[QUOTE="Just_Osmo"][QUOTE="laughingman42"][QUOTE="Just_Osmo"]If the numbers were reversed and EA stopped supporting the 360 the cows would be saying the 360 can't survive without EA 3rd party support. But since its not that way, the cows say no one needs EA. Laughable.laughingman42
the 360 would be dead without EA... The PS3 wouldnt fare much better though. (at least it would still have teh hardcore sony fanys and some japanese gamers)
Why would 360 be dead without EA but PS3 wouldn't?
they would both be dead in the US and possibly Europe, but sony would still have its japanese following. so the difference would be between all dead and mostly dead.
the 360 has a equally large following in america to sonys *** following.
[QUOTE="Blackbond"][QUOTE="DeathIsARight"]PS3 doesn't need EA, they are one of the worst devs around. And for the PS3's base thats not too bad. Sorry no ouch today.DeathIsARight
And neither did the Sega Dreamcast. Oh wait :|
EA is the most powerful 3rd Party Dev on the planet. For you to say that a console doesn't need EA is down right ridiculous.
You saying any console that doesn't have them is more ridiculous. And the DC did NOT die because EA hated them. Go back and do some research and find the real reasons.
Yeah becausee not having Madden on your console is the sure way to get sales lol. EA drives tons of sales. They are the most profitable 3rd Party company. If you do not do good business with them then EA's Legion of casuals will go else where. Hence the PS2. Sega was already in huge financial difficulties and not having EA onboard only makes a situation worse.

the 360's US following is larger at this point. I'm not defending the PS3. it would be just as dead as the 360 in the west (probably even more dead) but EA doesnt have much influence in japan so the PS3 might be able to retain the little market share it has left over there.

Yes man I know why Sega failed. Read my above post on their financial sitauation. It was a doomed project basically from the start due to lack of funding to keep them afloat. Well not from the start but yeah bad decisions never help. I mean come on they've done the Fall and Rise of Sega how many times on G4?
If you really discredit EA that much then tell me how Madden NFL 2007 sold 7.4 Million in the U.S alone last year. That's more then games like Halo CE, SSBM, throughout their whole existance. Yup Madden 07 outsold them in one year. EA is the biggest 3rd Party dev out there. Say what you will. But having them in your corner is great and not having them isn't great. Period.
More and more games will not be on the PS3 because of numbers like this. Why would a developer spend more money on a console because it is harder to developer for when the software sales from that console are horrid but instead just make games for the other consoles and PC where it is much easier to develope for and a much greater return.rybe1025

Have you seen the insane sales numbers for all of EA's sports games? That is the main reason alot of highschool and college guys buy a console.

Um, Halo sells more than that by itself or did you miss how much Halo 2 and 3 have sold? Having them helps but not having them won't kill you.
it may not be the death of sony but this is definetly not good for the ps3 man
if ea cant outsell madden on the wii/ds/psp for the ps3 how the hell is square or konami going to make back there money on ff13/mgs4 NOBODY is buying any of ea games on the ps3compared to the others just look at that its not even close
what the hell are ppl with ps3's doin with themdidnt u want next gen sports titles or whatthe heck did u want on it if madden cant sell big on the ps3 i would be very very worried about grand theft auto, and japanesebought more 360's then ps3's last month so id bewroried about mgs/ff13 too

You do know that those sales for Halo 2 were in year right? And Halo 3 is at what? 5 million in little over a month? Of course you fail to admitt that those Madden numbers were across 9 systems I think while Halo 2 was on one.

Oh ya because PS3 has such great numbers sales wise. I am sure only EA is effected by low PS3 numbers.Ratchet and Clank had over a 50% drop in sales in its second week.
Madden 08 less then 500k when 360 already has sold over 1 million
Heavenly Sword only 220k
Lair only 190k
Folklore only 80k
Dirt only 80k
NG:S only 260k
First week of sales for Simpsons game the PS3 came in at number 39 out of top 50 and Sony paid for TV ads showing only the Playstation logo.
These sales are horrid. Any develioper would be worried as heck to make a game for a console that sells like this.

Do you want more games listed? Those were some big games. Face it the PS3 is a big stinky pile of fail right now.

Yes those Madden Numbers are across 9 platforms which speaks even larger volumes to the power and presence that EA commands. And no those are Halo 2's numbers since release not in one year. Halo 2 did not sell 8.5 million in one year man.

Halo is a monster, that thing easily outsells every game expect for GTA. Which is going to be a bigger monster as Rockstar expects to ship 9 million for launch between the 360 and PS3.....Jeez thats alot.
For 2006, the games review aggregation site Metacritic gives the average of EA games as 72.0 (out of 100); 2.5 points behind Nintendo (74.5) but ahead of the other first-party publishers Microsoft (71.6) and Sony (71.2).
The closest third-party publisher is Take 2(publishing as 2K Games and Rockstar) is at 70.3.
The remaining top 10[25] publishers (Sega, Konami, THQ, Ubisoft, Activision) all rate in the mid 60's.

DeathIsARight
And yet Madden 2007 outsold Halo CE in one year and came close to Halo 2. You fail to realize that EA pumps out these titles and numerous other franchises in yearly installments. And no Halo doesn't easily outsell every game besides GTA. Because there are games like Madden that push insane units every year. Gran Turismo, Pokemon, and not to mention EA's very own The Sims.
The Sims > Any Halo game
I mean no Halo game is going to sell 16 million like the Sims man be real.
yeh wht im tryin to say is there is no excuse for the 360 to have 100x the sales of the ps3 considering the ps3 base is only 2.5x smaller
no excuse at all something is wrong definetly wrong with the ps3 owners they are not buying ea games 50 to 1 either htey own a 360 or they are just watchin sports on tv cuz they sure aint playin madden on there ps3
and ea and rockstar are both huge in the usa if madden doesn tsell good on ps3 what makes you think grand theft auto will do any better or any other western dev teams who have been putting stuff on the ps3
IS honestly NO PS3 owners worried or in awe of these figures an scared of losing dev teams cuz of lack of sales if ua re plz post in here cuz i cant bet he only one

GTA is bigger than madden, it will sell and I don't think rockstar is too worried it won't. PS3 will have a higher installed base by then. Has anybody thought maybe this is worse for EA than PS3? If a game bombs who's fault is it? The system or the dev?
And nobody has owned me here, you guys put EA on some god like level and that is just laughable. Just stop now before it gets even worse.
[QUOTE="DeathIsARight"][QUOTE="JiveT"]That's what I love about the cow theory that "people are used to playing X game on Playstation brand so they won't buy it on 360" There is so much evidence against this being true.

And an EA game has ever been like that because...............
The PS2 version of the EA games always outsold XBOX brand but now that's changed. You really think that theory makes sense?

But the EA games are not bombing on every console just the PS3. So in this case it is the systems fault.[QUOTE="ProtossRushX"]yeh wht im tryin to say is there is no excuse for the 360 to have 100x the sales of the ps3 considering the ps3 base is only 2.5x smaller

Tet all of these games have had installments that have outsold any one Halo game. You think any Halo game will sell 16 million like GT3 or Nintendo Dogs? Or Pokemon? Come on get real. Way to back info that isn't correct. Easily outsells every game except GTA. What are these games below?
- Pokemon
- Nintendogs
- Gran Turismo
- The Sims
- Madden
Blackbond
You do know only 2 of those are EA right? And Halo has a flaw...it's not a multiplat. You think that may lower it's sales a bit? How many would it sell if it was 360, PS3, Wii and PC on day 1?

See when you say it easily outsells every game except GTA you are implying eveything including games not from EA. Or are we going to retract this statement. Regardless of which The Sims (by EA) sold 16 million on PC alone. Yup and that's not multiplat. So much for Halo 3's weakness eh?
Art are you seriously saying that the PS3 will sell 0 systems by the time GTA4 is out? And you say I own myself? WOW! Anybody could tell you that you are wrong and that the PS3 will manage to sell some systems before Q2 2008...:roll: DeathIsARight
Well of course its going to sell. (You'd have to be an idiot to think otherwise lol) But EA's presence drives sales. Facts prove this man.

Never said it wouldnt sell a console, but you said its going to have a higher install base by the time GT4 comes out...second, the 360 is the lead platform for the game with extra game material, so you think PS3 might have a chance at beating it in sales?..

And you say I OWN MYSELF? I said it would have a higher installed base which you laughed off. And how do you know the 360 is the lead platform and both have downloadable content. And no, the 360 version will sell more because the PS3 will have to outsell the 360 for longer than that to get a bigger base.

EA earned just over 14 times more for the 360 then it did with the PS3. It is not a matter of install base becuase the PS3 is a under half what the 360 is at. It is not 14 times smaller then the 360 user base. So fact is software does not sell on the PS3 and developers see this.
Also just stop with the damage control. Do you notice there are no other PS3 users trying to make excuses because there are none.
[QUOTE="DeathIsARight"]Art are you seriously saying that the PS3 will sell 0 systems by the time GTA4 is out? And you say I own myself? WOW! Anybody could tell you that you are wrong and that the PS3 will manage to sell some systems before Q2 2008...:roll: Blackbond
Well of course its going to sell. (You'd have to be an idiot to think otherwise lol) But EA's presence drives sales. Facts prove this man.
I never said it doesn't drive sales, just not as much as you think it does.
