and to that i say. lair, heavenly sword, uncharted, etc etc were supposed to do the same thing for the ps3 this year. granted..i realize the titles you listed, will more than likely actually deliver, unlike the ones i listed. but you see what i'm getting at. i just want games..i'm tired of being told to wait. sony needs to deliver these games. make it happen!

lair, heavenly sword, and uncharted are all NEW IPs....even though they are AWESOME games in their own right...nobody is going to buy a 400 dollar system for games they dont know about....they will spend money on franchises that has proven themselves over and over again to being the best in gaming history ie metal gear series, gran turismo series, final fantasy series.

like i said....even with unknown new games and developers it has sold extremely well...imagine in 08 when all the big hitter come in

[Leopold BUTTERS]

the Nintendo DS sold 2 million in 1 week!!! Holy crap! I bet the NDS sells more than the ps2 did world wide.. its catching up at an alarming rate. That thing is crazy.

[tru_to_blu]

good point

And unfortunately neither can any stand alone BD player.

[What'sHD]

I expect a surge in BD sales post-Xmas, thanks to the PS3-sales effect, just like last year.

Will we have Nielsen's available this year too?

My brother got a PS3 for Christmas and my another brother's 360 got 3 red lights and got a new replacement, but he already mentioned to me that he will buy a PS3 so he can go Blu!!! ooops did I mentioned that my brother in law just got a PS3 too?

[What'sHD]

Nice. Let's all introduce/gift BDs to PS3 owners.

I am doing that with a vengeance at work.

I think you'll see a positive effect of HDTV penetration towards PS3, though at this point I think Nintendo has earned the right to say it's not just a fad.

well that's exaclty what FAD is, a trendy thing (no body really takes and cant take serously) but for the hype it is just selling, all i know is I haven't touched it since Feb 2007 and I got Wii on the launch day. All of my friends who have one, just HATING it now!!! and even kids hate it, one of my friends' kid told me that he JUST FREAKIN HATE THAT THING, even tho in the first 3 months, he was very excited... so that's a perfect explaination for FAD, I think they should use Wii as a refrence in a dictionary for FAD.

Well, their plan was to kill, when they got Paramount to their side. Only problem was, they still couldn't do the kill. So now they are just trying to survive. LoL
