Red Dead Redemption To Sell Better On PS3?

NowGamer: With Red Dead Redemption launching in the UK tomorrow which way will format sales swing?

Her at NowGamer, we've noticed more interest in our PS3 review, with 68 per cent of all Red Dead Redemption review traffic clicking the link for the PlayStation version of the game, compared to the remaining 32 per cent interested in the Xbox 360 version...

but at my local EB Games, the PS3 version was sold out in a few hours.

Strangely enough, Just Cause 2 sold out a few hours after that.

Guess people were looking for an open world game and figured, what the hell - I'll get this instead.

Montrealien5114d ago

at my store is is neck in neck

60 sold on the Ps3

59 sold on the 360

darkmurder5114d ago

At the end of today at work we sold about 125 copies of RDR on 360 and about 89 on PS3

KillerBBs5114d ago

do you work in his store.

DelbertGrady5114d ago

Your store is unbiased? xD

HolyOrangeCows5114d ago (Edited 5114d ago )

Well, the exclusive content with Batman: AA and Dante's Inferno pushed the Ps3 a little further sales wise, but something tells me that we won't see quite the same results with a Rockstar game. Probably CLOSER sales, but still.

But like chanto23 said (Comment #7), it could be a bad thing, because Rockstar shouldn't be getting the idea that we don't mind bad ports.

----------

EDIT: @Below
We could argue what constitutes as a "bad port" all day, but we all know that with a little more attention, the Ps3 version could have easily walked along side the 360 version.

Ju5114d ago

It doesn't matter. As upset as I am, not selling on the PS3 won't help either. It doesn't change the fact, the game is great in it's own, though.

I hope they appreciate the PS3 customers and fix the issue in their next game. Maybe Agent would be a good (re)start.

UnwanteDreamz5114d ago (Edited 5114d ago )

I don't think it is a bad port. Ghostbusters was a bad port. RDR might not meet some peoples standards in the graphic department, but why would you expect it to?

Multiplatform games don't set the benchmark on PS3.

Calling this a bad port when there are so many other games worthy of this seems unfair. Now the Orange Box on PS3 that was a bad port.

Double Toasted5114d ago

Actually, Ghostbusters was a smh moment, because the ps3 was the lead platform but was the inferior product.

UnwanteDreamz5114d ago

I agree but they didn't do it with GTA4 so why are we surprised? With more attention it could have looked better IMO.

I just don't see the huge differences here. It's like SF5 alol I heard was how much better the 360 version looked but when I played it at gamestop I couldn't see a difference from the one I played on my PS3.

DMason5114d ago

I'll drop a little unbiased knowledge here with actual facts.

-The Xbox 360 version #1 on Amazon (preorders)
-The Xbox 360 version is #1 on Gamespot (one of the largest gaming websites)

So, because more people clicked through on this crappy website, that means the PS3 version is going to sell better? That logic is scary.

Its speculation. could or could not. not very newsworthy

njitram20005114d ago

I'm still thinking of buying the PS3 version because i want to be a ble to play online for free. If i get it for my xbox, I'll be missing out on multiplayer (because i refuse to buy a gold account)

PS360_375114d ago

These are the exact type of games I would prefer to play on my PS3. I guess others share the same feelings.

Either these numbers are off or the "PS3 version sucks articles" were completely ignored.

Biggest5114d ago

N4G isn't as well known as some people would like to believe. Out of the 72 people on my PSN list, 2 people know about the site. And they barely use it. Most of what we talk shit about on N4G is only for us. The rest of the gaming world doesn't care.

corneliuscrust5114d ago

were probably driven away by the insane amount of fanboys that ruin any decent discussion we try to have on here.

On BOTH sides.

Fishy Fingers5114d ago

Based on review traffic? Truly a new low. More likely people hitting the PS3 review because of all the drama over that version.

niceguywii605114d ago (Edited 5114d ago )

Not just because of the Drama over one version but because PS3 fans generally see reviews of high profile games as tools for their agenda. So they track reviews looking for points to score with a passion. The ratio would be similar even before Neogaff. I bet the ratio is around the same even with 360 exclusives.

himdeel5114d ago

...they scraped the bottom out of the barrel and are clawing at the bare cement floor underneath.

I'm convinced there is no such thing as game journalism. Just random articles with peoples random thoughts...

/sigh

DMason5114d ago

Gamespot(much bigger website) lists the Xbox version at number one. Amazone preorders charted the Xbox version at number one.

So, who do I believe? A crappy website with no crediblity, or Amazon and Gamespot?

I just want 4k/1440p and 60fps support. And with little glitches too ofc.

Snookies125d ago (Edited 5d ago )

This is about the PC version of RDR 1. The PC version of RDR 2 doesn't have a frame rate cap. Though I do agree, it is mind boggling that Rockstar still hasn't released a patch for consoles.

XiNatsuDragnel7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Honestly, a PS5 Pro isn't even needed for 60fps in this case. But if they wanted to use it show a game running maxed out at a high resolution at 60fps, I wouldn't complain. Just give us 60fps. lol

I think the Series X might have an issue running the One X version at a locked 60fps as that version was a full native 4K but they could just lower the resolution a bit.

purple1016d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I wish to play both stellar blade, and rdr2, on the pro, maxed out like an expensive pc,

would be good, especially for the price, even if thats £499/ £549

last I checked, a rtx 4070super was £580 for just the card!

DaReapa6d ago

There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.

15 PS3 Games That Would Absolutely Shine as PS5 Remakes

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming39d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long39d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming39d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10139d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor39d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6939d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming39d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno39d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming39d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.
