It's funny that with all the "ps3 is doomed" stuff on vgchartz, ps3 games are always "most popular" on the website as well. How ironic

... cause those things really got all there views in a legit way...

 

Actually, if you ask me, its because of the number of people who just want to hate the ps3.

Think about it, most nintendo fans aren't talking about how awesome nintendo's sales is or how the wii will beat the ps2 in 3 years. Instead they're talking about how the ps3 will be canned next year and how sony will die. Easy to say if you're not one of the 180,000 working for them. Think NJ5

Most M$ fans on the other hand are talking about how the exact same thing instead of focusing on their own console. Think Gebx

Why does LBP get so many hits? It's obviously because people like burgles always check up on it to make sure it's not selling so they can find more articles saying the same thing!

So much for Benga's official PS3 is doomed thread.

I need a break from vgc for a while. I should focus on P4

I already knew that. Both 2&3 ended up on Xbox. Enhanced versions at that.

MGS4 is tailored for PS3 though. I just dont see it happening.

This is not true by the way. MGS2 on Xbox had SOLID framedrops, and the game didn't even run at the same framerate as the PS2 version (meaning it sucked). :(



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

If it goes to Wii then I will be very happy.

The problem has nothing to do with the games. PS3 has a couple of amazing games. Sony screwed up the installed base by creating a base of non gamers with gamers. This makes numbers slow and extremely unpredictable. The majority of the hype will be all Sony. However the results prove how it really goes.

I don't get that part. Are you one of those that thrives of "attach ratios" and similar PR info? lol

 

 

Either way the Attach rates Blu Ray sales will rise. However the game sales will become lower than expected because a notable portion of the 17 M+ PS3 owners are non-gamers. Less than 1/4 actually buys games and even more even less buy downloads.

Are you just making figures up?

Although, if this is true, and only around 4 million of the PS3 owners buy games, then damn, those 4 million are buying  freakin' loads of games. Forget hardcore: we're supercore.

I believe he's trying to use attach ratio to make that argument: the PS3 has the lowest one, despite also moving the least amount of units, ergo most of its purchasers are not buying games.

Take it as you will. Personally, I've always thought "tie-ratio" is a load of bunk...

Is that mod-talk for "locky-time"?

It should be.

^^ lol irony, you failed to mention the worst of the worst.

Also, Pristine you make no sense, dozens of people will press f5 continuiously to get multiple hits for thier beloved game, I thought this was common knowledge.

The fact that you knew about the whole F5 thing and I did is very telling indeed.

@Cgi-Quality

 I just want to read about something else other than sony's financial troubles once in a while but thats all we talk about these days. I spend more time sifting through for where to post than actually posting these days. I usually don't react to these things but it's really getting ridiculous lol

 

Yeah we both knew, but doesn't everyone?

Remember around a year ago people were making topics about Halo 3 getting extreme multiple hits per day and people were assuming someone was doing that? Given the amount of fanboys on this site for every console, it's not hard to believe there's one person who has no life willing to do something so.

 

I actually meant to say I didn't know. Who is so hardcore to waste their time pressing f5 over and over just so a game is "most popular" on vgc? wow, just wow

Anyway, I thought LBP was the highest because so many are tracking it's sales and have all kinds of predictions about it.

still, assuming S.T.A.G.E. is right and something like only 8 mil out of 17 mil of ps3 owners play games, it's pretty impressive that it's games are still #1 regardless of the means on a website that only seems to spout only negative info about it. It either means ps3 fans are overtly dedicated to their console or that there still enough interest in the console that calling it doomed is jumping the gun lol

I don't know either, but even since I've lurked this site I knew about it because of people posting about it. Suprising you didn't.

"It either means ps3 fans are overtly dedicated to their console"

This, duh! Who doesn't know that after spending a few weeks at VGchartz? ;o

The highest selling Xbox 360 game is just under 2/4 of installed base which is acceptable. The highest selling Wii game is literally 3/4 of installed base. To be a little less than 1/4 is sub par and means there is something wrong with your installed base.

P.S.

I'm not making up figures. I'm looking at the highest selling games of the system opposed to installed base. It shows true consumer participation.
