And all Microsoft has this holiday season is ODST and Forza 3. What's your point? Not to mention all the 3rd parties on 360 migrated their games into Q1 2010.....Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, and Alan Wake have all been delayed from Q4 09 to Q1 2010.

ODST is a significantly bigger game than uncharted 2. Alot bigger. I mean sony won't have a game that sells over 1 million in USA. ODST is going to sell at least 3 million probably 4 to 5 million. Alan wake, Mass effect, and splinter cell conviction together won't sell as much as halo odst. God of war 3, and GT5 will outsell uncharted 2.

Why? Because we actually have a well known list of games coming out and nothing on Xbox 360 has be shown for the most part as far as a line up of games.

No. Because some of those games should be winter titles to boost ps3 console sales. STacking march is idiotic. The game sales will be hurt.

Alan wake, Mass effect, and splinter cell conviction together won't sell as much as halo odst. God of war 3, and GT5 will outsell uncharted 2.

What can they do about ODST being a "bigger game?" Granted, Uncharted 2 managed to increase the campaign length by 33% over the last game instead of a dramatic reduction in length and managed to add an entire competitive multiplayer component and cooperative modes. So if you're talking about the size of the actual game, Uncharted 2 is unquestionably "larger," versus the game with a 4-6 hour long campaign (by most reviewers' accounts) and a single new game mode (Firefight), no cooperative play campaign, and a whopping 3 new maps. ODST sells more because before ODST is the name "Halo 3," which tends to cause a bit of buzz. Anyway, regarding those other games, they're simply not finished yet. Who cares? I'd rather play a complete game than a hackjob. Besides, I'm of the camp that tends to believe that games should migrate AWAY from the holiday season and TOWARDS the game droughts of summer and spring. This is a great trend from all sides. I think ODST will see a significant sales reduction once people realize it's basically Halo 3 with a little bit of new content on the side.

If you havent even played Uncharted 2< I don't see hwo you can make that statement just by what you heard the game has had and a few videos here and there. You saying Halo ODST will be a bigger game in the end means nothing, there will still be a bigger line up of games coming out on PlayStation 3. But what is truly sad, is that people still find weak ways to bring the PlayStation 3 down even though it will have way more games comign out for it, where as I keep reading the Xbox 360 will only have Forza 3 and nothing else to my knowledge. So with one game coming out soon, I don't see why you feel over confedent.

Not everyone buys their games during one season of the year. Frankly, I don't celebrate that holiday and I buy things based on want rather than consumer holidays. Sony will be rewarded by their decision at least with sales from me.

It will sell consoles. Which is what a title in holiday season is supposed to do. Sell more consoles.

Holiday is when most people are going to buy games. That is a fact. March is dumb to compete. And ff13, gt5, god of war 3 are heavy hitters tbh. Forgot mlb 10 the show

There comes a point when there is so many games coming out, you have no choice but to stack them on top of each other. Not everyone is interested in all of them. Not everyone would buy all of them regardless or release date. Also your forgetting multiplats. The PS3's biggest seller this year will be Modern Warfare 2 anyway

First off ODST has co op its just not recommended by IGN to play since they say it breaks the tension at night SECONDLY you talk about 33% longer campaign right? You do understand just a single odst playlist will offer someone dozens upon dozens of hours right? Yes I know UC2 has MP but seriously you've seen the videos of it and let the numbers talk when theres only 20-100k ppl on everyday 2-3 months after release. Just so you know firefight on its own would take you 4-5 hours on legendary ON ONE MAP!!!! each map has different things to do ( some your against a wall and fight, while others your in the middle of a city) Funny how you say only 3 maps ( one being midship) I can guarantee you more people in its lifetime will play the ODST map Midship than ALL of UC2's multiplayer combined

So everyone should stack all their game releases on one month of the year so that they can compete with all the other games? If you saw nine shooters on the shelf, one of which was MW2, which one would you buy? Which publisher would you like to be, the publisher of those nine games or Activision? You don't need 25 major releases in one month of the year. No one's going to buy all of them, they get to the point where they compete with eachother for the consumers' dollar. Whereas if you're the one game worth a damn in June, people are going to pay attention to you. Even garbage releases like Red Faction Guerilla, Prototype, and so on, got a lot of buzz and hype because they were released during a gaming drought. People just want to play a new game during the drought and that's when they go out looking. They're pissed when all they find is trash. Also, look at GTA IV sales and MGS4 sales and try to get a clue regarding when people buy games.

And assassin creed 2 (which isn't getting surprisingly much hype). But honestly the multiplat games (MW2, and Assassin Creed 2) are going to sell a lot regardless. God of war 3 won't compete with Assassin creed 2 (reason why I believe it is 2010 release title).

You are damage controlling the fact that sony created a terible line up which will be detrimental to the sales of their games. Lots of people buy MW2, assassin's creed 2, but what else are they going to buy R&C ACIT isn't going to benefit from MAG, or Heavy Rain being delayed. Uncharted 2 is the only game that will have possible increased sales. But MAG, Heavy rain, and God of war 3 will have worse sales as a result. The only 3 big games this year are MW2, assassin's creed 2, and uncharted 2 drake fortune on ps3.

Just as long games are spread out through the year then I don't mind but I do think it might hurt game sales since there's more sales during holidays and stuff.

[QUOTE="Brownesque"]And all Microsoft has this holiday season is ODST and Forza 3. What's your point? Not to mention all the 3rd parties on 360 migrated their games into Q1 2010.....Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, and Alan Wake have all been delayed from Q4 09 to Q1 2010.nhh18

ODST is a significantly bigger game than uncharted 2. Alot bigger. I mean sony won't have a game that sells over 1 million in USA. ODST is going to sell at least 3 million probably 4 to 5 million. Alan wake, Mass effect, and splinter cell conviction together won't sell as much as halo odst. God of war 3, and GT5 will outsell uncharted 2.

Maybe they want to give Uncharted 2 a chance to sell alot during holidays. We all know GT5 will be selling millions nomatter at what time of the year it's released. Also, alot of casual gamers are going to be looking for games at christmas so having games like R&C around will be good, although I do agree games like MAG and Heavy Rain Could've used the potential boost but if they aint done yet they aint done yet..

Have fun playting your sales, looks like ps3 owners actually have something to play thats not another halo fan cash in.

Halo is hardly a fan cash-in. It continues to sell because it is quality series. If they made the game worse, people would notice and sales would decrease.

No most of you are playing the just wait card right now. With no games atm. And you just called me a lemming. I got called a cow by the lemming faction.

Yup, im sure i cow, thats why my primary system is the pc, and learn to read, i never once said the word lemming :lol:

And ps3 fans sure ware just waiting, i mean, theres been nothing out this year for them and nothing out already this year...no wait thats still the 360.

" Halo is hardly a fan cash-in. It continues to sell because it is quality series. If they made the game worse, people would notice and sales would decrease."

Ya, thats why its $60 for a 4-6 hour campaign with halo 3s multiplayer, something most halo fans are already gonna have, and some map packs, something most halo fans are already going to have, and one new mode! OMG!

may not be a cash in to someone completely new, but to any serious halo fan its just another ripoff.

So cows can't play multiplats and/or older games? Halo ODST have just recently been released with Forza 3 closing in, but what else have Xbox 360 owners had for the most of the year?

[QUOTE="Brownesque"][QUOTE="nhh18"]Holiday is when most people are going to buy games. That is a fact. March is dumb to compete. And ff13, gt5, god of war 3 are heavy hitters tbh.

nhh18

So everyone should stack all their game releases on one month of the year so that they can compete with all the other games? If you saw nine shooters on the shelf, one of which was MW2, which one would you buy? Which publisher would you like to be, the publisher of those nine games or Activision? You don't need 25 major releases in one month of the year. No one's going to buy all of them, they get to the point where they compete with eachother for the consumers' dollar. Whereas if you're the one game worth a damn in June, people are going to pay attention to you. Even garbage releases like Red Faction Guerilla, Prototype, and so on, got a lot of buzz and hype because they were released during a gaming drought. People just want to play a new game during the drought and that's when they go out looking. They're pissed when all they find is trash. Also, look at GTA IV sales and MGS4 sales and try to get a clue regarding when people buy games.

You are damage controlling the fact that sony created a terible line up which will be detrimental to the sales of their games. Lots of people buy MW2, assassin's creed 2, but what else are they going to buy R&C ACIT isn't going to benefit from MAG, or Heavy Rain being delayed. Uncharted 2 is the only game that will have possible increased sales. But MAG, Heavy rain, and God of war 3 will have worse sales as a result. The only 3 big games this year are MW2, assassin's creed 2, and uncharted 2 drake fortune on ps3.

So i guess the only solution to this dilemma is for them to package an unfinished game and sell it to us, right? I say Sony should hire you ASAP, you'll truly be an asset to that company.

They preferred to release them Q1 2010 instead of rushing them for 2009, maybe not the best decision on a marketing point of view, but good for us gamers so I sure wont complain.
