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

I would say that GT5, FFVXIII, and maybe even possibly GOW3 could all be system sellers. They all should be as they all should be great games.

Oh man ... just noticed your "FF VS XIII: I've never played it but I already love it" gif.

I wish I'd known about it when we were putting together twesterm's "lost a bet" sig.

 

Fixed.

And yeah, lol you should have made him join the official VGChartz Versus Fanclub to. :P



I guess it depends what you would consider a system seller. Personally, the only game that I consider a system seller is Wii Fit. That title alone has sold more systems than any franchise has ever sold in the history of gaming. With the way this generation has gone it is going to be extreamly hard to get the PS3 moving.

The most important thing to good sales is popularity, and something that everyone wants. Right now the Wii has this, and until something comes along to dirupt that momentum things are not going to change. Now I don't know if that will be Blu-ray becoming so much of a must have feature that people are buying it to stay in the in crowd, or if it will take Sony and Microsoft copy cating the Wii Mote, or if it is going to take the Wii 2.

So the awnser to the question is, no game will push PS3. It is only a feature that can push the system. Here is the list of things that could make the PS3 a must have device;

-Blu-ray as mentioned before, at any point we could see a massive increase in Blu-ray popularity, and I think many consumers will be smart enough to know the PS3 is the best on the market. However, this would probably only happen if Blu-ray players drop to $99, and PS3 was at $299.

-3D gaming. If PS3 becomes the only system to be capable of 3D, it could really sway consumers. Time this with the launch of GT5, and I think systems would move.

-Steal most of the Wii's thunder by making a first party motion first controller. Then get third parties to use the PS3 as lead platform for all games, making the Wii inferior in every aspect.

I think those are the most likly things to change the momentum.
