since MGS4 and FFXIII are in 08, I still see ratchet as the big system seller for the PS3.

 So far it seems a lot of people know the ratchet franchise, and enjoyed the series. I'm bad at wording my topics, but anyways I see R&C as PS3's system seller this year. 

 

Of course sony never puts their hopes in a single game, they release many games to sell their console, instead of one big game. But I see ratchet as the PS3's top seller this year...

If there is a price drop this Christmas then I could see R&C selling some consoles. It won't be a major system mover though.

Last I knew, the trailer for MGS4 said 07, it crossed out 08. So can I get a link to the confirmed release date? No? Didn't think so :P

Anyways, I know Ratchet is going to be loads of fun.

IT might be sonys best 1st party game in sales. but not a killer app. Ratchet isnt a big "system seller" or "killer app" Its AA-AAA series. But generally the sales go 1-2 million and thats genereally it. IT will be good though.

It will sell a few consoles, I'd say about 20 000 for the first month due to the game, it's a great game.  Another reason to get a ps3, but it wouldn't be considered a only reason to get a ps3.  It will also sell well within the 3mil ps3 owners.

Best game yes. A killer app no. It's not that type of game that would move systems. MGS is arguably not a true system seller either. I think the Home service has a great chance of being the killer app for the PS3. This is coming from a lemming that thinks it is stupid. It just has the gee whiz factor that appeals to many people much like Wii did.

Killer app is any game that can reach mass market. Ratchet has that chance with it's Platformer with guns gameplay makes alot of people Interested. the game isn't to Kidde and it's not to gory.

From precedent set by the other Ratchet games on a vastly superior console in terms of sales (No one wants the PS3) the sales were just good not great. I love Ratchet and Clank but quite a large percentage of gamers could care less about them. It doesn't have that kind of following like say Halo or Mario have. And my point about Home is well taken then because it will reach Mass Market for sure.

I doubt a platformer is the type of game to sell a $600 console.

I think Killzone will be the best selling PS3 game this year but I know not many share that prediction.

Anyway, Uncharted and Heavenly Sword should do well. I think Ratchet won't sell as many copies as the games did last gen.
