Forums - Sales - PS3 has no game to counter Halo ODST this year...

I find it odd that CMONEY was banned even though he provided legitimate sources for his information but the people baselessly attcking him and his arguments are still here unbanned.

Guess there is a double standard here on vgchartz.

On topic - The ps3 does have a nice 2009 line-up.

Microsoft needs to win e3 and have some BIG surprises

He wasn't banned for his argument at all, he was banned for his comment to Carl2291.

You can check by going to his profile. Under their profile name and avatar it will have a link to the post that resulted in the ban.

 



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

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

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I thought that was just an add-on... :S Meh, oh well. Halo bores me.

@bmaker - actually the xbox 360 has MORE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF GAMES than ps3.

XBOX 360 HAS 137 games rated above 80 on metacritic.

PS3 ONLY HAS 93.

Your lose in both the quality AND quantity comparisson.

Sorry, but those are the facts :)

I guess you're still playing Dead Rising 1 and Call of Duty 2 then? I'm not trying to say that a back catalog of games suddenly disappears whenever a new year comes....but I'm sick of everyone throwing that statistic around when it includes old games that no one plays anymore.

Compare this year so far. You got Star Ocean (which turned out mediocre), an average RTS that HAPPENS to carry the name Halo, and a bootleg Ninja Gaiden. Sony put out KZ2, which alone is magnificent, inFamous is coming out in a month, and you already know what else is coming this year.....and all you have is an expansionto look forward to. And you want to tell me the the 360 lineup is better? Again:

Slap yourself

 

 

ROFL!!! XD

The 360 should sell more software for the simple reason that its userbase is bigger. If I were Sony, I wouldn't worry about Forza 3. It really wasn't a big series until bundling started, and I expect Forza 3 (if it comes out this holiday season) to be outsold by Need for Speed with all platforms combined.

Microsoft said early on that they will attempt to control each holiday season by flipping between the Gears and Halo IPs. This is why we won't be seeing a Gears of War game on the PS3 any time soon, because Microsoft isn't going to give it up.

I don't know enough about Halo: ODST to make any predictions, but I'd be more worried about what the Wii will do. Even the 360's biggest hits might not look so big compared to what the Wii could do. And of course, these are all hypotheticals.

 

 Userbase is a pisspoor excuse... the original Xbox didn't get these kind of excuses when it's big brand was put up to Sony's big brand during the Holiday season.  A 8 million unit lead idea is almost totally in the US and while the US is the muscle behind the videogame profit machine it doesn't seal the deal by any means.  Sony does considerably well in Europe and it crushes the 360 in Japan.  If the Halo name can make an RTS go toe to toe with one of the great FPS games of this gen I think it should be able to post massive numbers.  After all it's the expanded Multiplayer that most people will be interested in.  I wont be at all surprise if Halo:ODST does more units than the top two or three sony exclusives this holiday.  Halo sits up there right next to Mario when it comes to massive franchises... though I just don't think we'll see the Chief (or his Marine friends) in a baseball game or football game... and what's up with Mario not having an American Football game?  Nintendo?  WTF milk that franchise right

Why not put up the sales of PES 2009? That was a multiplat released during Christmas last year.

Sony would give all those games up to have Halo: ODST on their system...

In sheer numbers, Europe will be passing North America soon.

GT5, FFXIII (in Japan), GOW III, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain and InFamous

vs.

Halo 3 expansion pack and...

...

Sony must be real scared.

 

Take GT5 out of that picture and I bet you money Sony would be scared. :)

Yeah sure becouse FFXIII which can sell 1.5-2M in Japan, Gow III which can go into 2-3M range , Uncharted 2 which can get into 2-3M range plus whatever HR and Infamous sale will all be paper weight sales wise :D

 

 

 

It's just horrible when Sony fanboys put faith in 4-5 games ganging up against one 360 game. Desperation is horrible! lol
