Forums - Sony - PS3 Exclusives Cursed? (mentions VGC Sales too)!!

Yeah, Bond sucks. And Killzone 2 been talked about for years. If that is what it takes for a hit on the PS3 not many games stand a chance to be a hit. It's a shame.



 Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move,  and Kinect.

Kaz Hirai is really really bad at talking to the press. No idea why they made him head of new gaming division. Ps3 gamers generally brought it on themselves. Fanboys used to say shit like HS graphics can only be done on Ps3, MGS4, FF13 are only possible on Ps3. Ps3 is still top console because of Tekken.

People bash their exclusives because they're really over hyped and aren't really pushing the boundaries of gaming, a Halo killer, or a masterpiece only Ps3 can accomplish.

Kaz has said things like Ps3 is a premium product you should get a job for, it's only for those who really want it and it's worth it. He also thinks Ridge Racer is awesome.

James Bond can never protect his women.

Sony can never protect its exclusives.

Most of those things you mentioned I don't recall many PS3 fans saying a lot of, yet they are always accused of it. And Ridge Racer is a good game. Most of what you said sounds fairly biased, but to each, his own.

 

Most of my expierences are from PSU forums (official sony forums). Ps3 fanboys are really bad there, especially in 06/07.



Knight in shining armor = Killzone 2 ? I have a feeling that this year Killzone 2 will be surpassed by another excellent exclusive. There is so much potential there... it makes me hunger =)_

Killzone isn't even a Gears of War killer, let alone Halo. One step at a time, boys.

His numbers are wrong.  Killzone didn't break 750k the first week, and it did not instantly become the third highest selling ps3 game.  It became the third FASTEST selling ps3 game.  Also, the ps3 did not beat the handhelds in Japan the week of Yakuza's release.

Yes it did, VGC numbers (which very well could be lower than the actual) are only for the first few days. So yes, for the first FULL week it did break 750k.

It's still a big step. Ps2 wasn't known for FPS and all Ps3 really had was Resistance and multiplat titles. KZ2 is trying to bring in the FPS crowd by having the quality to compare to Halo.

imo PS3's exclusive curse got lifted with MGS4.....but these guys think killzone 2 lifted it

_____________________

Not really. MGS4 was part of an established franchise with a large fanbase. Killzone 2 showed that even a game which is essentially a new IP can break 700,000 first week, and come close to a Call of Duty game released in the holiday season.

It needs a TV special now.
