Predictions for PS3 vs 360
« Reply #255 on: April 02, 2006, 08:14:44 PM »
Xbox 360 is already kind of dead in the water IMO. They hype has really died down since it was released.

I really hope however that the PS3 does some form of anisotropic filtering.

where do you live, I might ask?

It is only picking up steam in the states, like I said, they sell them as fast as they get them and the games are selling really well, with CoD2 probably passing 1 million in March, Fight Night 3 probably around 400k or so, Graw probably around 500k (sold 270k in it\'s first week), Oblivion surely selling a couple hundred thousand, too. UK, Germany, and France, it seems more or less the same story. Only Japan is it tanking wildly. It even had the most successful launch ever for a console in Australia. I know that that isn\'t too impressive a figure, but it shows that the hype isn\'t being hurt and it is selling well. It had it\'s most successful month post launch, surely this past month. I don\'t know what is coming out in April, but if it is anything quality, they should be able to continue these high sales for the next few months.
A funny gesture.

It kinda is anymore... That would equate to $60 million in sales, which has to mean some quantifiable profit...

Nice collection. As you can see though most are exclusives
Thats why some buy more than just one console. ;)

Exckusives are many and they really add value.

I wanted all consoles too but like always because I dont have the cash to spend for three consoles I choose the  best. Which was the PS2 this gen. As you said its got the biggest library and the most exclusives


What?NO METAL GEAR SOLID IN THERE?


hmmm..exclusives..point well taken....as far as metal gear goes i had both metal gear 2 & 3 and traded them in...as good as 3 was, and even tho i finished it, i was just frustrated by the camera, and i\'m kinda ready for snake to evolve a bit in the gameplay dept...
knowledge, wisdom & understanding..these are the basic fundamentals of life

if you can\'t amaze them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh*t....

it is 5 months after a console comes out. Sales are generally on the downswing again, only big big releases break 1 million now, it seems.

when it\'s one of 2-3 average titles, it certainly isn\'t

I\'d say it\'s still a noteworthy accomplishment, but I\'d wager you hit the nail as to the reason it happened.
 
Call of Duty had the right marketing with no competition. A launch day GRAW and some ads would\'ve really held it back, it seems.

It most likely is holding it back now, GRAW is the much better game and has been selling really well since it has come out, especially for being a March release, usually a pretty dead period for games.

Hi AlteredBeast :)

XBox 360 is a great console...now let\'s wait and see what PS3 is capable of...

I think 1mil is a great number considering that the XBOX360 is still early in its life which means small userbase.
