| starcraft said: We have already seen from DMC4 that games that have their roots in PS2 exclusivity sell better (relative to userbase) on the PS3. Whilst I don't think MGS4 would sell poorly on the 360 were it too hit the console on a similar date to the PS3 version (which, clearly, is not going to happen) it would not sell nearly as well as the PS3 version, relative to userbase. It is all relative of course, but you cannot possibly think that Gears 2 would sell better on the PS3 relative to userbase than it will on the Xbox 360, given the PS3 didn't see the original? Why do Sony fans regularly (and with validity) claim that GTAIV will attract many PS2 upgraders relative to the 360, if not in recognition of this concept? As for the second quote, we already discussed it. Remember, you (somewhat belatedely) acknowledged that sarcasm doesn't represent the unswerving and hardened opinion of a poster, particularly when that sarcasm is nothing more than a response to sarcasm. Apparently, even switching threads is no longer necessary for you to abandon context and try to paint my posting history in a unrepresentative light. Even if I hadn't been sarcastic, you would still have completely missed the point of what I was saying (the irony of course, is that you haven't missed anything, your simply being devious and difficult). I merely used sarcasm and hyperbole to pass comment on the currently widely acknowledged state of the PS3 library relative to the 360 library. Certainly it should be acknowledged that the 360 had an extra year to accumulate said library, but that does little to change the status quo. |
Sigh, we are never going to agree, so we can just stop I guess.
No, I don't think Gears would sell as well on the PS3, and I don't think Bioshock 2 will either. That's entirely different then saying it won't sell well. It will sell millions on the PS3. Gears 3 will sell millions on the PS3 (although less then it will sell on the 360). They will sell well.
As for sarcasm, I don't think you were being sarcastic. When your sarcastic, you usually say the opposite of what you really mean. Like if you said. "Ok Mr Mafoo, your right.. you are always right...", that would be sarcasm. Stating something you actually believe to be true is something else entirely.
