The only exclusive on that list is Motorstorm so I do not see why you made a poll?

Motorstorm will not score above a 8.5 so I would not get to excited!

It doesn't matter what it scores, the game looks good!  It doesn't look enough for me to buy a PS3 yet, but it looks good!

[QUOTE="HazeNPopes"]Does anyone care about sales? As long as i`m getting motorstorm, mass effect, Halo3, MGS4, Alan Wake, then i am a happy person.Sensui1986

If you own both sales don't matter. This is system wars though meaning the majority have picked sides and sales do matter since they are the most objective number to declare a "winner".

not really, there are a lot of factors that influence the sales. Higher sales only means that it attracts more people, not that it is a better console for every kind of gamer.

Yes, but some people loved Sega Saturn.  It in no way won the generation.  Same thing with N64.  It had great games.  I still play them today while the old PS1 games feel unplayable to me.  PS1 still won it's generation.

Winning the generation doesn't mean that the other systems are a poor purchase.  The best team doesn't always win, but there has to be a winner.  Unit sales is an objective start to that argument.  If all the systems sold equally well, then we'd need to find another criteria.

[QUOTE="nnavidson"]Motorstorm should be the only logical choice since you could have played the other 4 on the 360 for months. Also, RSV isn't coming out in March for the PS3.0rin
That is still up in the air I believe. the only place saying otherwise is IGN's silly list, but if you click on the game, it still says March... for Europe, which is silly, because US people could just import it and play it in English. Funny how that "region free" thing works, isn't it?

The official  Ubisoft page has it listed as Nov. 2006.  We know how that worked out.  Ubisoft's R6 page has it listed as Spring which means March 20th at the earliest.  Gamestop confirms March 20th, which would make my original statement wrong, but I think they simply listed the first day of Spring.  IGN has it listed as April 24, 2007 which makes me think they know something.  We'll see, but I think if RSV was in good shape, Ubisoft would have a definite date set.

when did the PS3 start outselling the 360?Lord_Regnier

We don't know if it has yet.  I'm just trying to make the point that PS3 has to outsell the 360 by large numbers if it's going to become the "winner" this generation.

I want to make my previous point clearer...

NPD total 360 sales to date in December 4.5 million

NPD total PS3 sales to date in Decmeber 690,000

4,500,000-690,000= 3,810,000

Let's say that the the PS3 sells 100,000 more units that the 360 every month

3,810,000/100,000= 38 months

38/12 = roughly 3 years

That means at that rate, the PS3 would catch up with the 360 in 2010.  That doesn't sound like ownage to me.

[QUOTE="FatalDomain"]

Lets be real folks.....The Sony fanboys have a orgasm with any piece of good news regarding the PS3.... Consoles sales could be dead last but have a multiplat game in the top 10 sales, fanboys would still claim ownage over the 360!!!! IF the PS3 were to actually surpass the Wii and 360 in sales, forums across the internet would be reduced to a stampede of moo-ing, rampant, fanboys claiming gaming was non-existant until the angelic Sony came onto the market....Blu-ray would be considered to next thing since sliced bread (regardless of how fast digital distribution is catchin on!!) and all cows would disregard all the AAA HD content/DVD-9-games on the 360 as rushed trashed because devs would start powerpacking "filler" content onto a blu-ray disk just to claim the format was needed for gaming.....

IMHO I hope the hell this travesty never occurs because a company that has done everything possible to screw up a system, doesnt deserve to be #1 anymore. Think about how gaming would be now if the N64 was the #1 system of its generation, regardless of Ninty's crucial mistakes?!?!? Overall, it would be bad for gaming.....

Game On.....

360 fans are just as bad, if not worse. I don't hate the 360, infact im not sure which next gen system to buy, but i would love to see the 360 fanboys owned. BTW, this will happen - ps3 will sell 60-70 thousand more units

I'm going to say that the 360 has sold 2 million in North America, although I'm sure it's more.  IF the PS3 sold 60 thousand more units that the 360, it would take them 33 months selling at the same rate to catch up with the install base.  That's a wait of over 2 and a half years to catch up, aka 6 months from 2010.  That's not ownage!

[QUOTE="nnavidson"][QUOTE="iwo4life"][QUOTE="nnavidson"]

[QUOTE="xxThyLordxx"][QUOTE="Binski"]After seeing that list I really give up trying to convincing people not purchase a PS3 this year. That list speaks for itself, Maybe 2008 purchase but not worth it this year.iwo4life



Xbox 360 is worth it? what game makes Xbox 360 a worthy purchase. nothing, just gears of war.

Over half of the games on that list are going to be on the 360. A large portion of them out sooner, and some of those already well played.

I'm being completely honest saying that I thought someone posted a list of 360 games as a trick at first.

Oh and since you asked, games that make a 360 worth it, off the top of my head: (I'm only listing games currently out.)

Gears

Viva Pinata

Graw

CoD2

Cod3*

Dead Rising ++

Lost Planet++

RSV+

Crackdown

Oblivion+

Fight Night*

Prey

Saints Row+

LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth

Splinter Cell DA

Marvel Ultimate Alliance*

Dead or Alive

F.E.A.R.+

Chromehounds

Burnout Revenge

PD0

Kameo

What makes that list so much better than the PS3 list other than Gears. Half of those games are also on PS3 or are over hyped flops. Give me a break.

I put * next to the games you can play on your PS3 right now. Since we're on gamespot, I'll let you call the games flops, although the majority are not, they're still good games.

I put a + sign for games that will be out for PS3 in the next few months. I put a ++ sign for games that are likely to be ported to PS3 because they are built off the same engine Capcom made for mulitplats such as RE5 called the Framework Engine. The rest of the games are not really enough to make me want a 360 over the PS3 and a Blu Ray player. Granted some of them are good and I will probably buy a 360 when they drop in price but not yet. Lets face it, the build quality on the 360 has been dubious at best. I want to wait for a while more until further revisions with better features come out. There have been very little reported problems with the PS3 other than those kiosk versions. I don't know anyone who has a Kiosk in their home so I guess those are irrelevant.

My response was to someone who said "what game makes Xbox 360 a worthy purchase. nothing, just gears of war."  I posted several games that make it worth a $400 purchase, especially if you don't own a PS3.  Also, we're talking a LONG wait for some of those games to finally grace the PS3, and the ones you put ++ to may never happen.

I plan on buying a PS3 when I can justify the price.  I don't own an HD televison so Bluray doesn't mean anything until I do, or they release some huge games.  Also, the highest profile exclusives may not even be out in 2007 and several games I've seen hyped on gamespot have been based on CGI targets.


As far as build quality, I held off on a 360 purchace because of reports of faulty systems.  I bought mine in June and purchased an extended 2 year warranty.  I have had zero problems.  Compare that to the Wii,  I'm on my third system.  It stinks that the 360 had faulty systems but with the one year warranty, you're most likely going to catch if you have a good system or not.
