8) PS3 is beating the 360 in Japan and Europe.
7) The PSP is helping.
6) The other guys may screw up(I.E. Multiplatform Mass Effect)
5) PS3 ports will start to shine.
4) Blu-Ray is winning.
3) PS3 empowers the players(I.E. LBP and SINGSTAR)
2) Home releases this year, maybe...
1) The Games.
P.S.
-MGS4 is the anwser to Splinter Cell
-GT5:P is the anwser to Forza 2
-Killzone 2 / Resistance 2 is the anwser to Halo 3
-FF13 is the anwser to Mass Effect and Fable 2
-Socom is the answer to GRAW2
-Infamous is the anwser to crackdown
(Note: All PS3 games listed are 2008 titles)
Holy Shit guys, I'm a believer. Time to sell my Xbox and get the PS3 with all those superior games. Big thanks to EGM for showing me the light.
-
Socom???
:rofl
-
:lol Did you get this from latest EGM? I have to find my issue.
-
People always underrate Socom when it comes to popularity.
I never underrated it for popularity. I do think the series is mediocre, though.
-
more like this:
8.) Blu-Ray is winning.
7.) GTA4 (sorry MGS4)
6.) Blu-Ray is winning.
5.) Blu-Ray is winning.
4.) Blu-Ray is winning.
3.) Blu-Ray is winning.
2.) Blu-Ray is winning.
1.) Blu-Ray is winning.
imo, 360 will continue to dominate software sales in 2008.

Sony really needs to start paying Shane for all of his hard PR work.

shane wrote the article?
-
I dunno, banking on 'the other guys screwing up' and a media format 'winning' isnt really filling me with confidence.
-
i don't even understand what the criteria is for winning. i'm assuming hardware sales. ???
-
Software sustains, hardware sales are bunk. Software sales for PS2 is why the PS3 is still alive
-
I honestly don't know who they're writing for anymore. I'm pretty sure the only thing in the world that would make the "console wars" interesting to people not employed in the videogame industry is an advanced form of autism.

8 Reasons why PS3 will make comeback in 2008
8. Fanboy hopes and dreams.
7. Unicorn tears.
6. Fairy dust.
5. Leprechaun gold.
4. The power of love.
3. Santa Claus.
2. World peace and prosperity.
1. The mass market suddenly starts caring about HD. (lol, just kidding that one's not going to happen)
-
on what fucking planet are mgs and gt answers to splinter cell and forza
maybe if the question is 'what game is this a misbegotten clone of'
-
honestly, the wii is more lilkely to make a comeback (in terms of good games) and it doesn't have a chance in hell.
edit: oh it's some shane bullshit or something. :rofl

It may be popular, but I don't like it.

You don't have to. I was merely remarking that when it comes in conversations about the playstation it always seems people completely discount it.
Oh no, I don't underestimate it's popularity. A lot of my friends who own PS2s love that series, but I just can't figure it out personally. Socom games sold like gangbusters on the PS2, it will be interesting to see how the PS3 iterations do.
-
SOCOM is like building a skyscraper on top of a card table.
"PS3 in 08" really bothers gaming forum denizens a bit too much.

SOCOM is good if you've never played Ghost Recon/Rainbow Six.
-
Had no idea that SOCOM was that popular, but they seem to churn out sequels like cheap factory-made toys, so that would make sense. Still, with MGS4 all but confirmed for 360, the FFXIII games, Wipeout HD and maybe White Knight are the only interesting things on the Sony horizon.
-
With regards to Socom, I enjoyed Socom on the PS2 for about 3 hours. Then I stopped playing it.
The brand recognition of Sony will be enough to topple the 360 momentum. Will it happen this year? Most likely not, Sony needs some exclusive titles to be released for it in order for that to happen - titles that will not go to the 360 after x amount of time *cough* MGS3 *cough*
Regarding the info thrown out by EGM, that's ALL PR bullshit. And I mean ALL PR bullshit.
PS3 empowers players? WTF. I swear, more and more video game journalist are starting to write with angles as bad as Fox News.
-
Why would Socom be an answer to a multiplatform title?????

if you think it bothers them now, wait til microsoft's 'unannounced 08 games' fail to materialize
-
(http://www.forgotten-gamer.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sonyflag.gif)
-
well, at least we agree that microsoft's announced lineup is somewhere between risible and nonexistent
look, i'll be happy if i can add to my 360 shopping list for 08, which currently reads
1. ninja gaiden 2
but i can't recall many big games that were announced less than a year from release. if a whole lineup improbably appears, then great -- but if it doesn't appear and xbots start squirming, i can live with that too
-
Banjo 3 and NG2 are all i need.
other games are welcome but these two are a must.
-
gdc next week -- i guess that's our first chance for TEH MEGATONS
for multiplatform games, i go with whichever version has better graphics. i'm trying to remember what multiplat games i'm buying this year...fallout 3 and brutal legend off the top of my head. maybe gta4.
-
obviously you've never seen my pc!
-
PC gaming is for old people.

well if it isnt my favourite poster David Coyles. how's the wife david?

Like it or not, the PS3 is actually accelerating. Which, to be honest, it should considering its dismal first year. But it is actually picking up pretty respectably. It's only a matter of time as to when it crosses the 360, IMO-- I predict sometime in the middle of next year based on the PS3 sales in the UK we just saw.
Whether or not you want to believe this is "significant" or not is a whole different argument....but I was not aware the 360 was flopping around that weirdly in Europe.
Granted I don't care. I'm going to continue to do most of my gaming on the 360, which has better versions of multiplat games. And that's the case for the forseeable future, so dont care much lulz
-
Banjo 3 and NG2 are all i need.

For me, it's all about Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, and the probable SO4...

Does it really matter for us gamers in NA even if the PS3 passes the 360 worldwide? The best scenario for the PS3 is that it becomes a distant 2nd in Europe/Japan and a distant 3rd in the US,which means that it becomes this gen's Gamecube. In NA, the Xbox owned the GC in terms of software support, despite trailing the GC worldwide. I think a similar situation will occur if the PS3 does pass the 360 worldwide. Games like GTA4, COD4, and maybe even DMC4 and RE5 will continue to sell significantly more on the 360, due to the 360's big lead here. That means that outside of quirky Japanese games, there won't be many 3rd party games going PS3 exclusive.

Okay that was my next sentence. Did you really read the entire post or just read the sentence and fly to the post reply button?
