1)people who want gt5 ff13 and mgs4 alrdy own a ps3? WRONG

2)there are still over 50 million people or so who still own a ps2 and r waiting for these games to come to ps3 so they can get it. for example my friends r waiting till gow3 and ff13 come out. they have ps2 and 360.

3)gran turismo 4 sold 10 million copies. ps3 sold 12 million consoles (rounded) so for exampel those 10 million people didnt buy a ps3 already. impossible. they will wait for a sequel like gt5 to come out then pick up a ps3.

1) So people who want Gears of War 2 already own a 360, but if they want MGS the've waited a year and a half? What crack you smokin'?

 2) People are done waiting on PS3, they've moved on, they're not waiting anymore.

 3) Gran Turismo, like the PS3 is ailing

 

 


Its simple:

 1) with Halo 3, GoW, COD4, etc. 360 has very likely gained the majority of shooter players its going to (in terms of big spikes) - therefore it is unlikely that GoW2 (while it will be a massive seller) will drive a massive boost is console sales.  Logic says that there probably aren't many shooter fans who have so far turned up their noses at Halo 3, GoW itself, COD4, etc who will suddenly rush out and buy a 360 due to GoW2.  However just as with Halo 3 it is very likely there are a fair number of gamers waiting for MGS 4 before buying a PS3 so logic says it will likely drive a large spike in console sales (just as Halo 3 did for 360).

 2) those gamers who want MGS and the next FF very likely are still waiting - although the clear increase in PS3 sales (ahead of 360 in Others weekly for ages now and more recently in US) does show many aren't waiting around - they're buying the console

 3) have you looked at sales of GT5:P?  A 'Prologue' that is selling better than many full games?  If that's ailing I wish I was ailing like that.

Of course, I can see from your comments you've decided what you believe and are unlikely to let common sense and available facts get in the way.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
