Again, not like it matters.
It is all of 6% points of difference, but some would argue that in this industry that divide is pretty large when so many games are concentrated around 80+% and above scores.
It's roughly the same difference as, say, Resistance 2's metacritic and Halo 3 or Gears of War 1/2. And, IMHO, there's a pretty large gap in quality between those titles.
I don't think there's really any denying the fact that InFamous seemed to be received better, critically.

Played the majority of the game on a friends 360 over a course of like 2 days, hated it, didn't feel that I needed to go into the official thread to complain about how much I hated it.Karma said:

Man this npd thread is boring. Why did people decide to argue about the least inflammatory point. There better be some infamous related meltdowns at the end of this.
Edit: Why did i write most? It totally destroyed my point. Oh and i guess now i am going to get Freudian slip comments throw in my face from anyone that would care enough to.

Personally I don't really care. It's a moot point anyway because sometimes on GAF review scores matter and sometimes they don't depending on who you are arguing with and what point they are trying to prove at the moment.

My post specifically responding to those inferring that inFamous was a much better game than Prototype and the masses spoke with their dollars since Prototype outsold inFamous. Wait...why the hell am I responding to a damn kitten, don't you have an Uncharted thread to post in somewhere? :lol

Sure, but lowering the price (and I mean significantly lowering the price) will expand the user base and increase sales on every single game that comes out for it. It's that simple.
And right now user base size is a bigger issue than competing with NXE or whatever. The PS3 needs to stop competing with itself before it can compete with anything else.

Sony has created a whole gen of monsters. One of them tried to swallow my soul after I gave a very mild complaint about a certain PS game not too long ago. Absolutely frightening. Someone should make a documentary of the fall of PS fanboys. One could only imagine what their reactions would be if Sony went third party like Sega...

I can't comment on a quality comparison. I didn't play Infamous. But let's just say no matter what, I would expect some people to defend certain games on gaf.

It's still majorly outselling the other two consoles. Perhaps the days of the crazy high insane numbers are over though. We'll see this fall.

Can't the Sonybots just stop now? Let it go. You're sounding stupid now.
I haven't played Prototype yet, but everyone I know who HAS enjoyed it more than infamous.
So it must be at least a DECENT game. Considering 360 owners don't HAVE the option of infamous, it makes sense prototype sold as well as it did.
At least infamous outsold prototype ps3, so be happy and stfu

Didn't Infamous outsell Prototype on the PS3 since Infamous made top 10 and Prototype PS3 did not? It's not like people with 360 only can buy Infamous over Prototype on the 360, they can only choose Prototype since only Prototype is available on their platform.

They're down almost 50% Year to Year, but the numbers haven't moved from last month to this month.
However I don't think anything significant came out 2 months ago for the Wii that would boost sales, and considering Wii Motion+ just came out and Tiger Woods just came out yet the numbers didn't budge might be a sign that things are still going down steady.
Of course, a big boost is likely next month with Sports Resort being released.

Who cares if a game is 'hardcore' or not, honestly.
If it's a good game, then I'm happy it does well (regardless of whether it appeals to me.) If it's a lousy game, then I don't want it to do particularly well (unless there are specific extenuating circumstances, none of which really apply here.)
PS: I know nothing about the Conduit aside from it being an FPS with ridiculous boxart, so I make no value judgment about the game's quality.

I guess red faction got left out in the cold. Maybe the negative perception didn't go away so not enough people played it. I mean from listening to the podcasts it sounds like a lot of fun. But personally I haven't even considered renting it.Loudninja said:I seepeople defended both Prototype and InFamous, but not Red Faction
