Why is Resistance still the highest selling PS3 game apart from FIFA. It's a great game, but RSV and GRAW 2 are so much better

From a PS3 owner, ouch.

Because RSV and GRAW 2 both got better reviews on the 360 (89 / 86 and 86 / 85), and came out months later on the PS3 (Nov 06 / June 07 and March 07 / August 07)?

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

Wow, so Halo 3 (individual game, 1 console) outsold Fifa 08 sold on the PS3, 360, PS2, Wii, and PSP combined? I'd say that was a fairly successful launch given the popularity of football in Pal regions...



I hate trolls.

Systems I currently own:  360, PS3, Wii, DS Lite (2)
Systems I've owned: PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, Genesis, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, GBA, GB, C64, Amiga, Atari 2600 and 5200, Sega Game Gear, Vectrex, Intellivision, Pong.  Yes, Pong.

I would be amazed but Madden didn't beat Halo 3 (or rather had worse start becouse those titles weren't released at the same time).
In its release week Madden sold 1.651 mln (I counted PS2, PS3, Xbox360, Xbox, Wii, PSP and DS versions). Halo made about 2.4 mln in its first day.

And PES is much more praised than Fifa.

PES is praised by those who know their games, but FIFA is historically a more popular and bigger selling franchise - mainly because it has the official licenses to the teams and players and carries the FIFA name. 

I prefer PES myself though.

Australian charts:

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6180458.html?tag=result;title;0

Halo 3 was one of the most anticipated titles of this year, so it comes as no surprise that it made it to number one in the overall Australian game charts during the week of September 24-30, according to data trackers GfK Australia.

FIFA Soccer 2008 also had a strong debut, taking out three spots in the overall top 10. The PlayStation 2 version of the game ranked the best out of the three, taking out second place. However, out of the two next-gen console versions, FIFA Soccer 08 for PlayStation 3 came out on top in fourth position, while the 360 edition took out the sixth spot. The previous week's chart topper--Super Paper Mario--fell four spots to number five. Heavenly Sword wrapped up the week by taking out 10th place.

In the PC charts, The Sims 2: Bon Voyage climbed up to number one, knocking World in Conflict down into the second position.

Im surprised that the PS3 FIFA 08 in all EU territories except the UK.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
