Like i said already popularity is also very important, not just sales. Gabe Newell of Valve announcing Portal 2 for the PS3 was a huge hit for E3 and the fans. even though that might not become the next 10mil seller, its still a comeback for the console. or when Square Enix announced FF13 going to the 360, even though it hasnt sold more than 1.5mil , its been a huge boon for the console.

again, like i've already said (yawn) the US isnt the only gaming market. something like ME could enjoy considerable success in the EU or JP where it hasnt sold as much as in the US on the 360. not to mention i think gears and ME could be massive come back for the console, in the same way FF13 was a huge bomeshell at E3 when it was announced to be multiplatform.

so i dont understand why your talking about the sales of Killzone 3!? like i've already said Mass Effect and Gears would be a huge come back for PS3. i never said that they would sell like 10m copies or launch PS3 console sales into the stratosphere. i understand that perphaps it was far too complex to understand.

and about Epic, i dont work for them, i dont care what they do etc. but we'll see what they do with there next game. just to break that down, i think that a game released multiplatform will sell more than if that same game was released exclusively. a lot of developers are opting for multiplatform development now, i wouldnt be supprised if epic choose to do the same with there next game.

The PS3 has been outselling the X360 consistently almost all year and now there's a price cut/remodel which gives the 360 a BOOST (read: BOOST) which still hasn't leveled off. Sony also hasn't done anything to counter it yet. What makes you so sure that the events of a few weeks in a bloody 10 year life cycle will somehow change everything?

Well since you keep repeating the same thing over and over I've realized you have no idea what you are talking about. And the game Epic is working on is Bulletstorm and its going multiplat. Chances of it selling more than Gears are slim but we'll see.

The reason I brought up Killzone is the EXACT SAME REASON you have been talking nonstop about ME and Gears, except my comment actually makes sense. You do realize the 360 and PS3 are pretty much neck and neck in EU right? How will releasing ME on the PS3 win over gamers for the PS3 and sell more copies there?

Lastly Mass Effect and Gears going to the PS3 would exactly sell 0 consoles. There aren't any potential customers sitting on their hands waiting for those franchises to go to PS3 before buying one. If they want Gears and ME that badly they would have purchased a 360 already.

For the same reason releasing Final Fantasy 13 on the 360, Portal 2 on the PS3, Bioshock on the PS3, Grand Theft 4 on the 360, or Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3, has been a success (Portal 2 pending). i'm not saying that all of these titles have become system sellers, but like i've said, something like ME or Gears would be a massive come back for the PS3. even though they might not sell consoles, they do develop the library of the console and improve its reputation with gamers. like i've said already, populatiy is also important. eg Gabe Newell of Valve supporting PS3 at E3, it was a hit with gamers!

i'm not saying there are any potential buyers waiting patiently for GoW or ME to go multiplatform. i'm not saying that PS3 sales will smash into the stratosphere if they did. but i do think there is a potential for those games to become popular on the console, and sell many copies, even if they dont sell consoles. although, i'm not ruling out the possibilty that they could sell consoles. just like any good game bundled with a console can make a difference.

Either way it doesn't matter. Mass Effect may come to the PS3. Gears of war will NEVER come to the PS3. Get that out of your head and every other Sony fan can forget about it.
