Playstation users have spoken. They are not interested in Xbox style games like MAG. Heavy Rain has sold 500,000+ units in 1 week exceeding the lifetime sales of MAG. Playstation users want titles with engaging stories, epic musical scores, interesting characters, and theatrical cinematics, which have historically been staples of Playstationn exclusive games. If you think about it, the history of Playstation's most critically acclaimed titles all have most of these qualities. IE. Heavy Rain, Metal Gear Solid series, Final Fantasy VII-XIII, Uncharted Series, etc... It is a case of Quantic Dream giving Playstation users exactly what they want. Congratulations to Quantic dream and here's hoping to platinum status in the near future
Um, MAG is a PS3 style game. It's exclusive to PS3. I guess playstation fans really have spoken.

MAG doesn't really have any of the staples of a Playstation style game, such as cinematic presentation, an orchestral musical score, a gripping plot, or intertesting character development. But you are right. Playstation fans have spoken. MAG sales arent exactly great. It's been out for 4 weeks now and doeesn't look like it will hit platinum. In addition, the servers have never exceeded 5000 players, even during peak hours. To kind of put it into perspective, a single World of Warcraft server holds 5000 players and there are like 30 servers.
If what TC says is true then 500,000 is very impressive. I expected its lifetime sales to settle around that.I know its just me but if a game doesnt sell more then 3 mill, i dont care

And as many others have stated: Link or it didn't happen
Dont get me wrong though. For what MAG is supposed to be, it is a good game. But it's just not a type of game that appeals to Playstation owners. Kind of like how games such as Warioware and Wii Sports Resport wouldn't appeal to Playstation owners either, but do well on the Wii because that's the type of game that Wii owners like to play.

idk why you would call MAG an xbox style game, its not like ps3 doesn't have any other online shooters

yeah talk about shooting yourself in the foot, Resistance, Resistance 2, Warhawk, Killzone 2, MAG, etc. and the #2 & #3 best sellers on the ps3: COD4, MW2 and the #1 seller: GTA4 and the most praised ps3 exclusive since MGS4: Uncharted 2
Wait..how was MAG "Xbox Styled?" Are you telling me Xbox is the only gaming system with Shooters? :o

Xbox 360 has better shooters then the Ps3 ;)
Shooters just sell better on the 360 due to their better online. The PS3 is meant for a more movie like experience since most of it's users are blu-ray adopters or older game players who aren't online junkies. Now I said most not all as I know a lot of PS3 users like playing MW2. They just don't represent the majority as they do with the 360 crowd.
You do realize the only difference is,is the controls right?:| i am talking about gamesFunny because the Genre is pretty much the same excluding Halo,Gears of war and KillZone,MGS4....

Link of proof to because of better Online or is that just your opinion?
No, i am talking about halo, gears, killzone and resistancenice try you were talking about Multiplats at first...as for Mag goes its different than the usual Run up and Noobtube and kill 4 people at the same time...it actually requires team work to complete your Objective and with 256 players in one room it is not easy.
