Can someone explain to me why every single sony fan thinks that the 360 has little ammo in it?

Gears 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2, Banjo 3 is only a glimpse of what we are seeing this year.

I am utterly confused.

the only game on that list that will gauranteed sell consoles is gears of war 2. the others are either unknown as to what will happen or are just too hardcore to sell systems.

bioshock and mass effect are prime examples. both mid 90 rated games, yet neither have shifted more than 2 million copies and didn't really drive console sales, relative to their install bases in each region. might i add that mass effect was released during the holiday season too. even uncharted benefited more from the holiday season. it is sub 90 rated with 7 million (at the time) less customers to sell to, but is only 300k behind in sales with mass effect according to vg chartz. gt5:p is only a 'demo', yet it sold/selling much faster than both me and bioshock, AND still with a smaller userbase, yet this game DID drive console sales. 360 games are too hardcore in my opinion. they're really good, but don't have that much appeal to shift consoles. with a couple exceptions of course.


Actually.  Gears is actually the least likely to sell consoles as it's entire fanbase is already on the 360  (much like Resistance 2 and Motorstorm 2 for the PS3).  The other three will certainly sell some consoles.
