No its the same thing that happened with Halo 3. Some people got it as soon as possible because they knew they wanted Halo 3. Others waited until the months before and after release to get their 360's. Same thing with the PS3. Those games are already selling systems and will sell a great deal more when those games are released. Its like this, GAMES dont really sell system, like a library of games. Its a GAME that sells systems, then a library supports it. So, the PS3 has lots of games that sell systems (you know a list) then it has games like Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, COD4, Rock Band, Warhawk that support the system. The Xbox360 has Halo 3, Gears of War that sell systems. Even though BioShock and Mass Effect were brilliant games, most people pick those up because they bought the system for the other two, and found out that those games were good OR they were about to buy Halo 3 in a month, but heard about that game it bought it early. I don't think many people bought an XBox360 solely for Mass Effect or Bioshock.

Well said,
The best PS3 games right now are all quality compliementary/support games, where their sales will go up as the install base increases. Like I'm sure there are lots of people that want to play Uncharted or R&C, but not enough so that they need to buy a PS3 at this very moment. But they will pick it up once they do get the system.
By the way things are going ps3 will catch up to 360 by the end of 08

Try to guess which ones.
Hint: Most games under 500k (ports under 250k) |
I wrote a post earlier this week about how much games cost to make. I have read that most "Average"(R&C/Uncharted I believe are above average titles) PS3 and 360 titles cost average $ 15 million(this data from a recent BBC article) to make. If you include marketing, that is a whole different animal. Game developers make roughly $15-$20 off of each copy sold from most places I researched. Even at a high profit return(assume the Dev gets $20 per game) it would average for a game to sell 750k (if they have NO marketing what so ever) to break even. The 500k number gets thrown around but I havent seen much evidence backing it up.
There are a lot of games losing money at the moment for the PS3/XBOX platform, but they will turn a profit in time. If you notice games are taking a lot longer to drop in price now a days, most likely due to their profit turning timetable bueing much longer.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Great Job PS3. Ignoring comments from Gballzack that it's selling solely because it's a Blu-Ray Player (By that token, we can say the Wii is selling because it has more casual games, XBOX 360 is selling because it has lots of games out), it's selling for a multitude of reasons. The attac rate for the system is much better than say, the PSP, so it's at least selling games with the console. And it's also lower priced, and it has brand. I think the reason it's selling is a combo of the three. Not just because it's a blu-ray player. But I digress. Who on this forum would actually want to hear good news about Sony?
Microsoft can't compete when it somes to worldwide sales. maybe next gen, but I think it's safe to say they're going to come in last this gen. I'm not quite sold on the fact that Sony will pass MS this year, but around mid 2009 I think is more ideal.
Soon
Only
Nintendo
Yields
Ps3 will overtake 360 this year. Then the true battle will be on. I think even HOME is going to amaze people and appeal to girls and casuals.
Nintendo has this year, then will have to yield to Sony :D in 2009 :D

End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil

Can I coin a new acronym for this forum?
DTM - Do The Maths.
The PS3 can't overtake the 360 this year, unless Microsoft drops out of the console business very soon.
