The bread and butter of 360, Bungie and Cliffy B all went multi-plat; Media Molecule, Imsoniac, Santa Monica, Naughty Dog, ICO team will still be PS3 exclusive.

And the real Final Fantasy, VS XIII is the exclusive real deal, add in MMORPG like DC Universe which could hook people forever

Of course PS3 will rules over 360 (Wii the beast will still be the king though)


Cliffy B neither works for Bungie nor has gone multiplat.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

lol some people just can't accept the fact that GT5,Twisted Metal,Agent,FF13Vs and Last Guardian are much more likely to push hardware than fable,halo and gears. It's common sense really.

Is this post meant to be intentionally funny?

You are amazingly intelligent....congrats.

@bolded lmafo xD xD....the only 'common sense' thing in your post is GT5. The rest , you simply dont know if it will move more hardware than fable/halo/gears. So it is not common sense, its your opinion.

 

 

cause HALO,GEARS AND fable fans already have PS3's

 

whereas PS3's franchises are yet to release their first games

@bolded, hahhahahahhahhahhah....OMG, advice, take time to read what you write

 

So these franchises released for for the first time on PS3 will help PS3 move 15mil consoles this fiscal year.

-LG, Agent = new IPs, yep its gonna move heaps of HW..

-Twisted Metal = look at modnation..sigh

-FF13V's = Theres already a FF released, so the fanbase is already there

Gran Turismo 5, definitely. It'll sell hundreds of thousands of consoles.

Twisted Metal, probably. The series always sells in the millions. A refresh could spur more sales also.

Agent, possibly. A new IP from Rockstar North that's billed to be the next Grand Theft Auto. Could be HUGE, may not.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII, probably not. The Final Fantasy fanbase is already on PS3 in a big way. Would do the same as Halo, Gears and Fable.

The Last Guardian, not a chance. Team Ico's games are critical hits, not commercial ones.

@ Twisted metal, the highest selling TM game is at 2.27, the rest come in at 1.2 - 1.5

Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 both sold more than the highest selling TM, and they did nothing for software. As did Fable II.

It is 4.5 million according to microsoft's and sony's figures, and since you are using shipped figures, that's what we should be working with..

Agreed with this 4.47 million official gap we also know the PS3 was in shortage in Europe and North America during that time, this unlike the XBox 360 which was in oversupply.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales

Those are numbers for games that were released years before VGChartz even existed so they are largely incomplete. Comparing sales numbers for games that we actively track week by week from release to games whose total sales are simply guestimated at isn't exactly reasonable.

Ok, Solid is going back on the ignore list. It is seriously impossible to argue with someone when they pull their evidence out of thin air, making up price points for Move without any knowledge, making up how much Sony can cut with minor hardware revisions without any knowledge, etc.

Yeah, welcome back to Ignore, Solid.

It's quite amusing how I go into some 360 topics with 250+ posts but only actually see a handful due to the majority being ignored
