remember 2007 & then 2008

SONY dropped price in 2007 & did very well that holiday

but the BIG exclusives were in the first half of 2008

DMC4, GTA4, GT5:P, MGS4

Are we seeing a repeat of that? yes

Why you ask? Sales momentum

Price cut = momentum in holidays

But what about the empty months, SONY have those sorted too now

Do you mean big releases? DMC4 and GTA4 aren't exclusives.

but they still led to a increased level of sales throughout all of the first half of 09.....after the first half PS3 sales suddenly dropped like a rock.

DMC4 had an impact in Japan, GTA4 had a big impact in EU & NA

GT5:P had an impact in EU, MGs4 had an impact WW.

That's fine and dandy. I wasn't arguing that neither game did anything for the PS3. I was just commenting that they aren't exclusives. GTA 4 also boosted the 360, so how could it be an exclusive to one console?

Who knows, maybe they are rushing out the game to meet the fiscal year deadline?



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

the only thing I would say is ....

Forza Motorsport 3 !

Seriously, Sony, these holidays will be hard.



Time to Work !

With gt out of the question, the sony exclusives list does seem a bit lacking for this holiday.



@libellule

a sequel to a game that sold 4 million with the massive help of bundles will make the holidays for PS3 very hard.........now I've seen everything in the world!!

The PS3 is still getting Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank Future: ACiT, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, EyePet, Demon's Souls (I think), Final Fantasy XIII (in Japan), God of War Collection (comes with GoW III Demo code), LittleBigPlanet GotY Edition (comes with ModNation Racers beta code) and still gets the top multiplatform games the 360 gets like Assassin's Creed II and Modern Warfare 2.



Sony had a bad habit of not getting their most important titles out in time for the most important time of the year.



 

 

Sony just didn't want Gran Turismo 5 to bowl over Modern Warfare 2 in sales :)

p.s. that's my prediction, GT5 outsells MW2 on PS3 version.
