[QUOTE="Spartan070"]The only racing game that ever sold systems was Super Mario Kart.Spartan070
Gran Turismo games sell more than Halo games.
Yes but as far as being a system seller, Halo I believe trumps it. 40% of Xbox owners owned Halo 2, that's a bigger percentage than any Mario game ever, even Mario 64. I'd say that's a system seller.
[QUOTE="acekicka"]I've never known of any racing game to be a system seller, too small of a niche...except maybe Mario Kart, but who knows...Spartan070
What?!?! Dude are you kidding me?! Its well known that Gran Turismo has ALWAYS Been a system seller for Playstation consoles
The combined might of the Playstation lineup is what sold systems, no one game did. It was the insane amout of variety that drew people in.
It's clear that you're very out-of-touch with the Gran Turismo community...
Sony just needs to weather the storm until 2008. The only reason this is an issue is because the 360 had a headstart. Once 2008 rolls around, the heavy-hitting exclusives will become available and things will start rolling.
In my opinion, it ultimately comes down to controller preference. For sports titles, the Playstation controller has always felt much better to me than the Xbox controller. That being said, up to this point, the Xbox 360 version of sports titles (for the most part) have been slightly superior to the PS3 version because of framerate issues. I don't believe this will be the case with the next batch of titles, though. As I said, it really depends on controller preference. If you've never played a PS3 or Xbox360 and don't have any friends that own one to test drive, find a retail store somewhere that lets you play both systems. Determine which controller feels better to you.
