Forums - Sony - Who else expects PS3 to start overselling 360 again when Killzone2 comes ou

damkira on 10 January 2009

KillZone 2 will sell moderately well, but not enough to break even. It certainly won't be a system seller. The only potential system-seller coming out for the PS3 would be Gran Turismo 5, and that may be too little too late.

Let me do the equation:

 

Gears of War graphics < Awesome killzone 2 graphics = shiny mmm interesting {Crysis}

 

Now it makes sense and its inside the physics and math rules.

 

 Yeah I guess Gears 1 isn't up to par with Killzone 2 and Crysis. but this is for thinking Killzone 2 is even close to Crysis:

Me expects, you?

It is totally illogical to think PS3 which has been selling so so so much less than 360 for the last few months will suddenly start selling more because of Killzone 2.  Aren't PS3 fans tired of saying wait until GT5P GTA4 MGS4 Resistance 2 LBP Killzone 2 (and then GT5 and then FFXIII).  Killzone may result in PS3 outselling 360 for a couple of weeks but no way in hell is it going to be on a continuous basis.

If you are saying when Killzone 2 comes out there is going to be a price drop then yes it is possible.  But the game on its own.  No chance.

I didn't said Killzone 2 is on par with Crysis... Because it doesn't.

Not being patronising but I figure somebody should help you out.

Depends on how the sales for the next week and the week after that is. Can't really say to what level the sales for both consoles will drop at this point.

No matter what, if it's only for this game, it only has a shot for 1 week, nothing more, and even then it would need to be relatively close to the xbox already, unless HUGE amounts of people are buying a PS3 for this game (I know of two to three, but that's marginal)

no,,,PS3 needs a price cut badd.

fuk the base price is $400 even though he console is 2 years old.

If you don't buy a ps3 with mgs4 (which is a bigger franchise than kz) why would you buy it now? (in economic crisis, february...). Maybe kz can catch some fps gamers but I don't think it will make ps3 outsell 360.

Anyway we will see and discuss...

edit: KZ2 will reduce the distance in sales for sure



I know... my english sucks

I don't think KZ2 change the momentum the 360 has over the PS3. The PS3 needs a price cut and for Sony's sake they better hope MS is blowing smoke with their comments about being price competitive in the event of PS3 price cut this Spring fall.

 

 this (and fixed)

The word is outsell, just so you know.

And to answer your question, no. It's not an established IP with a large fanbase, it won't make the PS3 outsell the 360. Gran Turismo 5 will, God of War III might, Jak and Daxter: TLF might, Trico hopefully will. I'd say those are pretty much the only ones, and GT5 will propel it above Wii for that week as well.
