PS3 overtaking the (Dead) 360 Anytime soon? Not really...

As the ps3 has more AAA games this year, its very likely that it will get a boost in sales.

I count one for each system. MGS4 and Gears 2. Resistance definitely isn't a system seller and Killzone has just as much a chance of sucking as it does being great. If you want to include R2 as a system seller, you then have to toss in Halo Wars for the 360.

While I think MGS will move more consoles than Gears, the PS3 lineup isn't head and shoulders over the 360 and it's going into the holiday season without any massive franchises to push sales.

How exactly is Gears 2 a system seller too as most of the people that will buy it have Gear 1( and/or Halo 3) and a 360 already ?

I think it would be safe to assume that from now on system sellers on the 360 won't be fps games as the 360 has already an incredible library in that area and most of the gamers that are crazy about Gears 2 or others future fps on the 360 are likely to already have bought it for Gear, Halo 3, Bioshock....

 To sell system you need games with incredible appeal that beats the competition to pieces or games that are in genres that haven't already been exploited to death on said console....( like GTA4 for example)

PS : Doesn't mean Gears 2 won't sell millions but it will be to gamers that already have a 360...
