One thing is for sure, any third party developer that is currently working on an unannounced PS3 exclusive will be having a long hard think over the holiday period.

Nobody said anything about saving it. Losing MGS4 was HUGE blow to PS3's Holiday lineup. They ran a poll on 1up that asked which game would get you to spring for a PS3 and it was almost unanimously MGS4. Again I am not saying it's going to "save" it, but It's exactly the type of game they need, and the sooner the better.

After a $100 price drop, a huge ad campaign and some triple-A games coming out, Sony needed the PS3 to do more than maintain the status quo relative to its competitors. They need to cut into Microsoft's lead. Hard to see how they made any progress on that front this month.

For some reason i'm more inclined to think FFXIII is the true savior of the Ps3, but since thats not coming until like...fall 2009 hope might be lost by then.

And the PS3 Sony?
The omission says a lot...
You don't know what the Wii can sell and would've sold this month had it not been supply constrained.Mrbob said:
In the US? Possibly, but it will get an increasingly hard time keeping up once the Wii installed base pulls ahead by significant numbers. (Which should happen soon worldwide even if it takes a while in the US.)Mrbob said:
I'm actually not worried about MGS4 sales, I think that will do just fine. If there is one thing we have learned this gen is what kind of games sell on these HD platforms.
Viva Pinata, Kameo, R&C, Uncharted = No
COD4, AC, Resistance, Gears = Yes
MGS4 really falls into that second category I think.
Well Sony has to have these teams doing something right?

they should have just said "Playstation consoles" and added in the number
Exactly, there's no reason whatsoever for 3rd parties to make any game released next year PS3 exclusive, there will probably be about 5 at max. What these sales should mean is more exclusives for the 360, hopefully it turns out that way.Opus Angelorum said:
:-( at Uncharted and R&C.
Sony are in a pickle that's for sure. The price is there, the software is there but the masses just aren't biting.
I used to believe there were millions of casual Sony-loyal PS2 owners waiting to upgrade to PS3 when the price was right but I'm just not so sure anymore. I think all the negative press has really hurt the public (mainstream gamer) perception of the PS3. PS3 isn't the "cool" system like PS2 was. It hasn't had any "social event" games on the scale of Gears or Halo 3. If my anecdotal experience is anything to go by, the constant negativity has really pushed the notion among the lesser informed that the PS3 is an overpriced failure.
I worry that when the real system sellers starting hitting en masse it will just be too little, to late, you know?
Of course I will be ecstatic if I turn out to be wrong.

It's abysmal.
Poor PS3 in general, Same price as 360 was last year. Except allot more value in the system. Even with momentuam of two prices drops also. Couldn't break that 500k mark. And the software sales, surprisingly good in some cases to make up 33% of the 360's in both Assassin's Creed and COD4. At the sametime underwhelming for Assassin's Creed with the PS3 exculsive marketing campaign for it. Not to mention thier first party entries falling for the most part.
Wii. Not much to say here, Impressive for the first month on both software and hardware side. Normally the software lacks. But this time it was on!!!
360. good hardware sales but fantastic software. Nice jump over last's year and only recieved a 50$dollar price drop and 20$. Leaves a good opening to price drop next year when they need it. Software...fantastic. This is what is going make developers keep those games on that system, pitch a few exculsives, and even steal some from PS3. When you are selling 3x more then PS3 for stuff like COD4 and AC, then 5x as much for Rock Band. It shall reward.

To an large extent, yeah. You are underplaying the 360's fervered pace though. The PS2 never had software numbers matching its installedbase ratio, nevermind surpassing it. As the installed base grows, the more likely it is that there are a bunch of gamers that will just not buy software on a consistant basis. This has yet to happen to the 360 and has even grown to some extent. It deffinatly is not guarenteed to happen to the PS3 and the Wii as their installed base grows to match the 360's. In fact if history is anything to go by, they probably won'tGhaleonEB said:
