I'm surprised PS3 fans are content with SOCOM 4's performance. If Motorstorm's EMEAA performance is any indicator of how it'll do next week in the Americas, they'll have to spin it like a propeller. No comments regarding how the 'best' version of Portal 2 is being outsold by the vastly inferior X360 version. Guess Newell can only pucker up so much. BTW, does Conduit 2 transmit leprosy?


Valve games are more established on the 360. They only just started suporting ps3 again ;) 



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3

It is because of Jacob Mezel IMO.

I know you're probably just joking on this one...

But on the point of that, does Source even help ioi with the numbers, or does ioi do all that on his own?

If anyone knows?

Doesn't really matter if you recall ioi or Bunga-Bunga posts from forum they always were extremly pro Wii and full of love for blue ocean strategy.

So it's all fault of those expanded market casual gamers that they fail to buy Nintendo machines at the rate our admins predict ;)

What have Berlusconi and orgies to do with Wii?  O-)

Your completely ignoring how fucked up MS launch is or maybe you just don't know.

AS for portal 2 maybe just maybe because a huge percentage of its sales comes from NA which 360 has a lot more console userbase ever thought of that? or maybe because its a FPS which generally sells more on 360  just like how fighting games sells better on ps3? in either case I don't see why make a big fuss about it? I don't see you making a big fuss on how MK sold more on PS3 than 360 I wonder why....hiden agenda is my guess.

And who's launching what now? SOCOM 4, an exclusive, ended substantially behind BOTH versions of Portal 2 and MK. If this is the kind of performance SON¥ fans expect from their exclusives, I've no problem with that. Portal 2 was touted by Newell as the 'best' version when he took the stage at PlayStation's conference, he made a point about it. He wanted people to know that the PS3 version would include Steam and a free copy of Portal 2 for PC/Mac. At the end, it didn't matter much. X360 owners felt stronger about purchasing an inferior version. I didn't mention MK because I felt Kratos would be a big draw for PS3 owners and help it sell better from the start.

WTF? not every exclusive needs to sell more than MP games just because their "exclusive" if that was the case then whats your excuse for 360 exclusive that doesn't outsell multiplats? Im sure theres plenty to name......

So what if portal 2 ps3 version was favored by gabe? and FYI even if 360 had special characters for MK it would still get outsold by ps3 version same goes for JRPG's despite only being timed exclusive on 360 still sold FAR more on ps3 got an excuse for that?

What does Dark Souls have to do with Valve?

Dark Souls is the sequel to Demon's Souls which is a PS3 exclusive. Chibi's thinking is that From Software's latest offering will sell better on the PS3. Or something.

Although you're correct on your first point, I still don't see how you find SOCOM 4's sales encouraging; it's behind BOTH versions of BOTH games during the same week of release. That hardly happens on the X360. Like I said on another post, I expected Kratos to outsell the no-show. As for JRPG timed exclusives, fine. For other timed exclusives: ME2.

Dark Souls is not a sequel to Demon's Souls (which was made clear by the devs):

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2011/03/11/dark-souls-not-the-sequel-to-demons-souls-miyazaki/

From your link:

The second game from From Software’s Miyazaki, dubbed Dark Souls, is seen as a spiritual follow-up but the creator is keen to establish clear differences between the two.  Speaking to Edge this month (issue 226) he says “Dark Souls is not the sequel to Demon’s Souls,” making it clear that the two aren’t quite as related as some might think.

Technically speaking your right. My point still stands however.

It hardly happens at all, but these things can happen. What about last year when Alan Wake released next to Red Dead Redemption (just one major title)? I'm not saying SOCOM 4 performed as well as I'd hoped, but none of the 3 consoles are immune to this type of situation, and when it does happen, it's rare.

Yes, it happens, and when it happens, it's disappointing.

But your point is factually incorrect, so I don't see how it can stand. Similar situation: HEAVY RAIN was a spiritual successor to Indigo Prophecy, but it was not a sequel. Dark Souls is probably inspired by Demon's Souls in some way, but it isn't a sequel at all.

There will likely be an actual Demon's Souls 2 and it will never be on anything but a PlayStation.

My point is on whether or not a developer or publisher who has traditionally favored one console, as is the case with From Software, has a hard time selling as much on a new one. HEAVY RAIN is exclusive so it doesn't apply. As for Demon's Souls 2 remaining exclusive, remember FFXIII.
