As a 3 system owner I find it crazy the gap in sales that the PS3 is experiencing software wise. LBP + R2 sales-to-date don't even match GeoW2's first week sales in NA. Absolutely pathetic. What are you all doing with you PS3s? AdmiralDanThey are watching Blu Ray movies on them.

Although I agree with you... I think this argument would be far better served at Wii owners. Considering the amount of consoles sold... even games like Mario Galaxy, Zelda, Brawl are really only owned by like 8% of people who have wii. The software sales are terrible, I have no clue what Wii owners do with their systems.
Well I do,,, ppl think theyre cool gettin a Wii... have friends over and play only Wii Sports (which is bundled with it).. and never really touch it again.
At least you can argue some PS3 owners only got it for the blu ray.
College.
Most Ps3 owners are either middle age working class man or college students. Thus, Most of them are bussy right now. Ps3 software sales will skyrocket in christmas you'll see.
So, now LPB and Resistance 2 are no good because they aren't selling like blockbuster GeoW2? Uh oh. I thought I was having fun all month, but you straightened me out. I will be a good boy and only play my limited edition copy of GeoW2 and have fun with only that. I bought Left4Dead, but that's not outselling GeoW2, I better burn that too. SolidTy
What the heck are you rambling on about? He never mentioned the quality of the game - indeed, he might want MORE people to buy the games because they are high quality (to him).
I don't think Resistance 2 is even out in Europe. LBP will spread through word of mouth. But above all, do you really care about sales? I find it ridiculous how people here keep bringing that up. SolidGame_basicAlthough I remember you pulling out the sales card when it suits you.

Although I like what you did there, I don't think it really works that way. And he DOES bring up a valid point: The quality PS3 titles need to get a little more support. If they don't, no one will want to develop exclusives for the PS3 anymore.

Yes, I do mention the fact that the PS3 has outsold the 360 this year because many lems keep claiming dominance because of overall sales when they clearly don't see the whole picture. If the PS3 can outsell the 360 in its second year just wait till next year when there's a price drop.

I dunno, I don't think the PS3 is doing to hot, all things considered. Sales early in the year were spurred by blu-ray becoming the official HD format, but the PS3 still isn't making enough of a dent to quickly close the gap that the 360's one-year lead created. Sony's system might be selling slightly faster right now, but if there are more users on the 360, devs will still want to release their games on that system, especially given the famous attachment rate that the 360 has.What the heck are you rambling on about?
AHUGECAT
He's comparing a Higher Install base to a lower install base, and asking WHY? He's asking what PS3 users are playing compared to THE one insane Sales blockbuster 360 got this Xmas.
That's like comparing HALO to Uncharted last year, which exactly happened.
Heck, PS3 owners are divided on what quality game to get LBP or R2...and add that to a smaller install base...
There are far more Wii's out there, what are Wii Owners playing?
If he thinks the PS3's pathetic, how is the Wii doing? How are the other games that aren't selling like GeoW2?
Why are his comparison's pathetic when comparing to GeoW2? I guess Banjo3, Fable2, Left for Dead, and every other game that doesn't sell like GeoW2 are pathetic. His logic is flawed, and you are taking his side. What you are rambling about?

Don't wanna disappoint you both but LBP + R2 =/= PS3's value. IMO, I'm pretty sure the PS3 can stand on its own just by relying on 1st party devs unlike some who pays desperately just to gain fame...

For the past month it has been Wii(fill in the blank) and 360 exclusives in Fable 2 or Gears. I would have figured if any PS3 games could have had a good showing it would have been LBP or R2. I mean look at Motorstorm 2, who's first iteration sold millions, has managed less than 150k since release. Pathetic.

Im playing R2. Just cause its not hitting halo numbers or gears doesint mean its bad.
:( now r2 is automatically unfun because it didn't sell 1million...as soon as more people buy the game gameplay will surely increase 100%tiger35010Ha This.^^ Smaller install base? who knows i know i'm not going to buy 10 copies just to increase sales....

Ugh. Again, I am not commenting on the quality of the games. I bought my copy of R2 for a freaking reason, you know? But with these sales numbers I find it difficult to see R3 coming around anytime soon. And using Halo and Gears is hyperbolic. Man, the way R2 is looking it won't be reaching Gun numbers. And Gun sucked.As a 3 system owner I find it crazy the gap in sales that the PS3 is experiencing software wise. LBP + R2 sales-to-date don't even match GeoW2's first week sales in NA.

I'm guessing that many PS3's were sold for their BlueRay function only. All the hardcore PS3 gamers got theirs and play the games, but the number of gamers is significanly smaller than the number of systems sold as proven with game sales to console ratio.
I think some might be thinking if LBP and Resistance 2 is so great how come their sales even combined sales aren't that great compared to one game on the other HD console.  The reality is that sure the PS3 can play games too but I'm pretty sure everybody outside these gaming forums bought a PS3 for a blu ray player. If there's one thing Sony is good advertising is they're good at advertising their blu ray movies.
There's no games left for the PS3 for the rest of the season but I'm happy they have movies like Wall E and Hancock and heck even The Dark Knight coming up. Can't wait for those movies.

Ahh...a cow waging a misinformation campaing. How quaint. Keep up the good work...Sony loves cows like you the most.
Your entire post was about sales, then you switch the focus to what games we're playing? You know that we got 2 AAAes and a AAAAe, yet you got one AAAe this year, right?:|-Sniper99-Them sales would seem to indicate that not many of you are actually playing all your AAA games..
That's what Sony gets for not stepping up the advertising.nervmeisterYeah, even with the awesome new ads (best I've seen this gen). It seems a lil late. Hopefully I'm wrong. But still, we all know that sales don't determine a game's quality :). I just think that great games like these be played by everyone who owns a PS3!

I think the hardcores on these boards have and do. But Sony's marketing was a lil late I believe.
getting LBP tomorrow and once released in EU will also get R2.... probably LBP will have a sales boost for xmas time and once R2 gets released in EU we'll surely see a significant increase in sales for this title...
Right now am too busy with GEOW2 & FIFA'09, but still getting LBP since i believe its such a different type of game which is a must in everyone's games library..

as most of the time happens in your posts you let the lemming inside you take control of your thoughts and fingers when typing.... you forgot to mention that all consoles have their best games already out (both HD consoles).... also what you forget to mention is that R2 is not yet released in EU, and LBP is the kind of game which can attract gamers but maybe taking longer than expected.... I bought the 360 & PS3 for games, but one of them being a blu-ray player and not having to spend money on the obsolete HD-DVD add-on is a plus....
atm am looking forward to get L4D & Fable2 for my 360 and LBP,R2, Valkyria Chronicles & Motorstorm2 for my PS3, so seems like both have a lot to offer to gamers..

How do "sales" and "what games you are playing" not relate? How else will you acquire the games you want to play? I mentioned NOTHING about quality. Learn how to read.
