Still no actual debating going on there CGI. I will take your advice though and leave the rest of you to it. I'll go and enjoy playing Unchartered 2 rather than waste my time trying to be civil with you.  At least I'm honest enough to admit I have a bias to one of the systems I own, you're deluded pretending you're not heavily in favour of your PS3.  By the way go back as far as you like in my posts and see when the last time I declared a 360 game a system seller, good luck finding it.

 

Nie try by the way Carl but I'm not biting today.

Besides the fact that you mispelled Uncharted 2, the reason nobody is debating with you is simply because your argument is outlandish, and a clear spin.

 

But, if you're so insistent, here you go:

Did you ever stop, and think that maybe the first game perhaps slipped under the radar? Look at its opening week, when it was released, and the difference between this game and the second. Look at the reviews of the second game. Look at the marketing. Hell, look at the PS3's price tag now. Why shouldn't it move consoles?

 

Now, look at COD4. Multiplat, and strong sales. MW2 is also multiplat, and it's not a huge step from the first game (if you're going to ask how Uncharted 2 changed from the first, the multiplayer is a huge step). Just a different story, more guns, and a number of tweaks to the MP.


I never stated anything regarding the original or it's relevance to the sequels sales.

My point is that very few games are true system sellers. 

I already mentioned a large portion of the boost was marketing too.

I don't see much in your post to disprove my points in honesty, in fact I doubt you read past the first post which was ill chosen.  My post was about the next big system seller and not any attack on the quality of Uncharted 2 which if I thought was so terrible I wouldn't have spent £40 on this week.

At least you tried though, so thanks.

 

I have read your second post, and I can see where the confusion is.

 

Let me rephrase:

 

To say the game isn't a system seller simply is wrong. Any game that causes a significant spike, is a system seller. I can see you meant to say that the game isn't a true blue system seller, and that's true, and nobody implied so. It's just the way you worded it could've easily been interpreted as an attack on its quality. If you're talking about Darth's title, you should know he exaggerates on purpose to attract attention. He just meant the game is a growing franchise, it's that simple.

 

Next time, to avoid a silly argument like this, just choose your words carefully. I got into a very silly argument once all because I said "I'd sue a store worker for giving false info about consoles" when I meant if the management don't do anything about it, I'd sue the company.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

I'm just surprised KZ2 sold less hardware then Uncharted 2

Im not.

Uncharted 2 is on a whole different level of quality imo.

The FPS market is getting pretty crowded.

KZ2 didn't have an ad campaign as good as Uncharted's.



                            

@Carl

yes it all came down to marketing in the end!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

1. Those numbers are not final.
2. We only know of NA so far
3. I can actually see it in the news section on the front page.
4. I know you are only doing this for $VG since you don't even like Uncharted.
5. Your threads are getting very annoying

I agree with psrock's bullet points.

Darth, you were a much better poster when you weren't chasing vg$ with CAPS LOCK every five seconds and enough enthusiasm to solve world hunger.
