Actually, with the delay to a more calm time of year on the 360, it could completely obliterate PS3 sales. Like, Nuclear Winter.

Or the majority of PS3 users really are cheap Blu-Ray buyers.
I'm astonished at the lack of sales for Uncharted. I bought it and loved it. It's gorgeous and fun. PS3 owners who don't have this game apparently don't want good, original games on the platform.
Great sales for everyone else. It horrifies me that High School Musical sold better than Uncharted. If that's not a harbinger of the death of real games, I'm not sure what is, but it's Nintendo's world now and we just live in it.

This has been my exact point in thread after thread.Odysseus said:
There's only so much failure a platform can take before it nullifies it's existence. The PS3 might not be doing that badly comparing with early 360, but it's not being compared to the 360 of 2006, it's being compared to the 360 of now... the one with the 6.5-7 million unit lead the world over.
Putting the Wii into the equation screws Sony up further.
What goes around comes around. Sony fanboys are going to turn the same way, just as bitter, and as soon as Sony gets back on top--it's going to be relentless. You shouldn't dish it if you can't take it.Dirtbag 504 said:
But I, unlike you, wish all the best to everyone involved. The more competition the better. The PS3 has benefited greatly from the X360 thus far and 360 will benefit from a strong PS3 as well.
I hope one day we get the real Microsoft/Epic story.
You don't piss away a guaranteed 1 million unit seller because MS didn't let you put through free Gears DLC. Also, Epic's whole "closed system" argument does not hold any water whatsoever. WHO THE FUCK CARES AT THE END OF THE DAY? You're selling UT3 to Joe Sixpack 360 who's gonna play the shit out of the game for 3 months and then move on to the next title. He doesn't really give a shit that Larry down the Street made a mod that lets him put Master Chief's skin on his character.
Epic has quite a bit of egg on their face.

Now, I can't wait how Sony will aproach PS4, it's going to be great.
If I were them I will try to make the Eyetoy the big selling point.

I believe the folks at Epic are probably going to swallow their pride and make nice with Microsoft on the whole downloadable content thing. Their market is on the 360 now.

Ah well. PS3 owners at least get a nice consolation prize this month. How it will affect PS3 sales in January is anyone's guess, however.

I believe this to be the case. With stand alone Blu-Ray players now cheaper than the PS3 I think that will hurt the PS3 in 2008.

Pretty much. Every month for the past 12 we hear the same things, that things aren't over yet, that nothing is set in stone, and yet month after month, absolutely nothing changes in terms of the ratio/gap. With the lead that MS built up in the first year and the absolutely phenomenal software lead they have, there is absolutely no way the global scenario of influence can ever change from Wii > 360 > PS3.
Even if Sony catches up in worldwide units, 85% of the developers of HD games will put their primary focus on 360 games.
That means:
- Little accommodation for BR space
- Little reliance on built in HDD
- Little use of the PS3's superior processing power
Which means MS has nullified nearly all of the PS3's gaming advantages for 85% of the titles available. For the rest of the generation.
Which means that the people who still wrongheadedly focus on who's where on the Hardware Podium and when are so totally looking at the wrong thing. Especially considering it's a fight for 2nd and 3rd anyway.

They do, unfortunately. Unless PS3 UT3 sells like hot pancakes, of course. It was only a year ago when Gears was selling millions (to counter the whole 'comparative userbase' argument vis a vis the PS3) - I'm sure Mark Rein's nostalgic for those days when an Epic title sells heaps.
That's not a particularly good way of comparing the sales. They sold relatively well compared to the last few months previously, but because it was a higher-volume month, the difference was magnified.XiaNaphryz said:
Ultimately, 300k is 300k, but if you're wondering if they're getting closer or not, you'll want to consider it relative to total sales during that time period.

There are three problems I can think of with this kind of hyperbole:
1. Licensed shovelware selling far better than what it deserves is hardly a new phenomenon.
2. It's not exclusive to Nintendo systems.
3. It's not even exclusive to "kiddie" titles - just look at Enter the Matrix or 50 Cent: Bulletproof.

Back to the whole UT3/Crysis thing: I would have gotten it, but my PC would run like crap. So no, for now.
I'd imagine PC game sales work a lot like that, does anyone have any sort of numbers in that regard, such as how UT2K4 did in it's first month, or Quake 4, etc? Those numbers, vs how they track in following months, would be more meaningful than just looking at 89K and going nuts.

halo 3 sales are nothing short of astounding. halo 3 has sold to ~50% of the 360 base, and sold to ~50% of new owners this month. for crying out loud, looking at that ratio, you could say 360 is even more of a halo box than the original.

Great numbers for MS and Ninty.
Sony had good numbers, too. Still, it just had a real price cut in November, the second highest selling month of the year...it should have had a higher sales number considering that X360 did not have any price cut last year and did more hardware in the same month with less time post-Black Friday on the charts. At least, some of the biggest third party titles can do well on PS3. And what's with the Sony first party streak of failure? Four games with (relatively) big marketing and twenty-million-dollar-plus budgets all failing to sell enough to break even in their first months at market across the world? Terrible. Sony's balance on their first party software sounds like it could be near to the negative one-hundred million mark by now. Can't recall ever seeing one publisher put out so many big budget bombs in a row without they themselves bombing out of existence. Scary shit and pretty much confirms that Sony's losses will continue largely unabated. Sony desperately needs to be able to maintain as much of the whole price cut/November shopping boost momentum beyond the holiday season in NA.

As a guy who drove around town to find a PS3 like a mad man back in 06, I resent Sony's continued mixed messages. They want to compete with iTunes and cell phone connectivity is the next big thing? Come on, please for the love of god, back to senses and concentrate PS3 as a game machine. I would hate to see PS3 to follow the footsteps of PSP, a media machine rather than a game console. I'll be voting with my gaming bucks.Odysseus said:
