The early spin in that thread is that of course. This was obviously going to happen (even though very few people predicted it). This was to be expected since MW 2 was such a big game and is identified with the 360.

This will be the biggest fanboy war thread on GAF in quite awhile.

What are you guys talking about? Modern Warfare 2 is pretty great, and arguably one of the best multiplayer games on a console. I guess if you're a butthurt JRPG fan, it must suck, but for people that like good games, it's awesome.

Even the single player, with its stupid storyline and completely disposable gameplay, is fun enough to play through.

I don't think it's foul, but something natural to expect from a big game launch, especially when the EXISTING userbase is already so skewed 2:1.

Obviously something that moves 6 million units in 3 weeks is going to move consoles more than 2-month old price drops.

It's bizarre to see Dragon Age on the charts. And I honestly thought that the PC version would outsell its console counterpart, simply because the game might have been a little too "hardcore" for mainstream audiences (but in the PC gamer's wheel house).

Also, strong numbers for Left 4 Dead 2. Some boycott.

PC games are tracked separately I believe. Things like Sims 3 or Warcraft expansions would make it on a list like this (and that's pretty much it) but like I said, they are tracked on their own by NPD.

I so love people like this

I've always enjoy sales numbers for the same reason I love sports stats. It's interesting to dispassionately observe trends and movements of a hobby I like.

But when you put your heart and soul into wishing that a piece of hardware or software justifies your love or your world view based on sales numbers. You deserve to be mocked endlessly.

Also Wii is the true beast.

Quote
"While there has been a lot of focus on Wii sales as compared to last year, the system was still the best-selling console system by a margin of 54%. At this same point in the PS2 lifecycle, the PS2 was down in unit sales by 23% over the previous year, but as history has shown, it continues to have a great deal of life left in it. So focusing on a comparison to Wii's stellar 2008 performance masks the reality of just how well this system is selling."

The best part about all the fanboy tears is the insistence of some people that the PlayStation 3 is going to overtake the Xbox 360 in terms of sales... eventually. Microsoft is moving towards their fifth year with the Xbox 360, do they really care at this point?

i think they would have gotten some more if a PS3 version existed since the sony fans would love to buy it regardless.

But the cost to get it running good enough could have been a factor.

i dont get it either since the US gap is too large IMO, they should be glad that the PS3 is still selling enough hardware and getting games.

Valve should have turned L4D1 into an XBLA game like they did with Portal.  There is probably appeal in having it on your HD at all times.

that's actually a bad idea.  I can't think of something else to edit in to hide it.

at 120-fucking-dollars, those sales for Tony Hawk are phenomenal.  If it had debuted at a mere 30 bucks cheaper I can guarantee it would have sold at least twice as much.

If Activision didn't have MW2 to carry them this season, they'd be drowning in red ink over Tony Hawk and DJ Hero.

To be fair, Uncharted 2 is seriously the first legitimate first-party title that Sony has released and lived up to the hoopla. If it was released on the Xbox 360, it probably would have sold a billion copies. Certainly as many as Dragon Age, which charted in the Top 10.

Uncharted 2 is a legit great game. (I would characterize that as distinctly different than some of the other franchises like Resistance or Killzone 2 which are good games, not great games that Sony fans tried to overboost to compete with the 360)

It's sold about as well as sony exclusives tend to sell this gen. Which is way below what 360 exclusives tend to sell.

Things start to reach the annonying level when people start trying to post in a manner of what other people should buy and be interested in.

Each platform fanboy has their unique quirks.

The Sony fanboy quirk is absolutely utter rage at a universe they can't comprehend. They have the more powerful system this time, and finally the good games at a somewhat reasonable price and they are still getting beat. It drives them insane.

Were people in the NPD prediction thread expecting the PS3 to win, is that the source of the outrage? I figured it would be assumed that MS would take the month, what with MW2 being so tightly connected to the brand.

This does mesh with the "musings" thread; plenty of PS3s sold, not so much software. Shame about Uncharted 2 not doing better, but I'm guessing it's about on par with expectations. There's just this weird, massive gap between good retail performance and stuff like MW, Halo or GTA (or whatever strange hits Nintendo has), and no PS3 exclusive will ever do that well.

Sony cockteased fans with bragging about its Black Friday numbers, so a NPD victory seemed like a slam dunk. I didn't really get it either, because I believe I stated just last month that Call of Duty is pretty much synonymous with Xbox at this point.

I mean, if the Best Buy and Wal-Mart ads were to be believed, Modern Warfare 2 wasn't even released for the PlayStation 3.

In the end, this proves what I said all along, that Microsoft has the strongest platform for online content, which has been the catalyst for sales this generation. Sony could offer free handjobs, and it'd still be in second place.

That said, we need Sony to exist and thrive, so that gamers can force Microsoft to offer Xbox Live for free one day.

The thing is although it's stupidly complicated for no good reason it does have the higher top end. There are no 360 games that will look as good as Uncharted 2 or Killzone 2. (Although for the majority of games the 360 version is better when it comes to multiplatform stuff which is where the bulk of software is going to be sold so arguably it's a moot point anyway)

What these people (and a certain bulk of the PC audience never seems to get) is that pure graphics power is immaterial. It's why the PS 2 beat its rivals. It's why historically having the best graphics means jack shit. Because normal people just play and enjoy games they like. They don't do Digital Foundry style wanking over textures.

Almost no one picked 360 over PS3 this month. Especially on the analyst side. That lead to increased expectations from the fanboys who care about such things.

We shall see. I don't think it will happen and honestly it doesn't matter if it happens or not which is my larger point. The best graphics don't matter. They never have and they never will. Some 360 fanboys are embarrassed to admit that Uncharted 2 or Killzone 2 look better than stuff on the 360. They shouldn't be. Who cares? It doesn't matter. The games that people want to play at the price that people want to pay is what matters.

Added with the fact that MS's reaction to their BF numbers were not as enthusiastic (to be fair it possibly wasn't and the overall month made them the victor).

It would be interesting if they had the same features as live and still be free, would it change.

I already stated that I think a proper consortium that creates standard hardware specifications for consoles is the only way for the industry to avoid a catastrophic meltdown down the line. The system that is currently in place is not sustainable, for manufacturers or publishers. It was largely prevented this time around, but that's just because the software side consolidated instead of folded.

Fanboys can even having their pissing arguments, warring over which manufacturer makes the highest quality system and has superior multimedia support.

I'll say it doesn't matter. Whether the 360 has games that look as good as the best on the PS3 doesn't matter. To normal people the graphics on both consoles look the exact same. For the hardcore crowd, whether it's true or not, or whether it is only the case for the moment or forever, there is a perception that the top end PS3 games look better than the top end 360 games. I'm saying either way it's a completely moot argument.

Modern Warfare 2 doesn't look as good as Killzone 2 and it just outsold it lifetime in probably a few days. The only part I'm really arguing is that there is too much attention on the graphics as the sole reason why people play games. When genre, frame rate, tone, theme, innovation, past product history, etc all play a part. It doesn't matter which one has the better graphics. For 95% of the buying audience there is no appreciable difference or it doesnt matter if there is.

I don't think I disagreed that Uncharted 2 looks pretty baller right now, but you're kidding yourself if you think there won't be anything developed for the 360 that will exceed it. It's just a matter of time.

I remember when folks said PS2 would never touch Xbox, but that got disproven.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks Banjo: Nuts and Bolts is the best looking game so far this gen. Granted I haven't played Uncharted 2 yet, but it at least looks better than Grayscale: The Game.

Banjo Nuts and Bolts ran really poor, though.  That's one thing that pisses me off.  It's nice and all to make a game look great, but not if it won't run at a solid 30 and be chugging like crazy.  KZ2 chugged a lot too, and that's one reason why Uncharted 2 is so impressive.  It's not just that the game looks great, there is no tearing, great image quality, and a solid 30 at all times.

I honestly don't see how any game would overtake Uncharted 2. I can't think of many ways to improve upon it, other than more AA, better texture filtering and such, but even those things are pretty great the way they are. Gears 3 can probably astound us with wicked monsters and more destroyed beauty, but there is a pretty sizable gap between Gears 2 and Uncharted 2.

Short of MS having had some secret team plugging away on Incredible Looking Exclusive since the dawn of the generation, I don't see it happening.

I think the hardcore portion of the market has skewed things where graphics are only "the best" and then everything else. Normal people and gamers don't do that. It's a much more varied view they have than that. And they look at the entire game as a complete package. Not just how dope are these graphics in a texture sense and that therefore then makes a certain game, the best of all time. 

For me personally I've never been a graphics snob on any platform. I do tend to be a frame rate snob because I believe that contributes to actual gameplay.

Again, this statement never pans out. Developers always do more with hardware, it always happens. Even if Gears 3 was the best looking game of all-time - and who knows, maybe it will be - I would expect another game on the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 to inevitably surpass it.

Otherwise, I agree with Stoney's argument.

But how? What can be improved upon, and which studio is going to do it? Very little about Uncharted 2 feels compromised, which makes it different from KZ and Gears (or Uncharted 1, for that matter). And while developers can always mine more from the ore, isn't one of the oft mentioned strengths of the 360 that it is significantly easier to get performance results out of the system?

The graphics thing is such a dead end argument imo.

Dragon Age looks like shit. On my powerful PC. It looks like crap. But it doesn't matter because the game rocks.

Modern Warfare looks pretty good. Not as good as Killzone 2 of course but pretty good. And it moves and controls better for normal people and feels right because of the high framerate. That is why it is so popular and sells. Good games sell for a lot of reasons beyond textures.

Also just wanted to say this is a quality post.

Do you seriously want to argue that Uncharted 2 represents the zenith of console gaming, in terms of visuals? If so, I am going to save this post, so we can look back and have a laugh a year or two from now when something inevitably looks better than it.

Hey, it would be nice to be wrong so I'd take the mockery with a spit and a smile, I just don't see it happening. Uncharted 2 doesn't have enough blatant compromises, and studios like Naughty Dog don't grow on trees, especially not on the 3rdpartybox. Of course, with sales performance being what it is, it's questionable whether or not Sony is going to be pushing this angle either.

That said, it would be nice if they could do something about the damn eyes for the next one.

oh ya, nothing will ever look better than U2 on 360  :lol ever  :lol

I guess I'll just have to retract my whole fucking argument now.  :-\

I'd like to see one example of a 360 game that has anyweres near the field of vision that u2 has. Sony has always had games that convey the most beautiful backgrounds between metal gear solid on psx, god of war 2 on ps2, and uncharted 2 on ps3.

The Wii thing is unsurprising. I didn't go to any black friday sales, but we ventured out the day after, and there were old bats with Wiis everywhere. The console of choice for grandmas buying gifts for their grandkids for sure.

Cryengine 3 and id tech 5 are both on the horizon, so I wouldn't start handing out awards just yet.

Were people in the NPD prediction thread expecting the PS3 to win, is that the source of the outrage? I figured it would be assumed that MS would take the month, what with MW2 being so tightly connected to the brand.

Crytek would be the studio to fuck up the argument for sure. I hope they can bring that whole "Jesus Crysis" factor to consoles. Their games also play real well, so it's a good addition for sure.

Seems weird. Did they just sort of forget about MW2, or did they assume that all that crosspromoting was just a waste of money?

What are you guys talking about? Modern Warfare 2 is pretty great, and arguably one of the best multiplayer games on a console. I guess if you're a butthurt JRPG fan, it must suck, but for people that like good games, it's awesome.

Even the single player, with its stupid storyline and completely disposable gameplay, is fun enough to play through.

Most RPG fans don't give a rats ass about sales, nice try tho.

Got COD4 for free, played it, got bored right away. No interest in this new one, myself.

Off the top of my head, I liked Batman AA, Dragon Age, and Assassin's Creed 2 more than U2 and that was just within the past 6 months or so. Looking back further I'd include stuff like Fallout 3, Dead Space, etc.  The 3rd party stuff this generation has been exponentially more interesting than the 1st party titles imo.

I liked U2 and think it's a good game but I'm not swallowing this Alpha and Omega of the PS3 nonsense just because it's an exclusive.
