Yeah. So obviously, GOWIII will be a huge system seller. But, everyone should know this by now.

It'll certainly help. It won't be a Halo 3, but then again PS3 has had many games like this in the past 2 years, not big sellers but system sellers all the same. They aren't putting all their eggs in one basket like MS with Halo 3.

Good luck. The new 80gb model dont have it, and the older models (especially the 60gb model) is very susceptible to YLOD.

This is true for me I guess. I plan on buying GoW3, but do not have a PS3. But I also am not buying a PS3 for GoW3. I am buying it to replace the once I had stolen.

Haha I don't believe that, If it was anything about MGS of FF series then yes I would agree.

GOW is a fantastic series, but it's just another action game to me.

Well... he's kind of guessing. All I know is that I do hear people say that they want to get a PS3 for God of War.

That's how Sony rolls, so no PS3 for you then, and no GOW3, that's just the facts of life.

ALSO, Ylod isn't very susceptible, I have been rocking two 60gig PS3 launch models from 2006, and I have purchased 4 others for my family that are still rocking as well.

ylod is a dust issue, or poor ventilation issue, which heat is a problem.

So keep or buy a PS2, to go with your PS3, or don't buy a PS3.

That's bull. My 60gb model is 2 years old and it's never been better.

Yeah, I was just explaining that I have bought 6 60gigs at launch for family, and they are all fine. I still own TWO 60gig Launch PS3's, but some fanboy's say some crazy stuff.

LOL!!! That's hilarious. There's no fact to this and it unlikely that 33% of people who pre-ordered GoW3, doesn't have a PS3 already.

My analysis on the analysis is that it's a false analysis and that my analysis is better.

Well some people are waiting for a price drop for the PS3 and a proper release date for GOW 3. We'll see what happens then.

I could care less what the analyst says.

It is the same guy i guess, that also "predicted" PS3 would outsell 360 10:1 after MGS4 was out.

I am fairly sure that 99% of GOW3 buyers already have a PS3, and i can confirm this "analyst" does not have the slightest clue of what he is talking about

I doubt he has ever touched a game also in his life

Each great title that releases on PS3 brings new people to the system. MGS4 brought the most, we'll see what GoW 3 does.

Since WHEN do we believe in analysts?

I don't believe in them for the bad things why the hell should I believe in them when they say something that I consider good? Screw them.

i personally don't, predicting the future is a risky game, but at the same time i do think gow3 will sell quite a few systems cos i am expecting a sony double whammy gow 3 and price drop at the same time.

What the analyst says makes sense. If GOW3 ends up selling 9 million throughout its lifespan, it is very likely that only 6 million of those people currently own a Playstation 3.
