Fool, the Wii has no system sellers.  Gamepro is always right.

Well can you find where Makingmusic said the DOMANATIONZ stuff that you said in your post? because if not I would say that the reply was just a generalization of certain fanboys' posts, just like yours, and therefore is perfectly suited to be used as a reply.


No I can't, but then I was refferring to Gamepro, who always seem to be convinced that the PS3 is suddenly going to rise up and quickly leave the 360 and then the Wii in it's wake.

Bullshit.  You probably can't even find a Gamepro article that says that any easier than you can find a post from makingmusic saying it.

"We hope you found this list more factual than opinionated, and we're curious to hear your take."


My take is their full of ****, the attachment ratio of the 360 shows that just about everything that comes out sells well over a million.

God of war 3 a system seller but not ninja gaiden 2? What kind of bias is that? Xbox only had 1/5 of the userbase of ps2 and sold about as good as god of war has. Im sure it will sell alot more on 360. Gears of War, Lost Planet, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Dead Rising all sold through alot of copies. You can garantee the sequels will do even more.


Anyways Gamepro is far from a credible and unbiased source.

 

Did you see their previous xbox 360 vs ps3 article where they said multiplatform ports are superior on ps3 like call of duty 4 because it has dedicated servers? which is bias LOL

 

GP ****ing blows, the switch sides all the time, first they were pro 360, then pro wii, then pro PS3..yeh they suck.

Wait, what? Where's your source?

 

Anyways, all this talk about system seller is also completely relative, one game that would absolutely sell me a 360? KI3 (well if it's well done, if they fuck it up like the did PD, then I'll pass).


Actually KI3 is another one. Rare hinted at it 3 months ago.


 They've been "hinting" it since after KI Gold.

Yeah actually now I think about it, the Mass Effect and Bioshock sequels are both due to hit in 2009. The 360 will also see either Halo 4 or Perfect Dark 2 or both.

Halo 4 wouldn't sell that many 360's (except to fans that couldn't buy the console for 3 due to it's high 2007 price), but Perfect Dark 2 would shift some serious consoles if done right.

Im quite confident that bungie is going to revisit the marathon series for their next game. Im kind of glad in a way because ive never played marathon but the concept sounds cool. Also bioshock 2 will most likely be multiplatform. Rare has been busy Banjo and have hinted at revisiting old frachises such as killer instinc. Besides, i dont think anyone wants a perfect dark 2 after the atrocity that was perfect dark 0. And no, perfect dark 2, even done right which could not happen because i believe most of the team left to make up what is now the team developing haze, would not sell systems.

One thing we both can agree on is that not is all rosey in sony land. I dont care who you are, the 360 is still stacked. And im a sony fan for crying out loud.


There were very strong rumours that MS paid for 360/PC exclusivity about a month ago. At this stage there is no reason to think the sequel will hit the PS3 given how Microsoft went after the first game.


 While that's true, the money hat would have to be bigger this time around given how succesful the first game was.

They forgot white knight chronicles and wardevil for ps3.

For 360 they forgot huxley.

They seem to be harping on the games from notable developers (or first party offerings). Level-5 (WKS), while they make great games, haven't exactly been notable for big sales. The other two are even more of a wildcard.


I guess but if alan wake can be on the list I think WKS should be too. But to be fair they did not have cry on for the 360 on the list as well, or tales of V, or Infinite undiscovery.


 Gamepro fail with their article. Too many omissions of some extremely good titles on both consoles have been left out.

I'd think that Splinter Cell Conviction is a system seller... Alan Wake could surprise as well and I'd call it an unknown, much like inFamous.

 I thought it was obvious that I was simply capturing their attitude rather than drawing anything resembling a direct quote, still........

How about a mulitplatform game analysis that goes against anything other more reputable sites say and by their own admission neutralized some 360-specific in-game advantages before distributing scores........

PS3 exclusive list should be boosted to around 20 exclusives with the inclusion of: White Knight Chronicles, War Devil, New Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted 2
