think about it, COD is the biggest selling franchise for now and that is what 90% of 360 users play, without the franchise, the 360 would be dead. Lets take a look at the top 4 best seller on the 360 GeoW - sells decent but the FPS fanbase have taken over the 360 Forza - doing good, but not good enough for people to buy a 360 for Fable - after Fable 3, it's history Halo - 2nd best seller but Bungie quit, going Multiplat
and the only thing keeping the ps3 alive is uninformed consumers that think its the best cheapest available bluray player, when there are infact cheaper stand alone bluray players that have more features and work better.
[QUOTE="Badosh"]no..it's not. without CoD the 360 would be fine. the 360 is suffering even with COD, the biggest seller right now take a look at your friends list and i guarantee 90% of your friends online are playing COD
I hate to defend the lemmings and the COD games, but haven't cows recognized that the COD series sells more than any PS3 exclusive game so the PS3 will be kinda dead without COD.

PS3 users have exclusives to play without COD. 360 users on the other hand, have nothing to play without COD
You do realize the most popular game on PS3 is Black Ops, right? I'm sure MW2 is right up there as well. (or isn't it broken and unplayable on PS3 because of the hacking?)
So is CoD the only thing keeping PS3 afloat? No. Is it the only thing keeping 360 afloat? No. It's a popular series on BOTH consoles, but either could go without it and be fine.
Each console has plenty of great games coming to them. Neither needs CoD to stay "alive".

the 360 is suffereing? last i checked it was the only console of the 3 major ones that had an increase in revenue from 2009 to 2010 (40% increase) and it was the best selling console of January 2011.

Then why does a new COD game for the last couple of games on the PS3 sell more than 8 million copies every single time while a good PS3 exclusive can't even sell close to that many copies. Maybe it as something to do with Activision insane advertisement campaign ever single time a COD game comes out.I still agree that neither system needs COD to survive, but MS relies on it a bit.

Because ofcourse they can't play other multi-plats right? :roll: Seriously where do you get your information "90% of 360 owners" are playing CoD and thats all they're playing? "Only houswives buy the PS3 for Blu-ray"? :roll:

that's funny, because i know at least 10 people who where diehard Playstation fans, then bought a Xbox 360 and now their PS3 collects dust until they wanna watch a Blu-ray.

3 friends online currently: (Have over 20 but most don't log on till later)
1. Gears 1
2. Dead Space 2
3. Reach
So none playing Black Ops. :D
Compared to my PS3 friends list right now, 2 people online, 1 playing Black Ops, the other using Netflix.

Great. My cousin's 360 friends list is full of randoms now because all his school friends sold their 360 and bought a brand new PS3. Now they can play COD for free, and their family members can each make a Free user account

so what spartan is saying is that in the US anyway, ps3 consoles are being sold due to xbox 360 owners running in bunches to get rid of that pesky cancer enducing xbox360 and buying the "sony loves me and will save the world by curing cancer" ps3, except xbox 360 just had ANOTHER month where they kicked ps3's a$$ all over the place... I cant figure this out...

*sees post and level number* ...........I'll bite, the thing keeping the 360 afloat are the Multiplats and Kinect IMO. Their 1st party and exclusive stuff is as bare bones as can be:lol:
Here's what my friends are all playing right now: Bulltetstorm Demo Halo Reach Fifa 11 Bad Company 2 NFS Hot Pursuit Black Ops Halo Wars Black Ops Halo Reach Bad Company 2 Final Fantasy XI Madden 10 I dunno man, lol

COD has been far more important to the 360 than PS3 or any other platform. It's the combination of COD and 360 being cheaper than PS3 for most of this gen. During the time period between the release of COD4 and release of Kinect, Microsoft sold a whole lot of 360's just because it was the cheapest way to get on COD. Everyone kept hearing about how awesome COD was. They could either buy a 360 arcade and play it, or pay twice as much for a PS3. Well, they chose arcade. I think going forward, Kinect seems to be having a big impact on 360 sales...at least in the US it is. 360 is killing it in the US, and it's not because of Reach or Gears of War 3 coming in the fall. It's because of Kinect. The casuals are latching on to it.
[QUOTE="spartan-kratos"] GeoW - sells decent but the FPS fanbase have taken over the 360 Forza - doing good, but not good enough for people to buy a 360 for Fable - after Fable 3, it's history Halo - 2nd best seller but Bungie quit, going Multiplat Dude..

So, you mean PS3 is not alive ? Because it has no game that 90% of PS3 owners play
Oh boy, this thread is funny :P On topic - I believe CoD is the top selling game on both systems so what are you guys arguing about? Its simple, accessible, well advertised... it sells too much on both systems. Stop with the madness.
Lol, what? You know, CoD is also the best selling game series on the Playstation 3 as well, right? How are the sales of Gears "decent"? Each game sold over 5 million units. How is Forza not good enough for people to buy consoles? Halo isn't going multiplat.
As far as i know most multiplays of most genres sell a bit better on 360 when compared to other platforms. Like i said before, the huge and varied lineup is what keeps the 360 alive.
