Do poor sales have anything to do with the lack of qulaity exclusives?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Some SW users seem to be mixing up GS with the real world. In the real world, there are other review sites. Most of those Review sites have scored atleast 1 PS3 game a AAAE status, GS has not. So in the real world we live in, it has quit a Few AAAE titles, but in GS land there is not, but of course GS land dosent count for much.
[QUOTE="Taalon"]Lack of quality exclusives? Just because they aren't 10/10 doesn't mean they're not quality. I would say the last place is due to the price.bobaban
Yet it still outsold the 360 in 07. America is not the world. GS doesn't represent the world either.
It's really quite simple, there simply isn't a market that would buy the Ps3.
As the 360 came out first, there is no need to buy the more expensive and year late Ps3 for the multiplats and the exclusive library isn't even in the same league as the Wii or X360 and has been the only console this gen, last gen, or the gen before that to not have an AAAE in its first year.
People won't spend hundreds of dollars on something if there is no reason to.

Thank God.
No, price point is the reason.maabus99
400 bucks is too pricey? i admit its still 50 more than the Pro 360 model, but thats about it. PS3 is quit affordable now.

It wasn't a year ago at release. And yes 400 is a ton with the current US economy for the average Joe who is increasing credit debt on average 11% a month. Probably also why the 360 has stalled out is somewhat high amount to spend when money is tight for folks.
[QUOTE="Chutebox"]I was unaware that all the consumers in the world view GS reviews.
I think the fact that it's the most expensive console still(just by a little now) has something to do with it.

Still waiting for your point.
no i say its because of nintendo finally realising , and doing somthing never done before thats what holds sony back ,, they used same stuff from past generations , if their lucky theyll slip up to second,
price has 0 to do with why sonys dead last, remember , theres a 399,99 ps3 out there,,
theres a 399,99 360 out there so why would it be the price
maybe every one is sick of the same stuff,
controller nothing different except somthing they took out of nintendos books , hence why not many are going with the gimmick , or the brand name for that matter
sony had 2 yrs good in the market, but like nintendo their on their third console and usually by the third excluding sega whom lost every console war they stepped in to and maybe ms
i think its finally nintendos time to be at the top

Gamespot =/= the world having 0 AAAEs for the PS3 yet Gamerankings has 0 AAAEs. Odd how they both agree.Happy now?

No because it's still the same freaking thing. I didn't even hear about Gamerankings until I came to this site. Plenty of magazines and sites rank Ps3 exclusives AAA and plenty rank it below.

$400 is still a bit on the hefty said for a console, even with all the good things that come with Ps3. When it's at $300 bucks then it is nearing the sweet spot that the Wii is at.

Like he said it'll be one, Halo 3 is bound to go PC.
Here to save the day with the old GRAW debate Casey lol :P? We aren't talking about GS here, they're talking about AAAE's so far as GR is concerned. Yes on GS Graw is considered exclusive, but to GR it is not.raynimrod
um...why?

Ah, gotcha.
It main problem is that it is far more expensive than 360, and offers nothing more, in fact its graphics can't touch 360 ones
Also the 40GB model has no PS2 BC, you do not get achievements or custom music lists in games
On top, has zero RPG's for years now, and generally mostly shooter games, especially in 2008, so nar zero diversity in its lineup
All the above are serious reasons that PS3 will fail

Lol, there is nothing serious about this post, or any other post you ever make. Not to mention your whole post is 100% wrong, well the parts of your post that aren't opinion that is.
I'll give ya music though, but it will be put in soon.

Completely incorrect. If we want to compare the cheapest standard version of either console, their official sites (www.playstation.com and www.xbox.com) give the following prices:
PS3 40GB: $399
Xbox 360: $349
So suddenly $50 is far more expensive? Not to mention the Xbox 360 doesn't support HDMI - lacks web browser, OS installation, Blu-Ray playback, free online gaming, free wireless adapter, third-party accessory support and shall I mention the fact that its exclusives don't get ported to PC a few months later.
offers nothing more, in fact its graphics can't touch 360 ones
Offers nothing more? As I said before, it has a web browser with full Flash Player support and RSS feeds, OS installation allowing Linux and Windows, Blu-Ray games and movies, free online gaming support for every game, free wireless adapter unlike the 360's $99.99 ripoff, third-party support for accessories, replaceable HDD of any size, functionality with the PSP, Sixaxis controller, and much more.
And the graphics aren't anywhere near the 360's?
Gran Turismo 5: Prologue (in-game screenshots from the demo)
All of these screens are rendered in-game by the PS3. Sure beats the crap out of your hideous Fable 2 trees.
Also the 40GB model has no PS2 BC, you do not get achievements or custom music lists in games
The Xbox 360 arcade doesn't support Xbox games either - and while it may not include achievements or custom music for every single game, is this really such an amazing advantage? No, it's not.On top, has zero RPG's for years now, and generally mostly shooter games, especially in 2008, so nar zero diversity in its lineup
