[QUOTE="Eltroz"]Acording to wikipedia Too Human is tops and Shenmue is second. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Too_HumanSays Too Human is 80-100 million.foxhound_fox


Sweet fancy moses! They are never going to turn a profit on that game... and it was supposed to come out on the Cube too... -_-

And the PS1. The only game that I know of thats been in development longer is DNF, and I'm pretty sure that its a running joke. I think because of allthe exclusivity agreementsand publishers that Too Human has had (Nintendo, MGS, and whoever was going topublish the PS1 version) that Sillicon Knightsand MSwill actually profit from it (assuming it lives upto hype/sells) because most of the time its been someone else footing the bill.

5 bucks says by the time this format war is over we're already well on our way to 100% digital distribution. Now that would be a kick in the pants for Toshiba and Sony!

MGS would be good if they could keep the story under control (right now I'm playing Portable Ops and the last MGS game I played was the first one, I have no f***ing idea whats going on) then it would work for sure, but Halo seems like it would translate pretty well to film.

Those games will help sales for sure, but I have a feeling that by the time the really big titles are out (namely FF and GT) it'll be too little too late. The 360 has a huge lineup for the remainder of 2007 which along with a price cut (which should happen this year) it'll get a big sales boost, and the Wii is well... the Wii. I'm sure the PS3 will be successful, just not as much as the competition.

I didn't know the Japanese are so keen on golf.Mudig
Yeah its big over in southeast asia. Hot Shots might help Japanese sales but I don't see it doing much globally, not withthe Tiger Woods franchise out too.

First, MS reached its sales goal for 2006 and sold 10.4 or 10.6 million consoles (can't remember which one). When MS sells a console, they sell it to a distributor. Its not like they ask EB nicely to sell their console and then EB sends them a check at the end of the week.

Second there are no accurate sales numbers except for the manufacturers numbers. Not even NPD numbers are accurate.

I have no doubt the 360 has a higher defection rate than the industry standard, but if it was as bad as it is made out to be the BBB or something would force a recall.

A lot of those Xbox 360 games are also on PC.smokeydabear076
Its a comparison between the consoles so "console exclusive" applies.

[QUOTE="pundog"]Thats what I'm thinking its going to score, sure it looks pretty but we haven't really seen anything revolutionary gameplay-wise so far.foxhound_fox


You should try and keep up to date with the game. There has been so much info about different parts concerning the gameplay. If you have not read these threads in the past you should do so. There is a ton of stuff Crysis will be bringing to the table in terms of gameplay. It will be the next "big-step" for PC FPS's. Like Half Life 2 was back in 2004.

Baddog posted a video of the Zero-G section of the game last night.

Sounds alot like Deus Ex to me. Not that that is bad or anything.
