Forums - Sony - Why are games selling so poorly on PS3?

perhaps most view the ps3 as a cheap blue-ray player and are not interested in games.

If uncharted / R&C reach a million it's because they are going to get bundled (like Motorstorm/Resistance). Assasin's creed and COD 4 are the only good sellers on the system without having to get bundled.

Resistance CROSSED 1 million WELL BEFORE being bundled

& motorsotrm was at 900K when it was bundled

those 2 games sold well....

My prediction for YEARS END:

WII - 18.3 Million

Xbox 360 - 15 Million

Playstation 3 - 8.5 Million

In Europe Assassins Creed on PS3 is selling at nearly the same rate and has the same total as the 360. CoD 4 is selling at the same rate in EU, although 360 sales are higher. Pro Evo has only sold slightly higher in Europe on 360 than PS3. Recently sales in EU have been higher than before.

Despite the sales being 4.45/2.5 software sales last week were 611k/604k, so everything is looking up for the PS3, next week there should be more sales with Uncharted and Singstar being released.



They aren't selling that badly if you take into concideration the small number of ps3's out there.

and like some guy said above me CoD4 and Assassin's creed are about to sell 1 million, and resistance and motorstorm aren't too far from 2 million each.



well its user base isnt to big yet for it to have alot of million sellers,but COD4 and AC will shortly make the list

@carlos

Can you stop with your trollish comments attacking anything playstation?

On topic:

The ps3 will have 5 million sellers by years end. Software explodes during the holidays.
It will increase since you cant hack the ps3 like the psp.

I don't know why people always argue that if a game sells poorly on the PS3, it must be because of the smaller install base than the 360.

If you look at it, with the relatively smaller game library of the PS3, it should definitely have a higher attachment rate than the X360 which has a larger library of games.

As a platform increases it's games library, it's attachment rate naturally decreases. In a platform with a relatively small library of games and the market not saturated yet, I expect Uncharted, R&C, etc... considering they are AAA+ titles, to have an attachment rate of no less than 20% in the first 2 weeks. That's why I think Uncharted and the likes aren't really selling good. They're selling decently but not good.



^i can name 4 resistance,motorstorm,COD and AC,what the fifth one



Warhawk is going to be the 5th one.
