That's the most delusional written comment i've seen in my entire life on this forum.

 

Kinect should significantly push systems for the next few weeks at a minimum. GT5 will get a one week boost and be glad of it.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

How many 3rd party devs have had success on the wii? Not many. So you can't really blame them. Imagine them making a game like GOW on the Wii, how many H&S games have sold well on the system? 'They' don't expect big sales even if they develop for the wii, that's all they are saying. GOS sales are not complete here, we don't know how much it sold on PSN, or WW for that matter for sure. So wait until we get proper confirmation of it before going down this discussion. Developing for a handheld is much cheaper also which helps.

I for one HOPE Sony buy off R@D and make them focus on PSP2 and PS3 soon. They are such good devs. GoS is an AMAZING game

Look at it this way, its like Nintendo lends Mario or Link to a third party company (we are talking about GOD OF WAR, not an unknow franchise) and the sales go very bad.

Its true that the sales are not complete but its a very discouraging start, specially if you compare it with something like Goldeneye that you can say its also a "nintendo franchise" developed by a third party, a very similar situation than the GoW one. The point that I am trying to make its that they dismissed the Wii for the next project, but didn't do it for the PSP a year and a half ago, and are not taking into account the "wearing off" of the 360 and PS3 in 1.5-2 years, they either are not learning from their mistakes or are forgetting that the development process takes a lot of time.

You've just come in each week claiming the "rain" (pun intended) of dominance was over for PS3 in just a few weeks. He's right in the sense that you're showing almost a fear of PS3 topping the Wii continuosly. I agree with you, Wii will probably beat the PS3 this week (though I don't think it'll beat the 360). But you have had this agenda for over a month now.

I don't fear video game sales Lol! I just go on here because I obviously like games and its interesting(I also look at sales for music and sometimes even movies) It has nothing to do with fear and the fact that you even think that makes me laugh...you can think what you want but I am not that kind of person. I am just predicting and discussing sales like everyone else on here so why is that so terrible to you? Just because my personal opinion is that PS3 won't sell well compared to the 360 and Wii this Holiday is wrong Lol?

I actual find the comedy in how serious you take this, while claiming just to be an analyzer. I didn't say you "feared" this happening. I said it almost comes off as a fear (further complimenting Jordahn's point - which looks to be spot on).

Anyway, PS3 will likely sell less than it's comptetitors this holiday, no argument there. But since it'll be up YoY, has a motion controller in healthy standing right now, and it's biggest exclusive IP still set to release for the holiday, I'm not sure, "it won't sell well compared to the other two", are the proper words.

I don't see what he's so off base about.. PS3 WON'T sell well compared to the other two over the holidays. That's just the way it will be. Xbox 360 will recieve a major boost from Kinect for a little while, not to it should be more affected than the PS3 by the Black Ops boost. Then you have Wii, which is ALWAYS a major seller around the holidays, and now it is starting to have a healthy lineup again, including DCK which should be a major hardware pusher.

PS3 has already had the Move released which hasn't done much, understandably, and doesn't really have much gamewise besides GT5.

I think this holiday it'll be Wii, then 360 right behind it, and PS3 a distant third. However, I do think once the Kinect effect wears off, PS3 will pull ahead of 360 when the dust settles, and will probably have a longer lifespan than the 360. It'll all depend how well devs support them really.

I have been saying that exact same thing for a month now and see what happened...run before you get jumped by crazed PS3 fanboys.

Specifically, Who are the crazed PS3 fanboys and what did they say? I see no fanboyism in this thread. Just a reasonable debate until you brought up fanboys.

see for kinetic to actually push anything, it would need a little thing called kick ass games.  A $150 add on wont do anything with out some really good games pushing IT.

I guess fo many this is the last week either Wii or PS3 will eve be on top of the 360.

The 360 could still win for the week. Kinect launched at the place where it's expected to sell the most, last week. I expect the PS3 to be 3rd, Wii 2nd, and 360 1st when WW is in.


Yes, we do get Kinect numbers in NA this week. Then, yes it's 360 from now on.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now.

Kinect isn't that big, let's calm down. When GT5 releases there won't be such thing as second or third place for PS3. Only first.


Eh, Kinect isn't that big, but it's alot bigger than GT5 that's for sure.

That's the most delusional written comment i've seen in my entire life on this forum.

Either you are just another PS3 fanboy or you're drunk.



Above: still the best game of the year.

Again you can't blame them. The risk is too much for these devs to go to wii for a 'new' project. It's not only them who are thinking this tho considering how poor wii is supported by the 3rd party devs. So yes you really can't blame them for not wanting to develop for wii for a 'new' project, which was what they were trying to say in that interview

Ok, so before Americas numbers come in, you expect to see X360 have WoW growth in line with the season and other consoles?
