You apparently weren't around here in 2006....

I don't get how anyone in their right mind could have called Lair or Heavenly Sword a "PS3 savoir" though. Like how could a lame-ass dragon riding game be a system seller? 

The only games I would have truly called/predicted to be system sellers would be MGS4, GT5, GTA4, FF13 and maybe God of War 3. Nothing else really makes sense.

Heavenly Sword was the most promising PS3 game shown at E3 2006 as Motorstorm's graphics couldn't live up to the trailer of 2005 and Killzone 2 was completely absent. Uncharted wasn't playable at that time and had only a trailer.

Lair was hyped for its graphics and how it would make use of the Cell. Basically it would be the game to put the 360 to shame and show how true next gen games have to look like.

Fair enough. I didn't have a PS3 till Spring 2007 so I can't speak much for 2006. PS3 really did have no games at launch if Lair and Heavenly Sword were supposed to compete with Gears of War and Halo 3.



Your stealth trolling is not pleasing to me, the PS3 does not need saving, period!



BTW I think PS3 needs SAVING from not being need to be SAVED, its no fun anymore....=D



Can't be saved from what? 44 million for a last place console is pretty darn good. Almost more than Xbox and Gamecube combined.

You are probably serious about everything you just said. That's so... you being you, I guess.


Don't you dare talk to Gilga like that, I am here to save you son.

impressive and consistent sales though..as long as the exclusives like uncharted, killzone continue to come..I save my PS3's gaming link. Sales don't save it( hope OP gets it).



I know its a rol thread but, saved from what again? Being third place? It was pretty much assured years ago that PS3 would finish last (even if it ends up with more units sold compared to the X360 due to having a longer life span, which is still iffy). Other than _that_ its fine. The most successful 'failure' ever.

Still, for my money, its the best of the 3 systems. Wii just can't compare for the titles I like, and the X360 ultimately just does not have all the exclusives I require. I'm even willing to wait on the timed exclusives because frankly the ps3 controls are the most comfortable for me.

But this is a rol thread, so PS: It doesn't need saving.

Ahem. I meant to do that.

I've been waiting to make this thread since a couple of weeks, because I wanted to see more numbers and not jump the gun prematurely.

Gran Turismo 5 was the last game left in the long line of PS3 saviors that were named in pretty much every thread concerning hardware sales and future lineups in 2007 and 2008. As time passed by, one game after another failed to do its job of saving the PS3 and now even Sony's by far biggest exclusive couldn't manage to turn things around. So why did Gran Turismo 5 fail to save the PS3? 

The answer is quite simple, really. At this point in time the PS3 just doesn't need to be saved anymore. After a problematic launch period in late 2006/early 2007, Sony slowly, but surely, got its act together and the PS3 started to have healthy hardware and software sales on a regular basis.

Dudez wherez the funniez why no funniez. WHY?  Your usually so funny but I just don't get this joke.
