Sonys top 20 couldn't compare to Nintendos top 3 in system selling potential.

Wii Fit
Wii Sports
Mario Kart Wii

All comers, top 20 they still would come up short. In short theres nothing Sony can do even if we weighed 6 years of PS3 effort to match that.

As always, 360 fans always bring sales into the discussion. We know the PS3 and its games get wallpoed sales-wise by the competition, but its the quality games people should be interested in

EDIT: I CBA reading the OP articles, so if its about sales forgive me. If its not about sales forgive yourself. 

 

You said it. It's accually getting quite old lol.

 

 

 

It's actually getting quite old that everyone says our exclusive games are higher "quality" then your games when quality is a subjective term based on who is playing it and what they like, someone that likes Super Mario Galaxy might not like Metal Gear Solid 4 and therefore the quality titles are on the Wii, and frankly I know you haven't played half the games on Wii/360 and wouldn't even be able to judge what's "quality" on the Wii/360 by your own standards.

 

Accually, Leonidus is right, someone always has to throw sales into a discussion about games, this goes for any console.

And I accually have played alot of the 360 games, although I don't own a 360, I go to my friends/cousins very often, which have 360's, and Ive played a majority of the top exclusives.

Wii? Doesn't intrest me, none of my friends own one, and i'm not buying one.

And all I said was Leonidus is right about the sales, why are you talking down on me for, lol?

 

Sales are a good indication of what the masses want, what most people enjoy, and what most call quality.  So sales do have something to do with the general publics view, some games sell badly due to poor marketing yes but if it's hyped has good marketing and flops then it's a good indicator that the general public didn't like it, for example Haze and Lair.  It gets tiring that because your favorite console doesn't perform then sales don't matter, when in fact they do, they keep sony in business and you supplied with good games.  Sales aren't the best indicator of "quality" but it's just another way to tell, between reviews, public opinion, and sales you can usually tell which games had effort put into them and which ones were just average or same old same old.

Carnival Games and Mario and Sonic

Get out of here

 

 

What about them?  Not your cup of tea?  Well MGS4 isn't your mothers either and would probably call it shit, but give her some fun well made minigames or sporting event games and she's happy.  As I said before quality is subjective

killzone 2 perhaps is a great game, but it didnt drive HW sales that much
and besides the 360 no doubt has the best games UP TO THIS POINT.
its just that sony has announced all their games already coming this year and next, while MS (IMO) is waiting for E3 to announce their games.

I agree strongly with the opening post and throw in two or three more games for Kojima, the HD exclusives that will be coming to the PS3 from Japanese third parties as the PS3 continues to sell more and more in Japan than the 360 and that will set the PS3 apart from the 360's lineup as it is now when both of them seem similar to most people, and the possibility that KH3 will come to the PS3 after the success of both FF exclusives in Japan, the PS3 is going to have a much stronger second half of this gen than its first half of this gen.

Now, its doubtful that any PS3 title is likely to match the success of the big 4 or big 5 Wii games. On the other hand, it is also doubtful that any other Wii game will match those games as well. You can show those four games and their sales, but then you can show many more and higher rated Wii games that haven't even hit a million in sales.

And I think the Wii is going to have a much harder time selling its second 50 million than it did its first. It was supposed to hit 50 million by the end of March '09 and we're almost to the end of May '09 and it still isn't there. And even though it has managed to outsell the PS3 (which beat it eleven or twelve weeks in a row in Japan this year), it's most recent Japanese sales figure is still far from impressive (it beat the PS3 in Japan last week but still sold less than 15,000 units there.)

I predict Microsoft will replace the 360 in the next couple of years. So, here are my estimates for the end of the gen.

Wii -- 100,000,000
PS3 -- 70,000,000
360 -- 50,000,000

I predict that Sony will stop making PS3s tomorrow, take that! So LTD sales will be:

Wii -- 140,000,000

Xbox 360 - 80,000,000

PS3 --24,000,000

 



Tease.

      It would actually be hard to make the case that the 360 has the best games so far this gen.  In 2005, the 360 didn't have much competition so it won easily.  In 2006, it also won with Gears.  In 2007, it was pretty much a tossup.  And the PS3 won in 2008 and is set to win again in 2009 and 2010.

     Well, we won't have to wait very long to see if your prediction comes true or not.

Well, at least I admit that mine are unlikely.

Seriously now, 100M for Wii? A massive 28M switharound between the PS3 and Xbox 360? 70M total for the PS3? Wow, you're optimistic.

      Well part of that 28 million results from more exclusives coming to the PS3 from Japanese studios while the PS3 and 360 continue to get basically the same Western games providing an impetus for more people that want to play Japanese type games to pick up a PS3.

Since the Japanese games we've seen so far on 360 don't seem to sell that well as the console's owners are mainly western shooter fans when the PS3 / 360 divide becomes 5 or more million units for the PS3 in Japan after the release of FFXIII and GT5 over there (and possibly goes up to 7 million after FF Versus XIII) while the 360 probably won't have passed 1.5 million in Japan by then, most Japanese developers will switch almost totally to making their hd rpgs as PS3 exclusives.

The other part comes from the fact that Gears 3 will probably be a 720 exclusive and the death knell for 360 development will come about to make way for other games on the new console.
