no dude
like i just said

those 3 games are 'kings' in their genres

whereas GoW2 will be 'another' shooter on the list voor the 360
the shooter fans are already playing on the 360
that market is quite caught already by the 360

Rock_on_2008 said: Bear in mind the 360 and PS3 are both selling well but the 360 is not selling as well as the PS3. Dropping the price of the 360 in USA around the launch of GTA 4 is a foolish move, people will get 360's and PS3's regardless if there is a price drop. To pick up an extra half million console sales for the sake of a price drop is a wrong move. 360 price drop may come before the launch of MGS 4, probably when Ninja Gaiden 2 arrives on the 360.

 totally agree with you

 But everyone who wants those games already owns a PS3.

why do you think that?

 IDK, Why do you think Gears 2 won't sell console when it'll be the biggest game of holiday 2008? You think PS3 will not sell this holiday because everyone who wants Resistance 2 or Killzone 2 because people who wanted the console picked it up with Call of Duty 4, or that they won't pick them up for LBP because they got it for Ratchet & Clank.

 Same thing happened with Halo 3, people kept saying everyone who wanted it already owned it, then September came and 360 sold 530K. 

It's a load of willies is what it is. Think 360 won't sell better in April/May because everyone who wants GTA has a 360 already? Wrong. 

Think 360 won't sell better in August because everyone who wants GTADLC has a 360 already? Wrong. 

Think 360 won't sell better in November/December because everyone who wants Gears 2 has a 360 already? Wrong. 

 Big games sell systems, no matter how many people you think already own them.

 

look,
the 360 has already the best shooters there are

Halo 3, The Orange Box, Gears of War, Bioshock, Call of Duty 4
that's an amazing shoorter line-up
Gears of War 2 will probably deserve a place amongst them


Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy XIII and Gran Turismo
are a differenty story, they are the biggest franchises of their genre

(not counting MGS vs Zelda, FF/Pokemon, GT/Mario Kart
funny actually now i see this, Nintendo has match-ups that are somehow genre related, but real Nintendoish lol)

anyhow
those games have made genres and are if you like it or not
the next installments of series that have helped create gaming


so you end with




and that's completely right
and the reason why MGS, FFXIII and Gran Tursimo 5 are so needed by Sony
cause they are not just another title on the list
and are certainly not in genres that have already delevoped well this generation, like the shooter genre


in other words
it's diversity in which the most succesfull consoles have succeeded

and don't get me wrong
the 360 library is still certainly superior to that of the PS3 and more diverse
but these three titles are what Sony needs to try shifting the balance back to the Playstation

people who want gt5 ff13 and mgs4 alrdy own a ps3? WRONG

there are still over 50 million people or so who still own a ps2 and r waiting for these games to come to ps3 so they can get it. for example my friends r waiting till gow3 and ff13 come out. they have ps2 and 360.

gran turismo 4 sold 10 million copies. ps3 sold 12 million consoles (rounded) so for exampel those 10 million people didnt buy a ps3 already. impossible. they will wait for a sequel like gt5 to come out then pick up a ps3.

1) So people who want Gears of War 2 already own a 360, but if they want MGS the've waited a year and a half? What crack you smokin'?

 2) People are done waiting on PS3, they've moved on, they're not waiting anymore.

 3) Gran Turismo, like the PS3 is ailing

You seem little confused. No stealth game or Metal Gear solid game have been released on PS3. Gears of Wars is the second title on the 360 and its a shooter it will not move as much hardware as MGS4.

And no Gears of War 2 has been released on the 360, therefore it'll move more hardware than MGS4, because it's a bigger system seller.
