Touché.
I bet they net plenty profit actually, because most Wii 3rd party games are easy ps2 ports and it doesnt cost much to retrofit. I stand corrected.
Whats stupid is studios obviously see how insanely well nintendo games do on wii. A polished or innovative product is going to put up insane numbers. They need to take a risk.

I agree, while I loved playing every other Ratchet game on the PS2, yeah even Deadlocked. As well as enjoying Size Matters, I'm just worn out on the Ratchet franchise. This will be there 6th Ratchet game released, in almost as many years. Besides sports games, how many franchises managed to put out a new game every year? I know it will be a great game, as Insomniac knows how to polish the crap out of their games, its just too much already.

Sony's had the promise of large Japanese support (FFXIII [x2], MGS4, WKS) pretty since its inception. Why would more of that suddenly start "pushing the PS3 all around"? (I'm assuming that by "all around" you mean across the world.) It has little to do with whether or not you're an FPS fan because you can be sure that MS will be taking the opportunity in the spotlight to focus on all the things the 360 has to offer.

It's the better choice to lose big now than never have a chance at recouping losses. Sony's not just losing out on hardware momentum and possible profit on that, it's also losing the more important software royalties from all the software not being able to be sold. Nevermind that most of their first party software will never be profitable.chespace said:

No, Benjamin hasn't gotten it yet. I'm trying to assist him. He's a tracer, not a mathematician.C4Lukins said:

I guess I'll just try to pick up the first(and maybe the second) on the cheap and rent Future to see if it's worth it.
I'm glad I gots me a 360 though! I've never had so many titles I've anticipated fall flat on their face(still have some hope for this and Uncharted though).

The general gaming populace doesn't pay attention to stuff like TGS and events like that certainly don't effect console sales.
I remember "March Excitement" after the Sony's Gamers day. It had NO effect on sales.

Yeah, that's the problem though. The numbers just don't make much sense. "Billion" seems way too high. I'm not sure what they meant.BenjaminBirdie said:
At any rate... Assuming that more money has been made on MS games than Wii + PS3 games since November (whatever the absolute values are)... I would point out that it is to be expected, since MS had and still has a larger userbase than the other two combined. At the beginning of their tracking period it was several times larger.

Uncharted has NO appeal.
Dead Rising? Zombies in a mall! Grab anything you want! GORE! CAPCOM!
Tomb Raider? Well known series that goes back to the PS1 days! Movies with Angelina Jolie! BIG TITS!
Gears of War? Do I even need to mention this? APPEAL! Multiplayer! Chainsaw-gun! GORE! Epic! Etc.
Uncharted has nothing going for it, no wonder no one else but PS3 owners talk about it.
Ratchet should have been another PS2 game, it would have been a more logical move.
GT is NOT out

If Nintendo doesn't loosen up the supply now instead of later, 360 could definitely beat Wii in September.

"Mainstream" maybe, but don't forget how things work in the press now
There's like 3 corporations behind every big media, total, and they don't like doing each other publicity (which affects even how the review movies and music albums).Just adding this rather pointless note
Ether_Snake said:
You'd seriously say the same if it came out on 360? With those graphics?
Some of the platforming mechanics actually look like Shadow of the Colossus to me. Maybe that's not big huge sales numbers on that alone, but the graphics really are something special from all reports, and Naughty Dog hasn't made a bad game in a good long while.

Of course I'd say the same, probably worst
!EDIT: And by appeal I mean "does it look cool?" not "are the graphics nice?"

Why are people saying "could, could"
XBOX 360 will outsell the Wii the month Halo 3 is out, I am not the biggest Halo fan any more (not after the second game) but even I know that Halo 3 will move lots of hardware.
What will be interesting are the November and December sales numbers.

:lol I'm not even getting into this... No appeal, :lol , Rachet should've been another PS2 title, :lol ...
Then again, you're probably right, considering NPD numbers reflect direct appeal to titles that haven't launched yet...
Nooooo way does it look cool! To hell with combining the best elements of popular games that sell well into one package!

September probably, depending on how the retail month goes. October it'll be 360. November and December as well. If WiiFit wasn't delayed I would've given it to the Wii hands down. But now, it's all about Halo.
MightyHedgehog said:
Yeah, I can see that. But my point is that they may not have the option to drop the price even further at this juncture. Not saying they couldn't ever drop in the future but I think we all agree that timing will be crucial for them and no better time to do it now than this holiday.
At the end of the day, they have quarterly financials they need to report to their investors and it'll be difficult to explain away hundreds of millions in losses with a hurts-now-but-keeps-us-in-the-game strategy.
