Not from the many articles I have been reading... The PS3 is selling quite well.kodos wrote:The sales have been good?

The only console with good sales is the Wii.
wii = Amazing sales
360 = OK sales
PS3 = Unbelievably terrible sales
EA is a joke when making PS3 games.. everyone should know this by now.. I hate the fact they are ones working on the Orange Box. Heavenly Sword, Rachet and Clank, Uncharted Drakes Fortune are all fantastic games, with plenty of great games coming.kodos wrote:Sony is still up shit creek.
Last quarter EA sold $218 million dollars worth of software on the 360 and $17 million on the PS3.
The 360 is outselling the PS3 about 3 to 1 in hardware sales.
Almost every multi-console game is superior on the 360.
If the PS3 has so much potential, why have we yet to see it? The system came out a year later and cost 50% more. Why did the games look worse?
The PS3 and the 360 are both very capable systems... the problem with the PS3 is that developers have to spend more time and money to get games to perform as well on their system as they do on the easy-to-program 360. And then when they do spend more time and money on the PS3 versions, they end up selling about 20% as much as the do on the 360.
How long do you think developers are going to continue to put up with that?
The PS1 and PS2 were popular because they had so much support from 3rd party developers. What incentive do developers have to put a lot of support into the PS3, when they can make so much more money on the Wii and 360?
Unless Sony does something totally drastic and insane... and soon... the Ps3 is destined to be this generations gamecube.
The PS3 has some great looking exclusive titles, but I don't know if it's going to be enough.
Rachet and Clank, which is arguably Sony's biggest game this fall, sold 74,000 copies in October, making it the #10 game for the month. That is a really bad sign.
PS3 price finally drops and I think you'll see those numbers even out a lot more. I do think Wii is a very underrated system, particularly by those on this board.kodos wrote:U.S. Sales since Wii and PS3 launch...

to be fair for Rachet and Clank.. it didn't even go on sale in Europe, Austrailia until the 2nd week of Nov.
Well I would still think that making the FF/MGS franchises multiplatform would benefit them more in the long run. They may get a bunch of money up front from Sony, but over a period of time with the 360 I bet they could make up the difference at the very least, possibly even more.STL JA wrote:Bingo.kodos wrote:A bunch of cash from Sony.

The single player is short, but oh so sweet. Multi-player is where it's at.
When you do get your PS3, go ahead and add me to your friend's list. I go by the same name as I do on here, only without the space.
