It would be impressive if it outsold the 360 by that much every month from here on, but one month isn't really a big deal.

MS is still in the drivers seat, at least for next-gen consoles.

I can't believe list wars broke out on EB. Let's get a hold of ourselves here.

Yeah but they'll never get out of hand because we don't have a large asspie contingency here.  We got EmCeeGrammar but I don't think he rolls that way.

As far as future software devlopment, I'm not nearly as bleak on the future of the 360 versus the PS3 as some. People have always said that the PS3 exclusives would pull them ahead and that has never been the case. What has pulled them ahead is price parity and potentially more features out of the box meaning a blu-ray player. I think people tend to overplay the strength of the sony exclusives.

In the first quarter alone Microsoft has Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, and Splinter Cell.

That being said it's a fact that Sony has a stronger first party stable of developers than Microsoft who has had to rely on buying exclusives rather than creating them from their stable outside of Halo of course. That is a weakness and something Microsoft really needs to improve on.

I posted this in the beatles thread but its really more at home in this thread.

Quote
With this month's NPD figures showing that Harmonix's The Beatles: Rock Band outsold Neversoft's Guitar Hero V, Beatles publisher MTV Games wants to set the record straight on some misconceptions about music games and the Activision/MTV battle.

"We outsold them two-to-one on a revenue basis and we outperformed on a unit basis as well, despite the fact that they had an eight-day advantage, and were giving away free software," said MTV Games general manager Scott Guthrie to Gamasutra, referencing Activision's offer of a free copy of Van Halen with Guitar Hero V. "At the end of the day, The Beatles: Rock Band clearly outperformed them, and we're not done yet. We're anticipating a very successful holiday period."

The Beatles outsold Guitar Hero V by about 20 percent on a unit basis, according to further NPD data sourced by IndustryGamers, but Guthrie's claim to Gamasutra of doubled revenue suggests Beatles consumers may have been willing to spend more on the game's multi-instrument bundle -- suggesting in turn that the game may have attracted more new consumers who don't already have plastic instruments in their home.

"Dan Rosensweig, head of the Guitar Hero division at Activision, told the Financial Times it had seen no impact from the heavily-marketed Beatles game. 'It did not affect our sales'. He added that Guitar Hero outsold Rock Band by four to one in the US and nine to one in other markets."

This thread sucks, but notables:

Alan Wake doesn't deserve to be mentioned with Halo Reach & Gears 3.  A horror mystery game?  Yeah that's really going to sell millions and move systems because it was "made by the makers of max payne"  ::)  It'll be great for the hardcore gamers, but it's not a major exclusive for sales.

Uncharted 2 isn't either.  Maybe it's a better game than Uncharted 1, but it's not going to perform that differently.  It's the same game that only sold to the Sfans in the first place in a new location with gameplay upgrades.  There's no reason why it'll be "break into the mainstream".

Sony has no exclusive on the PS3 with broad mainstream appeal like Halo and Gears.  They will next year with GT5 and GoW3, but right now they have good exclusives, just not mainstream average joe appeal exclusives.  MS has lots of good exclusives, but only Halo and Gears are average joe appeal system mover exclusives.  

And XBLA and PSN both have some AAA downloadable exclusive titles.  They're both great though PSN needs DEMOS and PICTURES.  I can't believe you don't even get a fucking screenshot every week when some random PSN game you've never heard of goes on sale for $10.  Yeah I'm going to spend $10 on a paragraph of text  ::) 
/note PSN Japan has pictures for everything they sell.  Hence why I buy a good amount of Japan PSN games and almost no US PSN ones.

The PS3 number in and of itself is not overly impressive, considering the price drop and model change, but neither is the 360 number in the face of Pro SKU liquidation and a price drop on the Elite. ODST doesn't appear to be much of a system seller, which isn't surprising since the Halo crowd has been entrenched for years.

I'm not exactly giddy if I'm Sony, but Microsoft shouldn't be comfortable either. 350K over 5 weeks with a price, shall we say, reshuffling isn't a strong performance. I agree with what a poster earlier in the thread said, Microsoft may need to make a bolder statement to regain their price advantage over Sony (among similar SKUs), and probably shave $20 or so off the Arcade. $50 would be better, but I sort of doubt the arcade gets to $149 until its final price drop.

Taking out the most important feature of the game will cripple it.  Gran Turismo PSP is an exercise in "rope a dope."  I'm still assuming that most of this game was done in 2004 and 2005, shelved for a while, and then slapped together in a few months to shove out the door to hold GT fans off until GT5.

Also, yeah, the numbers will be higher than 18k.  Question is by how much.  Until there is a solid, reliable way of tracking unique downloads off of PSN from an independent source, we have nothing reliable to go off of.

They're doing fine in a recession and over halfway through a generation that's on its way out.  The userbase is just split across the platforms.  If you added the PS3/X360/Wii numbers together each month you'd still see a strong hardware sales generation.  Last time it was the PS2 and....nothing.  Now it's split.  Plus two handhelds, one being ultra strong.

Yeah.  I'm not saying the PSN numbers will save PSP games.  But it's a matter of fact they are being underballed on charts whether it's NPD or Media-create and we have no way of knowing what PSP games really sell.

Well if Sony did it, good for them.  I don't know how they suddenly got a public who didn't care about the first one interested in a sequel, but congrats to them.

I don't think there's going to be a massive surge for Uncharted 2 over the original on the whole, but it may have a strong debut similar to God of War 2 versus God of War 1. GoW really took off when it hit $20, which doesn't happen as often as you might think. Those latecomers seemed to turn out in force for the sequel when it released. I don't know what kind of legs Uncharted has had, but it's possible the sequel could follow a similar pattern.

That said, I personally don't believe in-generation sequels are game changers, particularly this late into a generation. I think the system sellers that are known properties and sequels push systems at the beginning of a generation, within the first year or two. What pushes systems late into a generation are the lower prices, overall catalogs, and the fresh idea that seemingly comes out of nowhere.

i think the chances of seeing ninja gaiden 3 are very low. hope i'm wrong :'(

The team is half gone, and MS probably has 0 interest in funding a game that's exactly the same shit AGAIN that will be ported to another console a year later.

NOW WITH MORE LOADING AND TEARING FOR ALL


Also just kind of a boring game in general.  It's like the smaller battles from the first one with the lamer AI from the second one and absolutely no good boss battles.  Come to think of it, i'm trading that shit in towards borderlands tomorrow...

don't think i shat on sigma 2 after playing it. sigma 1 on the other hand can take its loading and burn in hell!

I just pulled one, 600k or more by next NPD.

seems like a realistic prediction
