Price isnt a big issue as current sales show and if u look at recent software sales PS3 can move a considerable amount. Free Online and Blu Ray are huge pluses for the PS3 not to mention reliable hardware and a bigger harddrive than the 360 Premiuim. Achievements don't matter as PS3 has Accomplishments and no one knows anything about this Extra DLC and you are gonna have to pay for it anyway for something that could have been in the game from the start. Controllers can be argued about but most PS2 owners will take the PS3 controller and stick to something they are familiar with. |
Actually it's quite easy.
GTA4 will sell most on 360 in the States and on PS3 in Europe. Also the console sales will be divided that way. Why? Because in the US the 360 is much more known and loved and in Europe the PS3. The kind of people that bought the PS2 in masses bought it because they heard it was great. So, in the US there are much more people playing 360 than PS3, so much more people are familiar with it.
# GT5P and MGS4 are hardcore games, they have nothing to do with where the majority of GTA4 buyers will go (and yeah, GT5P is hardcore, ever seen a casual pay $40,- for the Prologue to a race-sim?).
# Price isn't a big issue?!? Where do you live? Price is probably the main issue for casual gamers. You say that the recent trends show that it's not an issue, but the recent trend is nothing compared to what will be sold with GTA4, that won't be your 70.000 US week, I can tell you that. PS2 was already alot cheaper when GTA arrived.
# hmmm, you really think casuals will care about a bigger hardrive? They probably don't care about RRoD, because they never heard of it, or they know they'll get 3 years waranty.
Your bias becomes kind of obvious when you do think RRoD and harddrive space is an issue, but price/achievements and DLC won't.
