Yeah Home as well. My friend is selling his 360 because of home. And about a month ago, he said the PS3 sucked.

If they start hyping KZ2 again, and it is even better than we could have hoped, I would say you could add it to the list. As for the US and UK (maybe not Japan), it's also the most mainstream style and if good enough the most likely to be a system seller.

MGS4 will definitely sell systems, but I'm not sure how many. The game will sell really well but it is in a niche genre and not completely mainstream. I could see it selling the most copies on release, having a worldwide release date, but I'm not sure it will be the definitive system seller, but hopefully I'm wrong. I do believe it will be the best game this year, though (unless FFXIII comes in '08 ).

LBP is kind of iffy. It will greatly depend on how much Sony markets the game as to whether or not it is a system seller. This is the type of game that parents/adults will buy a system for which could make a serious contender as the system seller game. However, Sony has to make sure everyone knows about the game, otherwise it may be overlooked. I'm not talking about all the tech demos at trade shows, because obviously there are a ton of people who don't watch that type of thing. They need to have a bunch of commercials and in store advertising.

FFXIII is the most proven mainstream title of the bunch (MGS isn't quite at that level, even in Japan considering the popularity of FF there). I think since the game will look so amazing, it has a very good chance to sell a bunch of systems. So far I see FFXIII as the most impressive looking game, even though we haven't seen very much. This is one of the main points in selling a game, especially when it's attached to a Final Fantasy label, which sells millions of copies anyway.

So, for the definitive system seller? I would say the best title with that chance is all the exclusives coming to the ps3 (mainly MGS4, Resistance2, KZ2, LBP, GT5, FFXIII/Versus). Hopefully people will purchase the ps3 realizing they will be getting quite a few games down the road that are near guaranteed to be good, although, sadly people as a whole are very short-sighted.

MGS4 will move hardware better than any other game (even lbp),
and HOME will move hardware better than any other app.
XIII easily for japan.
Versus might move some units in north america, maybe, since a lot of people love the FF label and the KH label.

This year PS3 has alot of system sellers and they will appeal to each major territory.

MGS4 will appeal to the America territory the most

FF13 will appeal to the Japanese territory the most

GT5 will appeal to the European territory the most

lets not forget KZ2, R2, LBP, Infamous, Tekken 6 which are also system sellers in my opinion.

Probably MGS4, GT5, Little Big Planet, FF, Resistance 2 maybe...

KZ2 potentially could be, certainly to a casual fan base.. For us, we will have to see how it is rated, but a casual gamer sees graphics like that, and its sold.. That said I really hope KZ2 does well, it has a huge amount of potential, and does look wicked from the vids we've seen, we'll just have to wait..

i dont think that the ps3 needs one game that is the system seller......when you think about it the ps2 did not have one game that was the system seller it had many......

the only time the word system seller came about was when halo was released on the xbox.....

so in my opinion the ps3 doesn't need a halo to push systems.....we still have mgs4,final fantasy,gt5.....and a lot of new titles that are gonna hit store shelves this year...

I hope KZ2 has great gameplay to add to its mouth watering graphics. Hopefully they make the guns a little more accurate then then first KZ. I know it's realistic but it's not fun

What games do you think will sell the ps3. Do you think home will sell the ps3? What games will sell the ps3 most in the U.S U.K. and Japan manystylez
MGS4, Home, LBP, FFXIII.theycallmeryan
This is how i see it...(these are just educated guesses)... MGS4 will sell crazy all over the world and probably will sell 8 mill.+ copies and probably will give the ps3 sales 5 mill.+ LBP is a game that can appeal to the masses(both to casual gamers, kid gamers, and even hardcore gamers) and will probably give the ps3 sales a boost but sony needs to play smart and hype it up. FFXIII and Versus not much to be said lol it well sell everywhere but probably will sell the most in Japan... probably boost ps3 sales as musc as MGS4 and more. KZ2 and Resistance 2 will sell mostly in the U.S and U.K but i have seen many people in Japan play resistance 1.(there efin good) KZ2 has great graphics anc those 2 games will sell alot.

I bet that Little Big Planet will experience near 'Wii' selling status. Seriously, it looks like something that almost anyone can find something fun to do with.

A system seller I think would be a high profile exclusive franchise like FF. Or a DQ game for the asian markets. If I didn't already have one that'd do it for me.

And they did do Indigo Prophecy, which was cool, and different. You need a few games like that. Dreamfall on the Xbox was not made by them, but was cool to, kinda the same thing. Zoe made it easy to play thow lol.

Anyone think the ps3 sales can pass xbox 360... maybe even the wii this year ? I think there a very good chance maybe a 40% chance of passing wii and 550% chance passing xbox 360. If FFXIII is released Japan ps3s are going to be litterally flying off shelves. And MGS4 as it backup.

Killzone2, RFOM2, GT5, FF, MGS and the number 1 reason most people bought a internet adaptor for the ps2 "SOCOM" by zipper. And after seeing the amount of people that use Second Life I'd have to say that "Home" will also be a huge seller once advertising and just by word of mouth hits peoples ears.

Resistance 2, Metal Gear Solid, and Final Fantasy XIII imo. I'm only really hyping one of those games, but in terms of sales I think they'll pull in some huge numbers.

Even though there are a lot of great games coming out other than the exclusives like MGS4 and LBP. I think Home will play a big part in the PS3 sells. Plus PS3 users will soon be able to rent movies from the PSN store.

Not for me. The system seller for me was being able to wash my hands of years of installing beta games on my computer, patching them time after time to no avail. The crashing to desktop because of minor hardware incompatabilities, the list goes on and on...

in short, I found it the perfect time to scrap computer gaming since I had recently had a $2,259.00 gaming PC built only to find that it ran games like crap. It was the straw that broke my back, I couldn't take it any longer so I went out and bought a PS3.

But not for movies, for HD gaming! On a 56" Plasma TV.......So much better then my 23" monitor.

Besides the blu-ray player in PS3 is sub-par as far as I'm concerned. The movies I bought for it lag and skip and jerk from time to time...not impressed. But the game part of it is killer!

I'll let you know when I pick one up. It'll probably be MGS4 or Little Big Planet, depending on which comes out first. I've been content with my 360 playing Call of Duty 4, Rock Band, Orange Box, Burnout Paradise and occasional Halo 3, but I've recently picked up a PSP, Portable Ops and a few other games and got back into the Sony scene now that they've got their act together.

As you can probably tell by my user name, I'm a big MGS fan so I can't wait for that. However, I think most people can agree that Little Big Planet has their attention as well, so it really comes down to the release date of those two for me. FFXIII looks good, but I didn't enjoy FFXII that much (but I love IV - X), so hopefully its different enough.
