who said that? crush the wii or the 360?

With those games, some multiplataform and the price drop the PS3 doubled its sales and its sellin better than the 360 worlwide every week

I would like to know as well, I believe it must have been a very select group of indivuals. Games like Lair, Heavenly Sword and Uncharted were new franchices. Heavenly Sword and Uncharted are impressive million sellers. Lair was a dissapointment saleswise, but IMO far more interesting than most higher rated multi-platform games (thus I don't agree with many US reviewers, the game was well rated by Famitsu though).

R&C: TOD is a million seller as well, which is quite good considering it's nearly the only game convering this gerne on the PS3, until the release of games like LBG and Jak & Daxter.

Again, it may not have been either of you specifically, but there certainly were others saying these games would make a huge difference, and not just the parody fans. Try looking at this thread, picked at random from many possible candidates (April 2007):

cut the crap chief

i bought motorstorm yesterday from Futureshop ,Montreal.

people like always were looking more at the ps3 section rather than Wii.

i noticed 3 slim ps2s and 2 ps3s sold within an hour.

I myself bought the last copy of Motorstorm.

my futureshop had 40 ps3s yesterday  which is down to 6 today (Futureshop near Parc).

my Bestbuy yesterday had 0 ps3s.

x360 is already out of the system war.

It all comes down to ps3 vs Wii.

ps3 would ofcourse trail wii until the end of this year or at the beginning of 2008.

piratikkio:

ps3 is selling well; soon with HS, LITTLE BIG PLANET, LAIR, AFRIKA, MGS4, FF... "HOME"......etc

it will sell better than wii or 360. it isn't very hard to understand......is it?

shane:

We know for a fact FF, MGS, GTA, Ratchet, DMC, Gran Turismo, etc. will not only sell millions but will also move systems. Not only that, but Sony has a ridiculous amount of room to move the price, which will also move systems. Now the question of whether they can move enough systems is a valid one, but Sony's got much better days ahead.

Nintendo's going to need more than just an improved start in the smallest territory over the first 5 months to really make up the ground they've lost over the past decade.

blowfish:

Wow this is a fun thread. The amount of sony bashing is as strong as ever i see. So it's time for list wars. From now until the end of the year the ps3 has the best line up of games coming out, the xbox360 is a close second with the wii way out in third. If you don't think thats going to effect sales then your in for a big supprise.

The ps3 has:

Ninja Gaiden Sigma

Lair

Heavenly Sword

Warhawk

New Eye Toy

The Eye Of Judgement

Singstar

Little Big Planet

Metal Gear Solid 4

Gran Turismo Prologue

Ratchet And Clank

Playstation Home

Killzone

Drakes Uncharted

Hotshots Golf 5

Anyway, I could go on. You get the point. There were dozens of posts like this... just as there had been posts claiming that PS3 sales would explode when Virtua Fighter came out, and when Motorstorm came out, and so on. Now for fun... here's an old post from our very own CrazzyMan!

Well, ps3 will rock in second part of 2007.

Like begining with http://www.gamepro.com/screens/110429/108390-4-2.jpg :)

and well, any other console didn`t have so many good titles in _first_ year of console life.
PS3 in _first_ year will get in 2007:

GTA4
AC
DMC4
(multiplatform - but still will be very good games)

MGS4 or FFXIII
KillZone2
HS
NGS
Lair
Uncharted
Ratchet
LBP
MotorStorm
VF5
Warhawk -- Folks soul

on PS2 all hits like MGS2, GT3, FFX, GTA3, DMC came only on _second_ year of console life.

Note that nearly all of these games have been released, and still the story remains the same...
