| kamil said: @mrstickball If you mean by "far greater releases" games that sold more in absolute units than it's true, X360 had more "big releses". But if you mean units sold compared to userbase and there is no good games on PS3 than it's not really true. X360 had Halo 3 and PS3 really didn't have anything comparable to it. But this is one game. Other biggest X360 titles are Call of Duty 4, AC and Vegas 2 which are also avalible on PS3. So PS3 had few quite big game and however they aren't as big as X360 counterparts the ratios for GTA4 openning vs (for example) CoD4 openning for both platform shouldn't be that much different (of course PS3' faster userbase growt will have an effect). |
I was only/mainly referring to the fact that the X360 has had a few high-selling (first week-wise) games, like Gears of War, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Halo 3, and a few others that most likely saw high levels of pre-orders, whereas the PS3 has not. We've seen, in the US, and Japan (for many PSP, DS and Wii games), strong pre-order demand, but not so much for European PS3 titles.
Now that we finally have a game that is much-anticipated from the Consumer Pre-Order point of view, it seems that retailers didn't expect it, and are reacting....With a knee-jerk reaction..Which is odd, since one could see GTAIV on PS3 being highly demanded a mile away.
So again, I'm merely talking First week sales in the UK for each system, which would be a good gauge of consumer interest from a pre-order standpoint: I'd expect GTAIV on the PS3 to do better than any other PS3 game, and the 360 version to get pretty close to Halo 3, and beat most any other game.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
