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

how can a company sell more games when the other company has more systems? Think about it.

Both Gears of War AND HALO 3 had less xbox consoles on the market when released, as compared to KZ2...think about that.

Okay, even assuming that GT5 doesn't make this holiday season:

Halo 3 ODST: 6 million
(Maybe) Alan Wake: 2.5 million

Total: 8.5 million

vs.

MAG: 3.5 million
Uncharted 2: 3 million
A Crack In Time: 2 million
inFamous: 1.5 million
Heavy Rain: 700k

White Knight Chronicles: ???
Demon's Souls: ???

Total: 10.7 million + ??? x 2.

 

Here are some things that are just wrong with your post:

  1. MAG won't sell 3.5 million. I mean, that is just 750k less than CoD4 and almost on MGS4 level. No chance in hell.
  2. All other PS3 games predictions are very optimistic. Uncharted 2 should sell 3 millions? Don't think so. Uncharted was heavily bundled and it made it to 2.33 million. This reminds me of Resistance and Resistance 2 or Motorstorm and Motorstorm Pacific Rift.
  3. The Xbox360 will have more than 2 games this holiday season.


Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I'm sure 360 has more than just odst coming this year. IMO that's underplaying it a bit.
MS said not to expect anything till E3 and umm...I believe them O.o

Thats what i was thinking. 

 

Kantor i know you love your ps3, but damn boy, its making you alittle loopy in the cabeza.



Killzone 2 can't compete with the expansion to Halo 3.

Killzone 2 has sold 1.46 million. And the expansion can sell 2 million in a week.

"The year of the PS3 will have Uncharted in it. Failing that, it will have Gran Turismo 5. If not, it will have Kingdom Hearts 3."

Unless it hits the Wii :P, which is very plausible.

From where does that "quality myth" came from anyway ?

So far, the only people I met, gloryfying the so-called superiority of PS3 games, are on this forum... nobody IRL... weird...

I'm assuming you haven't played:

MGS4

Uncharted

KZ2

Warhawk

LBP

Ratchet and Clank Future: ToD

Resistance 1 & 2

PSN

Flower

Siren: Blood Curse

Wipeout..............

 

and the like. WoW what a "quality myth".

 

You do realise that "quality" can mean anything right? A quality of PS3 games is that they come on a BRD. A quality of a game is that is sells X amount. A quality of a game is that its well recieved. ETC baby boy.

 



Tease.

I'm only expecting an 8.5 review score and about 3 million in sales for ODST. I think Killzone 2 has already countered it. 

IGN had some article on game series that had overstayed their welcome a bit, and I think the Halo series was one of them because the mini-pic by the article was of Master Chief.  However, I haven't had much luck trying to find the article since I first saw it, and I didn't read it.

I don't think he's insinuating that PS3 games lack quality. Merely the myth that PS3 games are lightyears beyond 360 games in quality.

(a myth only present in Sony-heavy forums)

Have you seen worldwide sales this week?  Killzone 2 has countered Halo so well, that in it's 8th week it is being outsold by Halo 3 which has been out 10 times as long. And that's a game with almost 10m copies floating around out there. And you think a brand new expansion is going to lack momentum?
