Xbox 360 MW2 Outselling PS3 2-to-1

Amazon is putting up some interesting stats regarding Modern Warfare 2 that include the town that has the largest percentage of pre-orders by population and more importantly, which version of MW2 is selling the most. Currently, the Xbox 360 version is selling twice as many as the PS3 and six times as many as the PC.

[kissmeimgreek]

is it really that surprising?

[RememberThe357]

I'll be picking up Uncharted 2 today, so I'll be renting MF2.

[Keith Olbermann]

uncharted 2; ratchet; demon souls; god of war collection. Im broke and Im not paying extra for MW2. Sorry Activision..your a rental.

[lokiroo420]

Well twice as many 360's would lead to this outcome.

[Carl1412]

Good. Maybe Activision will abandon the PS3.

Sorry, wishful thinking.

Yes, i hate activision. Sorry

[ape007]

I'll get it on the xbox 360 for 4 reasons

1-XBOX LIVE,a service like xbl makes the experience in mw2 better

2-the controller is perfect for fps,perfectly fit in your hand+the amazing triggers make you feel like you are shooting a real gun

3-the ability to install games,this reduces the load times a lot,I installed cod4 and damn it loads like a thunder

4-360 version gonna have dlc before ps3 version

ps3 guys in here,I love my ps3 and I respect sony but some of you has reached a level where he just tap "disagree" for just seeing "I'll get it on xbox"

I wanna tell you that n4g became a trash,really,everytime I visit n4g the past few months,everything I see is just hate,extreme fanboyism,bashing everywhere etc....I just described my opinion,my personal opinion,If u disagreed,reply and tell me why

[morganfell]

Exactly. With all the PS3 titles coming down the pipe I have too much on my hands to pay attention to an egomaniac's product. I was hitting the R&C demo last night. Wow.

[Parapraxis]

I'va already decided to buy MW2 through ebay.

I am currently engulfed in Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls should be at my doorstep any day now. Add to that probably picking up R&C ACIT, Dragon Age Origins and Tekken 6, not only will I be broke, but I'll also have little time to invest in MW2. (and as with MW, I'll be playing it a lot)

By the time I get around to MW2 there should be either sales or used copies for a low price.

One of the good thing about it is I know there will be tons of people online if I were to buy the game day one, or wait a month and get it used.

COD does have longevity when it comes to MP, so getting it at a later date is of no worry to me.

For me, the sales of this game don't mean much. It's going to sell like mad, but after the decisions that Acti. has made for the PC version, buying it used feels like the right choice.

I'm just happy to know I have a ton of choices for what games to play in the next couple months. Sony has really broke my wallet with their lineup and I couldn't be happier.

[UnSelf]

Welcome to another episode of Basic Math 101 with Bubbles

Ok kids. Johnny and Steven both have $5. Johnny and Steven both loveeeeee oranges. Timmy however loves Apples, and he has $5 too. The oranges and apples sell at both $.25 each. If Johnny, Steven and Timmy all spend their money on what they love, who sells more, the Apple vendor? Or the Orange Vendor?

Anyone? Ok yes you with the N4G t-shirt.

N4g Member: "Umzmuzmz, Bungie?!!?

[iamtehpwn]

I have exclusives to play on PS3.
Uhm..as for MF2...uhm...Maybe I'll take a look at it for PC.

[HolyOrangeCows]

PS3 gamers will be playing Uncharted 2, R&C:aCiT, Demon's Souls, PixelJunk Shooter, GOW Collection, etc.

Who has time for generic shooters?

[v1c1ous]

please STOP with the amazon news !

[darthv72]

Everyone else is canceling their orders so wouldnt that make the 360 ones look better?

360 users are used to not having dedicated servers. Nothing new here.

[menoyou]

PS3 owners have way better things to buy. Too many unique and innovative games coming out to bother with MW2, which feels outdated after playing Killzone 2.

[Valkyre]

No, it is not surprising at all...

You see when you have 4 AAA exclusives per month on your machine aka PS3 (Uncharted 2, Demons Souls , Ratchet and Clank 2, GOW collection + GOW 3 demo) ,+ around 10 exclusives for the first quarter of 2010 then you are definitely gonna shaft some multiplat titles...hell MW2 is a rent for me until im done playing my exclusives ;)

Someone must be nuts to take MW2 over Uncharted 2 (97 metascore from 81 reviews thank you very much...)

So yeah, given the lack of 360 titles and exclusives, people are gonna preorder more copies of multiplats, much more when it comes to shooters pew pew!!! :D

[Darkstorn]

The 360 has the larger install base, and is a console more oriented towards shooters. I'm not surprised (plus, I've got to get back to Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2...)

[Greywulf]

I'm not supporting MW2 as a pc gamer, nor a PS3 gamer.

The 360 always has the drought effect of having nothing good to play till Halo or a popular multiplatform title pops up.

MW2 is a rehash of MW. No thanks.

[Mr Logic]

Not at all. PS3 gamers just have more game to play.

[Rainstorm81]

Well seeing as Microsoft is treating MW2 as thier game with the MW2 x360 bundle , timed exclusive DLC, and advertising money backing the microsoft version it should. Not to mention PS3 having twice as many games this Fall/Winter.

MW2 will be X360 biggest title this year undoubtedly.

Ill be picking up MW2 and the GOW collection on 11/10

@ape

2 of your reasons are opinion (MW2 will be mostly the same on PSN and XBL & some people like the ps3 controller better), while ps3 had game installtion since day one thats why people disagree.

[shadowfox]

News flash - there's 18 million 360s and 9 millions PS3s in the US. Sounds kinda like 2:1, doesn't it?

[ReviewsArePolitics]

PlayStation owners are more diversified in their love of particular genres. Furthermore, there are not as many movie buffs on the Xbox side as there are on the PlayStation side (which is why the attach rate for Sony is about 2 games lower per console, and about 1 first party game less per console)

Not really surprising and not really a reason to claim victory in the console war. I am not getting it but my roommate is getting it on PS3.

[ape007]

use your logic well,see how many gamers bought cod4,look at all these cod4 lovers on ps3 and look how much more units ps3 sold in two years after the release of cod4

no one can deny that mw2 ps3 gonna outsell cod4 ps3 and perhaps be the best selling ps3 game ever

the reason why mw2 sell better on 360 is the larger fanbase and the a lot of ps3\360 owners like me gonna get it on 360 cause shooters play better on 360 pad and xbl is better than psn

I hope all of you understand

[Tex117]

Parapraxis: Enjoy the ride with Demon's Souls. Either you will do one of three things.

Play it, and not put it down till you have beat it at least once leaving your other games still in the plastic. This will be one of your favorite games this generation but you don't really know why...it just is. You can't get enough of the beat down, then ultimately the beat down you bestowe on other players and the NPC with careful leveling.

Play it, and not get past 1-1. You get frustrated and your new Ratchet and Clank is looking at you. As a break you play it...beat it, then try and come back to Demon's Souls because you dont like to waste money on games. You still strongly dislike the game, and ultimately stop playing.

Play it, not get past 1-1. SCREAM MOTHER EFFER, and drop it off at gamestop for some quick cash. You loathe the game.

[pharmd]

hahahaha, cuz that's their only real game right now.... other than upcoming forza, they've been bored for some time, dying for a decent game...

lol

[Jinxstar]

Ape.

I know you prefer the XBL service but truth be told. Back when COD4 first released my roommate got it on 360 and I got it on PS3. HE preferred it on PS3. I couldn't see a difference but meh. I just want to know what makes it "So much better"? like seriously.

I'll give you the controller thing. Thats all preference. I don't care much either way... As long as it's all balanced and they both do that fine... Why or how is XBL faster or better? Cross game chat is an option. Is that what you mean? cross game invites or whatever? because online to me ran just as smooth on either console. My roommate said it felt like 360 hosts lagged their connection on purpose at times and that might have been his issue but I dunno...

Side by side I could see no difference in performance...

[slayorofgods]

I can't seem to find the direct source of this chart on Amazon. Is it an hourly trend or trend total updated hourly? I guess I'm stuck having to take this author's word for this information instead of being able to see the data directly:< (bad source of info)

On topic
The 360 always sell's more fps's than any other system since it is a shooter emphasized console. Sony emphasizes diversity in their games so not everyone that owns a PS3 even likes FPS's unlike the owners of a 360. This is also why we see the PS3 getting more sales in other multi platform games such as Batman, Teken 6, and almost all of EA's games.

[JokesOnYou]

Oh, too late. So is that going to be the excuse now?
So I guess then if you add up the recent ps3 exclusives sales should beat MW2 sales, lol not a chance.

Oh wait, its because 360 owners are the ones who like shooters. lol, and yet this is coming from the same kids who couldnt comment in any 360 thread prior to KZ2's launch withouT swearing KZ2 was 'teh bestes game everrrrzz!, lol and COD4 is one of the top selling games if not the top selling game on ps3. lmfao...so delusional.

lol, read ape007's comment and you will know why this and most other games sell better on 360, also yes the install base is part of it but look no further than KZ2 which had a higher install base than(wont bother mentioning Halo3) even when Gears came out and many of those games launched with other great games released in the same timeframe.

JOY

[Blaster_Master]

@ 1.5
Only people with modded controllers like the 360's controller more when it comes to shooters. Everyone knows that the triggers on the 360 controller aren't half as sensitive as the ps3's shoulder buttons. Also, ps3 users are getting cross game chat, and Im pretty sure true gamers would rather use a service that is free, especially since that is the only difference between xbox live and the psn. Have a good day troll.

[sikbeta]

A shooter game sell better on a shooter console, not surprising, I only want to know if the MW2 bundle is real, who gonna buy it? people who love only shooters already bought a xbox for shooters and MW2 is a super multiplat, is going to PC, PS3, xbox360 and wii, is not like if someone want the game need to buy a specific console

[droid and bot]

#0.1
funny ... now they want this game

after that you'll say that they want natal

LOL

[Mr Logic]

I personally can't stand the 360 controller. It's big, clunky, and the buttons are hard to press. But that's not the point.

The point is that the 360 DOES have a larger install base and that install base is partially derived from Halo fans. Halo fans typically love FPS and shooters in general. There's nothing wrong with that it's just the way it is. PS3 fans are no strangers to shooter games. Resistance, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, COD 4,5, and 6. But looking at each consoles top 10 sold games the 360 has 5 shooters and the PS3 only has 4 counting RE5. What I am trying to say is that IMO the PS3 has more quality variety. A lot of PS3 owners bought their console to play MGS4 or Uncharted 2 games that have no counterparts on the 360. I have noticed that PS3 fans buy games, but they are very picky about what they buy.

[snipermk0]

Its not because XBL is superior its because 360 fans have nothing else to play this christmas. While the ps3 owners have been running broke with U2, Ratchet & Clank, God of War Collection, Demon's souls and many other titles. So, I kinda feel sad for the 360 gamers and an "awwwwwwwww" is in place.

[Domenikos]

Have fun with ur nice extra cool... no one gives a f*** stuff...

Cause ill be playing Uncharted 2, and BTW

1-XBOX LIVE,a service like xbl makes the experience in mw2 better... come on u dont even play that good,you are talking like a pro that needs the best experience to play online.

2-the controller is perfect for fps,perfectly fit in your hand+the amazing triggers make you feel like you are shooting a real gun... yeah a real gun... duh

3-the ability to install games,this reduces the load times a lot,I installed cod4 and damn it loads like a thunder... OMG damn u PS3 u are taking seconds of my mighty time u suck.

4-360 version gonna have dlc before ps3 version... DLC, yeah and then u can go and clean Activision's ass.

Afff

[Bob Dole]

I dunno what kind of guns you been shooting but the 360's triggers are nowhere near the same feel of shooting a real gun. Granted they are good for fps games, Bob Dole likes the L1 and R1 buttons on the Dualshock better than the triggers.

[Hoggy1983]

First of all, I completely appreciate that the PS3 seems to have alot of good games coming out at the moment. However, what I have major umbrage with is those of you saying MW2 will be a poor game! This will be absolutely fantastic, multiplat or not, and why don't you just be honest and accept that alot of you will find this game in your collection. Yes, the PS3 has a few other good games out but I struggle to believe that many would surpass MW2.

I would also add that I understand that everyone has different gaming tastes; not everyone likes FPS and genuinely prefer other games to MW2. However, I don't buy the amount of comments slating the game. Anyway, your loss.

[lordcrackpot]

when they got Uncharted 2

i rented and beat every CoD game so far playable on the 360 or PS3, and i'm planning to continue my streak with MW2.

[tordavis]

@mr logic - "A lot of PS3 owners bought their console to play MGS4 or Uncharted 2 games that have no counterparts on the 360."

Aren't MGS4 and Uncharted shooters? Wait, isn't KZ2 a shooter? What about Resistance 1 and 2? I think the 360 library is just as diverse as the PS3's. A lot of PS3 owners don't even know of some of the great non-shooter games on the 360. Tenchu Z, Portal, Banjo, Kameo and Dead Rising are all non-shooter titles that are pretty much first gen 360 titles. All this crap about the 360 being a "shooter console" is just crap. That's like saying the PS3 is a 3D action console.

Are you guys forgetting where Saint's Row and Just Cause got started and where they are going? Wasn't RE5 a shooter? What about Haze? Quantum Theory? Uncharted 1, Borderlands, Mass Effect, Fallout and Warhawk all have 'shooting' in them. Most games these days have shooting, even R&C.

Just buy what you want and stop trying to analyze why people buy what they want.

[Christopher]

P.S. The Earth revolves around the Sun, water is wet, everyone dies, and it doesn't literally rain cats and dogs.

@tordavis: Kind of have to disagree with you there. While, yes, there is more on the 360, what has made it so popular isn't its diverse library but its shooters and multiplayer capabilities. Sure, multiplats sell better on the 360, but is that because of the multiplats or because people were already there for the quality shooters and quality online gaming to go with them? I know it's just my opinion, but if Microsoft hadn't had the FPS/TPS calling that it does, I don't think sales of the console or multiplats would have been as good in the long run. The fact that 4 out of the 5 top selling games on the platform are shooters should tell you something about what type of games the general Xbox gamer looks for, no?

[sirbigam]

To be expected they've got less options, live has got o be used for something, and they might as well not hack it if their gonna go online.

[nan0]

The 360 hasn't gotten any good exclusive games lately.

With Infamous coming out a little bit ago, Uncharted 2 just coming out, plus GOTY editions of Fallout(multiplat) and LBP GOTY, this isn't very surprising at all.

Not to mention it has to compete with Tekken 6 and Aassassins Creed 2. I know most people would prefer MW2 to them, but I don't. I'm getting AC2 and Tekken 6 for sure because I need something new for my PS3. I don't have any fighters yet and MW1 wasn't too great. Sorry.

[WenisWagon]

This is clearly enough evidence to show that the Xbox 360 not only has the leading edge on exclusive games, but multiplatform games are far superior as well. Seems like owners of the PS3 version will struggle to find full servers.

[snoopgg]

It kicks arse!!!!!

[mikeslemonade]

I don't care about game sales. I only care about system sales which is more important. For game sales as long as it sells around 1 million it's good enough because a sequel is coming and the developer is satisfied.

[Kornholic]

This isn't really a surprise since, lets be honest here, Xbox 360 owners havent had too many games to play this year.

After all what Bobby Kotick said and what the new EA, Activision, stands for, I will be boycotting the firm as a whole. Haloduty: Generic Perkfare 2 isn't really a sequel worth MY money.

[SWORDF1SH]

Yep.

American 360 owners are obsessed with guns...

...well maybe just a bit more than the American PS3 owners.

Main reason is install base. The install base almost mirrors the sales ratio of 2-1.

No surprise.

That ratio doesnt count for the whole world, it will be alot closer. but the 360 version will almost defently outsell the PS3 version

[11 360s and counting]

Xbox owners don't mind getting screwed over by companies. Micro$haft rapes them daily. I think more PC and PS3 owners take offense to activisions and IW's bullsh*t. They're not blind, idiotic consumers. Plus, what else are they going to play on the crapbox?

[gaffyh]

@tordavis - You make it clearer and clearer that you have bias against the PS3 in every comment you type. The PS3 does have a more diverse game catalog, and if you can't see that, then it's clear that you're a fanboy. Xbox IS mainly for shooters, PS3 always has had the potential for a wider range of games.

Games like Heavy Rain, LBP, Flower, Linger in Shadows, MGS4, and Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet & Clank (and yes I've played Banjo, Kameo and SMG, and none of them are as good as R&C) have no equivalent on ANY other console. MGS4 is not just a shooter, it's Tactical Stealth Espionage.

You seem to be getting more militant in your fanboyism these days torrence, PS3 getting too many great games or something? Lol. I bet you're going to "smash" this article and comments as well. LMAO.

[yojoe26]

I have many xbox 360 owning friends who are flat bored of their systems right now as they feel they haven't had much to play since Gears of War 2 came out. Few of them were willing to spend 60 bucks for a new Halo that wasn't even a full game. With the onslaught of PS3 games I, for one, could actually go all the way into next spring without purchasing a new game and be completely content. Having bought Demon Souls, Uncharted 2, Infamous, Killzone 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, and planning on Dragon Age Origins this year (just to name a few) I have more than enough AAA games to play. 360 fans don't have as much right now so are ravishingly hungry for a AAA title. There are some great games for 360 out this year don't get me wrong; but there just isn't the same level of variety and quality that the PS3 has been pumping out thus far.

[zeeshan]

I would have been seriously surprised, concerned and astounded had the figure been the opposite of what it is right now. The current figure not only suggest but are a clear indication that PS3 owners are spending their money on exclusive titles. I mean just imagine, if Uncharted 3, Demon's Soul, R%C, GOW collection weren't there, PS3 owners probably would have been going crazy getting their hands on MW1.5 (Sorry but I just don't see MW2 as 2, it's more like 1.5 to me).

I also don't see PS3 owners going crazy for MW1.5 because they have KillZone 2. Regardless if you are a fan, regardless if you own a PS3 or not, if you have seen KILLZONE 2 and have played it a couple of times, I can bet that you'd have high expectations from future shooters like Moder Warfare but as it turned out, MW is just-another generic FPS with meh graphics. Damn it, the visuals should have been stunning!

[quadalupeupe]

without a demo or anything they'll jump in like they usually do with Pay to Play online or a new Halo game or buy a new Xbox 360 when theres breaks down

[f789790]

I don't even have the money for one game. If I did it certainly wouldn't be going to MW2. I'll buy it eventually, but not before Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted 2.

[Redempteur]

*/Facepalm....

See laracroft ? She has 2 guns and she uses them ... does that make tomb raider a shooter ? NO.

You see Ratchet in NOT a shooter , it's an adventure game ...
Even if one the character of heavy rain is a FBI agent with a gun and he uses it in the game ... it's still a story adventure game ... not a shooter ...

I strongly suggest you to look up on the internet what Shooter really is ...

[N4g_null]

So many PS3 owners claim they are playing other games then why are the sales for the games you list so low?

[2cents]

one of the greatest 1st person shooter franchises to grace our consoles that has even won a BAFTA and that gamers have spent countless hours on and now that a statistic has been revealed in favor of the 360 and suddenly ps3 fans are too good for call of duty?

lame

[Tavaras]

MW2 will be the best selling title this year... a lot of people LOVE this franchise... they have been turning out quality shooters for a long time now. I don't understand the backlash of the game here. But,in the end, it doesn't matter about the N4G hate, this will probably be the biggest release this year, and as a gamer who loves games, I can't help but be excited about a game that so many people want to play.

[bpac123456789]

Why did so many people disagree with ape007? he made very good and logical points on why to get it for the 360. While the controller part Is debatable the rest of his points where unquestionable. Mw2 is going to be a better experience on the 360, in every way. Better online (party system) and not to mention they will be getting dlc first while the rest of us ps3 only owners will have to wait a long time and move on to different games. To be honest if I had a 360 (which I will soon) i would get mw2 for that system over the ps3. I'll probably buy most my major online games for the 360.

N4g needs to chill and stop being so sensitive.

[Rainstorm81]

MW2 will be the number one selling game this year. But that doesnt mean every gamer with a console should go out and buy it. To alot of people MW2 is MW1 with new guns new maps and streaks galore yet same MW1 engine (seems paltry for a game 2yrs in development).Not to mention Bobby Kotick and his antics against the PS3 and COD price hikes, which leads some people to not support activision and COD. Others flat out dont care about FPS games. The rest will buy COD: MW2

@BPAC - Dont pass Ape007's comments off as facts. The only fact he stated was about DLC. Party system you do know MW1 on PS3 had a party system? right? PSN or XBL, PS3 or X360 you will be getting mainly the same experience. besides two early map packs everything will be the same, as someone who plays on XBL and PSN, i can say they both experience lag, some games still have glitches and people still try to cheat, one big difference though cross game voice chat and $50 a year.

MW2 will be good but this isnt 2007 when COD:MW had little competition. Uncharted: Drakes fortune was a new ip and Halo 3 was its only competition. (and it still beat the almighty Halo to become the number one game on XBL til W@W)

In 2009 the competition is much more fierce for MW2. especially on PS3

[BattleAxe]

I've never understood why people pre-order games, its so stupid. Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Future Shop and HMV always have lots of copies on the release date.

When BattleField Bad Compay first came out I happened to be at EB Games, asked for a copy and they asked if I had pre-ordered it, I said no and they said that the only copies they had were for pre-orders. So I dcided to go next door to Wal- Mart where they had tons of copies and bought it there. People who pre-order need to get a life.

[mrv321]

This can only mean one thing.

PS3 gamers don't want to pay for some overpriced games when the have a slew of new AAA games to play.

MW2 is just becoming rediculous, if you buy this you hate gaming. COD 6 as it should be known is a full game I'm not saying it's just an expansion (COD:WAW is though) but I don't believe it's the second coming of christ(insert other religous figures here)

[poopface1]

360 also has some games like halo and forza. not to mention ODST has sold around 1.5 million already in America, so alot of 360 owners just bought a FPS.

Your argument seems decent at first untill you consider the fact taht MODERN WARFARE 2 WILL BE THE BIGGEST SELLER ON PS3 AS WELL.

you can say "Ps3 owners dont need taht generic game or another FPS" or "We have far too much variety and other games" and yet none of their sales will be close to MW 2(no different than the 360).

I wont be buying MW 2 for my 360, ps3, or PC but we all know, regardless if we wanna admit it or not, that MW 2 will be the biggest selling game on all 3 platforms regardless of what other games come out.

[Knghtz]

lmao, wow.

That's quite a bold statement there. I guess I better not get it then for fear of being labeled a "game hater". Good lord the things people say these days...

[mrv321]

So your saying out of the 13 million copies of modern warfare sold 4.5 million+ have been on the PS3. I seriously doubt that. I have checked a vague list which is mostly out of date that says that MGS 4 has sold 4.5 million

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[ape007]

"PS3 gamers don't want to pay for some overpriced games when the have a slew of new AAA games to play"

don't use this excuse to for why 360 version selling more

LOOOL,we will see mw2 sales on ps3,It will easely beat cod4 which was the best selling ps3 games,YOU'LL SEE,it will be the best selling ps3 game ever

it will outsell kz2 easely and YOU KNOW IT

"MW2 is just becoming rediculous, if you buy this you hate gaming"

LOL again,looks like you are still angry after activision's statement about dropping ps3 support,it really hurt you emotionally

to solve this,Imagine that IW was owned by sony and mw2 will be a ps3 exclusive,you'll say a whole different comment

fanboys make me laugh

[ReviewsArePolitics]

"don't use this excuse to for why 360 version selling more"

So it's not true that PS3 owners have more games to choose from now?

"LOOOL,we will see mw2 sales on ps3,It will easely beat cod4 which was the best selling ps3 games,YOU'LL SEE,it will be the best selling ps3 game ever"

Did it sell better than MGS4 and GT5:Prologue? I'm just asking. Also, if you're gonna answer, get updated facts.

"it will outsell kz2 easely and YOU KNOW IT "

It won't reach the technical advancement of KZ2, that's for sure. Sales don't make the quality of the games.

"LOL again,looks like you are still angry after activision's statement about dropping ps3 support,it really hurt you emotionally"

Why would anyone support a company that bullies other companies and consumers? Especially over another gamer like you. Seriously, get your priorities straight. Why would you wait for another generic shooter is mind-boggling.

Back to UC2

[mrv321]

Fanboys make you laugh... you seem pretty fanboy to me. The fact of the matter is quite simple is that the PS3 owners have more varied exclusive this holiday season, while the 360 has good games most of who'm aren't exclusive and not big hitters while I agreee some games do look outstanding thus far from what I have played Uncharted 2 is thus far my game of the year.

'LOL again,looks like you are still angry after activision's statement about dropping ps3 support,it really hurt you emotionally'

I am hurt emotionally, I really am. Angry, I would be if I didn't rely on it. I played the Uncharted multiplayer and I am so far impressed with it.

Remind me again, which console is getting the demo? None, most of us are getting quite fobbed, I for one aren't that use to dedicated servers, and not something that's completely and utterly overpriced and hyped.

[Bob Dole]

"LOOOL,we will see mw2 sales on ps3,It will easely beat cod4 which was the best selling ps3 games,YOU'LL SEE,it will be the best selling ps3 game ever"

Gran Turismo 5 WILL bet he best selling PS3 game evah.

[tordavis]

@reviewsarepolitics - "It won't reach the technical advancement of KZ2, that's for sure. Sales don't make the quality of the games. "

We aren't talking technical advancements, we are talking sales.

"Back to UC2"

Bold statement there.

[badz149]

1. PS3 gamers just have more choice - 4 high impact EXCLUSIVES in a month?? when did that EVER happen to any other console in history??

2. there are a lot more 360 owners in the US which make sense why they will buy more copies

3. this is the BIGGEST games on 360 this year but PS3 has more than just a multiplat hit!

and CoD4 is not the most sold game on PS3, it's GTAIV

[sack_boi]

What's so "techincally advanced" about Killzone 2? Is it the 30fps, the fact that the game doesn't support split-screen or is it the P2P server it uses?

Oh yeah, it had "gud graphix"

[N2NOther]

Dumbest, most baseless, most ignorant and ridiculous thing I've ever read on N4G. Congrats. The prize you win is mouth breathing.

[N4g_null]

So from your statment you can say PS3 owners are cheap or just don't have a lot of money to spend period?

I mean look at the sales of these games you guys are listing they are not all that good. So far xbox is looking like it has more hardcore FPS fans which would make sense because they all got one for halo.

I don't even like the xbox and even I understand that. I mean rubbing games in xbox owners face would actualy make sense if you where talking about games they actualy want to play rather than games that where promised a long time ago and are just now coming out.

[ape007]

I strongly agree,that's perhaps the worst thing I've ever read in my whole gaming life,SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUK IS THIS

it may enter genuis book for the worst gamer zone statement EVER on N4G

[Pandamobile]

That's what I like to see PC guys. Let's see if we can get that down to like 2% by the time MW2 ships and maybe IW will listen.

[M337ING]

Even still, with all the cancellations, I'm shocked that there are still so many pc copies on pre-order. They might have even been at 20%, which at a retail store, is pretty amazing for a pc game...

[DasBunker]

of course.. xbox owners love shooters.. is the only thing they play.. and with the lack of exclusives they got this year they gotta turn into the multiplats..

demons souls
ratchet and clank
uncharted 2
GOW collection

shhhh not easy to afford all these great games and on top of that MW2

not to mention ps3 owners are smart enough to not take activision BS..

@Below

forgot to add all other multiplats. like borderlands or NGS2 that just came out for the PS3 too.. if that makes my comment less fanboyist :P

[RememberThe357]

But that is the exact reason why I probably wont buy MF2; too many other games.

[TruthBTold]

I spent money recently on Uncharted 2, Demons Souls and FIFA 10, if I decide to get another game first it will be Borderlands or Assasins Creed 2. Maybe next year after GT5, GOW 3 and Heavy Rain I might pick up MW2 from Gamestop but USED. Glad to see the PC gamers boycotting Activision. I would like to see more PS3 and Xbox gamers do the same.

[badz149]

not only MW2, but I'm not buying all their craps EVER again! luckily most of their games are not geared to my interest! but if EA is going the way of activision is heading now, I might just have to scratch my head open to not buy games like FIFA, burnout, BF...

[mastiffchild]

Same as that. I won't be buying anything, at least not unless it's usedfrom Activision(and IW their little money grabbing monkey henchmen who seem to think dedicateds are a bad thing-why?-and only seem to have made COD4.5 after knocking Teryarch for doing the same thing. IW are boning us on the PC andhelp Acti do it eveywhere else)fromnow on-why shoyuld I be expected to support a company with such open disdain for it's customers and that milk a franchise so heavily it's become a joke. It's getting like bloody Fifa-there's one a year and, really, it's always the same bloody game with minor tweaks or different settings. Big wow and as a UK gamer I'm expected to pay a premium on top f what the US pays(on top of our games being dearer to start with!)-and all this in a country, as of today, [proven to STILL be in maor recession?

A few of my mates who still pay for Live, despite being PS3 owners and PC gamers, are going to get MW2 and on the 360. They reasoned(rightly it appears) that there would be more people getting it on 360 and it would be the busiest platform and therefore more of a challenge. They argued that with only ODST recently buying MW2 was the only real new release(as ODST is just Halo3 plus Firefight and everyone already had H3)with online MP of great merit would be MW2. It's always popular on 360(moreso than PS3)and with it's position of being a big online game on a [platform where you have to have newe games to play to justify your outlay for Live then you're more likely to buy it than folk who game elsewhere-esp on PC and PSN where dedicated servers are the norm. P2P(unbelievably for the premium online service of Live, imo)is still the norm for Live so it's the same as anything for 360 gamers.

Add to that most 360 owners are US gamers and there's no price hike there to rail against and m,any of these gamers are used to the P2P, haven't had a shooter experience this year that was both big and good online(again not counting ODST as the online is vasically an old set of maps)-whereas some PS3 gamers will also have stuck with KZ2 online this year and feel in a better position to give Acti the finger. PS3 gamers certainly don't need MW2 as much(at least not right now anyway with lots of games and a more diverse gamer demographic than 360)as people whopay for Live and, because of that, may feel the need to buy a new COD to make it worthwhile-without a new online game why would they pay for Live? No if you pay I can see why you'd be more eager to get new online games, no?

Allied to that the sales of the 360 were always buoyed by shooter fans(mostly Halo which cannot be underestimated-and COD is still their second favourite franchise IIRC)so why wouldn't it sell better on 360? I expected it to and there's loads of reasons why it would do. Sadly I don't think any of us should really be giving a crap bag company like Acti our hard earned cash but, hey, it's a free world and all that.

Still, BFBC2 looks like being a great game and by then I'll be a lot more prepared for another shooter(which over the last three or four years have become far too numerous)and not have to feel like sucking off the devil in order to play it.

[BulletToothtony]

and i by no means trying to sound like a fanboy, but there is no other game that the 360 has for fall (shooters genre) so i can see that most of them were waiting on this game.

I was gonna buy it but after seeing how bad activision and IW are getting and having got a great multiplayer with Uncharted 2 i'm gonna wait a month or so and get a used copy..

[MetalGearRising]

Obviously only way your gonna get the full Experience the way this game was meant to be played is on Xbox360. Not only that but you'll find the Elite the Top Dogs like me who are the Best of the Best when it comes to shooters so if you think u have got it face me and millions on xbox live.

[PlayStation X]

1st decent shooter 360 had all year, obviously it'll sell better

ps3 fans have too many games to choose from.

[SnuggleBandit]

Yep pretty damn true

[droid and bot]

so now Hardcore games are just run and gun ???
with no brains at all ???

what about demon souls ??
its as hardcore as it can get and guess what
its selling out every where

[CrazzyMan]

“The biggest thing you struggle with is space”.
http://www.nowgamer.com/new...

Yeah, that`s why devs complain about lack of space on DVD...
To get full Experience, the game must be exclusive to PS3 or atleast on PS3/PC.
Then, you will get full experience. So far, it`s downgraded to DVD level space limits.

[snipermk0]

Face you and the millions? How about you get in the PC gaming arena and then we'll see you get your @$$ handed while you go running to mommy..

[electricshadow]

Without even clicking on the Open Zone, I knew you were going to be the first to comment. Do you have nothing better to do than to wait for an anti-PS3 story?

[mario888]

PS3 & 360 multiplayer online is a twitch shooting game with so much auto aim assist anyone can play it. You just need to pull your gun up and the auto aim take over.

[Skynetone]

if it was a ps3 exclusive, it would blow peoples minds

[Stinger_209]

no actually bot this is the only good game u have so far unlike us Killzone 2, infamous, unchated 2, god of war collection which is out soon as well as Ratchet & Clank
so xbox: 1
ps3: 5

[ChrisW]

I don't give a goose's crap if 360 is selling more! I don't care if pansy-arsed noobs are still struggling through UC2! It's a LAME excuse to say that we're still enjoying our exclusives, when in reality MW2 will be the best on PS3! There is NO excuse for us to NOT go out and buy it!

Now to get sentimental... If we had the ability to show those lame Xbots our ability and superior skills through cross-console playing we would whoop them a new hole for them to bury their dead in. We would show them how superior our we are, while they complain with unfounded excuses like their '.5 second lag screwed up their aiming' and so on.

Sony Socialists, we must not let such B.S. force us to make lame and feeble excuses as to why we won't support our system! Multiplatform or not!

"Take arms and pummel the enemy," that has always been our motto and we will prove so!

Hail Fuhrer Kaz Hirai and the Sony Socialist Republic!

[infekt]

Problem is that the Playstation 3 HdAS triple A games this year.. xb360 has nothing; No games worth playing. And when one comes along all bots jump to it. Sorry bots, Im still going to play Uncharter 2 with a slew of my comrades. Sucks not to have diversity and quality, eh? Bummer.

[Stryfeno2]

Everyone already knew this.

[Anorexorcist]

Oh of course everyone knows. Your mother even recognizes, that's why she puts you down in the basement so her boyrfriends won't see you.

[matta]

He's right. The region where the 360 reigns supreme is where they play shooters.

[lee82988]

I have to play uncharted 2, and dragon origin. no time for mw2. 360 fans dont have crap to look for until next year. ps3 has too many AAA titles. But it will kepp up with the 360 sale of MW2.

[MetalGearBear]

xbots is bragging!!!!!

[LEGENDARY PELON]

Its amazing the amount of ps3 fanboiis dat der is in N4G!

on almost any article posted up, they are constantly running their mouth about the 360 this and about the 360 that. Their all bad things!

Like in this article, ps3 fanboiis are just buthurt because the biggest and the best multi-platform shooter is selling more on the 360!!

you guys are also buthurt because you ps3 fanboiis didnt get no MW2
two bundle, just like the 360 did.

but its ok, keep on running your mouth you silly ps3 fanboiis, its just making the Xbox more famous and better!

[CernaML]

Sorry what? I couldn't hear you over your GED that you received at the age of 30.

[PimpHandHappy]

you will also find foul mouth kids without a life on XBL... perfect example is YOU
no thanks

considering i never had a problem on PS3 finding a game i could care less how many its sells because i know enough will be sold that me and my adult friends can own fools

[hatchimatchi]

seriously. i love the fact that i've never been cursed out or had to deal with immature kids on the psn. That's the absolute truth too. In fact, the other day i was playing resistance 2 and some kid was screaming in the background in someones game and i said, "whats up with that kid?" turns out it was some 4 year old kid playing 2 player online with his dad. Everyone started talking to the kid and giving him advice. It was pretty funny and cool cause obviously the kid wasn't very good but everyone was making a point to watch his back. Good times.

Back on topic though, Modern Warfare is easily one of the most overrated games this gen. I didn't buy the first and i won't be buying the second. It's a freaking joke. Activision pumped out like 50 ww2 games and then they make one that takes place in modern times and they get hailed as geniuses. uhhhh?? The gameplay is all twitch. I will say that the helicopter perks and whatnot you get for a killing streak are cool but i really didn't enjoy the gameplay at all.

to each his own

[TukkerIntensity]

no interest in another COD game. Not a fan of the COD series anyway. MAG is much more interesting to me. The beta has been a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to the release.

[blackpanther25]

MAG looks so much better now

[dkgshiz]

Rent it. Play it online for a while. Then return it.

[koehler83]

I'll be getting Assassin's Creed

[mistajeff]

I woke up this morning and suddenly realized that I am absolutely AMPED for AC2. It kind of snuck up on me out of nowhere, but seeing the summary of the OXM review and hearing that pretty much every complaint they had with the first game has been fixed made my excitement shoot through the roof. I can't wait, it looks amazing.

[Bobby Kotex]

Me too. After getting AC1 on Steam for $5, I really got into Assassin's Creed. I wasn't really planning on buying it, but I'll probably pick it up now.

[TheHater]

I will stick with Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, Ratchet and Clank, Borderlands, and God of War Collection. MW2 has not shown me anything to spark any interest in it. I will stick with COD4 if I want a WF experience.

[Somnipotent]

i agree with your choice. not my choice, personally i'm gettin' MW2, but yeah, we're gonna be drowning in games.

[Lord_Ranos]

BOTS ONLY LIKE MULTIPLATFORM TRASH CAUSE THEIR EXCLUSIVES ARE BULLSH1T!!!!

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAAHAHAHH AAHAHAHHA

[Lord_Ranos]

While we PS3 owners have our AAAA exclusives and great multiplatforms.

BOTS JUMP OUT.

[chrisulloa]

LOL calling MW trash. What an idiot. We've got 3 more AAA exclusives than you guys.

[Lord_Ranos]

Hey guys heres an example of a desperate BOT defending a multiplatform that we PS3 owners cant geet too. Dude dont be an idiot your only defending it cause you use your gay excuse that XBOT LIVE is better to play this game. And plz name all those CCCC games that GAYBOX has.

Edit: No replies from ChrisBOT. LMAO

[THE DUKE]

Somebody sounds a tad upset! imo xbox live IS the best online experience for this game for now that is as soon as sony pull their finger out and bring cross game chat and the many many other features xbl has over PSN.

[chrisulloa]

Oh sorry, I was playing Borderlands. Sorry, I don't troll 24/7 like you. I've got a life. If you read the original comment you'd see what I was defending you moron.

[CernaML]

You're seriously going to be that much of a hypocrite? Your comment history says it all.

[cyborg6971]

Of the many many features live has over psn i'd like to see you name two. Cause you know what you can't.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Possibly the most anticipated shooter this year and the opposition are throwing their excuses, wow. Anyway great news for me since I'll have plenty of competition online. This game is going to RAPE!

[Carl1412]

I think i should feel sorry for you for anticipating a game which is basically the same as COD4.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

The same??? Just no. You don't even deserve a better response. You just get a NO.

[Carl1412]

It's not different enough to warrant another game, put it that way

[TheBand1t]

Oh right, it has exciting knife throwing. It's so very different.

:/

[DJ Pillz 317]

What makes Uncharted 2 more of a sequel than MW2?!
I guess you're an idiot too if you bought U2, seeing it's the same as U1, just with multiplayer.
God, N4G has the worst fanboys of all.

[Knghtz]

Why does everyone bash games for not straying to far from their original formulas? If it isn't broke, why fix it? No need to reinvent the wheel, just add more features, which personally I think MW2 is chock full of; I am particularly excited about spec ops and accolades. These aren't innovative but they build on an already successful franchise, I don't see why this is a bad thing.

[whothedog]

what does a fanboy have to do with anything? MW2 is multiplatform say it with me.

If someone isn't interested, they just are not interested.

[Carl1412]

Hey, a fanboy i am not. I am perfectly aware Uncharted 2 does absolutely nothing new in the genre, which is one of the things i dislike about the game (in general i prefer the first game overall, but still). Uncharted 2 carries on the story of Drake and it added to the story.

MW2 seems like a sequel for the sake of a sequel. And it looks more boring than the first (which i couldn't stand)

[ReviewsArePolitics]

Most anticipated? CHECK

Most overrated multiplatform FPS franchise? CHECK

Another generic shooter? CHECK

Oh, and "opposition"? What opposition? I find it funny that Xbox fanboys think this is a Xbox exclusive. Microsoft should really be proud that they get their most fervent fans to think of multiplats as perceived exclusives. lmao

[ape007]

the game is gonna be amazing no doubt

and @ DJ Pillz 317

n4g became a total trashhhhhh

these days I rarely go to the comments section,it's absolutely redeculous,sigh

have a bubble

[Somnipotent]

they're prolly not buying MW2 because the PS3 owners have already shelled out money for U2 and DS... I personally am going into debt with all these games... U2, DS, R+C, Tekken 6, MW2... need more overtime!!!

[Counter_ACT]

Surprise surprise? D:

[whothedog]

It might just be me, but I wouldn't want to pay $60 for something that could of easily been DLC. SAME ENGINE!

Its the same game with the map packs they didn't release for COD4 :)

EDIT@below

aw :(

[Captain Tuttle]

It's just you.

[Somnipotent]

yeah, it's just you... you could have said the same thing about Gears of War 2... same engine, but no way in hell it could have been done in DLC.

[Knghtz]

Wow this "same engine" stuff has gotten out of hand. All games do it with their sequels, why is Modern Warfare 2 different all of a sudden?

[ape007]

because they are still butthurt after activison's statement to stop ps3 support and plus you know how arrogant ps3 fanboys are,mix both you get this result,simple as that

I can't wait for mw2

[whothedog]

@ape

Aw, are you calling me a fanboY!?

haha It is cool I don't mind, I just have a hard time playing games that are rehashed over and over again with no upgrade. Sports games, Halos, Metroid Primes, COD's, Final Fantasy's, Veiwtiful Joe's, Zelda Majors Mask I never played. For most of those games I think the first game in the series is awesome. I love the Zelda series :) I do make exceptions, but that depends on the style or type of game(I like eerie games.) Looking forward to the new Metroid coming out too.

Anyways, if I am not mistaken, Activison is still screwing over the people in Europe with the high price for the game, and just recently they took out modding and dedicated servers for PC and than decided to charge more for that very game which is pretty funny to me.

I can't help but look at a Burnout Paradise or GTA4 and see that they can extend their story of the same game they already put out, without charging $60.

Why does someone always bust out the fanboy comments when they don't agree with someone. People do have different opinions without being fanboys you know.

[unknownhero1123]

personally, I really don't care if activision pulls out of the ps3 but that statement bobby kotick made was pure B.S. because knowing his greedy ass he will want his games on as many consoles as possible. case in point, that CoD4 port on the wii. telling sony to lower the price of the PS3 while raising the price of the PC version(while striping it down to a mere console type game) is like calling the kettle black. true, I'll still buy it but when it's in the used bin. for now, i'll play some tekken 6 and UC2(when my dad gets it for his birthday-such a long wait)and finish my paragon playthrough of mass effect.

[Inferno]

We're busy playing Uncharted 2 ( GOTY ), Demon's Souls and soon enough R&C: ACiT
Edit: oh, I forgot NGS 2

[xcox]

i'm so busy playing uncharted 2 coop...
i guess life is different when you have something to play?

xb!tches can't understand xD

[Its_The_Truth]

Look at the List
XBOX 360
1- HALO ODTS
2- FORZA 3

PS3
1- Uncharted 2
2- Demon Soul's
3- Ratchet and Clank
4- Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Plus countless PsP titles and PS2 titles so we don't have time to play a mediocre shooter. And if we do decide to buy MW2 it'll be a used copy because we aint contributing to Activision/InfinityWard's BS on how they treat their fans

Oh Borderlands is awsome ClapTrap FTW!!!!!!!!!

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Hold on there, mate.

Infinity Ward has NEVER made a game that was less-than-spectacular!

They redefined FPS's with Call of Duty. They did it again with Call of Duty 2. Then, they did it a THIRD FREAKIN' TIME with COD4!

Do you really expect MW2 to be generic?

Honestly?

[Knghtz]

When a game becomes big, it's apparently cool to hate it and the developers :/

[bigrudowsky]

if you only game on ps3 why do you care what happens to the pc community youre still getting the same features youve always had. You just dont make sense dude.

[Godmars290]

What you say about IW might - is - true, but that doesn't change the fact that there's more of a variety of titles on the PS3. That the 360 is nicknamed the FPS console. This while MS was trying to move away from it while hyping Halo in all of its - one - forms.

[tordavis]

If you don't want to support Activision/IW, then you wouldn't buy it used either.

[unknownhero1123]

not really, as activision doesn't get any money from it used.

[Cmoney]

Despite being the most pirated console this generation, the XBOX 360 continues to destroy the ps3 in software sales.

What the heck are you ps3 owners doing??

Buy some damn software ....this is getting embarrassing for sony.

PS2 domination seems like 20 years ago..

[Somnipotent]

we're playing Demon Souls and Uncharted 2, that's what we're doing.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

You know the PS3's attach rate is higher than the 360's now, right?

We're buying the games.

I guess this is really the only battle you guys have left in you though, isn't it?

I hate taking sides here, but you need to get over it, man. The war's over.

You don't want to be that old Southern Civil War vet sittin' in his rocker complainin' about "them negros". You need to get with the times.

[Tex117]

Thats exactly what we are doing.

[CadDad]

....well Uncharted 2 is sitting (not for long), and Demon's souls is spinning. (85 hours in already) :o

-CadDad

[Redempteur]

Soorry it's my fault .. between fat princess ( still playing ) ninja gaiden sigma 2 , uncharted 2 , demons souls , the MAG beta , and the LBP GOTY ..i had little time ...

WHAT ?? Why should i buy modern warfare 2 when i have uncharted 2 ? i really don't know ...

[FwanK]

Welcome to the Boycott!

[champ21]

not surprised..

ps3 players have some good exclusives to play..

bots on the other hand only get gaylo.. thats the only reasonable explanation

[chrisulloa]

Yeah Halo, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Left 4 Dead, Forza 3, and Halo 3. We've obviously got no games.

[MetalGearBear]

Gear of war, Mass effect, Left 4 dead is on PC.

[champ21]

gears of war 1 on pc looks better then gears 2 on xbox lol..

left 4 dead and mass effect better on pc as well.

so again you are just left with gaylo lol.

omg.. it must be sooo exciting waiting ont he next gaylo game.

i aint a ps3 user.. heck i am a pc user.. i dont even like the ps3..

but i aint blind... and i call it like it is.

ps3 really does have some very good exclusives.

[LtSkittles]

Chris if you've got games then what the hell are you doing on N4G?

[ReviewsArePolitics]

You again? I thought I told you to STFU unless you wanted CONSEQUENCES ;) hahahahhahaha

Anyway, all the games you mention are on PC and/or PS3. The top 20 metacritic games for 360 are available on PC and/or PS3; basically, 360 is not needed unless you are so poor that you can't get anything else (or so deluded that you hate Sony so much; don't worry,they didn't do anything to your ancestors, whatever you believe is a myth). Hell, I am really sorry that you can't afford anything better than your arcade 360. I guess that's my fault, but hey, wait till the economy gets better, my stock will definitely rise. With the leftovers I'll buy you a decent PC rig and a PS3 for you to know what's true gaming.

"Chris if you've got games then what the hell are you doing on N4G? "

He can't even afford an arcade 360 lol. Oops, I shouldn't be laughing, it may be my fault. Hey, blame the economy! XD

[LtSkittles]

@ReviewsArePolitics

"He can't even afford an arcade 360 lol. Oops, I shouldn't be laughing, it may be my fault. Hey, blame the economy! XD"

I lol'd

[Kratos19]

Not a surprise, the same thing will happen with AC 2. Games like Tekken 6, FIFA 2010 and Bayonetta will sell better on PS3 though.

[unrealgamer58]

lol no ps3 owner cares lmao

[Knghtz]

Apparently some care though, what with the reserves. You did have a good generalization there, though.

@below:

It's "couldn't care less"! Lol sorry that's a pet peeve of mine :(

[Somnipotent]

nope... as an owner of both, i could care less which platform is sells better on as long as i get to play it on my console of choice 11/10 :)

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

They have Uncharted 2 and Ratchet & Clank to worry about.

I mean...honestly...MW2 will be an amazing game. It just has a long way to go to beat Uncharted 2.

360 owners LOVE Call of Duty!!! I mean, I do too...but they REALLY love Call of Duty. It goes back to the 360 launch. COD2 was possibly one of the greatest FPS's of all-time and it really brought the franchise to the mass media. It was great! They did it again with COD4. Infinity Ward redefines the genre every time they make a COD...and I'm hoping this is no exception. : )

I'll be getting this day one. Most PS3 owners, however, are going to hold off...because they have so many games to play already.

[Gago]

360's main fanbase are FPS whores! They know nothing beyond Halo, CoD, L4D! Of course there are some who sprinkle in the occasional non FPS!

[Knghtz]

Darn, and here all this time I thought I was looking forward to games like Assassin's Creed and Forza.

[yorkie]

That this only at Amazon and they dont actually give out any numbers. Double of a little dont amount to a lot now does it.

[PimpHandHappy]

if PS3 owners wanted to go back a year we also have

MLB The Show
MGS4
Heavenly Sword
Warhawk
Infamous
Killzone
Wipeout
High Velocity Bowling
Gt5p

try naming your exclusives this year ok!!! You have Halo and Forza and NOT A ONE NEW IP over 2 years

and yes
Mass Effect is also on PC

thats because the 360 is the poor mans PC gaming rig!!!! Thats the truth FOOL

[Tr10wn]

From every ps3 exclusive you mention the only one that has moved the console was MGS4, Uncharted 2 is awesome too but not better than msg4,KZ2 is just graphics i just don't feel that game, GT5P was a demo and it was very bad too because of that demo i just don't feel the GT series anymore is like GT4 with better graphics nothing new even the physics feel poor and thats why they had been delaying the game for 5 years.

"Mass Effect is also on PC "
and yes MS is taking money from there too lol

oh and about High Velocity Bowling are you f***ing serious?

[thematrix1298]

360 has no game coming therefore everyone there are buying the game...simple as that

[djfullshred]

Sorry, too busy playing Uncharted 2 to care.

[BlackTar187]

but isn't that just stupid you came to this article you took time to post a comment. I guarantee you read some comments your not fooling anyone.

I will get this game on both systems 2 clans 2 sets for friends but i will wait till i finish Demon Soul got the plat for UC2 and i will beat R&C and GOW before then buy this used im a gamer of all things and i don't respect Activsion so i will show with my wallet but i will still own and am looking forward to this game must beat the others first so i can wait for used copies and i know ill spend 100's hrs on the MP .

[tordavis]

But not too busy to post.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Lols.

Bubbles for you, tordavis.

[slipkoRn]

Both versions are going to sell millions anyways.

[solidosito]

i just bougth demon souls, ninja gaiden sigma 2, uncharted 2 and ratched im broken, MW2 can be wait

[bigrudowsky]

no you didnt... stop lying.

[BrianC6234]

Most PS3 owners are probably just buying from Gamestop. I don't buy many games on Amazon. They aren't the only ones who sell games.

[MajestieBeast]

Not buying dont support a company that thinks there auto aiming casual friendly mw1.5 should be 60 on PC when they actually took things away from that version + the games i still have to finish and but is enough to last me till gow3 or any other great ps3 exclusive.

Ratchet & clank (buying)
Brutal legend (finished)
Demon Souls (Not finished)
Uncharted 2 (Need to get platinum trophy + multiplayer)
Borderlands (buying pc)
Dragon Age Origins (buying pc)
Aion (get lvl 50)

So yeah i can go without auto aim 1.5

[Memo-Xen x3100]

I doubt any of the PS3 only users would have lost any sleep over it. The xbox platform is based around multiplayer gaming, the xbox system itself is a trojan horse for the live service, where Microsoft makes most of its income in console gaming. Of course a multiplatform mainly multiplayer based game will do better on the 360 considering these circumstances aswell as others that whoever reads this will be aware of. The PS3 only users have a lot more choice when it comes to what game to buy right now in the newly released game market too.

[ceedubya9]

Modern Warfare 2 will probably still be the best selling game on the PS3 this year, despite all of the choices.

[paladin_veltron]

Why would we buy MW2 when we have Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank ACIT, God of war collection(cant wait!),God of War 3, Assassins creed 2, and GT5. Im tired of call of duty seriously. MW2 will have to wait till probably next fall because ps3 just has way to many AAA games coming out this year and next year. HEAVY RAIN WILL BE AWESOME. Of course XBOX version has sold more thats all they have this holiday season. HALO ODST? ha how about a real spartan that goes by the name of KRATOS. Sorry xbots its time to join the rest of us.

[whitesoxfalife]

too many haters.....dam yall sound like big ass kids in here it didnt ask if u going to play it or buying the game...... it just states how well preorders are doing in those places thas all......... i dont know why yall actin like yall aint gonna play the dam game when it comes everybody will whether it be ps3 or 360 dam can we have one good comment without bashing the next comment and to all u ps3 snobs what yall think u are better than the rest of the world or soment dam i never saw so much negativity from gamers if u not gonna buy the game ok cool but dont trash it u scare other people from buying cuz ya stupid comments

[MajestieBeast]

Why dont you just bend over for activision already.

[Memo-Xen x3100]

Tell me about how excited for MW2 you are after.

[ceedubya9]

Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2. I'm still looking forward to Modern Warfare 2.

[Ninjamonkey82]

Considering Kotak has been shafting ps3 gamers the same way he has with the pc gamers over the dedis with the exclusive timed content I'm not surprised. Tbh i think everyone should be setting an example here to Activison. Are this will soon become the norm for years to come. CoD MW2 has lost its credibility and that will be shown when every major lan rejects it from there tables. This game isn't worth a sh*t on a railway track.

[billbox2010]

loll all ps3fanboys all ran out of money after flopzone 2 ..

[Nitrowolf2]

Um no
Most opf us are likey out of money due to the fact that we were saving up for all the exclusive that came out recently.

What about you bots? Have you been saving your money just for this game? btw how many new IP have the 360 released in the past 2 years?

[ReviewsArePolitics]

Said the moron that settles for an inferior console when any working gamer can get a PS3 AND a decent PC rig.

[hatchimatchi]

i didn't run out of money. I just don't spend my hard earned cash on crap. Let me go check something real quick...

i've bought 13 games this year, 8 of them ps3 exclusives, and i still have at least one more to get. The new R&C game. Not to mention i've been watching blu-ray movies and playing online with friends for free.

what has your 360 done for you this year? the legendary cross game chat perchance?

[CernaML]

I ran out of spending money after buying Uncharted 2. Yet I got a free, signed copy of Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time earlier than its release date. You know what they say, the best things in life are always free. =]

[Dirk Benedict]

How does Bill Gates green sack taste?

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...the ChatBots just LOVE buying the same old SH!T!!! ;-D

[THE DUKE]

LOL chatbots thats a new one, oh yeh just realised, because we have cross game chat hahaha!

[hatchimatchi]

why do 360 kids rave on and on about cross game chat?

i personally have no idea what it is, but i think it'll be hilarious if the ps3 gets it cause the 360 kids won't have any cards left in their deck.

cross game chat < free online

[bigrudowsky]

@Memo-Xen x3100 - 0
I've played those games with the exception of demons souls and i'm still interested in mw2 man the killzone campaign was horrible imo nice eye candy but no where near as good as the first mw uncharted was one of the best games ive played this gen that and gears 2 were amazing..... Just because you play great games doesnt mean youre going to stop looking forward to other games if thats the case then why look forward to gow3 or heavy rain.

[Tex117]

Did anybody ever consider that the type of gamer as a general rule who bought a ps3 just didn't have a huge thing for the First Person Shooter?

If I had a thing for FPS, I would have bought an Xbox and Halo.

[ceedubya9]

got Modern Warfare for the PS3. A LOT. I think WaW sold a whole lot too.

[NoOoB101]

someone actually called MW2 hardcore...
MW2 caters to the noob, meaning people without much skill play that game because the auto aim and twitch is set up for u, just like umm whats that games name...halo? I'll be skipping this game. Might try out operation flashpoint after I'm done with demons souls.

[pokeystaples]

I bought more games than I care to admit to this month and last month. Plus, f*ck activision.

Kinda related: I don't know anyone buying the game. :-/ there are obviously like a kazillion people in love with it, but none of my friends, 360 or PS3, are picking it up.

[Saaking]

What did you expect? there's nothing else to buy.

[THE DUKE]

no its just that there are many more people who own a xbox 360....makes sense doesnt it.

[ReviewsArePolitics]

There's no way that there are so many 360s out there, RROD must have forced some to make multiple purchases. Also, the high attach rates are scratched discs (good $$$ move microshaft). The only viable explanation is a total lack of games on 360 owners side. Who can blame them? It's the best game they'll get this year, another generic shooter. Everything else sucked for them.

[Nitrowolf2]

bots would react like this. I mean first off, That doesn't make the game more superior if it sells more on 360. Wait until a real comparison is done, then rather sit there and play sales. Also really funny how you guys are going crazy for sales of a Multiplat game. I mean if it was exclusive then it would be more understandable, but a Multiplat? Just stupid, I mean that doesn't make it superior. Wouldn't tthat be one of the Dumbest thing to say
Person 1:"hmm wich version should i get"
Person 2: "Get the 360 Version it sold allot more then the ps3 version wich makes it superior, even though i know nothing of how either of them play, or if they look different"

[bujasem_89]

xbots are all just realizing how owned they got by MS with ODST and they all are done with it so they are ready for this,

while im still torn trying to find time to play both demons sould and U2 multiplayed i dont even have time for MW2 and im sure alot of ppl cant afford like 4-6 games in a period of 2in a half months ,

its like tekken ,rachet,assassins creed,MW2,FF13 and include U2 with demons souls its a pretty full house so u sort of get why 360 fans buy more cause they are super DRY ON GAMES

[Nitrowolf2]

yes they are very dried on games. I mean PS3 like you said got a Full house, 360 on the other hand only came out with what 2 big exclusive this year? One of them being pretty much a DLC and the other one not really improving from the one before it. And then there Multiplat wich both ps3 and 360 got. But hey, at least im enjoying new IP, unlike some people who are just playing the same game they have been playing for years

[bujasem_89]

thts totally what i think , but seriously for anyone who doesent own demons souls seriously u need to get it if u can cause the game is AMAZING!! its been a long time since a game was this challenging .

if u want an example wee :it makes u playing MW2 on Vetran or U2 on Crushing feel like the biggest pu**y ever when a Level's little baddy monster can kick the sh*T out of ya xD seriously so awesome

[Raoh]

Not surprising at all. so many factors play into this.

More FPS gamers on 360.

Less games out for the 360 in 2009 for them to choose from, their excited for anything right now.

PS3 owners have to many options to commit to just one game.

The announcement about the timed DLC Maps for MW2 pissed off some PS3 owners.

Killzone 2 still kicks azz.

Uncharted multiplayer kicks azz.

Demon's Souls takes up most of our time.

There are just too many shooters out.

Playing MAG beta.

[ceedubya9]

False. If you said less exclusive games then yes. But despite a huge list of exclusive games compared to Sony, there are plenty of games coming, 1st-3rd party, that 360 only gamers can look forward to.

Having large lists of exclusives only seem to matter to people on N4G and gaming message boards that like to compare their console choices. The rest of the gaming world, which is much larger, just buys what they want and could care less who its made by.

[bobcostus]

Who F%&^ING Cares? Seriously? Fanboys wanna fap their e-peens to some stupid stats for a website that MILLIONS of console owners don't even use? Jesus...

[arakouftaian]

for 60 plus 20gcard from amazon

or just wait for it
im sure i can find it a 20 or 25 in the next 2 months what should i do?

[DiLeCtioN]

Call of Duty is multi-platinum on both consoles it feels like IW made it exclusively for the xbox 360. I say this because i feel that the amount of support towards the PS3 was just too small.

I have both consoles and tbh with you all COD4 and WAW ran pretty smooth on 360. When i switched to PS3 online it just felt like IW didnt put much effort on the PS3 version.

So am not suprised that its being sold on 360 more atm, its almost like an exclusive for 360 owners.

[bujasem_89]

''its almost like an exclusive for 360 owners''...

Dude new type of fail and low at the same time, right here xD

[DiLeCtioN]

I said so because of the amount of people playing COD4 online on xbox live, compared to actual exclusive games like Halo 3. If you played COD4 on 360 you will know what am talking about.

I aint a fanboy am stating what ive experienced on PSN and XBL. Majority of friends on XBL play COD4,L4D,HALO3 and Fifa.

[blackpanther25]

but i'm not getting this game on my ps3 anyway.....Just got uncharted 2 and about to get demon souls and uncharted 1. Besides that i have way too many FPS games

1.killzone 2
2.COD4MW
3.Resistance 2
4.Battlefield bad company
5. MAG beta
6. Tom clancy's Rainbow six Vegas 2

I am done with FPS for a while......

[crazyclown]

uhmm cuz ps3 owners are getting 1 exclusive after another. Who cares anyways? Did you realize that there a no good games out on xshit right now?

[ceedubya9]

Wrong zone.

[_vx]

wow ppl still buy this cheap game LOL epic fail

[Snatcher]

They hype every exclusive that is for the PS3. And when it comes out, they don't buy it.

Killzone 2 only sold 2 Millions. And how many PS3 owners are there? 25M?

That's sad. One of the most hyped games selling that bad. That game got talked about from 2005. The flopness of that game is undeniable. It's like that with every PS3 exclusive. PS3 owners don't buy games.

That is fricking sad. And don't come to me with who cares about sales statement. Obviously, if a game sells bad, that means that the PS3 owners don't waste their money on the games, because they think that it is not worth their time.

Keep spinning it.

[digger18]

If PS3 owners don't waste money on games, then why has the PS3 got a higher attach rate?

This is from April this year and since then it has got higher:
http://www.gamasutra.com/ph...

[LtSkittles]

Wait so, Halo 3:OPDLC(OverPriced-DLc) sold 2.million, then it's a failure?

Haha I can do it too.

[hatchimatchi]

i own 32 ps3 games and that's not counting the psn games i've bought.

guess what, killzone2 is in my collection and MW isn't.

i don't buy recycled garbage.

I'll take quality 3rd party support (skate2, arkham asylum, dead space) anyday over call of duty nonsense.

That's what i love about the ps3, we get all the multiplat games plus the best exclusives, and then when we get the timed exclusives from the 360 we get better features and add ons. crazy huh?

[spektical]

not surprised
1. xbox will get better version
2. one of the few only good games coming out for the xbox, if you regard this as a good game. ( i think its MW1.5)
3. Activision pissed of the ps3 community
4. ps3 has a lot of good games
In all #3 could be an important reason for less sales on the ps3.

[_vx]

Activision pissed of the ps3 community,,,wtf this have to do with the game sales LOL fail hahhaa

[ceedubya9]

That they'll still buy 2-4 million copies of this game.

[mario888]

There are too many exclusives coming out on the PS3 that are not all shooters and I'm too busy playing Uncharted 2. Besides it's going to be the same crap but different maps. Xbox gamers really don't have anything else to play so they can't wait for this game to come out.

Games I Still need to get on the PS3: Demon Souls and God of War Bluray.

[w00tdogg]

I have a ps3, and had a 360 for many years.
I had MW2 paid off and reserved for ps3, but I changed it to Uncharted 2, because UC2's multiplayer is stellar.

With so many games coming out for ps3, exclusive and multi-platform, I suddenly find MW2 dropping on my priority list. If I had a 360 still (had 4 of them brick the disc drives) and my only other choice was ODST, I'd definitely get MW2.

Right now I'm more concerned with Borderlands and Demon's Souls to be bothered with MW2, which is basically an expansion upon MW1. MW1 was a great game (I had for 360, ps3 and pc), and I'm sure MW2 will be too, but I'm more concerned with new games right now.

Bottomline from an ex-360 fanboy, which converted to ps3 because of outlandish hardware failure: 360 owners don't really have much to choose from right now, so of course all its owners are buying MW2.

[maverick1191]

not surprised we are having all the exclusives like U2 etc and the only game thats worth getting on a 360 is a multi plat

[BonhamZ0S0]

It's always sales with you bots, isn't it?

[DS36]

THERE ARE WAY MORE XBOX360 IN THE WORLD THAN PS3s
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PS3 FAN AND THAT WHY I OWN SINCE DAY ONE BECAUSE "HE WHO LAUGHS LAST, LAUGHS BEST" YOU WILL SEE

[cmrbe]

two times more x360 in NA?. In any case, this proves that x360 fans are mostly hardcore shooter fans. What happened to F3. Why aren't there 2 million first day sales report?.

[spunnups]

PS3 owners are busy spending their money elsewhere. When you have other options like Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, Ratchet and Clank, and God of War Collection and Ninja Guiden Sigma 2, I mean cmon.

[bujasem_89]

wanna play sales although it aint my thing AT ALL but...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/be...

360= 1 game in the top 10

PS3=4 games in the top 10 there now STFU lol xD

[wild-noob]

but some ppl just got OWNED !!!

[Snatcher]

Microsoft is going to advertise the sh*t out of Natal. The casual audience will go crazy. The PS3 will stay dead last. And be prepared to be blown away by Halo Reach sales. You were suprised by Halo 3 sales? Then you have seen nothing yet.

EDIT below: You mean that game that flopped when it comes to sales?

EDIT2: ENJOY YOUR EXCLUSIVE ON YOUR DEAD LAST CONSOLE.

[TheTeam06]

*pauses Uncharted 2* What? Oh, yeah, whatever. *resumes Uncharted 2*

@above: *pauses Uncharted 2* What now? What game are you even talking about? Please stop interrupting me!! *resumes Uncharted 2*

@above: *lowers volume* What? Can you repeat what you said? Make it quick, I'm about to pre order Heavy Rain, God of War III, The Agency, Final Fantasy, Agent, and Ratchet & Clank before I put some money down for ModNation Racers, Gran Turismo, MAG, The Last Guardian, Resistance 3 and maybe DC Universe Online. I'm not sure about that one yet.

[ZBlacktt]

Funny to see MS and Sh*t in the same sentence, lol. Reminds me of the rushed out the door poor quality console we've all been seeing over the years.

[ZBlacktt]

Ironic, look at your avatar.....

[Shmotz]

And I do not care how much the other console sells sales wise. So long as I get a good game with a robust(which it will be) and active online community I am happy with my Hardened Edition of MW2.

[Knightofelemia]

I won't get CODMW2on the 360 for the simple fact I hate listening to kids screaming into a mic and ruining my online experience. I would rather choose it for the PS3 for the simple fact I know its quieter and my online experience is not ruined. Yes I do agree the Xbox controller is better suit for FPS game but I choose gameplay over the feeling of a controller.

[Highlife]

Well duh PS3 has other great games Xbox has?????

[chisox100]

It's only because we have other games to purchase and after buying Uncharted 2, Ractchet and Clank, Demon's Souls and pre-ordering the God of War Collection. I'm broke so i have no need for this generic shooter.

[horndog]

so stop fulling yourselves. Some people just don't like the fact that this game will be better on xbox than all other consoles or that maybe everything else besides Halo will pale in comparison in terms of sale. Forget everything else this year, MW 2 will clean house. Cant wait.

[TheMailman]

Yeah, right... I chose my games according to sales numbers...

Typically comment from a Xbox Fan...

[TheMailman]

But who cares for MW2? Let the Xbox 360 kids have a blast with it...

[Henry Cain]

Thats a weak a$$ opinion. I have a 360 and I dont like the controller at all. I prefer my PS3 controller. But it doesn't matter I can play on any controller. Give me an atari joystick and I can game. You must be wack.

[ZBlacktt]

Back in 2007, the Xbox was how much? The PS3 was how much? People like cheap no matter what. Even with a very high fail rate. The game built a fan base off the "cheaper" console. So even with the millions of Xbox owners getting RROD's. They still own the system and this is why we see the numbers we do. Plus, look around, the PS3 has many "better" AAA games out now for it's player's to be busy with. This game is WAY more hype than it really is at the end of the day. To me, it's just another game coming out. In no rush at all to buy it or play it.

[keysy420]

nothing new about this game i didnt rush out and buy the first one and after i got it played for abouta month it was over and doen with i played because of my friends. seriously their are better games and the industry is growing only 360 fans aare hanging on to last gen games with high def graphics. halo2 in hd and dlc = halo 3

[Omega Zues]

No seriously, i'm broke too. I bought Demons Souls and Uncharted 2 then the left over money is going towards God of War Collection. I have no money nor the time for another FPS.

[JonnyBigBoss]

As a PS3/PC/Wii owner, I'm not interested in Modern Warfare 2. There are too many great games coming out and I don't feel like playing a game that's so similar to COD4.

[ebpmanitoba]

Didn't even like the first one that much

[itsralf]

because PS3 users are smart enough to know better. why would we want modern warfare 1.5 when we have uncharted 2, demon's souls, and ratchet and clank this month?

[PinkUni]

im buying bc2 over mw2

[SSCOOLCHEA]

never played it never care for it . next game im getting is demons souls and the god of war collection . im in the MAG beta right now , playing uncharted 2 , playing nba2k10 playing , mlb the show ,so realy no time to drop 60 bucks on MW2 .

ps3 owners have to many freakin games to buy in one month . bots get 1 good game every 6 months .

[I am Legend]

I guess it's popular now to hate Call of Duty. Can't wait to read the comments when the reviews go up. It'll be ODST review comments all over again.

[Darkshader]

Ofcourse if you are a XBOX owner, and reside in america ... you will definetly buy MW2. That's the only game that will get you through this holiday unless you are a racing fan and pick up Forza 3. Halo 3 ODST is all hype and not worth $60. I rather have a Fall Out 3 Year Edition.

While PS3 owners are so busy playing KZ2, Infamous, UC2, MW2, Demons Souls, and reserving their money for Final Fantasy XIII (import copy), MAG (on January). So no wonder the ratio is 2 to 1. No suprise there!

[Ninji]

Xbots love rehashes & repackaged games which could easily be DLC. PS3 owners are saving their money for better games (either that or they just ran out of money buying all of the AAA exclusives this year).

[gamingisnotacrime]

Uncharted 2
Demons Souls
Fallout 3 GotY

Next in line:
GoW collection
Ratchet and Clank
Borderlands

Why the hell would i care to use my money on MW 4.5?
Specially the way Activision is treating gamers, no way i will support that behavior

[xg-ei8ht]

ape007

The controller makes you feel like your shooting a real gun, Man you should really do standup.

Most sales of MW2 would be in the home of the gun. The US. 360 sales are most in the US, So yeah i'm guessing it would be selling more on the 360.

Then ontop of that, what advertising is been done for the PS3 version, i haven't seen any footage of it running on PS3, just 360.

Then you got UNCHARTED 2, 10/10 Game if ever there was one.

Best graphics i've ever seen.

I Never had a PS2, so i'll probably be picking up GOW1&2 Edition.

I do also want to try out demons souls.

I do love FPS, So i will take a look at MW2.

[mayberry]

too bust filming vids of my kid in his Halloween costume on the PlayStation eye camera. also downloaded r&c demo to play later then get more trophies on uc2 for my first platinum trophy! wooot! too busy to worry bout mw2. might rent it. kz2 is my fps of choice till something better. nothing else compares at all!

[skatezero246]

not surprised, the ps3 has a better selection when it comes to upcoming games that are being released/have been released near modern warfare 2 (uncharted 2, demon souls, ratchet and clank), and theres one multi-plat i'll be picking up before 2010 and thats tekken 6(and what company made this series famous?) thats right Sony

[horndog]

is what those ps3 exclusives will be when MW 2 comes out. The buzz this year will be about MW 2. No denying it or way to spin it. Don't try and substitute some weak sauce games for MW 2. There is no substitute. UC 2 as pretty as it is just can't hold a candle against MW 2 in terms of replayability . MW is one of those games that is still being played like crazy even after it's been out for over a year. Can you fanboys say that your exclusives will have the same effect after a year? LOL. Barely anyone plays KZ 2 anymore and it hasn't even been a year. MW 2 for the ps3 has already climbed up to number 3 on amazon as uncharted 2 is quickly coming down. Like i said, don't kid yourselves. Give credit where credit is due and let the sales speak for a game. No one buys a game because it's crappy.

[jashwin]

im broke.i just bought uncharted 2 and littlebigplanet and iam saving for god of war collection and mag.cod:mw2 is gonna be great and all but its just another boring fps.....il just enjoy playing the awesome uncharted 2 multiplayer...

[jashwin]

i made the right decision.I bought a ps3 instead of an xbox..i love sony.. sony has the strongest lineup this holiday

[tiamat5]

No surprise. Xbox owners always jump to play any generic shooter that comes their way Halo, Call of Duty, Left for Dead. They run down these games as if their lives depended on it. PS3 owners prefer to wait and see if the game is any good. I for one don't trust these kinds of shooters and will wait to see what people say before wasting my money, money that could be being used for Demon Souls, RAC:ACIT or even Tekken 6. I fact I think I will pass on MW2 and Assasins's Creed 2 as well. Maybe i will start saving up for Bayonetta or Heavy Rain.

[jetlian]

funny thing about all this ps3 fans claim they have all these exclusives to play instead. That cod is generic and KZ2,mgs4 re1/2 are all better. but whats the 2nd best selling game on ps3 lol cod4 first is gta4. 2 mplatform games.

amazon is based all over the world 360 doesn't hve a double install base either

[M337ING]

Amazon.com is only the US branch. Hence: amazon.co.uk, amazon.fr, etc.

[jetlian]

company doesn't release facts that way

when people talk about cod4 selling 13 million they don't break it down by country. but they do compare systems as a whole

[Tdmd]

I won't get it. At least definetly not this year. As mane of you stated, I'll have my hands full with Uncharted 2, Demon's Soul, Assassin2 R&C, Dragon Age and even an the now pretty old DMC4, since I haven't played it yet and just bought it. And again, at the begining of the next year there will be GoW3, White Knight Chronicles, Star Ocean 4, FFXIII (hopefuly)and Dantes Inferno. It really will be a very long while before a even think about this one. xD

[keysy420]

PS is turing into the hardcore and causal destination Mw2 has competition u2 borderlands demonsouls i got all this week and all in my eyes are better than call of duty 4 so 6 has to step its game up. but eople are buyingthe 360 version because other people are. soon as cross game chat comes and people are playing the ps3 more and more. you'll st people not depending on live so musch. really ask your self are people buying mw2 on 360 becuase its on 360 or cause of live. which at this point in time it seems that the psn is on the same level as live. plus the biggest reason that i have found out why people in america arent buying a ps3 is they dont know what it does and that it is more advanced than the 360. all the time i get i didnt know the ps3 did that or they something that doesnt make sense like you can t play online or something like that something stupid that makes you ask its 2010 why would nt a video game system let you play online

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

PS3 has many more solid releases to play, where as 360 gamers don't... Uncharted 2's online might even keep me from logging into my 360 to play L4D2 when it comes out, Uncharted 2's online is really that damn good and addicting... not to mention best graphics in console multiplayer out there!

[keysy420]

are still invmy collection

[keysy420]

this the mark that matters how many games on each system reached this mark this year.That's what matter. who cares if you have 3 games that reach 3 millon if you have 6 that reach 2

[Becko]

I'm not surprised, 360 is mainly a FPS genre machine... where the PS3 is a mix genre machine,

[kaaos666]

Who cares i play games not sale,by the way i wont be getting this game.

[jeffesco1]

Im not surprised, ps3 has had to many great games recently. 360 has had nothing since COD4. Its like when a man has had no pu**y in some time, u just grab what ever u can lol.

[ambientFLIER]

Hmm, this is on amazon. Elsewhere, the 360 version has 1.5 mil preorders, and the ps3 version .5 mil. Not like it matters anyway, but still.

[ssbains]

True immersive experience the XBOX RR0D 360 can't match

[MANTIIS]

What's the point? That Microsoft launched 360 one full year ahead of PS3, taking a crap on quality control, so that they might be in a position to do something like this? This article is flamebait, and in no way substantiates that 360 is "better" than PS3. It only proves that a larger install base (which is rapidly shrinking) will obviously yield more fruit. But we already know that. If higher MW2 sales for 360 somehow translate to integrity of hardware, or any other positive attribute that Microsoft or its desperate fans would like to assume over PS3...you are all deluding yourselves. It means nothing other than that there isn't really anything else new for 360 that's worth paying 60.00 for, coupled with the fact that there are approximately 8 million more 360's than PS3's worldwide. As for the PC version, we all know why those sales for this game are down. Gimme a frikkin break.

[Its_The_Truth]

wow im surprised that everyone is surprised by a FPS selling more on a FPS only console. The 360 fanboys are a bunch of 12 to 18 year olds that dont know how to play any other genre. I give my hat off to them by trying out Forza 3 because its a racing game, but you slap Halo or C.O.D on anything and the 360 fanboys will praise and worship it. For us PS3 owners theres more to gaming than camping behind a wall with a M16 and shoots anything that moves and the poor B******* want move from that spot, sorry 360 fanboys but we have better 1st party exclusives to play.

Oh Borderlands is awsome ClapTrap FTW!!!!!!

[sakura2009]

this make sense. microsoft fanboys love shooters

[andfed]

Dude 3 of the 5 best selling games for ps3 are fps: MW, COD WOW and resistance, how can you say that ps3 owners dont like shooters?

[sakura2009]

i didnt say ps3 owners dont like shooters. when it comes down to who loves shooters. 360 owners and microsoft fanboys are shooters fanatics.

[Odin777]

Is there even anything other than multiplats coming for Xbox this year? I seriously don't know, that damned thing has kind of lost my interest, honestly. 360 was kind of a waste of my money, really; I got for Star Ocean a couple months back and haven't played it since.

[Goomba12]

No matter how long you're gone from N4G, right when you get back its more of the same, mine is bigger than yous!

[Senden]

Doesn't suprise me one bit.. I own both consoles and I know that without a shadow of a doubt i'd always want to get it on the xbox over ps3. The 360 controller was designed with fps games in mind plus xbl is better than psn and a lot more people talk too! For better or worse though :(

[FF7numbaone]

well why buy it for ps3 this year when I can get it on pc for free?

[Shrinkwrap]

I agree with most of the PS3 players comments.
I'm sure hardcore gamer's with have MW2 by the first week.

There are some wonderful PS3 games for sale, gathered into a closely packed group.

There is also the new price of the PS3 at @299.00, which means more casual gamer's. Their time is limited playing games.

Thus, selection is sometimes selective, so all family members are able to enjoy a game that can be played by everyone.

COD is a good series, But it's on my back burner for now.
I will most likely pick it up, MW2 will be filled in at a later date for me also.

That's All Folk's.....

[elpresador]

....%age is what it is all about. Also, Ps3 exclusive FPS games dont sell anywhere as near many copies as does exclusive (or othersie even) fps games on the 360, i meanKZ2 has just only recently past 2 mil, a good number, but MW2 for 360 (and i would bet the ps3 as well) will beat that number in first week if not the first day.

If i am not mistaken. COD4 sold near as many on each console so it was near 50/50 so saying the base is higher is a cop out.

FInally, the 360 I think has the better controller and for me, 2 reasons, 1 of which no one ever really mentions.

1. Offset sticks: the way they are on there just feels more natural and....

2. 360 sticks are concave unlike the ps3 which is convex so, the lil dimples on the 360 sticks help to keep your thumbs in place.

[Tron_Rocks]

Say all you want PS3 fanboys, but it matters not how many new games are out for the PS3 the XBOX 360 ALWAYS beats the PS3 in sales of the same game. And when the reviews start coming in professing why this is the GOTY you may put it down here, but you will run out and buy this game as it will be everything that KZ2 wasn't!

[Dannehkins]

Go outside please. :D

[tudors]

that is supposed to be in decline.

[yorkie]

Still like to see some actual numbers

[Iceman100]

should it be that obvious in the4 first place? The 360 just has better online period.

"MW2, which feels outdated after playing Killzone 2"

what the hell is killzone2? i thought we were talking about a established game here that people care about....and actually buy.

[DigitalAnalog]

I'm not hating on MW2 and no doubt it will sell.

But I'm glad that the sales rate for the PS3 is not so ridiculously high as I expected. It shows that Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls and other awesome exclusives are doing their job. Why idiotic 360 fans consider this as a negative only further reveals their inner stupidity. So it shows, MW2 is just garnered for it's "brand loyalty" only.

[Dannehkins]

Question: Amazon now accounts for 100% of the sales of Modern Warefare 2 sales?

Answer: No.

There might be retailers that find the PS3 version outsold the Xbox 360 version. At the end of the day, the Xbox 360 version sold more in the last instalment so I don't see why you would expect it to change considering the install base is still more.

Iceman by the way, Killzone is a PlayStation 3 game. Just to keep you updated there, you seem a bit blind for some reason.

AND at the end, enjoy your game. Surely you'd rather enjoy it then come on here to talk figures and numbers that some of you wouldn't be able to interpret even if it slapped you in the face? (not everyone).

The game isn't even out yet anyway so just calm yourself and try and not get a bit giddy.

[mastiffchild]

I just read the article again after thinking about something and it reads like this is just the US sales. In that case you'd expect a larger gaop than2:1 wouldn't you? I thought the 360 had outsold the PS3 by nearer to 3:1 than 2:1 in the USA, no? If so then the attach rate from thse figues for MW2 would seem higher for the PS3 than the 360 wouldn't it?

I'm not flaming here at all and would expect the 360 version to sell better even on a worldwide basis than the PS3 version even if I can't see it ending up at 2:1. For lots of reasons too-360 owners love their shooters and this is their only real big one this year while PS3 had KZ2(not counting ODST as I'm thinking this is more about buying a game to play on Live, which you'll want to do if you pay for said service-and ODST's online is basically Halo3 again with added Horde)and in truth stands out as the niggest 360 game of the year to many, PS3 has four exclusives out in a month right now and many of the other reasons people have listed will contribue to this too.

But, if this is just the US Amaon figures then it just isn't any story at all and like you say above, whatever these figues are or show Amazon is still only one retailer and isn't as popular a method in other countries either-so enough of this stuff as news. And since when were figures for the US the same as those worldwide? The only way to see the full picture, howver,is to wait and see just how many atually do get sold everywhere before we say one console or the other has a demographic more willing to fund Activision's greed!

[Lanontscuz]

ill be buying MW2 in the future not now i got to many other games on my list but this game is behind BF2 for sure !!

[Bumpmapping]

Just goes to show you most of the 360 userbase is children.

[Bullseye]

two copies for the 360 and one to the PS3 then? I thought everyone was gonna boycott this game, because of the high prices or lack of server support! Guess they can afford to be arrogant f***'s after all.

[Pwee]

Well yeah because PS3 has more exclusives to play.

Xbox has nothing better so people buy MW2.

[finbars75]

Of course it is.Thats all the xbox has for games.Plus the xbox is for kids and it shows.I have tried playing cod many times on the xbox and its all kids, kids and kids.Plus you pay to be online for the xbox so you have to get your moneys worth correct?Come on fanboys attack me im waiting.Just remember the truth hurts.I will stick to a more mature audience on my ps3 where I can actually play the game and not listen to the high squeeky noises of a kid yelling in my ear.I have to say one thing I do feel bad for the pc I feel like they got the short of the stick.Way to go infinity for screwing over a larger community.Is this end for infinity after mwf2?Plzzz treyarch show infinity ward how its done in waw2 next summer.

[gtamike123]

PS3 owners have games to play, unlike 360 owners.

[SSJHero]

i played MW and played WaW but i dont know if im going to be playing this (Playing Demon's Souls and soon to be playing Uncharted 2 not to mention me and my friends still have fun playing BlazBlue once and awhile (on the ps3 of course 3shitty controller sucks major ass) so if i play the game it depends on if my brother buys it or not)

[drdre74]

thast not news since the last one did the same thing.

[DK_Kithuni_71]

has no games so the Xbots will support Modern Warfare 2 in huge numbers.

I'm playing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and waiting for Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time.

[jeseth]

...the leading contributing factor to this is a serious onslaught of high quality exclusive games (and some great multiplats too : Borderlands, Brutal Legend, Batman AA) all hiting the PS3 within the last month and in the coming week.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Demons Souls
Uncharted 2
and Ratchet and Clank ACIT

...all hitting PS3 in a span of about 30 days on top of the good multiplats I mentioned earlier.

I'm sure COD MW2 will sell great on PS3 but PS3 owners have just had a lot more excellent exclusive games to tempt them...and their wallets!

[cliffyboy21]

well it's alot different when your a playstation owner and you have a number of games to choose from, unlike the trashbox 360 yall play the same game over and over like halo 1,2,3, and odst so of course 360 owners would be used to the call of duty franchise if you can sit there and play all 4 halo's. But PS3 owners have plenty of different type of games to choose from, like we just got uncharted2 and everybodys busy with that game so why would we get two games back to back.

[Mindsucker]

hmm the fact hat uncharted 2 just came ot and demons souls and now R and C plus the GoW collection I think that would have something to do with this plus it is just Amazon. o wait I forgot Xbox fans have Halo and Forza and are getting A$$ raped by MS for all there money Yup this 2 to 1 thing makes no scene wow maybe the game suks on the ps3

[Halo_Reach]

Lol

Xbox Live all the way , i wont turn my Ps3 untill God of War 3 - What a waste of money ...

Bring it on IW - Modern Warfare 2 is the Definitive Online exprience and it only can be played on its FULL QUALITY on Xbox LIVE!

[Moebius69]

What do you mean by FULL QUALITY?i'd really like to know

[Double07]

In order to turn your PS3 on you'd actually need to buy one first >.>

Stupid inbred troll.

[itsralf]

I'm pretty sure PS3 was the lead platform for MW2...

[Halo_Reach]

"I'm playing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and waiting for Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time. "

Oh Really ? Im yet playing Shadow Complex , ODST , Forza MotorSport 3 and Brutal Legend and much more while i will be buying MW2 DAY ONE!

ahah

[Kiroe]

I chose to preorder on the Xbox 360 as for the past COD games it was visually superior (higher resolution textures). I really hope IW spent the extra time to polish up the PS3 version.

[creatchee]

Heh. The "PS3 owners have other games to play" argument is kind of stupid - especially when the sales figures come in and it becomes apparent that we didn't buy the exclusives all that much either.

And are people REALLY including PixelJunk Shooter and Demon's Souls in the lists of games preventing MW2 pre-orders? Those games are too niche-oriented to have a sales impact on other games (especially a blockbuster-type release such as MW2). Stop assuming that just because a game is good means that it will sell well or steal sales from other games - the same logic works in reverse as well (see Wii Fit).

I bought (and loved) Uncharted 2, and am looking forward to GT5 and GOW3, but to say that MW2 isn't going to see well because of those or other exclusives that are coming out is just plain idiotic. MW2 has mass appeal, a pedigree that includes some of the best-selling games of all-time, and longevity when it comes to replay value. I'm sure that the 360 version will sell better, but it won't be 2:1 bad. Probably more like 3:2 or 5:4...

[Darkshader]

"I bought (and loved) Uncharted 2, and am looking forward to GT5 and GOW3, but to say that MW2 isn't going to see well because of those or other exclusives that are coming out is just plain idiotic"

Dude that is not being idiotic ... that is REALITY. If you bought an Uncharted 2 and you are a student with no job for example, you won't rush to buy a MW2 unless you have extra money. Ofcourse that person will still buy MW2, but in no way he will rush to purchase or preorder it as PS brand was well know as a RPG console and not FPS. Here are some other reasons.

1. XBOX 360 is still leading by 8 million worldwide and twice the ratio of XBOX360 owners here in the US, so no wonder they reserve or purchase brand name games more than the PS3 owners.

2. XBOX brand is known for FPS games, not JRPG, Fighting, Adventure, Racing, Platform genre.

3. Most PS3 owners now are older and mature. They didn't grew up playing FPS games, especially japanese gamers. So it would take a long time for a FPS game to sell more copies than Halo, Gear of War, or Modern Warfare series compared to Xbox 360.

4. Most PS3 owners are older and mature, gaming is not their priority especially if they are married or have kids. I have a friend who purchase games 1 or 2 a year on his PS3, due to the fact that he doesn't have time to play anymore and spend more time with his kids. Another example my co-worker bought a PS3 game 1 year ago because he thinks that the game is so expensive and spent more of his money traveling. The next generation of PS3 owners will determine which genre will they support ... FPS or RPG or All. While XBOX owners grew up playing FPS, ofcourse they will support FPS games now that they are in their late teens or early 20's with jobs.

5. A lot of variety of PS3 games to chose from especially 1st Party games

[AnonUser5555]

I don't feel like going through all the comments. My points have probably ALREADY been made, but I'll say what I'm thinking anyways:

a) 360 owners are bigger FPS fans. Period. I mean, they kind of have to be--that's the only type of AAA game they ever really get.

b) PS3 owners are too busy with our other AAA titles to care about MW2 right now. Will I pick up MW2? Yea, probably. But between Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, and a few other great games that have come out recently (And those still to come like Ratchet & Clank: ACIT), I just don't have MW2 high on the priority list right now.

c) The PS3 owner base tends to be a bit older/more mature. So perhaps they're actually sticking to their anger with Activision over all their recent comments.

[finbars75]

I belive that xbox is pretty much fps but i feel its because there more narrow minded and not open to other types of games where you have to use your brain.It really is to bad that ms cant give other developers a chance to show that theres more out there.Thats the one thing that the ps3 has come through on.It is always nice to have something refreshing every month and not something thats dated or unoriginal.

[tordavis]

@finbars75 - Portal, a game where you must think the entire time, says hi.

Fanboy goggles on:

Xbox 360 gamers are older and more mature because they have jobs and can afford more games. They can also stay up late and play. PS3 gamers are teens and have homework to do and depend on their parents to buy their games.

Fanboy goggles off:

See what I did there? Waiting for the hate...

[IncredibleGames]

some of you are pathetic. especially the ps3 guys. "the ps3 has too much to chose from for me to bother with mw2"

haha please. you all know you will be one of the first ones buying the game at midnight release.

[TABSF]

Its gonna be £15 or $20 cheaper on PC, DLC comes free in patches and its mouse and keyboard.

Most likely Pre-loaded on Steam, so instant access at midnight

[Silber]

It´s really simple. The PS3 have no First Person Shooter Fanbase. Look at Killzone 2. Good Game, but "nobody" in the normal Gamers World is interested in it.

[ExposingLames]

its cuz ps3 owners tend to be real men, we arent supporting activision....f them

and wow yet another FPS holy god!!! they arent completely ran into the ground and the same thing over and over and over and over or anything, COD can thank casual gamers for the success it has.....a easy game anybody can pick up and be good at....not to mention showing you the entire OTHER team on your radar

[red2tango]

Why would I buy a game for $69.99 that's not even as good as Uncharted 2? I'm going to trade in some crappy games and buy it used when a $10 price drop occurs in Canada.

[Guitardr85]

Two weeks ago, I bought Demon's Souls. Last week I bought Uncharted 2. Since i'm sure most PS3 owners are in the same boat (since we actually have games we can buy), what makes people think that PS3 owners would actually still buy MW2?!?! I look at the numbers and think, "Yeah, that seems about right...We have other games we can buy too rather than just loading everyone up on one game and calling it a triumph!!!"

[tordavis]

That whole comment is there to prepare people for the lower sales ration on PS3 I'm sure. Spin Doctor!

[04soldier]

He said he bought two AAA titles for his ps3 allready and cant buy mw2 on 1st day. I cant believe theres gonna be a sales comparison between the ps3 & 360. This hobby we all love isnt cheap. He'd probably spend upwars of $60 to & $180 just to please some silly sales comparison.

[Spike47]

Look at Bubbles' comment. I can't believe some of you are trying so hard to spin this.

[Guitardr85]

Spin how? Because PS3 owners just don't like MW2 as much as 360 owners? I know I personally won't buy MW2 because I have already bought too many other games...and I don't care about it!!!

[Advari]

Too many games out on PS3 I want and with Heavy Rain coming next year CODMW2 I might buy for the PS3 after XBOX looses the timmed exclusive map pack. And maybe when Activision decides to stop treating customers like crap. Until then the only Xbox game I might buy is Left 4 Dead 2

[camachoreloaded8806]

because we don't have anything to play this fall/winter...

some of them might be multiplatform, but helloo? assassin's creed II? ballad of gay tony? left 4 dead 2? forza 3? borderlands? brutal legend? modern warfare 2? i don't know about you guys, but i got school and other activitiesto deal with, so this is more than enough for me.

fanboys always talking about ratchet and clank and demon's souls and the updated versions of god of war 1 and 2, like they're gonna straight up avoid modern warfare 2, borderlands, and other multiplatform titles, simply cause they're multiplatform. well shoot, your loss, enjoy your choice of games while i'll enjoy mine.

and for whoever says killzone 2 was better than cod4...riiiight. killzone 2 was tight no doubt, but they were selling that game on its graphics. multiplayer and weapon choice were average at best.

[finbars75]

First off the games you listed are multiplatform and one expansion as usual.Second Killzone isnt just for graphics the game is just a better put together game.Your just another cod fan who couldnt handle the realism and the smoothness of the game.The multiplayer was next to none where cod is just slipping down the holes as another average shooter.I prefer medal of honour series over cod anyday considering thats where cod got there ideas from.Frauds.You must be in elementary or jr high from the sounds of it.Past your bedtime???

[camachoreloaded8806]

good one. i'm not gonna bother bragging about myself, i already know the truth: i win at life.

there's a reason why call of duty is more popular than killzone. not just because of the quality, but it's fun, plain and simple. if killzone was as great as you people claim it is, it would have more sales than it has right now. 2 million? i'm not gonna bother looking at the stats, but i'll bet the ps3 version of cod4 sold more than that. 2 million is good, not doubt, but if all you fanboys love this exclusive so much, it didn't reflect in the sales numbers.

and if you don't count sales as part of the quality of a game, fine. go check the reviews. killzone got great reception, but cod4 got even greater praise.

i own both a ps3 and a 360 anyways, so i got it all.

and also, i completely disregard the pc when it comes to "console wars." sony fanboys claim that mass effect 2 doesn't count as an exclusive because it's also on the pc. b1tch please, the ps3 doesn't have it, and the 360 does, so you bet your ass it counts.

[AliTheBrit19]

As always, game developers know which console to support, its the console that gives them the most sales.

[Halo_Reach]

That game is a FAIL has a game.. .Lol

[Double07]

"That game is a FAIL has a game"

That obviously makes sense, right?

But anyways Im personally in the BETA for MAG and have played over 10 hours and not seen any lag on one occasion whereas I distinctly remember a game called Gears of War 2 having problems when the game supports 5 v 5 and you guys actually have to pay to play the game online. I'll break it down nice and simple though just for you.

MAG - 256 players - No lag ( in beta ) - Free to play via PSN
GOW2 - 10 players - Stupid number of bugs/ issues ( Full game ) - Pay to play via Xbox Live.

[itsralf]

MAG has absolutely no lag or connection errors, whatsoever...
Probably the smoothest online experience on the PS3 to date.

[MuLTi-PLaTFoRM]

Yes, i may hate activision. But i have pre ordered this game for ps3 and xbox. I love call of duty regardless of all the s*** surrounding the series.

[shadowboricua]

I am a CoD fan... but decided to spend my hard-earned cash on Uncharted 2, MW2 will have to wait.

[UrbanJabroni]

Before I start, _I_ believe MW2 will sell better on 360 than PS3 simply due to the larger install base. That said:

You are INSANE if you are one of the hundreds of people on this thread who are showing this blase' attitude of "well, we have so many great first party titles that we don't care/have time to but 3rd party titles."

Each and every console owner should deeply and truly want 3rd party titles to succeed, regardless of the relative quality versus 1st party titles. I _DO NOT_ want Sony to turn into Nintendo, where the 1st party titles are steller but the lack of 3rd party sales (amongst other reasons) means that we are stuck with a console with 1/2 ass third party support.

If it is true that Sony has "too many great 1st party titles" right now and people are spending all their money on them, as people on this site are arguing, then Sony has done a serious disservice to the other publishers (who pay the bills at Sony), and needs to work with them to spread their catalogue better.

[Sikct9a]

I like how everyone fights over a multi platform game. it's doesn't prove what the other system can do. Besides, what do you get out of a game that sells more than another system? Nerds!

Ps. I can't wait for this game

[04soldier]

I recently bought Demon's Souls & Uncharted 2 day one. I have a decent paying job. Im in the minority because of the extra disposable income I have.

I need my military fix because SOCOM'S not doing it for me. MW2 will tide me over until MAGS release....

[ll_UNDERSCORE_ll]

Day 1 rental. Not saying MW2 will be bad, it'll probably will be really good. Im a Battlefield fan since day1 so buying MW2 for a couple months of shooter action isn't really worth the purchase.

[phantomexe]

IMO i'm not surprised really i mean right now the PS3 has some of the hotest games going into dec far more then the 360 has before the end of the year.Think about it we get uncharted 2,god of war collection,we got demon souls,not counting games like dragon age,MW2 that are due out soon.I'm not saying this to bad mouth the xbox,i mean i love my xbox but right now the ps3 hot game count is way up there right now going into dec.I was just nameing a few off the top of my head.So maney great games on the ps3 right now and i'm pushing my wallet to its limit.I really don't beleave that MW2 is going be anywhere near as good as uncharted 2 it may sell more on name but not better.

[Omega Zues]

Amazon makes up 100% of all game sales. Walmart, Besbuy, Gamestop, None of those matter. Only Amazon.

I'm really really glad to know the pre-order numbers on Amazon for a gaming site. Its really important for gamer to know how well games are selling. Quick can some one give me the stock numbers on the DS?

[n4gno]

amazon.com = states, first explanation.

second, xbox has less great games (uncharted2, demon soul, ratchet, killzone, etc) and need call of duty.
