You are right for the wrong reasons.

All that money will be needed to counter Microsoft's RPG dominance that month.

Fable 2 and Fallout 3 exclusive content..........

 both Fable 2 and Fallout 3 will be overshadowed by WKC coming out in japan in december then ported to NA+EU later

So two established IP's that are WRPG's will be overshadowed by the release of a JRPG three months later in another region that is brand new and noone in the West has heard of?

Right, I guess that puts me in my place then.

fallout 3 is multiplat sales will be near similar on ps360. with that said WKC > fable 2 even though it comes out months later. so therefor not all of that money will  be needed to counter Fable 2 and Fallout 3 "exclusive content" (seriously exclusive content is a joke)

Fable 2 will easily outstrip WKS sales wise, and will almost certainly be of far higher quality.

Fail.

 

lol!!! i am going to save that post for future reference, thanks for making my day with that post :]

 

Nooooo! Do not do battle with the Starcraft!

There are so many games coming out in October on PS3... both exclusives and multiplatform that i believe Sony should spend entire marketing budget in October, this way they might be able to get a 50/50 split on multiplatform games sales..

and this time they have a real chance of achieving this... but only if they make more and more people realise that they have some great exclusives too so the buyers will get more on PS3.. and this can only be achieved by great marketing..

In Europe, they should pay EA and Konami to have Playstation 3 logo and stuff (Boxart at the front and what not) plastered at the end of both FIFA 09 and PES 09 tv and poster adverts. Then advertise their own games only until the start of the next finanical year.



Hmm, pie.

davygee on 10 September 2008

So what's coming out in October:-

  • FIFA 09
  • PES 2009
  • Saints Row 2
  • Far Cry 2
  • BioShock
  • Dead Space
  • LittleBigPlanet
  • Fallout 3
  • Silent Hill: Homecoming

What about November:-

  • Mirror's Edge
  • Prince of Persia
  • Guitar Hero: World Tour
  • Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
  • Call of Duty: World at War
  • Tomb Raider: Underworld
  • Resistance 2

I reckon there will be a huge push for LittleBigPlanet, Motorstorm and Resistance with other adds for Mirror's Edge, Far Cry and PES.



Prediction (June 12th 2017)

Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.

PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)

PS4 Pro $349 (October 2017)

Oooh... Fallout 3 exclusive content!  I wonder what it is!?!?  Too bad no one knows :/  That's going to make many people buy the 360 version.  A grab bag of content.  Who knows what ur gonna get!

Fallout exclusive content? u are kidding aren't u? since wen do consoles sell due to Exclusive downloadable content?
Oh mum mum please by me a 360 because they will be releasing Exclusive content for it!!! ... ermm i don't think so.

Sony just needs to market 2 games: R2 and LBP
If they have extra money, they can start advertising home

if they were really clever they could make an advert mocking the 360 like the mac and MS advert. After all, the 360 is the same to the ps3 what the pc is to the mac.

Can you explain to me how it's possible to spin that advert notion in favor of the PS3? The only real comparison in a gaming discussion between a Mac and a PC is the simple fact that the Mac has no games and the PC has tons. Is that a subtle hint trying to mock the PS3's gaming library?

LOLLL. Keep dreaming starcraft. WKC >>>> Fable 2. PS3 has better exclusive games than X360.
