| Blue3 said: So former PS2 owners dont care about playing the next big FF game or MGS. Whats about the 25 million Gran Turismo sold last gen, those players will just forget about GT. Get real. Did i say GTA wont help the 360, hell no. But huge majority of PS2 owners sure as hell wont choose Halo over GT/FF/MGS/GOW, 1 great game vs 4 great ones, real tough choice. |
Oy. You're ignoring the most important part of this argument:
When gamers go into a store to buy GTA IV, Halo 3 will be sitting next to it on the shelf. All four of the games you mentioned, while all are great franchises, they won't even have a release date announced at that time.
Casual gamers don't buy something like a gaming console based on future value; they don't study release dates, console performance, hell most don't even pay attention to game ratings. They buy what they see they want at a price they can afford. And the 360 will come in at $300/400 with two blockbusters versus the PS3 at $600 with the same blockbuster available on 360.
Which console do you think most will choose?
And if you argue with me on that point, you're completely unrealistic about markets and consumers. It's that simple.
