North America has adopted the 360 as the main HD console. I don't think there's a turning back now for NA. |
I agree with you. I'm not sure if all the Kraots, Solid Snakes, GTs and killzones can save the PS3 from last place in america now.

I'm pretty sure Kratos, Snake, GT, Killzone, Jak and Ratchet, along with a price cut, can turn the tide in America. It's not over yet, but Sony needs to act quickly. Killzone 2 will set the wheel turning,

Sorry but this is the fantasy land stuff i was talking about yesterday. This year has seen a major strong line up of games for the PS3. Games that have very high profile and appeal to most audiences. Those games you mention have nothing over what the PS3 has seen this year in MGS4,GTA4,COD5,LBP,Resistance 2,Warhawk,Haze,GT5:Prologue etc.. etc.. To think Killzone 2 will do better then those games is just pure laughable. There is nothing now in the PS3 locker that can compete with any of those games. Killzone 2 is a game being hyped up as the next killer app but i have seen it being played and was not as impressed as i was watching COD4. The previews are very mixed. Remember Resistance 2 was meant to be the next best game wasen't it?
And this is the problem. People have to look for excuses as to why the PS3 is doing so badly. They have to find something that will turn the tide. When they just can't accept that it is doing badly because people don't want it as much as they think they do. The only way PS3 is getting back ahead of the 360 is by having a massive price cut to bring it in line with current 360/Wii prices and a total image overhaul. Its image right now is worse then a bunch of nerds trying it on with the prom queen.
So while these numbers for the PS3 are very bad if you take the 360 and Wii out of the picture and just look at the numbers your see they are in line with the PS3's average projection. The PS3 is doing as well as it has done. But the 360 has started to now pick up pace and pick up some of the Wii sales. This was expected. So seeing the 360 sales is not a surprise at all. The question is if they can keep it in stock because the demand now is huge.

First of all, he already mentioned "Snake", meaning MGS4 is already in his equation.
Second of all, how can GT5 not beat GT5:P?
Thirdly, you are saying that Killzone 2 will not do better than the likes of Haze? You are entitled to think that the game isn't impressive, but I have yet to hear from a beta tester of the multiplayer alone, who didn't think it was great.
Fourthly, when we compare Killzone 2 to all the games you listed, why shouldn't it be able to? MGS4 is a niche game (with a large fanbase albeit), GTA4 and CoD5 are multiplay games, both with LBP and Resistance 2 we can say that we have no real idea where they are going to end up. Warhawk is doing good, but I think Killzone 2 has every chance to outsell it. Mentioning Haze simply robs you of credibilty, and GT5:P is a demo for a super popular driving series. The way I see it, Killzone 2 could end up selling more than all these titles, and I don't even sound deluded!
