Forums - Sony - Which PS3 exclusive will live up to the sales hype?

I'm not talking about sales of the game but the game causing momentum that will make the PS3 start outselling the 360 on a consistent basis.  The last game I remember some people hyping like that was Killzone 2.  Will it be Gran Turismo 5 or are there other games that fans seem to think will do it?  Or is the general consensus that only a price cut and no amount of games will make it happen.

nothing except for a Price cut.A gaming console have never been this expensive given it's more than 2 years old.($440 or $550 with tax)

I know 2 of my friends who have the money but they are waiting for a 299 price since they say spending 400-500 on a console is insane no matter how many good games it has.I can't blame them.

GT5 is the only possibility other than price cut. FFXIII will give a one-time sales burst but not the kind of lasting effect you are talking about.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Edit nvm



Uncharted 2, it will sell about 3m

Then again, are we looking at the sales high from the nuts fanboys, or the more sensible

The OP is asking about system seller predictions, not game sales predictions.  Unless Uncharted 2 will sell 3 million PS3s? 

U2 for short, just as long as Bono isn't in the game ... or we get to shoot him.

No game will be a system sell for any system unless the system is around $150,i cannot see anyone saying "hey lets go buy a boogaboogastation360 for halozone2:return of lolkitty".

They would how ever say "Hmm this system is $150 and it does have a few good games,i could play besides halozone2:return of lolkitty",The true system seller is a $150 price tag....Unless it has "Nintendo" on it :)

Not really, System Sellers DO exist, guess why i bought a PS3? for Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

Guess why i bought a Xbox 360? Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

So... even though some of them may not have an epic big impact, System sellers are real. :P
