Forums - Microsoft - Is this X360 exclusive Fall 2009 lineup enough to battle Sony?

Do 360 fans in this thread believe that a game announced in June at E3 will ship before december?

Uncharted 2 alone is better than the 360 fall line up. Heavy Rain looks unreal and will not be a "haze". New R & C looks good. We don't know anything about MAG though.

MS heavily relies on 3rd party exclusives because they don't have the first party strength that Sony does.

Sure, you won't see footage of Modern Warfare 2 until June, and that's going to outsell every PS3 exclusive.

No, Uncharted is another Resistance/Motorstorm, excessively bundled, then the sequel tries to stand on its own and fails massively.

Heavy Rain has bomb written all over it, it's a Quantic Dream game and it's a 1st party PS3 game, both of which have a history of underperforming at retail.

If anything MS 1st party is well ahead of Sonys, Forza is a bigger series than anything Sonys launching this year and Halo is in a league of its own, that#s the PS3's biggest problem. A lack of blockbusters, it's mostly fillers, Sony just likes to pretend it's blockbuster.

 

lol you dirty troll. talking about uncharted bundles then conveniently leaving out the fact forza 2 was the heaviest bundled game this gen (besides wii sports/play)

Forza 2 topped 2.1 million without bundles, can Uncharted say the same?

RAZurrection says: Oh, why's that. god of war isn't even a big franchise, big for ps3 and playstation, but not big in the real world. It's got about as much sales "power" as the typical clancy game.


Ok......................................................................................................................... Dude, you already broke the fanboymeter , no use to try to set a new world record with further nonsense while the device is out or order.

 

I'm just wondering why you're making a big deal that MS is scared of a franchise with an average sales of 2.5 million per game, that's like saying Nintendo should be scared of Fable II.

^I'm making a big deal? You are the one who doesn't want it to be released in 2009...gee, I have no idea why?


uh look, the fanboymeter blinked at you! wait...no, it's still broken....Dude have a heart , let it breathe!

Well, I assume that 2.1M is shipped to retailer, not sold to customer. Uncharted has 2.32M sold to customer according to VGChartz and was bundled very recently, so the actual non-bundled/sold to customer sales are probably quite close. Forza also came out 6 months eariler then Uncharted to a much bigger install base and a genre that was pretty starved at the time.

Plus, those numbers you provided are kinda old

lol raz no way it sold 2.1 in under 5 months sorry your WRONG

Are you guys talking about sales or quality when you debate if a lineup is as good as another?

Why cant everyone agree that when you compare the lists of confirmed Fall 2009 exclusive games for both consoles it is actually quite pathetic. Which just means that both MS and Sony have alot work to do at E3. Lets have this conversation after E3, then we will swing our internet johnsons around.



Max King of the Wild on 02 April 2009

lol RAZ strikes again. Forza 2 was bundled with every elite and pro before Nov 07. and its redic. he tries to defend the game and talk shit about uncharted
