Sly, LBP Karting and All Stars arent enough to compete with Halo 4.


And Last of Us was...? Really...?


those 3 no, but with Last of Us Sony had a combined chance. 4 PS3 exclusives vs 1 360. Gang up effect. 

But without that game, the other 3 wont have much of a shot. But Sly and All Stars arent technically exclusive. I would still count them but lets be honest theres still a ton of exclusive nuts out there. 

The way you are seeing things. Angry birds pwns them all. 

I see things as 360 vs PS3. Always have. Therefore Angry birds can do whatever it wants and has no effect on my view

Than i have to respectfully say that your arguements are moot points. 

Well respectfully my origional argument is that without TLOU in 2012, Sonys biggest games just dont have the system selling, buzz, or sales potential of Halo 4 alone. I hardly think thats moot but to each their own. 

Im done with this thread. Overall im surprised Sony let this game slip this year. It just seemed right to release it holiday 2012. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you by saying the only real challenge for Halo 4 is COD and maybe to a lesser extent MOH

?. To disagree with me is saying those 3 games have a shot. Instead you dodged that, implying my prediction is correct. 

My greater argument is that these games are helping their core console. Last of Us, combined with the other 3, had a great shot at spiking PS3 sales this holiday as well as selling more combined then Halo 4. 

COD just helps the 360 argument. Theres always 2 million more people who buy it for 360. It tends to give 360 only a sales spike, and the two fanbases (Halo and COD) are different enough that they actually coexist on Live. COD will sell more, but Halo 4 sales will hardly be hindered.

Either way, you deflected this convo from 360 vs PS3 to 360 vs 360. 

No, I disagreed with you because I was saying those 3 wouldn't challenge Halo 4 because it was a no contest.

I mentioned COD to say if you want to challenge Halo 4, bring COD or MOH to the fray.

Not everything has to be about 360 vs PS3, I noticed you do that in just about everything you post in and yes you live up to your name but still there's more to gaming than sales.

and just for kicks I would like to point out that Angry birds was released on the PS3...

There are a handful of good multiplat titles too, namely Dishonored and Assassin's Creed III, and of course the annual Call of Duty.

We can still hope for some very late announcements or release date confirmations.

Nothing compared to the last couple of years it seems.

We have to have a slow year occasionally, or the great years lose all meaning.

This time last year, 2012 was looking fantastic, but many of those games have been delayed to 2013.

Now 2013 is looking fantastic, so hopefully we won't see the same thing happening again.

And Far Cry 3, slightly earlier on, in early September. So it's really the year of the PS360 multiplat.
