I'm sorry, I just stop taking people seriously when they use a dollar sign in place of an S.

Sony hasn't been defeated. Its just that they don't have much updates and games to compete with 360 and wii this year. The only games that are probably the highlight of ps3 this year is Resistance 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4. Even though they updated their online service, it still hasn't improved that much compared to the 360's amazing dashboard and improved online service. Not to mention the highly anticpated exclusive title Gears of War 2. 2009 might look like a better year for the ps3. If you mean that sony has been defeated for 2008? Then i would have to say yes. They had some huge highlights this year but the wii and 360 overall had a better year than the ps3.

K CGI I just assumed it hadnt boost sales too much cause they are now falling further behind 360 who is now normally beating them in weekly sales

Most PSOne, PS2 and now XB360 buyers waited for them to be less expensive before buying them, even though there were competitor consoles with lower price. XB360 survived to an half wasted one year lead and 9 months being third in weekly sales and now it did its not great, but more than good comeback, as long as PS3 offers something different from the competition (edit: and a wide enough SW offer), and it does, it will have the same chance once its price is cut. Even without a price drop PS3 units sold will easily exceed 20million after Xmas, not a bad start for the second phase of its life, considering that during its first Xmas it wasn't sold yet in its strongest market.

Anyhow a 50€ cut in EU, where its price is higher than justified by VAT, would have been welcome and wouldn't have caused losses as a $50 cut in USA.

VGChartz is not an accurate representation of the entire gaming population. If it was, how many copies would this game have sold?

I don't see how it's a 'new experience' at all. That 'experience' has been around as long as gyms have been around. Not everybody is going to like every game. Example:

As it says in the link, MGS4 has 594 owners on this site. It has sold 3.48 million copies WW. This is out of 16.5 million PS3 owners in the world. This game got a 10 from IGN, 10 from Gamespot and currently holds a 94 on metacritic. So clearly, in reviews, MGS4 > Wii Fit.

And yet people do not buy it. They judge it before playing it, they say it has 'too many cutscenes' without ever watching one of them, they say the controls are bad without ever holding a Dual Shock, they say it isn't good without ever experiencing how incredible it really is.

I suppose they're not hardcore either.

The only game on the PS3 console with the power to do that would be Gran Turismo 5. That would sell consoles like hell. But it wouldn't sell 400 dollar consoles very well at all.

Were these consoles $300, in GT5's release week, the effect would be perhaps double the effect MGS4 had. 

He said it wasn't coming out in 2010, it was coming out 'sooner than you think' so does that mean Q3 2009?

I very much doubt Versus XIII will come out before then. If FFXIII had remained exclusive, that would have sold a lot of consoles, and if GTA4 had remained timed exclusive, that would have given the PS3 quite a boost as well.

In fact, if you look at the top 10 PS2 sellers, you get this:

1) GTA (multiplat)

2) Gran Turismo (exclusive)

3) GTA (multiplat)

4) GTA (multiplat)

5) Gran Turismo (exclusive)

6) Final Fantasy (multiplat)

7) NFS (I was shocked too)

8) NFS (after Undercover? I don't think so.)

9) MGS2 (exclusive)

10) Kingdom Hearts (nobody really knows at this point)

By the way, the brackets refer to the PS3 sequel, not the game.

Is not MGS4 basically the same as the previous MGS games?  What about MGS4 is revolutionary in terms of gameplay for the industry.

Wii-Fit isn't something that is the same as a gym.  The balance control scheme is new... and there is plenty of non related gym stuff involved with it.

As for VGchartz not being an accurate representative... good point.

The people and VGchartz are far more hardcore and serious about videogame sales then most people.  Which goes to my point.  Not against it.

New example: Shadow of the Colossus. Shouldn't anybody who is 'hardcore' have played that?

It's about as far from traditional as is possible. It can't really be put into words.

If Wii Fit is revolutionary, Singstar is revolutionary. Guitar Hero is revolutionary. They are not for everyone, they are aimed at a specific audience.
