Every PS3 exclusive "sold alright but should have sold better."

Let's just make this the official thread of all of them.

 

The same could be said about every game

 

Yes, but I'm talking about the trend. I don't think it could be said about Halo 3 or Mario Kart Wii, lol. However, you would be remiss not to say it about nearly every PS3 exclusive thus released.

...when a game as good as MGS4 or LBP can only do 4 million copies, you've got what I like to call, a "failure to communicate."

 

 

4M is a flop?Holy crap you have High standards /sarcasm you do realize that the Majority of exclusives on both platforms dont even get close to 4M?

 

The Wii exclusives say hello...aka Wii Fit, Wii Play, Wii Sports, Mario Kart, Legend of Zelda Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, and such. Yes, they are First-Party, but it shows that over 4 mil is possible...

And no more heroes, fire emblem:RD,  Bloom Blox, zack and wiki, de blob, samba de amigo, etc say hiiii!!!!

Yeah show me something thats NOT first party....I can say without a doubt that the 3rd party sales on the PS360 eclipse those of the Wii and Sony's 1st parties actually sell well....MS not to sure but Halo Wars seems to be doing nicely



Black Women Are The Most Beautiful Women On The Planet.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Here is a thread where you read the comments and all you want to do is begin posting the facepalms. -.-



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

There should be a ban on these threads, since it's the same story every time.

PS3 exclusive sells a million in a short period of time, fanboys spin it like PS3 owners said it would do 3 million instantly, term it a failure, etc.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Lets make a quick comparison here:

Killzone 2: Very high profile game that took years and mega $$ to make.

Left 4 Dead: Pick up and play game that was made for way, way, less $$$.

I am still banking on Left 4 Dead to do more lifetime sales that KZ2 as I believe that L4D will have the better legs.

Both great games just on different consoles.

Well, its a shooter. An amazing game overall, but still a shooter. The M$ platform generally caters to the shooters. That said it is doing very well and will continue to do so the more it gets advertised.

Games are games, doesn't matter where they came from. I don't see how 1st or 3rd or 2nd party actually matters.
