Ok, then why is MGS4 sitting at 3.89mill sales, and MGS3 is at 4.02mill when the userbases are VASTLY different in #s?

because the real userbase of the ps2 is way smaller because of replacement units?

Because MGS has a strongly established Playstation userbase, Star Ocean 4 did not....

Are you now reversing the age-old argument of Sony fans that titles will sell better on the console branded with a name they know?

What makes you so certain the JRPG genre is dying? We've yet to see a HUGE JRPG launch the likes of a FF or DQ! If one of those release with less than stellar launches/sales, you may have a point.

I don't play JRPGs, so I could be wrong here, but isn't what the genre needs not a huge game, but a good game?

congrats Killzone, great sells in Europe....success no doubt, and congrats Halo Wars...nice sales for a RTS....

@ bad

Agreed, NA is going to be a rough battle for Sony. Great software, nonethless for Yakuza 3, Halo Wars and Killzone 2! Great time to be a gamer :)

 

Yes CGI it is! Bad thing is, Im buying more games than I am playing, lol

OT- Nice PS3 boost. Will be interesting to see what happens in NA.  Nice sales for 360 as well.

I dont see the Halo bundle doing all that well really. Seems like most of the Halo fans would already have a 360. Nice bundle to jump into though, but still I dont see it making a huge impact.

KZ2 is just another PS3 game that was supposed to bring massive sales, just like MGS4, and LBP, and Resistance 2, etc. However, those massive sales are still not there, the PS3 pulled even in Others on what was supposed to be the best FPS ever, at least that is what most of the Sony fanboys say. It did really good, but just doesn't compare to the really big releases on the Xbox.

amen

OH dear.

Tell me you're not actually going to try and compare the markets for JRPG's and Shooters on consoles?

Just take ONE quick look at this generations JRPG and shooters sales before you try to tell me that DQ and FF can come anywhere near filling the discrepancy.

kz2 already made profit stop being silly. Sony sold 1.2 million in europe already with us numbers its certainly enough to profit

Combining development and marketing cost a conservative estimate (based on the rumours we have access too, and thats all we have accesss too) of the cost of Killzone 2 would be $60 million.  That could easily be $100 million.

Assuming Sony gets $40 from every copy of Killzone 2 sold (again, being nice and generous), You suddenly have to sell anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 million FULL PRICE copies of the game just to break even.

^SO was on the NES and SO2 still annihilated its sales on theP

Starcraft loses again?

Killed him with his own defense, lol.

The Playstation sold over a hundred million consoles.

Is it Max's inference that the Xbox 360 will do the same making the comparison remotely fair?

 

 

I have a feeling this is going to end up just ilke Uncharted and LBP. People said it didn't do well, sales were lackluster, then later came back to bite them in the ass.

 

Thing is that nobody is here hating on Halo Wars, I see no need to hate on KZ2, especially since many said the sales were what they expected. Except you of course.

 

@Kirby

Same to the 360.

@rainbird

your acting like the people who say Halo 3 was crap

when its a great game

just like that No FF game is "crap"

evry FF is a GREAT GAME

some people are way to touchy about the franchise....some FF's are better than others thats all

in the same way UNLESS a certain genre's BIGGEST GAMES come out....you have no right to call a genre dead



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
