Dunno what to compare this to...Lair?

The best part is the fact that Tales sales in Japan alone this year will will be higher than any RPG PS3 has in Japan...in a market that xbox 360 has 1/4 the user base ps3 has.

Yeah they definitely should consider making games for the Wii as well, since its got the largest marketshare, and costs less to develop for =D

Selective? Just a tad!!

Heres a test for you, put the top 4 PS3 exclusives so far againt the top 4 360 exclusives so far. Should be a good comparison.. btw I havent checked.. I'll leave it to you. And yes, 360 exclusive DOES mean console exclusive - so you can include gears.

 

Xbox 360

Halo 3- 8.17 million Gears of War- 5.22 million Forza Motorsport- 3.99 million

PS3

Motorstorm- 3.44 million Metal Gear Solid 4- 3.12 Resistance Fall of Man- 3.06 million

 

And yes, i only picked 3 because i sense the comparison speaks for itself

 

you really cant compare Gears to Metal Gear in terms of sales, give Metal Gear Solid 4 a holiday season and then compare the two in sales

 

I can co mpare actually. gears was released when the 360 had a considerably smaller install base than the PS3 had when MGS4 launched.

But if it makes you happy, give it some more time - it still wont overtake Gears.

 

 

I will hold you to your word. ;)

 Yeah, compare a new IP to a series with more hype and anticipation than the return of christ.

 

How do you feel about comparing possible christmas sales of gears 2 VS MGS4?

If you consider the 360 had 12 months (15 in Europe) longer on the market and had 7m units on the market before the PS3 even hit, then the PS3 compares very favourably.

See below:

  360 PS3
1 Halo 3 - 8.17m Motorstorm - 3.44m
2 Gears of War - 5.22m Metal Gear Solid 4 - 3.12m
3 Forza Motorsport 2 - 3.99m Resistance: Fall of Man - 3.06m
4 Mass Effect - 2m Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - 1.98m
5 Saints Row - 1.94m Uncharted Drake's Fortune - 1.74m
6 Dead Rising - 1.76m Ratchet & Clank Future - 1.30m
7 Crackdown - 1.47m Heavenly Sword - 1.16m
8 Project Gotham Racing 3 - 1.46m Hot Shots Golf - 0.64m
9 Viva Pinata - 1.46m Ridge Racer 7 - 0.64m
10 Perfect Dark Zero - 1.42m Dynasty Warriors 6 - 0.59m

 

 It was around 5 million. Pretty much the same like today



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Gears 3 going multi? You're delusional, man. Stop kidding yourself and being so biased. These numbers are flawed for a number of reasons. First of all, you're not taking into account the regional difference. For example, ToV so far only has japanese numbers, which is MS's weakest market by far. So stop trying to find good reasons to hate on the 360 and try being reasonable instead.

Leave me out of it.

 

OT I think LO sold well enough for what it was, NG 2 sold okay given it was only okay (IMHO) and a lot of the others weren't great in one way or another.

 

Still, ironically your basic point is nonetheless correct - unless you're getting well paid for the privilage, or are realy sure you have the next Gears, Halo, MGS, etc. you don't want to go exclusive with an HD game at this point in time as if you take DMC4, GTA IV, COD4, etc. as pointers your are going to roughly half your potential sales.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

NNN2004 on 03 September 2008

its one of this reasons ...

microsoft paid for this exclusives or VG give us a wrong numbers.

so you are agreeing that he has a valid point
