Forums - Sales - XBox 360 - 40M Units Sold by the End of Next Year!!!

anybody except a xbox fanboy knows 360 is at its peak year and will struggle but last 1 more year with good not great titles. It's like a boxing match the oponnent throws all the punches in the first round and feels fatigue by the last round while the other oponnent takes him out K.O. last round. 360 did everything in its power to stay ahead of sony when all sony had to do was release 1 game mgs 4. ms payed for gta 1st day, dlc, came out a yr earlier, bought off ff13, took devil may cry 4, did a lot of stuff to come this far but now what? its done you cant just immitate other companies and try taking their past exclusive titles, you g2a invest in creating new ones. Gears was a good example of that. All of sony's exclusives were new to 360 fans while all these games are basically sequels to ps3 owners. You cant buy what hasnt been created yet which sony is doing right now. And in reality ps3 hasnt even begun trying. The day ps3 takes over all the xbox fanboys are going to shutup and realize this is the damn truth. everybody knows it that's why 90% of the posts in this thread are saying 40mill lifetime sales not by end of next year.

Well, I do have to admit that you sure didn't do a very good job with your last post.

How's this?

You're talking about the past Paul, lol. Living in the past, hoping for the future, bro.

You're leaving out major information, like how the 360 still has way more 90 and 80 plus games on metacritic and gamerankings, than the PS3.

Like how Resistance 2 and LBP flopped in sales, and R2 flopped in reviews.

Like how NPD came out yesterday, and the 360 outsold it 2 to 1.

Like how the PS3 can't sell software.

Like how you listed all the good exclusives you could think of on the PS3 in 4 lines.

Like how Gears 2 sold more than Gears 1, and how it's a better game than Gears 1, obviously. That said, I'm not sure Resistance 2 is better than the demo to Gears 1. It's certainly arguable. Having played both games, I can comment. You can't, sir.

Here is the truth, Paul. Metacritic doesn't matter. It isn't an indication of quality. That said, what you do is called "cherrypicking." You know what that means? It means that you don't consistantly refer to one of them, you switch them around to make it appear that the PS3 games were reviewed better than they actually were, and the 360 games, worse. When metacritic doesn't agree with you, you use IGN, when IGN doesn't agree with you, you use gamerankings, when gamerankings doesn't agree, you use something else. It's all just talk. Reviews mean very little already, and I can make any game look like the best game ever by cherrypicking reviews....if I'm talking to idiots that is. If I'm talking to intelligent people, they recognize the cherrypicking for what it is. Bias.

Sales matter. LBP, R2, MGS4, and all those games don't really have great sales, bro. The PS3 is increasing its lead, but what are those PS3 owners buying? Certainly not LBP or R2.

You see, as long as the 360 sells software better, equal, or slightly worse than the PS3, it'll get equal treatment in the marketplace from 3rd parties.

What you're saying is so impossible that it's a joke. You're so mislead and stubborn, that it's impossible to communitcate to you how incorrect your assumptions are. Your brain is just hard-wired to not listen to reason.

Every prediction you've ever made hasn't came true, and buddy, I could quote a few. If you predict something, it actually increases the chances that it won't happen.

The PS3 exclusives of 08 have came an went, and guess what. 2008 wasn't the year of the PS3. Those games didn't change anything, and most of them are currently being seen as failures by Sony. It doesn't matter what the metacritic score is, if the game loses money.

I just don't see where you're coming from. The PS2 was the best gaming system of its day. It monumentally blew away its competition with games and sales.

Now the PS3 is in dead last, 3rd place for software and hardware sales. It's struggling there. It's not in a prone position to take second. Days are grim. The Xbox 360 is leading the way in console exclusive ratings, according to your prescious metacritic and IGN. The best games on the PS3, according to them, sold ranging from fair to horrible.

The console is still unbelievably over-priced, and now you're telling me that the only way the PS3 is gonna take second place is if Microsoft puts out a new console next year!?

Yet, you spin it to make it seem like the PS3 is blowing every other console out of the water with its success? How. Explain. Explain how the PS3 isn't a failure.

 

Headshot

Headshot,doubt it. I'm fine with the fact that all of my predictions could be wrong. But the 360 crowd responds like a pack of frightened rabbits at the fact that a person could even utter the statement that Sony might come back in this gen.

This is all I have to say for between the two consoles one has.

Absolute dominance in shooters.

Absolute dominance in WRPGs.

Since the above make up a fair proportion of sales this generation its quite significant.

Is it going to change next year? No.

1. Bioware can fart and produce an awesome RPG. Its GOTY if they actually do it to their standards

2. Bungie is releasing again. The world stops to look whenever Bungie releases a game.

Games like Killzone 2 aren't going to change things significantly. Killzone 2 is 1.5 years and two holiday seasons too late to effect a big change. Awesome game though, definately could be shooter of the year.

Most of this talking about games is crap and you should know it, look at the Wii. People buy what their friends have, what they've played etc. Microsofts console is winning that race and thats all they need to do to sell good numbers next year. Good multiplat games just dilute exclusives. Since COD WAW and R2 are both about as good as each other but one has the better known name, COD is going to outsell R2 noone who hasn't got a PS3 is going to care about that game.



Tease.


"Bioware can fart and produce an awesome RPG. Its GOTY if they actually do it to their standards"

They've yet to produce a game that topped games in the Final Fantasy series, and doesn't what you say about COD and R2 apply here? Only people with a 360 will care about Bioware's next 360 game, but FFXIII will sell much more because it is both on the PS3 and the 360.

Knights of the Old Republic, and Baulder's Gate II are equal to most Final Fantasy games in quality.

 

Also, Bioware's next game is a multiplat on the PS3, PC, and 360, called Dragon Age: Origins, or something like that, and yes Bioware is an excellent RPG maker, and everyone cares about their games, except Xbox 360 and PC haters, and even most of them acknowledge Bioware's pwnage.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I love my 360 and mac/pc, but i could take or leave bioware though i could say the same about ff, though nice to see i have the choice to buy it..... as for rpgs, i want valkyrie chronicles for the 360 damnit

"Also, Bioware's next game is a multiplat on the PS3, PC, and 360, called Dragon Age: Origins"

Looks like that kind of negates the 360's advantage of exclusively having the next Bioware game coming to consoles.
