Sony won't counter with anything specifically. GT5 was post-poned so it can minimize the impact Natal and a slim 360 can possibly have, but that is perfectly reasonable since they have their own slim console launch effect as an example though.

come again???

It will, quite probably, launch around the same time as Natal.

but...... what da fudge GT5 got to do with natal or a bullshit not gonna happen 360 slim??? you do know they come for 2 completely diferent platforms. I never ever got this ever in my life ever, gt5 vs. forza like they could even remotely have anything to do with each other sales wise....................do every single person own both platforms????? I don't

Gears is not a MS first party title either

It's published by Microsoft just like how Resistance is not a Sony first party title but its published by Sony. 

Yeah but Sony owns Resistance IP while Epic owns Gears IP.

lol...how did Ms respond to God of War 3?

Game room!!!!!

Kind of a silly thread...

lol I'm with disolitude on this one.

I just hope Sony release Resistance 3 this year and Killzone 3 sometime during holiday season next year.



I'd say Killzone 3.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Slaughterhouse Is The Sh*t  .... NOW ........ B_E_L_I_E_V_E

And what advantage would there be for Sony bringing GT5 out just to compete with Forza and slap it around? None.

It is Sony's biggest franchise and what it can do is put the company and the PS3 on the spotlight at a time when Microsoft will be fully under it. This way they share media space, public recognition and mouth-to-mouth marketing, since Natal is the newest toy in town and GT5 will probably be quite the seller.

Had Sony not post-poned GT5's release, Microsoft would get all the attention for themselves.

It's not a safe bet and we don't know if it will play out exactly this way, but it's the current theory.

Gran Turismo itself defeated both PGR and Forza and no sony fanboy said crap about it???
Why does this topic keep surfacing only to be meaningless.

people are missing the point here everyone who has a ps3 and sony knows that the ps3 can't compete witht he 360 in turns of sales. they can respond to gears of war quality wise. i think thats ony and compete and do more against 360 exclusives quality wise. but sale wise they'l get as good sales as 3rd party games on wii (what a big exageration :P)



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Gears of War is one of the top 3 shooter franchises this gen. Sony doesn't have a Halo killer and they don't have a Gears of War killer either. They do have some shooters but they are as small as Forza is compared to GT.

Gears of War 3 will probably sell 2 million first week, that is almost the same number Killzone 2 did till today and even more than Resistance 2 did overall. Really, there is no counter. Uncharted 3 would be fun to watch, but Gears of War 3 would still win pretty easily.

 

I think many of you misunderstand something: Sony doesn't need anything to counter Gears of War.


I never said they need one. They would love to have one though.

How would you know that?


???

Hello Sony,

would you like to have an exclusive shooter that sells about 6 million copies?

[  ] Yes

[  ] No.

What do you think would Sony pick?

An exclusive franchise as big as Gears of War is a plus for every platform.

 

 



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

KZ3, but its using the same graphics, so it has a chance to compete with GOW3 as with gameplay

I downloaded Syphon Filter Dark Mirror on the PSP. It's the first game in the series that I've played since Syphon Filter 2 and to be honest, I love it. It's actually very creative, funny, and graphically impressive. Bring this series to the PS3 and focus on the things that made the old games good. You'll have your Gears of War 3 competition.
