Oh yes Euro gamer is so smart, using NORTH AMERICAN NPD DATA, seeing as the PS3 is doing its WORST in NA, if you were to compare attach rates Worild wide which is what really matters, they would need to keep there mouth shut.

 i think its will get worst for ps3 if they compare the world wide ratio.

@NNN

I dont think so.. the ps3 has a much higher attach ratio in europe, and a descent attach ration in japan (comparing to the U.S ofcourse).

maybe in europe but not in japan .. also the 360 ratio is close to ps3 one in europe.

Animal Crossing. ~10 million
Zelda ~ 5 million

I just named 2 games that can compete nicely with GT5 (~10 million) and FFXIII (less than 5 million given the now multiplatness)

@Leo-J.... actually using NPD should help the PS3 ratio... America in general buys more games per console than the other regions, and it's easier to gain a high attach ratio with a small userbase. In Europe the PS3 ratio is probably slightly above the Wii, (although both will be lower than in the USA) which would bring the Worldwide figure into parity, but then in Japan the PS3 has a dismal ratio (and Wii is not spectacular either, but a good bit better than the PS3s) admitedly the low userbase of both in Japan means it affects WW  less, but I think it is fairly obvious that (discounting Wii Sports) the PS3 and Wii have very equal ratios (within .1 of a game per console)

Yeah, and last year at this time people were saying "Wait until MGS4 and LBP come out!! Then the PS3 will show everybody!!"  These stupid predictions are made about the PS3 constantly, and so far none of them have ever come true.  The LBP launch was ruined by a recall/potential publicity stunt, the R2 launch was WAY overshadowed by the Gears 2 launch.  2008 was another weak year for the PS3.  Sony just insists on continually NOT making progress.

1. MGS4 sold fantastically.

2. LBP had a 60k increase over its first week.

3. Because Resistance 2 is also on 360, am I right?

4. Weak year for PS3 because it outsold the 360 WW for 3/4 of it, until PS3 restocking and 360 price drop. Oh god, fucking terrible. It should've been like 2007, when it was trailing in sales.

5. 2009 has KZ2, GoW 3, Final Fantasy 13 (Japan), WKC (the west), maybe GT5, and probably lots of others I forgot to mention. So I suggest you wait.

plz no troll .. i dont want other thread for me to be locked.

Honestly, the attach rate has little to do with the game that are being released on the PS3.

The attach rate issue has to do with one thing (and this is the joint opinion of my clan, and we all have both systems, and most of us all 3).

The PSN, while free, is not very good.

XBOX Live is much more social than the PSN and is much more user friendly.  The reason this is important is because 9 times out of 10, I buy the same game as my clan, and we all find it easier to communicate on LIVE.

Now as for me personally, I prefer the PS3 on any game that requires fast movement (such as the COD series) because I think the analog sticks on the Sixaxis is much more fluid and that allows me to duck and move much faster.  And I play shooters that require slower more precise movement on my 360.  The 360 analog sticks are stiffer and more accurate, and helps me in games like R6V2.

Part of the attach rate problem is also due to the reason a lot of people originally bought their PS3... as a Blu-ray player.  To be honest with you, that's the only reason I bought it originally, but have since of course realized it's a really awesome gaming machine as well.  But me, like many others, bought the PS3 after the 360, and most of us dual adopters have more friends in our network because we carried those friends over from the original XBOX (via LIVE).

As for the arguement about attach rate, Wii VS PS3, I have no doubt that the PS3 will have a higher attach rate at some point.  I also own a Wii, and outside of Wii Sports, find most of the games to be about as fun and complicated as a Tiger handheld game system.  I think it's a shame that Nintendo has allowed their part of the market to be flooded with simple minded, and frankly, boring games.

A) Sony needs to work on the PSN immediately... make it more 'bright' and social.

B) Take advantage of the superior specs of the PS3... there is no reason that a console that is as technically impressive as the PS3 to make games that look no better than the competition.

 This.
