Did the system get saved? no.

Guys, clearly the PS Eye > Wii. PS Eye is powered by t3h C3ll! Wii sux. It's s000 last gen. And PS Eye can detect REAL motions and motions around you. How cool is THAT?!

And Singstar or whatever games using the PS Eye > All Wii games put together.

i second this

None of these games will "turn things around" but in the consumer eye, people will see that there are good games to be played on the PS3 and they will come back to the console they had the last generation where the games were at. After seeing things pick up in Japan recently from where it was a few weeks ago, it shows that people want to buy and play PS3, just that they want some faith in the brand and something to play. If these games are good, then more devs/pubs will come, thus increasing the amount of games, increasing sales overall.... IMO

No, but another $150 in price cuts and all those games remaining exclusive might. $400 is too expensive for the casual gamer majority that made the PS1/2 successful.



then why is wii on top

1) FOR HOW LONG?
Japan? and SMG sales in Japan?

few reasons:
CHEAP.
NEW CONTROLS.
APPEALING TO CASUALS, NOT GAMERS.

2) By the end of 2008, there will over 20 MUST PLAY games on PS3.

3) Soriku - HAVE YOU SEEN THIS - http://blog.us.playstation.com/2007/11/14/video-of-new-research-conducted-with-playstation-eye/ ?



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.

Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.

+1 for you !

lol, you are pwning Lost tears of kain.

To Lost tears of kain:
Don't get agressive just because you don't know what to say. Seems like once you reach that point your only argument is "fuck you, you are a silly fanboy". Perhaps the fanboy is another person.

on topic:

No, those games won't "turn things around"
FF13 is not coming until 2009 at the earliest.
Killzone: a delay to 09 it's rumored. Besides, is not exactly a huge seller. Is just the kind of games that Ps3 fans like to hype, like Lair and heavenly sword, anything that looks good on videos.
MGS 4: Very good game, coming out in 08 and huge seller... however i don't think i will do a lot by itself.

The Wii still has at least 5+ huge sellers for 08. Brawl, Mario Kart, Animal crossing, Wii Fit, Wii Motorsports, Kirby wii (question mark, some Kirby games have sold 5million+, others only do 1m+, depends of the type of Kirby game we get)

what did Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Resident Evil, etc do for Gamecube?
Mario, Zelda, Metroid - these are pure nintendo game. And N64 with CG sales were poor, while both psOne and ps2 sales were over 100 mln. Much More people played MGS, FF, GT games. That`s why these games will improve sales a lot.

More people played MGS, FF and GT than Mario, Zelda and Metroid??? Just ignorant.


LOL. You probably think, that MOST gamers are around 30 years old? =))

Come on, MOST gamers OF THIS CONSOLE GENERATION, which started to play games in 1996-1997 when PSOne came were only 8-10 years old. Now after 10-12 years, they are atleast 18-20 years old. They grown up on PLAYSTATION games. Nintendo BRAND was WEAK all this last 10 years.

your so danm ignorant its not even funny.

Im 17 years old, most likely the average age of gamers, and ill tell you right now mario and zelda have so much more influence to video games and are more system sellers then anything sony can produce

 

Your ignorance is unbelievable.

 



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.
