Well PS3 players tend to be more spread out through genres while 360 owners tend to lean towards FPS more.

Also Uncharted 2 and the other exclusives have left some of us with empty pockets.

Anyone else notices when a PS3 exclusive FPS comes out, there's a slew of "ANOTHER FPS game?" and "We're sick of FPS"; but when... ahem, ANOTHER FPS GAME comes out that multiplatform, everyone jumps on the numbers game and point to the PS3's version in terms of "not selling well"?

With three AAA exclusive games, all three using the cell processor properly, mind you, what makes anyone think that Modern Warfare 2, a game that not only is overpriced, but insults gamers with it's overall presentation, is worth getting at full price?

NicCageMYHero - 48 days 13 hours ago

I think they mean PS3 preorders as a % of 360 preorders. Meaning in the COD case that if 100 people preordered MW2 360, only 38 people preordered MW2 PS3. With the 100.4%, if 1000 people preordered it on 360, 1004 preordered in on PS3.

Exias - 48 days 13 hours ago

The 100.4% can be correct. He's comparing PS3 preorders to 360. Just means that the PS3 has slightly more preorders than the 360 for that game. If it was 200%, then the PS3 would have 2X the preorders than the 360.

"Why have burgers when we have steak on the Menu"

That's just ignorant. You have to admit that there are some good multi-plats coming out and to stick with just the exclusives means you miss out on quite a few good games. Yes Sony has some amazing developers on hand, but you have to give credit where credit is due. Quit being fanboys and accept that multi-plats can be fun. I'm so sick of the "I'm too busy playing UC2 and Demon's Souls" excuse. Grow the f*$k up!

And that's Forza 3. The only other game any of them are going to buy for the rest of this year is MW2. They couldn't care less what they pay for it either. If Activision priced it at $99.99 they'd pay it.

AS a PS3 owner I've got plenty of FPSers, COD MW1, COD WAW, KZ2, Far Cry 2 and Resistance 1 + 2.

I'll be waiting for MAG to come out before I buy another.

If I come across a used copy of MW2 for about $20 I might buy it.

ABizzel1 - 48 days 11 hours ago

PS3 gamers are just different from 360 gamers. Not to mention there are almost twice as many 360 users in America meaning the PS3 percentage should be around 55% of what the 360 sells.

From these pre-order sells it's obvious PS3 gamer like Action games more than 360 gamers since the Dante's Inferno (God of War 2.5 for PS3 gamers) pre-order sells are more than the 360 (Good luck Bayonetta you chose the wrong console to do your best on).

Tony Hawk has always been on the PlayStation hardware since the PS1, so it'll do well from here on out.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 just looks absolutely amazing and EA has done a complete overhaul of the game and EA is also one of the developers who have come to grasp with the PS3 and want to get more out of it which is why it's so high up.

Assassin's Creed 1 was a great attempt by Ubisoft with the PS3. It was one of the better ports early in the consoles life, but it was boring so people are going to be more cautious this time around until they know for sure it's a better game.

Dragon Age is getting good reviews, but Bioware postponing the PS3 version then moving it back up rubbed a lot of them the wrong way, and their iffy about what went down. And PS3 owners already got a great RPG a month ago Demon's Souls and they may not be ready to move on yet (maybe a December).

Finally Modern Warfare 2. Activision talked crap about the PS3, and how if Sony didn't cut the price they weren't going to support the PS3 anymore. Activision has done nothing revolutionary this gen except Call of Duty: Modern Warfare every other game has been OK. Modern Warfare 2 seems like more of the same with slight tweaks to graphics and gameplay. Battlefield Bad Company looks like it 1uped everything Call of Duty is doing so PS3 gamers are willing to wait to get the better game (if BBC2 is better). All these thing put a damper on Modern Warfare 2. Infinity Ward needs to leave Activision and do their own thing. Oh and some people may be getting shooter fatigue. That's all the really comes out now shooter after shooter after shooter.

Lets be realistic here 360 owners have not had that many games this year compared to what ps3 owners have.
this will no doubt be the biggest game this year for any 360 owner so you can gaurantee that most of them will buy this game because of my first point.
like i said ps3 owners have had lots of good games come out this year so some of them will be either:
1. ill wait a few month's first i gotta finish the other games off
2. i dont need another fps i already have kz2 resistance 2 mw1
3. i am not paying over the odds for a game.

Wheras 360 owners will pay over the odds because this is he biggest game of the year for them

Simple

Dont get me wrong i am getting mw2 i really enjoyed the first 1 but honestly that does make sense

Edit

Also just realised but for those hardcore ps3 fanboys out there, they gotta be pissed @ activision, has any one seen any mw2 trailer or add whatever with the ps3 logo at the end of it??. like they showing no support to ps3 at all

Guys,

What is happening today with gamers. I had a fight yesterday with a friend of mine as he was making fun of Microsoft for not selling Bayonetta as much as Sony was in Japan. Really, what constructive results are achieved with such limited vision? Gamers are people who love all good games. That is the defintion. How can Uncharted 2 compensate for MW2, its not like they are simiar genres or games, they are both amazing games as I have got my hands on both (yes the pirate version, but I am buying it when it comes out because it's that good). How can demon's soul fill in the gap of the new GTA DLC? Why pass on Forza 3 if it is already here and is a good game? What is wrong with the other console having a good game? I dont understand why a gamer will refuse to touch gears of war, or left for dead just because its not on PS3, and the opposite is true. However this site is starting to get on my nerves. It is almost time to change its name from n4g to n4f (new for fanboys). Their is something weird going on and its sickening. People passing games that score 90+ just because they are on some other console. I owned a NES and SNES, PS2 and DC, XBOX1 and PS2 and now 360 and PS3 and will continue to buy all consoles because I am a gamer and you guys are fanboys.

to allude to why I'm delaying getting this game: Activision are a bunch of a-holes and Bobby Kotick is their supreme commander, he's a douche amongst douches, and doesn't deserve a dollar from me just yet, I'm waiting for a bit before I consider that game. As to why PS3 pre-orders aren't up? I can only guess, but perhaps more PS3 gamers are either spending money on other games as has been noted, are a different kind of gamer (which is true), or the install base is a reasoning. This doesn't even touch on how underwhelming the game appears to me, it looks like Modern Warfare 1.5, and they've had a whole 2 years.

I mean it, I became sickened by Kotick's words and rants, and I'm showing it with my wallet.

Dont assume you know the argument that I had with him. He was a blind hater. I have all the consoles. He just refused to buy a 360 after he had his first RROD. Now since he had it modified to play copies, he knew the risk. Now he just bashes the 360 for no reason, and I, love my 360 and ps3 equally. It is not like the 360 gives me better BJ's I love both consoles. My Jasper is a hard fighter and has never broken on me. And if it does, the warranty provider is 5 minutes away from me, I can get my 360 fixed in less than a week. I hate blind haters. All types and kinds. MW2 is a great FPS (on 360 or PS3). I have been playing killzone 2 and MW2 at the same time and gameplay, MW2 sure rocks hard. To pass it, saying uncharted is here, is like a 360 guy saying he will pass GOW3 on ps3 because Forza 3 is here. See the issue?

it's odd that you cannot understand simple English: "maths" is not a word.

Can't you admit that Kotick is a Sony-hating A-hole, though, he did kind of ask for it, if that does happen to be the reason, know what I mean? He's a flat out jerk.

Seriously, it's not that hard of a concept people, the attach rates are pretty equal when you consider time on the market for each console, so it DOES compute somehow.
