Forums - Sales - Sony: Make MOAR sell LESS

Is this because Sony has more games, and the user base is spread, if we only had the choice of 4 games, i'm sure the sales on them would be higher

Is that your spin? If GT5 sells 10 million copies is that because its the only good PS3 choice?

22.74 Million

1.Gears of War
2.Gears of War 2
3.Fable 2
4.Halo 3


21.08 Million

1. Resistance: Fall of Man
2. Motor Storm
3. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
4. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

And now, take a look at the genres represented over there.

Well, technically, Microsoft didn't make Gears of War or its sequel. They don't even own the IP. So those two games don't count :P

If Gears of War and Halo found its way on the PS3 they would instanly be on the top of the list. PS3 owners want shooters but Sony doesn't deliver what they want. Also the 360 offers games of those same genres and they've sold great as well.

halo would never makes its way to the top of a ps3 list or gears... keep dreaming



Ha Okey, way to say what I just said :P This is an historic occasion - perhaps the first time you and I have ever agreed on anything ever

While I would gladly buy both Gears and Halo if they were on the PS3, no, they wouldn't top the list. They have a fanbase on 360 which is not going to switch over while the 360 still has the games.

And Sony doesn't deliver shooters? Excuse me? Heard of a game called Killzone 2?

I wasn't entirely serious about that comment, anyway. I was mainly pointing out how arbitrary it is to compare by use of sales.
