new levels, that just won't happen. There are small bumps but the individual games don't effect too much. Halo 3 will not help MS with sales too much. That game targets all of their current customers. Most people that want Halo already have a 360 and several other FPS games alread, imo. Home will not help PS3 sell better. Asside from the .0001% of gamers that come to gaming forums, the rest of the people out there don't know about it, and if they did wouldn't care about it. Brawl and Galaxies may only bump Wii sales slightly, if at all, since it is still supply constrained and likely will be until next year. PS3 doesnt have any time to "warm up". They cant get outsold by about 800k/month (while Nintendo is still upping shippments) until 2009, then magically come out with a couple games and start selling well, by then it wont matter, and those killer games that are 3rd party will be on the 360, Wii, or both anyway. |
1. your right individual games wont but the fact there will be more games out that will give people more reasons to buy the console. The face theres over 20 games that are definitely looking great, and the fact Sony seems to have a good showing of PS3 titles for E3 this year, there will be more gamers whiling to buy.
2. of course Halo 3 will sell a ton of 360s as long as it lives up to its name which a lot of people are having more fun with in the Warhawk Beta then Halo 3 Beta.
3. 70% of the USA have then internet, 70% of that have High-Speed internet. Most gamers know what IGN and Gamespot is. I think your under-estimating Home. It will be a major selling point.
4. Just like Halo 3, as long as these don't end up being complete disappointments then they will sell consoles due they are established franchises.
