[QUOTE="lowe0"][QUOTE="tegovoltio"] Even if it sold 7 million Halo 2 sold more! Next!

Sold more =/= better.

True, but the original poster said that MGS had more fans than Halo. (He also said the saga had started 5 years earlier... apparently this genius had never heard of the original Metal Gear.) If MGS has more fans, then they're not buying the games (which doesn't do a whole lot for Konami). Otherwise, if Halo has more fans, it proves the OP wrong.

Well MGS2 seemed to push out a lot of previous MGS fans (and casuals) But MGS3 seemed to be well recieved by fans and MGS 4 seems to be attracting more ppl again so we'll see. Not saying Halo isn't popular.

So the name of this thread should be, "wait till '08, and the PS3 will be great." Enough with MGS4, and FF and GT5, they won't be here till at least '08, and when in 08 no one knows. By then Halo 3 will have sold over 10 million copies and probably acount for the sales of 3 million 360 when it is unleashed on the world.

GT5 is gonna feel wierd without rumble.Zero-G_basic

thats what i was just thinking of when i read the forza 2 hands-on preview. They mentioned the redone rumble with the 360 controller and how it feels like your on the asphalt. I think having no rumble in a racing game is gonna be real weird

[QUOTE="deangallop"][QUOTE="zeonne"][QUOTE="xbox3604lyf"]cool 3 games that will destroy ps's reign

Halo 3
Fable 2
Mass Effect
zeonne
fable 2....beating ff13? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: didnt think there were any lems left on the hype train for that game after the first one under delivered

Why don't you tell me??? Killzone 2 is being hyped regardless of the first one floping it like it's hot.

kz2 is now being dev'd mostly by sony, not even really the same people which is why killzone liberation( psp) scored aaa in some places aa in all others the game has a dev team now of over 120 people and bigger budget then most summer blockbuster movies do....thats why its being hyped

lol more than a summer blockbuster..lol

honestly, I'm getting tired of these sequels determining the success of a console. It's the next gen folks, let's come out with the new IPs and franchises. You have a bigger palette to work with. So far I've been happy with the 360 with new IPs like Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Gears of War, and Crackdown. The sales of these IPs have been good + helped sell systems. I also applaud efforts on the PS3 and Wii.

1) Metal Gear Solid 4: Too bad Halo 2 Sold more, and also, no consumer would spend $600 to play ONE game, so that point is not valid.

Because mgs4 is a console seller itself, no one cares about the price of a console with great and unique games like this one and it has more fans than halo ( mgs saga started 5 years before :P)

2) Final Fantasy XIII : Why can no RPG be compared to this one? That's like saying Halo 3 is the best FPS ever, it's ignorant, Mass Effect and Blue Dragon look really good, better than FF. And isn't FF on 360 too?

The best Rpg saga ever made with no discussion , this exclusive is itself a proof the the Japanese companies loyalty to their national Console makers And No incoming rpg for the 360 can be compared to this one

3) Gran Turismo 5 : Racing Game, enough said, and there are better games on the 360, Forza 2 for example.

The best cars game of all time with a huge fan base all over the world and with an always innovative gameplay fame , This game is going to pawn the competition.

If you like the MGS series better than Halo, that's fine, but to say it is a bigger name in the industry is flat out stupid. Halo 3 is going to demolish MGS4 in sales.

I'm sure most of the posts in this thread already debunk your argument so I won't bother to add insult to injury... But know this..  The PS3 will have alot harder time getting those games to sell the same numbers as their PS2 counterparts did...

1) MGS never was a console seller, and never will be.  Halo has proven itself to be a massive seller, and honestly, most people I know pay more attention to the Halo 3 beta information than to MGS4 info.
2) I have to agree, FF will always sell consoles.  However, no matter how monumental this series, one rpg is not enough to put the PS3 back on top.
3) Again, no matter how good this game is, one racing game is not enough to help Sony get in the lead again.

MGS4 doesnt have that many casuals and i doubt it will make people buy a system for a game that is practical a movie

its funny how some people bash nintendo for continuing the series with mario,zelda,metroid and others yet all PS3 has are old, already been done games, where are the new ips?????

I hate car games. Many people hate car games. I don't find pleasure in making a constant series of left turns for no purpose whatsoever, sorry.

Then why was GT3 the top-selling console game last gen, with over 14 million copies sold?

first off Halo outsells Mgs Second Mass effect is very comparible to FFXIII Third do you honestly think a racer can save the ps3?

umm gt2 is in the guiness book of world records .......so thats a yes.... and the ps3 doesnt need "saving" anymore then the 360 does, especialyy since the only game worth owning a 360 for (geow) is going to pc now

Link to where Cliffy says that GeOW is going PC.

Halo2 >> MGS3 in both sales and review scores. Halo3 will do the same to MGS4

FF13: Have fun waiting 'til Nov 08 for that game

GT5:  Forza2 will easily defeat GT5 just like Forza did to GT4

I LOVEEEEE MGS series and will buy a PS3 just for that and maybe Killzone too but dude what's wrong with you. Do you even check your facts? MGS3 which I loved btw, sold less then half of the copies Halo 2 sold so what's your logic here?

MGS isn't a system seller, not a big one like Halo 3, and it doesn't have more fans, the fans are more rabid perhaps, but there aren't more of them.

2) Final Fantasy XIII : The best Rpg saga ever made with no discussion , this exclusive is itself a proof the the Japanese companies loyalty to their national Console makers ( this also benefits Nintendo)And No incoming rpg for the 360 can be compared to this one

3) Gran Turismo 5 : The best cars game of all time with a huge fan base all over the world and with an always innovative gameplay fame , This game is going to pawn the competition.

It's pwn or own, and both are pronounced as own (Source, www.purepwnage.com). Also, a racing game, especially one like gran turismo, that will lack rumble and force-feedback is a broken racing game. Also what was the innovative gameplay fram with Gran Turismo 4? The AI was lacking, and the whole game was more tracks + more cars (I've played it, I love gran turismo 4, and I hate the fact there will be no rumble or forcefeedback for 5).

This 3 Games are three major Hits to Microsoft and with a little help from Nintendo the job will be done :twisted:

So that leaves you with Final Fantasy, which is only ONE title, have you bothered to check what MS has in store in 2007? I have, and considering the new IPs coming for it I'm far more interested in that. Considering that Halo pretty much sold half of the xbox's produced, I think relatively speaking a bigger system seller than FF.

And there's one other thing, I have doubts whether any of these titles will hit us in 2007.

Wrong, it did indeed have competition: the spectre of the PS3 and Wii. Every gamer who held off on buying a 360, either to wait for the PS3 / Wii or to at least simply sit on the fence and see how the console war plays out after all 3 had launched, IS A LOST SALE DUE TO COMPETITION, regardless of whether the competitor's units were on the shelf yet or not. How does no one get this?

Ok, so all the prospective PS3 owners WEREN'T waiting for the Nov. launch, they in fact bought a 360 instead (as they would have if it was the only next gen console on earth)? Well, that is good news for MS, someone call Bill Gates!!

Wrong, it did indeed have competition: the spectre of the PS3 and Wii. Every gamer who held off on buying a 360, either to wait for the PS3 / Wii or to at least simply sit on the fence and see how the console war plays out after all 3 had launched, IS A LOST SALE DUE TO COMPETITION, regardles of whether the competitor's units were on the shelf yet or not. How does no one get this?



ok so for a whole year, the 360 was competing with something that wasn't even there? lmao:lol::lol:

If you're thirsty and go into a store to buy a Coke, and all they have is Pepsi, you'll probably buy a Pepsi. Bigger ticket items, unlike convenience items, don't work like that. People will indeed wait for their prefered console (you did didn't you?), so how you can't see that this qualifies as competition is beyond me.

I'm not interested in any of those games.  I don't like racing games, FF games are very boring after a while and I've lost interest in MGS (I liked the first two but I just couldn't be bothered with snake eater for some reason). 

I'm not really planning on getting a PS3 until about 3-4 years from now, and that's only if there are enough exclusives to grab my attention.  It just seems like a rip-off at the moment.

Average Joe Schmo does not have a "preferred console". And Average Joe Schmo is the buyer that drives the rediculous sales along with Little Billy's parents. These two groups are just looking for the newest gaming machine that'll put a smile on someone's face. They are not staunchly brand loyal like a few idiots are.

I think that Joe Schmo would stay loyal to the PS3 if all else is equal, as it is familiar, a known quantity. PS2 dominating last gen was no accident. Casuals are not as rabidly loyal as fanboys here in SW, but brand loyalty and recognition does count for something (again, all other factors being equal). The problem is, as it is turning out, not all other factors ARE equal (price and games against Sony, BluRay and HDMI against MS, just to name two each).

sure they're not worried.  that's why MS lowered their june 2007 target from 15 million to 12 million.  because they're starting to figure that the 360 is played out.
