[QUOTE="nhh18"]ODST is a significantly bigger game than uncharted 2. Alot bigger. I mean sony won't have a game that sells over 1 million in USA. ODST is going to sell at least 3 million probably 4 to 5 million. Alan wake, Mass effect, and splinter cell conviction together won't sell as much as halo odst. God of war 3, and GT5 will outsell uncharted 2. What can they do about ODST being a "bigger game?" Granted, Uncharted 2 managed to increase the campaign length by 33% over the last game instead of a dramatic reduction in length and managed to add an entire competitive multiplayer component and cooperative modes. So if you're talking about the size of the actual game, Uncharted 2 is unquestionably "larger," versus the game with a 4-6 hour long campaign (by most reviewers' accounts) and a single new game mode (Firefight), no cooperative play campaign, and a whopping 3 new maps. ODST sells more because before ODST is the name "Halo 3," which tends to cause a bit of buzz. Anyway, regarding those other games, they're simply not finished yet. Who cares? I'd rather play a complete game than a hackjob. Besides, I'm of the camp that tends to believe that games should migrate AWAY from the holiday season and TOWARDS the game droughts of summer and spring. This is a great trend from all sides. I think ODST will see a significant sales reduction once people realize it's basically Halo 3 with a little bit of new content on the side. First off ODST has co op its just not recommended by IGN to play since they say it breaks the tension at night SECONDLY you talk about 33% longer campaign right? You do understand just a single odst playlist will offer someone dozens upon dozens of hours right? Yes I know UC2 has MP but seriously you've seen the videos of it and let the numbers talk when theres only 20-100k ppl on everyday 2-3 months after release. Just so you know firefight on its own would take you 4-5 hours on legendary ON ONE MAP!!!! each map has different things to do ( some your against a wall and fight, while others your in the middle of a city) Funny how you say only 3 maps ( one being midship) I can guarantee you more people in its lifetime will play the ODST map Midship than ALL of UC2's multiplayer combined[QUOTE="Brownesque"]And all Microsoft has this holiday season is ODST and Forza 3. What's your point? Not to mention all the 3rd parties on 360 migrated their games into Q1 2010.....Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, and Alan Wake have all been delayed from Q4 09 to Q1 2010.Brownesque
