Mass Effect isn't that appealing to casual gamers, but for the hardcore. Again, M$ doesn't know how to appeal to the mass market.Dylons_Fire

M$... wtf :roll:

Microsoft, and more importantly, BIOWARE, know who their demographic are with this release - the people that actually buy games. Like I said earlier, this game will sail past 1 million copies sold by christmas.

I really want to check out FF13 and a few other games,so I will be purchasing one (providing it makes it our way in 2008 ).

Anyone else ?

i might buy a 360 just for banjo. nothing else on 360 really intrests me except kinghts of the old republic(are they making a sequel) because lets face it its a console full of mediocore shooters and thats the demographic it appeals to nintendo however appeals to gamers who like the style of game rare produces.

i think i had like 30 games on the n64 (i was 7 it was alot at the time) and out of it about 8 were made by rare and 17 by nintendo together they made some of the best games ever. i miss it :( and i think it was the main reason behind the gamecubes failure

You don't deserve a 360 if you're going to be that ignorant.

Games like Mortal Kombat were huge when I was a kid (about 10 - 12yrs old), had absolutely NO substance and a rubbish story, but it was great fun to be able to decapitate and impale someone with fans and sai's.

Games like that wear thin after a while, but you can always go back to them and mess around for 15 minutes when you have time to kill - and I love that about games. It's pretty rare that you can just turn your console on and fanny around for 15 minutes then turn it off, without having to load/save/sit through cutscene etc etc.

Kid's today still find that kind of crap entertaining except video gaming is a much more convoluted process these days. What ever you find fun IS fun, you shouldnt pay people out for enjoying something, even if you absolutely detest it.

I buy a PS3 because it has "adult" games. If majority of the game's fanbase are kids, I don't like the game:

Halo
GTA
Mario
Super Smash Bro
Gears of War
etc...

I don't play kiddie games, and that's the reason you should buy a PS3. It has the grown-up games.

TC is correct about this holiday's lineup. What happens in 2008 is anyone's guess, ask if you can borrow one of the Cow's crystal balls.

Of course he's correct about the holiday line up, no doubt about that but i was talking about FF and MGS. And you don't really need a crystal ball to predict that these two games are going to be huge.

Well, concerning MGS and FF, yes, they'll sell phenominally, in relation to past titles on the PS2 I don't think they'll do as well initially, perhaps they will by the end of the PS3's run. FF will sell systems, MGS4 will not, unless it gets a 9.5 - then I could see people being tempted into checking it out.

[QUOTE="BambooBanger"][QUOTE="exiledsnake"]

Please don't embarass yourself by saying FF and MGS won't be killer apps with your so-called logic. Metal Gear Solid has always been great which is why many want it to go multiplat. The numbered FFs on consoles have always maintained an overall AAA status. And I would like to point out that your flawed logic is actually fanboy logic.

ps: FF was never a continuation so it doesnt really matter IF it was.

Wow, someone named "exiledsnake" getting his panties into a twist because someone thinks his favourite franchises are nothing but Japenese drivel.

I'm surpised :roll:

damn, should have picked a neutral nick, lol. But c'mon, don't tell me you believe the TC's logic?
