-Ratchet and Clank was massively released in America October 30th(some stores got it on the 23rd), but still it was at the very end of the month.

-The PS3 40GB was released November 2nd. A lot of people were waiting for 40GB to be released, that will obviously decrease sales.

-People should also note that this is NA only becuase the PS3 beats the 360 everywhere else.

November NPD will be a lot better.

Actually he is right, and for somebody with a Mario sig hw did you take Gamecube's failure?

Cows can only wish the PS3 failed at the same level as the Gamecube. The PS3 will never sell 20 million units or get 3 GOTY's.

At least I knowwhat platformI will be playing MGS4 onrather than Super Mario Rehash 64.

how is mario galaxy a rehash and MGS 4 isnt. I just wanna know. Im buying a PS3 for that game but how is MGS 4 Completely different from MGS 1,2,3.

Camo system is just upgraded better thats all. THe crawl is different. Oh and what they changed the aiming function. All in all its gonna be a similar game.

Mario Galaxy does alot of things different in terms of level design from mario 64. All in all its a great sequel with enough differences to feel new and different.

Which is exactly what MGS 4 is gonna be. Great sequal that will have proven gameplay that wont be completely redone because well its proven gameplay.

MGS 4, FF 13 could be big contenders in there respective years.

But lets get real PS3 will hit well over 20 million. Playstation 3 will get enough sales off of its brand name to make an impact this gen. I expect it to beat the 360 by a few million by year 4 or 5.

november also sees the release of Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, and Assassins Creed.

Mass Effect should have a strong run for the 360, Call of Duty 4 and Assassins Creed from whats been going around where i live should both show strong sales.

Throw in 360 being cheaper for the most part. Expect the 360 NPD numbers for november to be in 360s favor again.

Also the PS3 wins in japan yes. In europe its actually pretty tight with 360 having a slight nod in the UK. I expect that to change in with the 40 gig.

All in all i still expect to see the 360 beat the PS3 in NOvember and December simply because of the game library advantage and shorter price tag. In fact i dont see much changing in the US. Japan is where the PS3 might get its big burst.

Europe is a question mark IMO. ALl though if i wanted to bet on a system id say Sony finally finds the success they expected in Europe next month.

My guess on a worldwide scale 360 edges out PS3 again.

Dooes the OT do anything other than lie on an online forum?

I mean really, after reading half a dozen of your topics, I am really sickened by how bad your posts are so allow me to give you some tips.

  1. Don't lie
  2. Use actual logic
  3. Actually post links instead of dismissing lies that you have fabricated as the truth.

The biggest sales for any game is day one, when all the preorders are accounted for. I have R&CF:TOD and think its great, but reality is that its flopped in sales. Insominac has to be very disappointed and thats the truth.

T.O on October Sales

Reporters: HEY why did the PS3 fail so miserably in the NPD this month?"

T.O: Fail? I don't know what you are talking about. Obviously you can't count this month because the lower priced 40GB hasn't been out long and Ratchet and Clank came out at the end of the month.

Reporter: But Halo 3 came out September 25th which was the end of September and the 360 went on to sell more then the Wii? So how is Ratchet coming at the end of the month a valid exuse?

Well you know what they say. 90% of the time what a fanboy hears goes in one ear and right out the other. The solution? Smack the Bi@ch! God please forgive me and have mercy on this fanboy. For I am about to smack the hell out of this bi@ch.

:lol: Wow, it's always the waiting game isn't it.Ollivander

but this actually makes sense. Why woudl anyone buy a PS3 the last three weeks when it went public the 40 gig cheaper version was coming. Not only that everyone knew the price for the current PS3's were going to drop in price.

Judging by the PS3 sales the past 2 weeks I'd say that is the case.

If I was a person (instead of a demigod) I would sit and wait to see how low PS3 price can go and what kind of package they are gonna offer. I mean...why not? Ratchet Over and Over Again is a flop. Heavenly Bore flopped. Etc. Etc. Uncharted sounds like it might be good but with child level puzzles and platforming that is basically handled by the AI it doesn't appear to be much more than a shooter.

So next month some of the PS3 sales will be due to people from this month holding off? So you wont be over hyping them right?

Cows can only wish the PS3 failed at the same level as the Gamecube. The PS3 will never sell 20 million units or get 3 GOTY's.

What universe do you live in? They have alreadly sold twice that figure and more.
