| Resident_Hazard said: Ridiculous article. Interesting, though somewhat ridiculous. For one, if the Xbox360 will "fail" in Europe because it's not casual enough, then why do they think the PS3 will succeed? It's pretty much the same thing with a Blu-Ray player. And the PS3 will have a hard time out performing the X360 or Wii in terms of software for three reasons: A) Many PS3 owners bought it more as a high-def movie player than a game machine, so they don't buy as much software as they do Blu-Ray movies; B) All (give or take a couple) multiplatform games sell better on the X360 than the PS3; and C) It's just as much a "hardcore" anti-casual machine as the Xbox360 is. And it still costs more. Anyone who still thinks the Wii is a fad needs to have their head examined. |
I think this is the case because almost all good multiplat (PS360) games are FPS with a few casual (which people just tend to buy for whichever console they have) but I couldn't imagine my favorite genre (the JRPG) selling more on 360 than PS3. Do you thing Lost Odyssey won't have reached 1 million by now on PS3 even with a smaller install base? Also, its not possible for the PS3 to sell more FPSs than 360 so all consoles have pros and cons
