Don't PS3 Gamers Like Modern Warfare 2?

PS3Blog.net writes:

I was just looking at the American preorder chart, and the numbers seemed strange. I am comparing the number of PS3 preorders to the number of 360 preorders, as a percentage:

Modern Warfare 2 – 38%
Dragon Age: Origins – 54%
Assassin's Creed II – 69%
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 – 88%
Tony Hawk: Ride – 89%
Dante's Inferno – 100.4%

[ipwnall]

We're busy with Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, and R&C ACiT. Also, Glitch Warefare 2 doesn't hold a candle next to any of the 6 AAA games released for the PS3 this year. How many have Xbot's had? 1?

[Pirateogta]

The same exact amount, according to MetaCritic.

Xbox 360

Street Fighter IV (93)
Batman: Arkham Asylum (92)
Forza Motorsport 3 (92) *EXCLUSIVE*
Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony (91) *EXCLUSIVE*
FIFA Soccer 10 (91)
Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned (90) *EXCLUSIVE*

PS3

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (96) *EXCLUSIVE*
Street Fighter IV (94)
FIFA Soccer 10 (91)
Killzone 2 (91) *EXCLUSIVE*
Batman: Arkham Asylum (91)
MLB 09: The Show (90) *EXCLUSIVE*

And don't say anything about TLAD and TBoGT being expansions, because they have more gameplay content and higher presentation values than almost every game in this list.

[ipwnall]

No, they don't. They're expansion packs. Just because they take a previous game and mix the elements around, doesn't make it a game. Same thing about FO3 expansion packs. And Pirate, Demon's Souls, Infamous, R&C ACit, and the two halo's that came out this year should be on that list.

[nightelfmohawk]

If I decide to buy it, I'll get it used for cheap off craigslist.

Valkyria Chronicles
Killzone 2
RE5
Street Fighter 4
InFamous
Batman: AA
Demon's Souls
Uncharted 2
Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time
God of War III: Ultimate Edition
Fallout 3 GOTY Edition (for $39.99 from target)
God of War Collection
Dragon Age: Origins (superior version over 360)

etc.

I have enough games on my plate this year.

jpwnall.. you took the words out of my mouth!

[komp]

I guess were not too stupid, thats why.

Why have burgers when we have steak on the Menu.

[ipwnall]

Could not have said it better.

[LiquifiedArt]

We have the variety and high quality experiences. Why settle for another COD shooter? I'm on newgame+ in Demon's Souls and it was a great adventure!

I plan on buying Uncharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank. I just bought Borderlands and bought NGSII last month. I'm pretty set for my gaming.

[ravinash]

????

Is anyone else finding something wrong with the maths?

[Hideo_Kojima]

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

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

[Rock Bottom]

A major reason is also that PS3 owners wait for games, especially if they're overpriced.

[PinkUni]

its cause we're smarter
multiplayer with openworld, destruction, vehicles, and squad based teams

mw2 is for full of gimmicks instead of real gameplay changes that take alot of mathematical programming to do like vehicle physics and structural physics.

[Elaine Benes]

360 or PC. Mainly 360.
Nothing to get upset about.
But im sure some people will *cough*sony fanboys*cough*.

[leila01]

Wait till you see the numbers...

PS3's best selling game yet is Modern Warfare and from the looks of it Modern Warfare 2 is going to outsell it.

so, stop hating kid and respect other people's opinions.

[Elvfam511]

people calling other people kid on the internet

^off topic

On topic

Meh i got cod mw no need for MW2

[BiggCMan]

I can say a few reasons
1. Killzone 2
2. Uncharted 2
3. Ratchet and Clank (for some)
4. God of War collection
5. Demons Souls
6. Multiplatform titles better than MW2 like AC2, BC2, Tekken 6 etc...

[XxZxX]

have you look at the variety we have? we rather wait and see. Pre-order is stupid because it just commit us to that game. We have so much choice now, we don't know what to get. We don't rush it.

[divideby0]

bubble up KOMP for so elegantly stating the obvious, except to the author who is just clueless

yea, after Demons Souls, UC2, RnC.... and playing the MAG beta...
COD can wait...

[BigKev45]

What a stupid comment.

[pixelsword]

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

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

[chaosatom]

Dante's Inferno – 100.4%

LOL. Do they even check what they post.

[NicCageMYHero]

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

[Exias]

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

Edit: you beat me by a millisecond Nic

[Fel]

Read:

"I am comparing the number of PS3 preorders to the number of 360 preorders, as a percentage."

Therefore, 1004 PS3, 1000 Xbox.... 1004:1000 = 100.4%

/math and reading lesson

[BeachBar69]

Who cares i got my preorder, actually 3 preorders, so i help out a litlle lol.

[JsonHenry]

Why does anyone preorder any game? It is letting them have your money interest free for up to six months in some cases.

[cmrbe]

I said to be a GOW clone so i am sure most PS fans are looking forward to it. Despite what people say i think its a big compliment if a game is a GOW clone. I am definatley getting DI as well. If its half as good as GOW then its a first day buy. I am sure it will be a great game as its done by the same people that made Dead Space which is one of the most underrated game this gen in the same vein as Uncharted 1.

[Darkstorn]

I'm sure Modern Warfare 2 will be a great game, but I have no interest in it. I'm too busy replaying MGS4 and all the rest of the PS3's awesome exclusives. Uncharted 2 is amazing as well.

[AKNAA]

I will answer your question with a question....
Why don't PS3 owners like FPS as much as 360 owners?? answer that and you will get your answer.

[mikeslemonade]

The only game that will have supply issues is Modern Warfare 2. The other games don't have the hype.

[Feral Gamer]

Sorry, but as a PS3 owner, I'll be pre-ordering MW2, AC2, Bad Company 2, and Dante's Inferno. I just picked up Dragon Age and am about to try it out.

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

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

@1.23
PS3 owners like FPS just as much as 360 gamers. That's just a myth that the 360 is the FPS console. Look at all the hype around the Resistance and Killzone series.

[FACTUAL evidence]

I don't think pre-orders mean Sh!7...one reason why is that i never pre-order i just buy the game at launch. And i know plenty of others who does the same thing i do.

[sikbeta]

"Everyone is buying it for
360 or PC. Mainly 360.
Nothing to get upset about"

You are SO right, PC "gamers" are mainly shooter lovers and x360 owners don't have anything to play, at least you count ODST, but is SO short and overpriced for being THAT short or maybe F3, but this game is not a shooter and xbox owners don't like VARIETY, so is not make any sense at all

QUALITY > quantity

VARIETY > stuck genre

GAMERS > shooter/motion control lovers

PS3 > the "competition"

GAMERS FTW!!!

[ElementX]

I agree. It seems like the PS3 fanboys are so adamant towards their exclusives that they are missing out on some good gaming opportunities. I owned a 360, sold it, now I'm a strictly PS3 owners (aside from handhelds). I love the exclusives, you just can't get any better graphics than Uncharted 2 right now, but to say that multi-plats aren't worth your time is just foolishness.

[SL1M DADDY]

360 folks having nothing else to play... I for one am picking it up for the PS3 and PC. No sense in paying to play that game online when you can play it online for free on the PS3 and PC.

[prunchess]

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

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

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

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

Might....

[getonmylev3l]

simple. Uncharted 2 just came out.

[Christopher]

Couldn't this mean that 360 gamers like MW2 above all others? Percentages don't show the truth.

[kws1065]

Simply, 360 users don't want to waste their money for Live Gold. I pretty much sure that most 360 users have already bought Live Gold for at least 1 year to play ODST or whatever.

And now what...They have to play online to keep up with what they have payed for. Result? Buying MW2 or whatever they can play on online for fun, but it's not Forza3 and that's all.

[kws1065]

Does MS try to play MW2 as if it is 360-exclusive? I remember that there are some bundle and limited edition of MW2 for 360.

[ABizzel1]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Genesis5]

Bobby Kotick and his big mouth come to mind.

[davekaos]

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

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

Simple

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

Edit

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

[Saaking]

When you have the best exclusives you don't have to settle for lousy multiplats.

[Ravage27]

it shows that unlike the 360 crowd, we have taste and will not buy merely because of (undeserved)hype. Face it, quality FPS are a dime a dozen, and mw2 has nero-zero outstanding qualities minus away the hype machine.

[WonderboyIII]

Guys,

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

[DaTruth]

Even the last time around I was playing Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted:DF and Lair. Considering what Warhawk online has to offer, running around shooting just seemed a little bland!

[XxZxX]

hey WonderboyIII, having a fight with your friend over XBOX 360's bayo didnt do well in Japan is really hardcore fanboyish. So when you mention fanboys, you are talking about yourself right.

Dude even though I love PS3, I haven't got a fight with my xbox 360 friends at all. We jokingly trading punches but never get into a fight or a heated arguments over this man. So you tell me, who is the real fanboy.

[ia_studio]

FPS for pc in my case, since it wont have dedicated servers why to bother.

I dig variety there's way too many FPS.

[Ownejj]

haha u cant hav playstation "gamers"

[BWS1982]

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

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

[WonderboyIII]

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

[nordberg]

Probably 250 preorders for the PS3 and 1 xbox fans do not want this game. In fact, he really don't want it, so he pay 60$ to not have it to EA.

-250 preorders for Ps3
- -1 preorders for xbox
249 total sales

100.4% for the PS3, that's an amazing number! Why not posting 'Don't XBOX360 Gamers Like Dante’s Inferno' instead????

[Hoggy1983]

Amusing that alot of those agreeing with those stating "us PS3 gamers aren't buying MW2 becasue we're not stupid" cannot understand simple maths.

[BWS1982]

it's odd that you cannot understand simple English: "maths" is not a word. I agree with the concept purported, that 100.4 % is attainable in statistical breakdowns, though, so whatever, like I said, no disrespect meant, but you kinda nullified your own intelligence-based argument (though I'll admit English may be your second language). Can't you admit that Kotick is a Sony-hating A-hole, though, he did kind of ask for it, if that does happen to be the reason, know what I mean? He's a flat out jerk.

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

[seedaripper1973]

@ BWS1982

Over here in the UK (you know, where the english language derives from), we abbreviate mathematics, to 'maths' and not how the americans bastardise (see no Z's)
our language, as in 'math'.Hope this clears it up for you old chap!

Ta ta for now ;)

[ID IR A G 0 N]

every game that comes out on the ps3 doesnt sell as well as it should and all the ps3 idiots do is come in here and put spin on why they dont play games. it took uncharted practically a month to get 1 mil in sales... not very good considering the quality of the game and all the talk you morons do. killzone flopped, mag is garbage, so what do you have that 360 doesnt? a bunch of half assed exclusives that no one buys. there are like 3 or 4 awesome games on the ps3 and after that just a bunch of fluff that fanboys brag about but dont play. at least the 360 community plays the games that come out. ps3 fanboys wonder why companies give them less support.

you can wait for mag it you want, but have fun playing with a pretty barren community, cause the game sucks bad. a lot of hype for nothing, but hey its a ps3 game, so i expect the overhype

[flankhim]

Everybody knows the ps3 cant handle great shooters like the 360 can.

[Xgamerzus]

MOW2 get it on PC, beat it next Please!!
Bottom line it's old tech , sorry but xbox360 ports are and old low def engines have no place on a Console that can do true 1080p , Also it is a PC game and 360 owners know that their beloved 360 is a dated low def budget PC and all it will ever get are PC games.SO they cling to every PC game out there..
Sadly.

[The END]

could be the dumbest thing i have heard this week... congrats on that achievement..

[BWS1982]

I know I'm not stupid (as Hoggy likes to PM about), uninitiated about EVERY single characteristic of "British English" perhaps, but definitely not stupid. Trust me, I'm more educated on it than many of my fellow Americans, and I am man enough to admit a wrong, so I guess I stand corrected. Doesn't mean anything to me that I'm not perfect, I knew that, no eye-opening revelation there. Exposure is different from intelligence, and anyone here who truly is intelligent will know that.

Provided there was no sarcasm hidden in your post, I commend you for your courtesy. We can only be aware of what we've experienced and learned from.

[BWS1982]

yes, I'm fully briefed on how you over the pond use an "s" in place of a "z" in many words. I could list literally hundreds of differences I've noticed in writings, literature, and slang, but this "abbreviation" slipped by. I've never been to Europe, let alone England, and conversely, I'm betting you over there couldn't pick out every nuance in our "bastardized" language. I'm sure it's a forgivable transgression.

[NateNater]

Ahh here we go again. PS3 gamers have a vast amount of games to play at the moment. Sure, we like our MW2 but theres just a bunch of other games out there to play right now too.

Like right now I'm too busy with Tekken 6, Uncharted 2, and Ratchet & Clank:ACIT. I'm also looking into Demons Souls and a few other games. So for me, MW2 can on hold on for a while. Plus, I need more monies :P

I guess most 360 owners just need to play MW2 right away because they don't have as many games to play right now???

[StanLee]

Here's the problem with that argument; PS3 gamers don't even buy many of the exclusives so it's not just multiplatform games. Even the exclusive titles underwhelm at retail.

[frostypants]

Both platforms have almost identical time-adjusted attach rates. The PS3 base just distributes more across titles.

[Redempteur]

Am i the only one who think that the lack of support for the first modern warfare is turning off many people on PS3..not to mention the price or the other exclusive for the platform

[sikbeta]

StanLee stop searching on Vgchartz lol

[frostypants]

I love it when people disagree with cold facts...

[SprSynJn]

I was not one who disagreed with you, but stating your opinion as a "cold hard fact" doesn't make you look any more knowledgable.

And to answer the question put forth by the article, no I do not. The Call of Duty franchise, from what I have played of both 4 & 5, is a mediocre franchise at best. So many better shooting games out there right now and, with Bad Company 2 coming and Borderlands on the way, I have lost all interest in the series. Not to add insult to injury, but World at War was a joke.

[mastiffchild]

Stan-you aren't half searching there fella. The thing with this persentage is that it ISN'T far below that of what you'd think it should be, is it?

These are US figures and with there being, arguably, just over or just under twice as many 360 gamers in the US we can expect an share of 45% to 55% if just as many PS3 owners per hungred get the game preordered as 360 gamers, no??

And this says, what, near 40%? When, and whatever you say Stan a lot of PS3 owners will be getting or have got one or two of DS,R&C, U2 AND some of the multis available too, reasonable? 360 gamers DO have a tendency to be FPS fans because, partly, so many are Halo fans and also there's just been fewer games for that shooter demographic and 360 in general of late than PS3 has had this year and of late. I know for a fact I haven't bought a lot for my 360 this year compared to my PS3.

Then we're back to this being a VERY small way off what we could expect IFMW2 was as popular among PS3 owners in any case and as FPS isn't the priority for as many PS3 gamers in the first place I just don't see ANY kind of surprise or story in the numbers here. It can't be overstated how much better shooters ssell on 360-it's a demographic thing and that's that. The other things merely add to it a touch.

[BWS1982]

IMO, and it explains everything considering, as he said, the attach rates...sheesh, there may be many gamers who have only so much money to spend, and with like half a dozen exclusives this year that were easily must buys, it makes sense, how else would you explain the nearly identical attach rates when calculating the time each console has spent on the market? You can't, that's how. Variety.

[Xgamerzus]

OMG Stan LEE in the HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The END]

so 360 people have to play this game right now but PS3 people have ALL sorts of games right now... but 98% of this site is PS3 users and most of all of the inputs are from ps3 fanboys... so...... if you think about it... none of the ps3 people are playing ALL those games you speak of but only 2% comments on this site come from xbox users SO it would be safe to assume that the XBOX360 USERS are the ones that are really playing ALL the games and the ps3 users are SITTING ON THIS SITE COMMENTING ON CRAP.... thank you ver much

ps3 fanboys start clicking disagree button in 3....2.....1.... NOW... i wont be around to check though since I will actually be using my xbox instead of watching a movie on it...

[Nitrowolf2]

well the only explaination i could think of are all those exclusive that just came out. Now im not saying everyone doesn'y have money, but i mean im sure allot of people went ahead and bought other games. Theer are just 2 many games to get from, i mean last month alone sony released like 3 exclusive game? or 4? and then this month is GOW collection, and 2 big Multiplat games. I'm personally out of money after buying R&C, DS, Unchareted 2, an NGS2. I do have money only left for the GOW collection.
Compare to th 360 though, they only have a few Exclusive, most of them are swarming over to CODMW2.

[The END]

they could be swarming over to it because it is going to be a GREAT game... you are a fool... most likely more 360 due to XBL vs PSN...

[NotoriousWarrior]

yea, no one can deny the fact that the exclusives of PS3 is one of the reasons that PS3 owners won't buy MW2. either they only have time to play games like Uncharted 2, Ratchet & Clank:ACIT, Demons Souls etc or because they have no disposable income left to buy more games.

Im buying it and i know it will be great only cos i love the gameplay and kinda feel ripped off cos its not that big of an improvement on MW which the devs make it out to be by saying we started from scratch.

anyways the game will be same on both consoles, i don't care about those features that XBL has over PSN.

[gdguide]

360 gamers need a game like that to fill their time a bit more than PS3 owners who are still playing Uncharted 2 IMO.

[Condemnedman]

I finished uncharted 2 in no time I enjoyed it but have no desire to play it again. what's all this crap 360 has no games ???? man, people and their made up own facts never seem to amaze me !!!!!!!

[3rik]

Its because, compared to the PS3, the 360 doesn't have many new/upcoming games right now

[reintype]

And I for one have no plans on buying the game new or used.

[evilmonkey501]

where your going there....some of us do that, some of us dont. If I could get my pc to work w/ my ds3, i just might do that too...lol...I already paid for my ps3 version.

[yoghurt]

I think it is purely based on the fact that PS3 owners have more games to play, that are not multiplat.

This year already we have had some great exclusives, Killzone 2, Infamous, U2 and more - it just means that some multiplats get pushed aside a bit

I'll be buying MW2, but it won't be my sole focus as I have Uncharted 2, still have KZ2 multiplayer and am in the MAG beta

[Relientk77]

Um, I am a PS3 gamer and I am getting Modern Warfare 2

Theres so many games to get/play right now, its ridiclous

Ratchet and Clank Future 2
Uncharted 2
Demon's Souls
Dragon Age: Origins
Borderlands
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

its ridiclous

I think everyones poor lol

[Godmars290]

Honestly and frankly I think its because PS3 owners are doing exactly what 360 fanboys want them to do: not buying multiplatform titles because their best version is on the 360.

Something I'm sure the devs and publishers of those games want, even though they only put half of an effort into them.

[Ju]

BS. I'm not getting it because Kotik p!ssed me off. And, well, I might reconsider, but I am so broke, I can't even get Demon Souls right now. A lot has to happen to convince me to spend my cash on a greedy Activision with so much competition out there.

[MrCrabPuss]

Honestly and frankly, I highly doubt xbox fanboys give a damn what ps3 gamers do. Get over yourselves.

[Godmars290]

Meh, I'm about to go broke because Amazon's giving an excuse to get Demon Souls when I just ordered Ratchet and Clank.

What's surprising me it that Tony Hawk's ride has more pre-orders.

Edit:
"I highly doubt xbox fanboys give a damn what ps3 gamers do. Get over yourselves."

Yeah, that's why we have to deal with Bayonetta being called crap with a 38/40 Famistu review. Several articles.

[raztad]

Still MW2 PS3 preorders are racking up about 700K preordes, it's clearly a bestseller on the PS3, the "problem" is the xbox360 version is almost 3 times. This only shows how big is the FPS genre among the xbox360 fanbase.

[MrCrabPuss]

"thats why we have to deal with..." "DEAL WITH?!?" Why do you even care? Does it really affect your life if some reviewer doesnt measure up to your expectations? Bottom line is that YOU either enjoy the game or YOU dont. Who gives a sh!t what the other console scores on the same game. Why should it matter? Each version will have its own merits and problems.

Man, you ps3 kids take EVERY little thing as a personal slap in the face...

"bu bu bu but its just not fair, if Biwwy gets a sackboy from santa, then I WANT A SACKBOY FROM SANTA!!! Like I said, get over yourselves and enjoy what you get, it really isnt that bad. Fvcking retard.

[beavis4play]

i don't think the COD series is anything special. i rented COD4 and was unimpressed. maybe if i was a hardcore into MP; i might see things differently. as it stands, MW2 looks like another FPS and nothing more.

i won't be buying because FOR ME, the game isn't worth it.

[DaTruth]

You are clearly a 360 fanboy in an article about what PS3 owners are doing. If you're not, go look at the previous comments and many PS3 articles invaded by 360 fanboys, there are a few. Need I say more???

Talk about brain on drugs!

[ifhd]

Uncharted 2

[BigKev45]

What does Uncharted have to do with MW 2?

[cranium]

People would rather buy UC2 than MW2 maybe?

[evrfighter]

How many of 25 million ps3 owners bought UC2?

almost 2 mil?

what are the rest of the 20something million doing?

[cranium]

By the looks of things not buying MW2.

[DaTruth]

You will be owned when MW2 PS3 doubles Uncharted 2 sales in half the time. It's not right, but it's true!

[Delta]

I'm getting it. along with Dragon Age and Assassins Creed 2

[NicCageMYHero]

...Does Delta have disagrees because people don't believe he's buying AC2 and DA:O?

[Eamon]

IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!

[NotSoSilentBob]

I've got better games to play then a rehashed COD4 MW. To many exclusives not enough time. Being laid off has hurt my financial situation but I'm about 2 games from having no backlog after 4 years of 10+ games waiting to start much less finish.

[XxDeathDoctorxX]

im gettin it for my ps3 but one reason my friends dont wanna buy mw2 is because iw never shows the ps3 gameplay and always show more support to the xbox360 alot of my friends want the next battlefield

[TheEvilDebo2U]

first off, whats up Doc!?! It's Debo. Debo2u. peace dude. I miss my PS3. *sad face time*
I'm out in the world stacking my chips. Oh, and thanks for asking your dude to request me on xbox. with a ps3 broke(yllod), I'm glad I had a xbox too. And thank GOD for gay Tony. *serious face*
anyway on topic, 'It's PS3 all day!! Fu*k I.W.! they show us no love on or with COD4.

[Counter_ACT]

Oh, those numbers look reliable.

Dante's Inferno – 100.4%

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

It's a comparison to the number of pre-orders of the 360 versions... Over 100% means there are more pre -orders of the PS3 version.

If 360 has 10 and PS3 has 5 it's a 50%. If 360 has 10 and PS3 has 11 it's 110%.

Not the most clear statistics, but justified for being such comparison.

[Motion]

I took it as percentage of total preorders.

[Eamon]

IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAND

[DaTruth]

As an intelligence quotient, over 9000 is a freakin' lot!

[Rowsdower]

of ps3 owners didnt come out for Uncharted 2 what makes one think they'll come out for cod mw2?

not saying uncharted 2 didnt sell well (it was a day one purchase for me), and it is my goty, but numbers dont lie

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Didn't we have seen this argument a million times already? PS3 owne(s (as general PS base for the history) are diversified and don't mass buy any game. Even its most sold franchise (GT) did't ever sold to 50% of the user base. So get over it, while some were playing Uncharted others have skiped it to play casual games like EyePet or sports like Pro Evo, not every PS3 owner like narrative heavy hardcore platforming shooter.

[Rowsdower]

eyepet has no been released yet, at least not in north america.

i get what your saying, but I also get what I'm saying, know what I'm saying?

[The END]

I am glad you can speak for EVERYONE and have this whole gaming industry all figured out... it is because due to the fact that 35% of ps3 owners use is 90% of the time for bluray movies... since i made a statement i guess i have it all figured at as well... some idiots just really bother me with stupidity...

SERIOUSLY... EYEPET.... what a shame... i am jealous...

[xg-ei8ht]

I guess you'll be very happy then that COD MW2 is better looking on the PS3.

Enjoy.

[Godmars290]

Not a fan of FPS.

Platformers, JRPGs and arcade shooters. That's it.

Actually, would like to see some mech/sci-fi JRPGs, but the industry is only putting out loli fantasy.

[NicCageMYHero]

You must be pumped about FFXIII.

[CYBERSNAKE]

I'm just fed up with FPS, BRING ON ASSASSIN'S CREED 2!

[koehler83]

Are we not allowed to have different tastes?

[Godmars290]

No. We have to get the most hyped titles because that's what they want us to buy.

[Soldierone]

Activision has their hands in MS wallets, so MS returns the favor with xbox and COD specials. More Xbox players like FPS and nothing else. Lastly PS3 also just had two AAA exclusives released, one of which is a shooter, and two shooters early next year so they have a better selection. So of course they want to try something new.

[unrealgamer58]

killzone 2 nuff said

[StanLee]

Please, no one is playing Killzone 2. No one was playing Killzone 2 2 months after release. You couldn't get a game without setting your search settings to worldwide. The game had no community.

[cranium]

I'm going to have to disagree with you. KZ2 and LBP are the 2 most played titles on my friends list.

[LiquifiedArt]

Killzone 2 is still played very often. You must of had some issue. Do a normal "By Region" search making sure you select "Ranked" game.

There aren't many Non-Ranked games. :)

[peeps]

i'm getting it but with so many games out on the ps3 atm i can see why a lot of ppl won't bother straight away.

+ fps are always way more popular on 360 it seems. theres a bit more variety with the ps3's games library

[TheBand1t]

I know I'm not interested in MW2.

BF:BC2 and MAG will last me a long time for FPS when they come out. Until then I need some more action games and RPGs

[Typical-Guy]

I think many PS3 owners want this game , but not me I've had enough with shooters any way.

[Dellis]

PS3 GAMERS= WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

MORE GAMES IN 2009 THEN 360

so their is no need to focus on MW2, if you look at 360 that is all

they got to end 2009.

[Whoooop]

The only reason I pre-order a game is because I don't want any trouble at getting my copy day one when I want to get it day one.

I have a Gamestop VERY close to where I live so that's why I also pre-order.

Aside from that, there's not really much reason to pre-order when you have close retail stores or unless there's a good incentive for you to pre-order like free DLC, etc.

[pcflynn89]

I think you're wrong. It's nice to preorder from amazon to get release day delivery for free. Why go to a store when it can come to you for free and not taxed?

[Whoooop]

Do you think everybody lives in the US?

[dkgshiz]

CODMW2 just looks like shovelware to me. It looks like they just tried to put sprinkles on COD4 and just release it as CODMW2.

[TukkerIntensity]

COD games are garbage.

[leila01]

Let me guess... you only play exclusives right? PS3 exclusives?

[TukkerIntensity]

I just don't like COD games. They are generic military shooters - they can't decide if they are arcady or realistic - they are kind of in the middle and won't pick a side. I like my military shooters to lean more towards realistic (GRAW, SOCOM, America's Army etc.). I don't like grenades dropping out of peoples bums when they die, dogs attacking me, spawninig into air strikes, seeing +46 etc. over peoples heads when I shoot them, regenerating health etc.). And I own a 360 as well - just in case you wanted to know (and have owned it longer then I have owned my PS3).

[djfullshred]

I have to agree, but I won't go so far as saying these games are garbage. But I will add that I thought COD4 MW was a real let down for me after all the great reviews. I think it really had to do with my expecations of a realistic FPS, only to discover all those arcadey aspects of the game instead. Just felt like meh to me compared to FPS games of the past that I really enjoyed.

[TukkerIntensity]

Garbage was harsh lol but really I have other games I'd rather play. I'm going to get MW2 because a lot of my friends will be playing it - and despite it being a game that I'm not interested in - friends always make gaming more fun.

[tbon3man]

there is no big deal there will be many copies of MW2 on all store shevles, you can just walk in without pre ordering it.

[silvacrest]

retailers must no this is the big multiplat seller of the year, as if there gonna lose customers because there short on stock

[Obama]

I am buying Demons souls first. We ps3 owners have too many games to choose from.

[BigKev45]

Obama doesn't like video games. How could you? lol.

[FwanK]

Because Bad Company 2 rapes MW2

[peeps]

so buy mw2 and play that until bfbc2 releases in like 4-5 months time

[Naar]

I'm PS3 owner and i don't like FPS game what's your point ? why we Don't see something like
Xbox Owner don't like Soccer game ? or Xbox Owner don't like JRPG Game ?

[frjoethesecond]

I'll be pirating on pc for boycott. Not interesred in mp. KZ2 ftw!!

[monkey602]

I wont be getting it. Limited funds and I really want Borderlands, also considering importing Demon's Souls.

Plenty of people on my friends list looking forward to MW2. Most of whom never pre-order any game (I dont either)

[Doletskaya]

probably because PS3 owners are more mature than 360 owners and want to play some shooters that take skills instead of just your reflexes.I am sure that after you play U2 and KZ2 multiplayer,you will see how causel MW2 is as a FPS.

[MrCrabPuss]

If ps3 gamers are "more mature" as you put it, then why do most of them have red-faced snotty nosed tantrums over .5 differences in review scores or make up petitions or protests or boycotts, or take any opportunity to slam the other guy? Sure xbox losers do the same but not in such a grand scale as ps3 kids do. Why cant the ps3 kids just enjoy their own positive experiences? Because children are never happy or complacent with what they have.

Why haven't the xbox crowd been labeled as 'whining babies' or the "SDF" by so many media groups as the ps3 crowd has been? Twat.

[redsquad]

Why is someone with the name "fanboysSuk" only calling out one side as extremists? Very selective...

[Condemnedman]

lol your kidding? after some of the comments on here , you crack me up
don't use your made up facts as proof of what real people do, there are kids on ps3 as well visit home and see what the idiot's on there say/write, where I worked there are over 15 workmates over 20 who own a xbox 360 some of us have ps3's as well ;} it's ok you can like more than one console.
I do agree with some of the pointless articles on n4g though on both sides

[randomwiz]

http://n4g.com/ps3/News-387...

Of course there are kids, this is just an average age. To tell you the turth, I've never come across a kid that talks on psn. I've only come across people who sounded like they were 15+, with deeper voices. Especially when you get on the MAG beta, you dont hear any kids.

I mean, 10 year olds on xbl aren't common, but they're there, and you encounter them maybe 1-5 times a week.\

(this is coming from my experiences, and the times I play. I usually play around 9pm-10. Maybe its bedtime for the kids?)

[artgamer]

I'm just surprised that after Killzone 2 a developer still had the audacity to make a FPS without Killzone 2's cover system.

Its retarded to stand next to a crate and press the crouch button IMO.

[peeps]

erm i'm pretty sure u still had to crouch next to a low object in killzone... but when you did so then you would hug up against it.

[Dutch Boogie]

Nar ps3 gamers have better things to spend their money on. We have become accustomed to AAA bar raising games and rightfully so, cheap rehashed games won't cut it anymore.

We expect the best and we are less gullible than our 360 counterparts. But hey, if people love spending money on half baked games then i say go on right ahead. I can't even remember the last multiplat game i purchased, and that's the sad truth.

[Fishy Fingers]

Yes, no, maybe, who knows I can only speak for myself.

Either way, I doubt you'll have trouble finding a full game online whatever platform you choice, so who cares.

[Knightofelemia]

I'm not getting MW2 for my Ps3 simple fact Activision over pricing the game and the other fact they threatened to pull from the PS3 if Sony did not lower the price of the console. Besides time for a breakaway from FPS games i think I will finish up Uncharted 2 and start working on Ratchet and Clank

[HDgamer]

Buying this but will be switching from this to killzone 2 online back and forth.

[SLLCKGT]

As someone who has played playstation since 1995, you always wanna upgrade never downgrade. Thats why its hard for me to get excited about a multiplatform game, knowing its not up to its full potential thanks to the 360. Thats not fanboyism, thats the truth. Its about moving forward, and this game doesn't do that. Im looking forward to MAG, and anyone whos in the beta will tell you how sick it is. Right now im playing 96 vs. 96. Im sure the 15-18 yr old demographic are wetting their pants for this, but PS3 owners will pass.

[PirateThom]

Activision boycott
Never liked the series.

[cmrbe]

That is one of the reason why i am not buying it. As a gamer its the only way i could protest what i see is not right. I never really liked COD4 anyways. Bought it and then gave it away. Its a noob fest.

[itchy18]

i'm more interested in BC2 than MW2.

[m-s-8-2]

It's one of those games I just cant bring myself to give a dern about. FPS' aren't my favorite, and it's not like there's anything about the game that grabs my attention and makes me feel the need to buy it.

The graphics in KillZone 2 attracted the graphics-whore in me, I'll admit. If it hadn't been for that, I would not have bought that one either. At least it was a solid game where it mattered, so I ended up getting quite a bit of fun out of it. Enough to not make me regret the purchase.

[ZBlacktt]

A PS3 is a highly intelligent person that could afford the console even before the price drop. We understand it's advanced technology in blu-ray and all it's added feature's for free. We've been gamers for a long time as Sony PS's have been around some 16 years. The only thing a PS3 player will get hyped over is a PS3 exclusive. Why? Because those games seem to be GOTY quality that cannot be found on any other system to date.

The system that this game is selling well on is that guy who just had enough to get a game system. That or who's parents stepped in and bought it for his birthday. They've known about it's reliability issues ever since the day it was released to the public. Yet, they still stay with it replacing console after console. So cheap wins in the greater population from 2005 to 2008. Now that the prices are the same. We see smarter players stepping up to buy the more advanced console.

Next the game's Adolf Hitler behind the scenes, Robert Kotick. The PS3 owners listen to what this clown say's about the consumers. They know how to say, ok well FU then. Meanwhile the other console owners just give in. Much like the way they put up with they're consoles breaking down 2 times a year. Just much lower standards between the two consoles owners here. Higher class and well, middle class. A PS3 owner will buy this game used and give the profits to the reseller. Plus, it is hard to fit in another game now due to all the higher quality PS3 exclusive out now. Then we have Jan to Mar just loaded with AAA games. This COD is just another game to us, not a drooling lifestyle of no life that the middle class seem to have over it. That is all.....

[Barragan]

i will play this game more than any ps3 game i have, stop fooling yourself ps3 fans

[ZBlacktt]

Did I not say the PS3 people will buy this game? Or did you miss that? Perhaps you missed the point? Even some PS3er's like simple basic online first person shooters. Wasn't the point though.

[cyborg6971]

I'm buying it cause all of my friends are and I haven't played with them in awhile. I still like killzone 2 better.

[Myzer]

Not interested in more COD Copy/Paste.

Too busy playing good games.

[Noob]

MW's gameplay it too much of an arcade shooter for me. I'll still get MW2 but after BC2. Can't forget the exclusives that are on PS3 right now either. I think they could of had something to do with the MW2 preorders.

[Barragan]

and im buying modern warfare 2 cause the simple fact it will be better than any ps3 game, im not dumb enough to say it looks the same or is the same as cod 4 cause those are clearly not facts, im getting it day 1

[HDgamer]

a multiplatform will never look better than a ps3 exclusive. Sorry.

[leila01]

Haze VS Assassin's Creed 2 which one looks better?

[HDgamer]

Haze was at first a multiplatform, free radical pretty much messed themselves up. Disagreeing won't make your delusions true. I haven't seen MGS4, WipeoutHD, killzone 2, Uncharted 1 and 2, Heavenly Sword hell even resistance graphics on the 360 games. All these multiplats you keep trying to call "exclusives" are played on different consoles. I'm sorry that thats just more delusions for you.

[Rio-Hustla-Inc]

don't believe those numbers are accurate. I work for a Major Video Game Retailer and the numbers on our reports are far much closer than these numbers. VGCHARTZ are 360 bias......... So they be pulling numbers out of their A$$ alot of times....

[PStu'rd]

Nah, they just know its gonna be inferior garbage and have already bought the superior 360 version.

[cmrbe]

paying to play this game on-line is my definition of inferior. Worst still your x360 could scratch your game or die on you. You must be living in bazzario world my son.

[cmrbe]

PS fans are more into 3rd person action games like AC, DI,GOW,U2,DMC etc etc. Thats why you see these type of games sell better on the PS. For the x360 userbase, you just need to include guns and your game will sell.

PS fans like variety in their life. No PS game will ever sell to 30% of the PS userbase because of this.

[Michael Scott]

Grow up dude. What's the point in being a fanboy?

[HDgamer]

How am I being a fanboy by saying there are just too many exclusives out to actually choose for the ps3 while the 360 doesn't have many exclusives because of the delays?

[Tex117]

Never was an FPS kinda guy.

[GeoramA]

Generic military shooter to sell better on 360?

Shocker!

[ActionBastard]

I'm getting it. Why the hell wouldn't I? Get to play it free online and will only cost me $20 (my brother works for Activision) :P

[IronAva]

I own all three systems and I will always find time to play a new game no matter what. I have all the new titles for PS3 and I will be picking up MW2 for 360 day one. As a father, husband, full time worker (40 hrs), full time college student (16 credit hours at the moment), one would think I would not find time to play. Well my friends theres 24 hours in a day; I can always fit in 30 min to an hour of gaming in my life a night during weakdays and unlimited on weekends.
In my opinion there can never be too many games to play. Bring on the games wooo hooo!!!

[DonCorneo]

xbots are done with ODLC's 3 hour campaign

xbots felt cheated and quickly traded OCLD in after 1 week. there are no 3fixme games aside from flopza, which the xbots do not like. so xbots use the store credit to pre-order mw1.5 instead.

that's the explaination.

[Silent]

I WILL get it on Christmas :) it should be like 40 bucks by then :)

[peeps]

are you sure? i mean here in the uk a copy of COD4 new (a 2 year old game) is still full price (mayb £5-10 cheaper if you look hard enough)

[macka]

- as a ps3 owner

and i started to play cod4 again in wake of mw2, and i suddenly realised i dont think i could play COD online for possibly any longer. Ive completely worn it out, and looking at the mp footage of mw2 it looks the same with more features. Im sure these would keep me entertained for a while but im also sure id get bored alot quicker than i did with the original.
I cant justify paying the increased asking price, especially when im more interested picking up AC2 and Demons souls. I also have UC2 it keep me entertained online.

But having said that i will probably pick it up in 6 months or so when the price has dropped.

[Consoldtobots]

thank you, I know Im not the only one that found Modern-Warfare boring after just two months of playing it. run and gun is soooooo last gen.

[redsquad]

Killzone 2 filled my FPS gaming boots quite nicely on release and continues to do so. I simply have no compulsion to get MW2 for quite some time (probably get a used copy when I do)

[DecoyOctopus]

uncharted 2 & ratchet n clank & other awesome exclusives coming up.. and just look at Battlefield bad company 2 it looks 50 times better than mw2 and the first bad company was better than cod4

[Brewster-Rooster]

I think uncharted 2 is the reason, its the game all ps3 owners want, and it is only a recent release, so they aren't so keen to get a blockbuster so soon after. whereas 360 owners, dare i say, haven't quite had a top quality blockbuster game in a while :S

I amn't trying to troll or anything, i think that is genuinely the reason, sorry

[divideby0]

I have not purchased a game for my 360 since GOW2....and if MW is the same on both of my systems, after I play Demons Souls, UC2, RnC and MAG beta, than I might buy COD for the PS3

[Unicron]

Don't gamers get to choose what they want to play without a stupid article whining about it?

Face it, PS3 owners are caught in a deluge of titles compared to the 360's weak lineup this year.

[HDgamer]

People seem to miss that fact. Apparently the article is saying all ps3 exclusives aren't good enough for a multiplatform that IW will most likely not support with DLC.

[Typical-Guy]

I really want to know why MS and their fans take MW2 as an EXCLUSIVE seriously they are making them to feel it's theirs. It's a multiplat game.

[ExposingLames]

how many times do we have to say SCREW activision...im not getting this game or anything in the ran into the ground FPS genre ever again....same stuff different day ugh its old

and im surely not getting anything with activision on it, ill stay rocking my Demon's Souls for now and pray that SOCOM gets the treatment it deserves and not a worthless developer like slant six

[Typical-Guy]

If you try MAG you'll be thankful that Zipper left SOCOM to slan six . believe me it's amazing.

[MetalGearBear]

PS3 owners r busy with new games.

[maniacf40]

considering in every "Top 360 games" articles you 360 retards like to claim call of duty as one of your own. *cough* exclusive *cough*

[Raoh]

I've said it before i'll say it again.

different gamers on each console. Even the multi console owners.

want a wide variety of shooters? get a 360. my friends have been playing modern warfare, world at war and recently borderlands non stop and are excited for modern warfare 2.. (not many but some also playing osdt)

my ps3 friends? they can't put demon's souls down. running out to get dragon age origins and trying to make more money in uncharted 2. (not very many of my friends into ratchet and clank)

i'm not even that excited for modern warfare 2, i'm online shooter fatigued..

i just don't have the will to play, cod4, cod5, left 4 dead, mag beta, uncharted online, borderlands, killzone 2

with all those games, its hard to get excited for another shooter..

[zerocrossing]

isnt modern warfare 1 and 2 just another overly hyped FPS games? i cant realy bad mouth it since i dont own eather one, also have no intention given the fact weve all been given the midle finger by the developers, anyway Demons Souls is keeping me buisy im currently enjoying my second play through =)

[Roper316]

since September I have bought or preordered already

Wet
UC2
Demon Souls
Borderlands
AC 2
GOW collection
Dragon Age Origins
Alpha Protocol ( before the delay )
Saboteur

Then after the holidays I will be preordering

Bioshock 2
GOW 3
SO4 Int'l ( couldn't finish the game on my 360 when I had to keep swapping discs to back track to get missed treasure chests )
FF XIII
WKC
GT-5
Heavy Rain

And there is more, but my question is...So when am I supposed to find the time to play a rehashed FPS by an over rated under achieving developer that is being published by a company I loathe?

[badkolo]

of coarse they dont like mw2, it is also on the 360, this is n4g, you should know better.

any game that also appears on the 360 sucks.

[leila01]

Yeah, you sum it up pretty well. Fortunately enough things like these only happen on N4G and the real world doesn't care about this site.
Just look at retail numbers of any game, that should tell you something.

[Consoldtobots]

translation:

360 fanboys like the two above want to continue their usual gloating over sales to Ps3 owners and are annoyed by the fact that they couldn't care less about a rehashed sequel.

get over yourselves.

[john lemmon]

PS3's Dualshock SUCKS for FPS.

is cheaply made

[bjornbear]

And its fine for me, and I'm pretty good at BF1943, KZ2 and MW =) guess it depends on TASTE.

[john lemmon]

wow

[IncredibleGames]

modern warfare 2 should of just been an exclusive to the xbox 360 then since it seems ps3 owners just don't care for the game. I mean. i'm not sounding like a fanboy but read through the comments teh general consensus with ps3 owners is that they dont' care becuase they have other games they would rather spend money on.

i mean..its the truth it seems

[Consoldtobots]

useless observation

the moneywhores at activision would publish this on cellphones if they could.

[john lemmon]

Actually, Dualshock 3 suck for FPS, period.

[evilmonkey501]

I PREFER the ds3 to any other controller, for fps and every other genre. However, I do use those triggers you can install. Best of both worlds.(and an actually functional d pad to boot)

http://www.killzoneunit.com...

[menoyou]

We have way better things to play than a rehash published by Satan.

[john lemmon]

PS3's Dualshock SUCKS for FPS games

[Iceman X]

Why get CoD when you got Killzone 2 and in 2 months MAG? Why settle for 8v8 online when you can have 16v16 and 128v128 with NO LAG. And more features, like custom soundtrack and job classes etc. CoD is a good game but only a rental for me. I have better FPS games atm. Killzone 2, Resistance 2, and MAG. Not to mention CoD is on the exact same engine as the old CoD, which is a serious problem seeing how many cheaters and hackers are there. Flying and shooting out walls ect. They NEVER fixed these problems what makes you think they will fix it on the new game.

[LukaX23]

This moron can't do math.

[Anorexorcist]

The answer to the smaller preorders from the PS3 base is that PS3 owners have more than a single entree on their menu. The amount of Xbox 360 new releases can tangibly all be held together in one hand, so this holiday season 360-only owners only have one prominant new releases to look forward to: COD MW2.

The PS3 clearly has a more segmented software market this year, which means (for those of you that still don't know how to breath through your noses) that the amount of consumer attention and revenue are going to be spread further across different prominant titles for the PS3.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 also looks to be just as good if not better than MW2, so most PS3 owners are just going to snatch up some PS3 exclusives this holiday season and just wait for that.

[evilmonkey501]

And entirely accurate.

[JonnyBigBoss]

I do... and I have it pre-ordered.

[Henry Cain]

Well for one the Battlefield 2 looks way better than MW2. I haven't played either but MW2 looks like the same game with extra perks. It looks like they didn't even try to enhance anything. Battlefield 2 on the other hand looks like they pushing it to the max when it come to making a game feel like your in a real war.

[spektical]

agreed bfbc2 will be the 2nd most important game to show how sequel should be done and im talkin about Oct. 8 onward. The first to do it was U2 and i would bet my money that BFBC2 will deliver a massive upgrade from the first (not saying it'll be good as U2, but im saying Dice will completely renovate every aspect of the game)

[xSurrender]

Oh get the hell out of here.
The game has like 700k preorders for PS3, and the 360 has about 1.6M.
But the 360 has a 7 million console lead on the PS3.

Go ask why only like 30% of Halo 3 players bought Halo 3 ODST.

And PS3 owners are more driven towards widespread games, 360 fanboys tend to stick to one genre, like someone else said, make a game first person and put guns in it, and they will buy it.

Anywho, 700k preorders for MW2 is pretty damn good for PS3.
So the guy who wrote this article is a dumbass, because he likes MW2 means everyone else has to? Wow.

[spunnups]

Here's why I'm not getting it right away:

CoD4 had an array of issues that were never fixed:

Hit detection is way off, small maps, grenade spamming, spawn points were in the most obvious spots, no capture the flag, host ending game more often than not killed the game for me more than anything else

I will wait for multiple reviews before even thinking about getting this. The timed exclusive maps for the 360 left a bitter taste in my mouth as well. I am currently more interested to see how BAd company 2 and MAG turn out more than this grenade fest.

[bjornbear]

And therefore harder choices to make imo.

I myself can't decide between AC2, MW2 and GOW Collection pack =/, AND i've already spent some cash on U2:AT and Uncharted 1 o.O

To be a PS3 owner it is both a curse and a blessing O.O

[Morituri]

Bad Company at the moment looks to be a far better fps than MW. Check out the vids if you doubt me.

Other than that, I'm saving my love for MAG. I played MW4 for 30 minutes and i could not see what all the fuss was about. Then I went back to KZ2.

The thing is, COD:MW has built up such a reputation that every shooter coming out has it plainly in their sights, and I think that you will find that it will be much harder for it to stand head and shoulders above the rest like it did before.

For me KZ2 just felt better, and I liked the art style more too. Bad company just looks Bananas, imo. I think that title in particular saw what MW did and did everything in their power to one-up them.

I guess we wait and see when the games drop.

[PS3GamerFix]

Say what you want but I am quite sure the PS3 sales of MW2 will be higher than UC2 sales. Sad but true.

[Ju]

UC2 is holding out, though. Surprisingly.

[Ko_Uraki]

PS3 fans loved CODIV because it was considered a sort of "Halo 3 Killer". By now COD:MW2 is waited more by xbox 360 owners and PS3 users seem to be hurted by this.

[RetroPietro]

After the shockingly bad games of COD 4 and COD World at War i dont really care a lot about MW2. Im more interested in Uncharted, MAG, Bioshock 2, Mod Nation Racers, God of War 3, Heavy Rain, White Knight Chronocles and Final Fantasy. These gamnes im far more excited about

[totallysane]

fuk this arguing crap people, yall are stuck in the past, look forward to the future. ps3 got a ton of exclusives on the way CANT WAIT.

[xcox]

at the tone, please leave a message, beeeeeeeeep

[kws1065]

PS3 also does AAA exclusive streaming service.

Demon's souls -> Uncharted 2 -> Ratchet & Clank ACiT -> GOW 1,2 collection (720p native resolution) -> MAG -> Heavy Rain -> GOW3 -> Gran Turismo 5...

No room for MW2.

Edit: In year 2007, there were too few games worth playing in PS3. No wonder why PS3 users bought COD4 much.
End of Story.

[Anti-Fanboyer]

cause Battlefield: Modern Combat was more successful on the PS2 than the Xbox and 360. I think you can still play it online now.

[DirtyLary]

360 pretty much just has HALO/GOW/COD series for competitive shooters.

PS3 has way more titles now. MAG/SOCOM/UC2/RE2/KZ2/MGO/COD

PS3 gamers have more games to choose from spreading their purchases. 360 purchases are concentrated on 1 or two games, halo and cod.

[sak500]

Simply because their hands get cramped from firing the shoulder buttons.

[phantomexe]

I picked it up for the 360 and i would say the ps3 owners aren't really picking it up because they have had a great oct.and nov lineup before MH2.The ps3 has a damn good lineup this year,They preety much got everything the xbox got (all but left for dead 2)They got uncharted 2 which is going be up there for Game of the year.Halo ODST wasn't too great.

[The_Nameless_One]

I was all getting ready for some long comment about this until I saw the source of these numbers. VGchartz!

[Fatmanp]

I love the variety excuse. Explain why PS3 exclusives such as KZ2 dont sell like Gear, Halo and COD?

[badkolo]

I TOLD YOU WHY

they will use any excuse.

but deep inside its not about games, any game from here on out thats also on the 360 will be bashed or not liked, this is n4g, as if thier opinions matter(they dont) and the sales will prove them idiotic once again, welcome to n4g

[Morituri]

Opinions don't matter.

Yours included.

And of course you would say that it's "not about games...", after all, what would you know about "games"? Your selection has been pretty poor this year hasn't it?

Your bliss comes from your ignorance of what the other side has to offer.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

So you guys are saying that the ps3 has TONS of games to play right now??? Well how come your not buying them? Just all jibberish talk from you guys as always. I'm willing to bed that Modern Warfare 2 on the 360 will outsell Uncharted 2, Demon's Soul, and Ratchet & Clank COMBINED!!!

[HDgamer]

I'm sorry but Wiisports kill all of your pathetic games you rent to own. For a pathetic fanboy with no life you sure do hang around the ps3 section a lot, this also explains those "exclusives" you're suppose to be playing? Can't play them, I know why you're broke and desperate for attention. Don't worry we understand the jealousy, hate and plain disgusting issues you have had with your 360 telling you to kill stuff. Wait that means you also taking medication for paranoid schizophrenia, silly Halo nub.

I get why you use the pathetic sales argument with all your childish antics of a multiplatform game being outdone graphically and gameplay wise by an exclusive. It's the only thing you have when backed in the corner like a small child about to get impaled with a fist by his bully. You're the small child, the gamers are the bully's to you. You reach in your pocket and pull out a restraining order that gets ignored quicker than child support for a convicted felon(xbox 360, your parental guardian)

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

LOL! I got HDgamer all mad at me. :)

[gamingisnotacrime]

Halo 3 MLG Pro adds very little to the discussions.
Obviously you prefer the 360, i prefer the PS3 so what?
Why dont you comment in a more meaningful manner, or post valid points, but you are always bashing on the PS3 and glorifying the 360 get a grip buddy, is not healthy to be so harsh with no good reasons.

MW 2 is a game that will sell huge, I instead of glorifying MW 2 I bought Demons Souls, Uncharted 2 and Fallout 3 GotY, who has time for another FPS, this gen has had more than enough FPS.

PSN: NoGodsOnlyMan

[badkolo]

they feel if they bash the 360 or games that appear on both systems that somehow it will destroy the 360 slowly, they really believe this and they think they can change the publics perception by ninja trolling n4g but time and time again the sales for these games prove them insane.

just watch this site for any multiplat game and you will see the same story over n over

[LEGENDARY PELON]

u guys are so hilarious by saying dat u have enough games already
to play like uncharted and rachet and clank etc!!!

first of all MD2 is way better than uncharted and rachet and clank
combined!!

second of all, pre-orders of MW2 for the Ps3 were way more dan those
of Unhcharted wen it came out!!

and third of all, u guys think that uncharted is a such good game and give it all this hype, but just watch, wen MW2 comes out, all that hype is gonna go away and all the attention is gonna go to MW2!!

the same thing happened with Killzone 2, it was hella hyped wen it came out, but now like 8 months later, everyone forgot about it!!

hahahhaha!
u ps3 fangirls make me laugh!

[QuizPyro]

Dude we aren't gullible, naive, little girls we actually know right from wrong but then again I can't blame you for buying crap you bought the 360.

[totallysane]

noones gonna forget about uc2 with that awesome story, bla bla bla i dont have to remind you. mw was a pointless run and gun shooter they just polished it renamed it and releasing it again. i will buy uncharted again before i buy cod4

[Jeppe]

It's probably nice but.. Read posts above and it's obvious. I guess multi platform games are out of season for PS3 owners. These games don't utilize the PS3 hardware and don't offer the same gaming experience as well as the ones from Insomniac, Guerrilla and Naughty Dog. Oops almost forgot Atlus.

[evilmonkey501]

Demons souls. It'll probably take me 3 months to beat it, but I love a challenge!

[Neo604]

they suck at everything else.

[kenpachi]

what the hell is MD2...... what are you some sort of retard and there's loads of people on my friends list playing Killzone

[LEGENDARY PELON]

i meant to say MW2
a lil typo

really!

well More people play Halo 3 online!!

and ur the retarded one here because
i never said dat ppl dnt play K2 anymore,
i just said dat ppl just forgot about it

[Gago]

I am buying it on ps3

first time Im buying a mutiplate game on ps3

[Ninjamonkey]

Im looking forward to MW2 and I own a ps3...

I like all good games, and despite the bad press, it looks to be good.

And its pretty obvious that this game will be friggin awesome. All great games get bashed heavily. Forza 3, Killzone 2, MGS4 and Halo 3 were bashed to hell and all of them turned ou to be AAA games ;)

[TooTall19]

for knowing what a good game is. Picking this up on ps3 as well.

[Shane Kim]

We don't like it. We have KZ2.

[chrisulloa]

KZ2 < MW2

[totallysane]

@crhis

other way around man, cant compare exclusive to multiplat. xbox fans will never understand the true meaning of being a kz fan. that game is very hard hardcore gory and all kinds of other adjectives. mw doesnt come close

[chrisulloa]

No only thing good on KZ2 is the graphics, aside from that it fails miserably.

[shutupandplay]

They always try to play it off like they don`t like it, because nobody wants to play it on crap ps3. Can`t wait for the midnight launch where 360`s will be set up (wonder why).

[QuizPyro]

1.100.4% WTF?!
2.They're setting up 360's so they can get rid of them

[CernaML]

Oh hey apparently SonyStyle is doing the same thing. Except on PS3s. But it's okay. You can still feel special for playing it on the 360 at YOUR location.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...the ChatBots have had NO REAL 'AAA' Games this year so of course they will Lap this one up!!! ;-D

I'll get it 2nd hand off eBay next year maybe;)
(Only if 'IW' give PS3 Owners some Love tho. Because they didn't give a Dam with MW1 i.e no Trophies + Rumble updates) :-/

[chrisulloa]

Because Forza 3, BLOGT, L4D2 aren't console exclusives amirite?

[CernaML]

I don't know why you guys are hyping up L4D2. I just played the demo on the PC and it sucked. It offers absolutely nothing new. The freaggin' zombies are the same with just a new title slapped onto them.

[MaximusPrime]

So much ps3 games to choose from.

Xbox 360 ..... On the otherhand, has no decent games. Thus explaining why MW2 sales would fare better on xbox 360.

Anyway i seen this before. As usual xbox fans play with sales but ps3 fans play with quality games.

[Gobuz]

Reasons why I'm not pre-ordering.

1. I haven't seen 1 scrap of in-game footage that is the PS3.
2. Activision are greedy sh!ts and the game is too expensive
3. I have plenty of other great games to be playing.
5. I don't like the way IF sucks MS ass, it's a MP title they should treat both platforms equally.

[kenpachi]

if there still playing it then they haven't forgotten about

[Figboy]

we ignore multi-plats.

the truth of the matter is that the exclusive line-up of the PS3 this year was PHENOMENAL. why SHOULDN'T PS3 fans support those efforts when they are so clearly above what other multi-platform developers are doing?

with that said, i bought Batman: AA, RE5, Ghostbusters, Prototype, and i'll be picking up Dragon Age some time today, and at some point in the future, when i can afford it, i'll pick up Assassin's Creed 2 and Borderlands.

but when i have the choice between those games, and

Killzone 2, inFAMOUS, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank Future: ACIT, and God of War Collection, you bet your ass i'm going to choose those first.

it's not that we WON'T buy those multi-plat games, it's just that we have so much choice we can't buy ALL the games that release.

what released on the 360 this quarter that was genuinely quality? Halo 3: ODST and Forza 3. not much else vying for 360 owners dollars other than multi-plats.

the PS3 saw three MAJOR releases this quarter, on TOP of all the awesome multi-plats.

ALL of us understand that money is incredibly tight these days, and yet the gaming press always wants to point out sales, or generalize PS3 owners into a category of people that are snobby elitists that won't buy multi-plats when that's not the case.

OVER TIME, multi-platform games sell rather well on the PS3. no, not as much as the 360 in most cases, but more than enough for the developers to make a profit.

we just don't rush out and buy them day one like we do the top notch exclusives.

ANYONE that has played Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2, and Ratchet can understand why those were at the top of the list.

for the record, i have no interest in Modern Warfare 2, because i never cared for the first one.

i also find it funny that when Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 hit, it was, "GOD, i'm SOOOO sick of FPS games! i wish Sony would make something else!" but then, when Modern Warfare 2, and before Operation Flashpoint 2 released and disappointed everyone, it was "HOLY CRAP! MW2 and OF 2 are going to ROCK! FPS games are GREAT! I can't WAIT!!"

PS3 owners have shown throughout this ENTIRE generation that they enjoy a broad spectrum of games. it's not just one type of game garnering multi-million sales, but across many genres.

it's no exaggeration that shooters do the best on the 360. Gears 1 and 2, Halo 3, COD4, even Mass Effect (which was more shooter than RPG, truth told. i love it, but it is what it is), and other exclusive and multi-plat shooters cater more to the 360 cloud, who really want to get their money's worth out of LIVE.

because PS3 fans don't have to constantly play online to feel like they aren't wasting money. the reason why i don't have LIVE, is because i'm not a big MP player, and i HATE to feel obligated to play when i don't want to, just so i'm not feeling like i wasted my subscription. it's also the reason why i stopped playing MMOs that have a monthly fee: i can't play each and every day, so when a few days goes by where i haven't played, i'm like, "well, there's a few dollars from my monthly fee wasted."

i support good games. REGARDLESS of multi-platform or exclusive status. if a greater number of quality exclusives happen to hit at the same time as some quality, but not on the same level multi-plats, i'll have to go with the exclusives.

if Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, Fable 3, and Splinter Cell: Conviction were coming out at the same time as Modern Warfare 2, you're telling me, if you couldn't afford all of them, you would choose MW2 over those?

i SERIOUSLY doubt that.

[gamingisnotacrime]

PS3 exclusives are just too many and too great, sorry 3rd parties, but our money is reserved for the PS3 Cell powered exclusives

[Hudahudahuda]

I agree with you about that feeling on losing money one live. If Live gave you a set amount of time to play without that time being wasted up while you weren't using it I wouldn't find it so unappealing, but i'm not too fond of online gaming and PS3 titles seem to have the better single player games in my opinion.

[nraudigy2]

People buy games like Halo and COD to play online more than the 10 hr single player games. Multiplayer Online FPS + Xbox 360 controller = replayability. Xbox 360 controller is more suited for FPS, while PS3 controller is better at fighting games due to crappy 360's D-Pad.

[rafaesca]

Honestly x box doesn't have as strong of a lineup this holiday season as does the ps3. It's obvious more xbox owners will dedicate their dollars on modern warefare but ps3 might see a bigger jump in sales as a variety for their software. Either way, the game will blow up big! On both systems and that's gonna be a great multiplayer experience for the whole world to enjoy...can't wait!

[disposable]

Because PS3 owners bought too many PS3 exclusives this year to have money left for MW2 whereas Xbox owners...

[rmatott]

good i thought i was the only one on the planet not getting cod mw2, i just have so many games to play that i dont need codmw2

[Mc187]

I don't so much preorder as I use the preorder system like lay-away allowing me to chip away at the final price of my game as it gets closer to release so when it comes out I'm not out the whole amount right then and there. Some of us are ballers on a budget.

[pokeystaples]

I've never played a COD game and have little interest in starting now, I'm boycotting Activision games and I'm broke as hell. The most important reason, however, is that Wifey said two games in November. I picked GoW collection and NSMBW.

[younglj01]

How easy can I make this.The reason more 360 owners is paying MW2 is bc tha lack of games that have been release this year.This is not a fanboy speaking but a gamer speaking.Look at tha release that have been release this year for tha PS3.Now look at tha games that have been release for tha 360 and u got ODST and MW2.And another reason maybe because of tha maps they will get b4 PS3 owners.Only shooters I'm waiting on is M.A.G. and BC2.I was getting MW2 until I saw footage and realize its only a upgrade to MW1.Think about it we could have got Special Ops and tha kill streaks in a DLC.So 360 go get this on tha 11 and come back and throw it in our face bc we dont care bc i know i dont lmao.

[ottoman_239]

Im getting it & im not busy with uncharted 2!

[Shendow]

I preorder MW2 like almost a year ago and I didn't pick up Uncharted 2 because I had Demon's Souls Dex. Ed, Ninja GS2: Collectors Ed. Plus my gf got me Disgaea 3 and I spent over 70 bucks getting some of the add ons and some games for her to play.

So I kind of miss out on R&C A Crack In Time, Tekken 6 and Uncharted 2.
But I did rent all of them and I got both pretty much done.

[Skyreno]

I was Fan of game first ..it was my first buy anyway ,i was addicted to it.. soon game like Mag that came ..and killzone 2 came now i feel this game im Big fan,that im playing so much of it :) but i all im saying is ps3 owners are too busy playing games than xbox.. ...also CMW2 is onlygoing get bored is only upgrade thats it ...

[patterson]

Aside from having a wide selection of games to choose from, we don't like supporting that d*ckhead what's his name that runs Activision. He needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.

EDIT
Here's why:
http://arstechnica.com/gami...

[xc7x]

a writer on a game site can't spot the obvious reasons,are they in the right profession? just saying...

[DK_Kithuni_71]

..NO!

[gamingisnotacrime]

PS3 gamers exploded lol

Yeah like many said, PS studios is taking very good care of us, CoD shooters can wait until 2011

Cell powered games FTW!

PSN: NoGodsOnlyMan

[pokeystaples]

i wish it were a little more of a discussion though. what is it about this game that is so polarizing? there are legions of gamers on another system who are clamoring for this game while TWO other groups of console owners will miss out on it as we cannot forget that many millions of people have the wii.

it may be that a large portion of ps3 owners are 360 owners as well and have chosen to get the title on the console that they perceive will offer the best online experience and the most dlc. it could have something to do with people purchasing the ps3 for the bluray alone and not buying games. it could be that ps3 owners who do buy games are kinda tapped out from exclusives. it may be that activision has offered the short end of the stick to ps3 only owners and those console owners have finally crossed their arms and said "no."

more likely than not it is all these things culminating into some perfect storm.

what do you think?

[gamingisnotacrime]

I can tell you my experience.
I bought CoD 4 MW, like it pretty much, ok that was then.
October 2009 the PS3 releases included Fallout 3 Got Y edition, Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls and Ratchet and Clank. Each of those games offers extremely different experiences, and lots of content. Many think that MW 2 is an improved CoD4, and by what IW said recently it might be just that.

The PS3 is a very powerful console, and its capabilities are only tapped ny Sony's exclusives, while multiplats like MW2 are not pushing the console in any way. Other known fact is that PS3 demography is not a FPS lovefest, for me MW 2 is not on my radar of must buy for 2 reasons: I am not a MW fan, and I bought Uncharted 2, Fallout 3 GotY and Demon's Souls, so im basically broke and have more games than time to play them.
Give me your thoughts about it, take care and game on

[EdFry]

we can't just ask Mommy and Daddy to buy our games for us we have to work for our money and choose which amazing games we will buy.

And those fanboys barking about Sales for PS3 games being crappy, I just recently picked up Uncharted 2, haven't even had a chance to play Ratchet and Clank: FtoD let alone Crack in Time and now I have to give-in and buy MW2 just because I know all my friends will be on it for a good three months. Some people can't just beg Mother and Father or use that Welfare Check for their new game(singular), we actually have to save up and choose which games(plural) we would like to play.

[oldsnayke]

I own both systems, and I feel safe to say that the 360 is getting more love from Infinty Ward compared to the PC and PS3.

[Ps_alm3k]

Even the dev say it themselves.........
I'm only buying it because of my friend wants me to play it with him.
Other then that it's totally not worth the price!!!
Activision Cheap!!!! Infinity ward Cheap!!!!
No dedicated server!! CHEAP!!!!!!

I have money to waste, but if you don't , then don't bother getting it!!!

[seifer085]

but Im on a budget these days Damn it!!!

[Darkfiber]

No interest whatsoever. Regardless of how good and polished it is, it's still a war shooter. Polish a turd and it's still a turd. Yawn. Unfortunately people will keep buying them so we'll probably never get something new. I'd like to see what Infinity Ward can do with a new IP.

[air1]

lmfao..

you sony fanatics need to get a job!

bu bu but i have (uc2 great game)ratchet and kz2 "my plate is full" lmfao 3 games and sony fanatics cant afford to move on. poor sony..

[DRIIV]

$180
4 games $240
5 games $300
Kz2, Uncharted 2, inFamous, ratchet and clank, Demon's Souls

add a pc and games from last year, and that adds more games and cost. Some people have a budget.

[keysy420]

first off there were 5 AAA exclusives this year. with 5 or more 9 rating psn titles. i get you 360 fans love your system great but dont try to do stupid things like compare games the ps3 is clearly the winner in that category and if you look at the overall list for next years it once again dwarfs the 360. expecially if wii ports come over. get both systems play alot of games but dont compare things that arent even in the same ball park. like forza 3 and gt they arent even in the same class of game.gt destroy's forza on so many different level its funny.

[totallysane]

exactly we ALL cant go out and waste money on every single game that comes out. thats why they make crap games and good games and people like us (gamers) with common sense, know what to buy and what not to buy.

[totallysane]

@ driv meant to agree with u on that

[CernaML]

Some people also have bills to pay. You should really talk to your parents about that. You can learn a thing or two from them you know... then again you already sound like a spoiled brat.

[Bumpmapping]

MW2 is a little kids shooter doesn't appeal to us adults that much.

[click 2 get virus]

we all know 360 owners love fps, i have Uncharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank. and Borderlands, im gonna get codmw2, but not on day one, because it just looks like codmw 1.5

[Ironmantrunx]

I don't know why anyone would really be excited about this game. It seems that this series just pumps out re-treads since 2. Why buy Modern Warfare 2 its just more of the same from 1. The call of Duty franchise isn't exactly know for amazing stories. If it is the gameplay it's just more of the same as I said. It just seems kinda pointless when there are genuinely good and innovative games to purchase.

The reason the PS3 is probably is the lowest is due to some Sony exclusives dropping recently or relatively soon, not to mention what was mentioned about that statistically it seems that PS3 gamers express interest in more diverse genres. While the 360's gamers seem to focus mostly on FPS.

[infamous_27]

Maybe some people just don't like to preorder. I know absolutley know one who preorders games (other than me :P)

[SpikeSpiegel]

Not everyone preorders games. Its kind of hard to just base on how popular (or how it will sell)a game is by judging preorders alone. I bought Uncharted 2 within the first week without preordering.

You must also consider that peoples tastes are different. You cant expect every game to be big best sellers out the park just because its a hyped game.

[itsralf]

I'll buy it used in three years when GameStop lowers the price by $10.

[gololo]

ps3 have a wider variety of games as right now :)

[Digitaldude]

As 360 owners go crazy over it.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

We do its just that Uncharted 2 is just better.

[jax07]

BECAUSE THE GAME IS NOT THAT GOOD TO BEGIN WITH!!!!

[3rik]

Lets all be honest with ourselves. The PS3 just has more to offer right now, so I can understand why people don't have a huge need to go out and get MW2. I only have a 360, and I can say that we don't have nearly as many games to get excited about. I am not a PS3 fanboy. In fact for a good part of this generation I have been hating on the PS3. But recently, the PS3 has really stepped up and the 360.......I don't even know what is going on there. They are really dropping the ball.

Oh......once I have the money......a PS3 will be mine!

[kumashii38]

A timed exclusive map is one of the reason.
please ask not PS3 owners, but Activision.

[keysy420]

i didnt buy a ps3 to only play shooters for one or since i got a ps3 am i limited to play only shooters. secondly most of my friends who normally buy games on ps3 are buying this game on 360, then some other people think this is a exclusive to 360. lastly i own a ps3 i have games to play, so modern warfare is jsut another one. by the way when does dead nation com to the psn?

[djfullshred]

PS3 owner here, and no, not at all interested in Modern Warfare.

Last month I bought Batman Arkham Asylum, Fallout 3 GOTY, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Uncharted 1 & 2, & Borderlands.

On the download side, I bought PS1 classics Oddworld 1 & 2.

We have a lot of games to play, and i could care less about MW, or any Activision games.

[oldsnayke]

Let's just look at this for a second. The 360 has a much larger community than the PS3 and PC combined.. Why? Because of the features that it offers.

I think that the fact that the 360 has survived so well on a 40% failure rate says something about it. If it was such a bad system, as many PS3 gamers claim, then it would not be thriving as much as it has been now would it? Especially not on a 40% failure rate.

The reason WHY the devs are focusing on Xbox over all other consoles is because of the massive gaming community and because of the fact that Xbox has always been more of an FPS based system. Americans like to invigorate themselves in an environment that make them feel like they are actually in combat and FPSes really give that experience to the gamer. So-to-speak, Americans tend to have a more "violent" and blunt nature about them and this suits combat well.

The PS3 focuses moreso on RPGs and third person based games - it is moreso oriented towards Japanese gamers. It also caters to more "mature" gamers but really, that doesn't mean much when it comes to sales.

I am not trying to be a bad guy, nor am I bashing the PS3 by any means - it is a great system, but because of it moreso oriented towards an Asian audience it is failing here in America. This is the same reason why the Xbox is failing in Japan. I cannot see the PS3 thriving much more than it is right now, and to be quite honest, it doesn't matter how good the exclusive is it is still not going to flourish here in America. It is just not going to happen.

I would like to use this as an analogy: An Asian is transferred from a school in Japan and placed into a random public school here in America - who do you think he is going to fit in better with; other Asians or Americans? Accept it... the PS3 is as good as dead here in North America, but very much alive in Asia.

I like this. Well said. No fanboy comments is a plus.

Even YOU left out the Europeans... q:

[DarkTower805]

It doesn't have so much to do with AAA exclusives as it does with the way Activision/IW treat PS3 owners. They act like MW2 isn't even coming out for the PS3.

So...F'em!

[Sharp_ShOOter1]

The 360 has a horrible lineup of games compared to the PS3 this year. After the recent release of one of the best games of all time, Uncharted 2, PS3 owner's wallets are probably empty (At least mine is).

[Shrinkwrap]

I think gamer's are sick of all the bogus reviewer's and fanboy articles that are written just to get hit's on a web site and find out the game is not what you thought it was, so someone can fill there pockets up. The old saying goes, "Time is Money."

Notice how people are not so fast to jump on the bandwagon anymore.
They take there time and money serious, because , some have matured, some are casual gamers and the world economy is not all that hot right now.

If you got the cash to throw around, then do it. Brag all you want about game numbers. People have options and choices, also try to make do with what they have at their disposal.

The masses go buy games because of commercial advertising instead of self gratification. Ads will sell products, just ask any major corporation.
I believe the masses are not so mass anymore thanks to the economy.

Play what you think is fun, enjoy your game(s), I know, I am, at the end of day, that's all that matters.

YOU ARE SMOKING CRACK OR YOU JUST HAVENT HEARD PS3 IS ON THE TOP OF THE HILL AGAIN.PS HAS DOMINATED THE GAMING INDUSTRY FOR YEARS IN NORTH AMERICA,DID U REALLY JUST WRITE THAT CRAP ABOUT ASIA AND NORTH AMERICA??? I NEED TO PUT HANDS ON YOU AND BLESS U MY SON.GET THAT WHITE POWDER OUT YA NOSE MAN.I KNOW IT HURTS BUT MESSBOX PLEZEFIXME IS GOING UNDER LIKE CALIFORNIA

[XKRUCI8]

Do PS3 fans really want people like this to be the voice their console? I don't.

[oldsnayke]

And it's fanboys like you that are the reason for abortions. *Sigh* You'll never learn.

[EdFry]

Thanks to some video surfing and my curiosity i've seen part of the ending to modern warfare 2, and I have to say if you aren't buying for the Multi-player then don't get this game.

SPOILER:

Unless you are a fan of very un-happy ending, think Bambi/Shooter's Beginning. Also you don't have to watch it.

Edit: I didn't put it in, just the URL. The watching is all on you.

[kornbeaner]

I rather play something more complete. Uncharted 2, Killzone 2 new ratchet and clank, Assiasans creed 2, I can't wait til Splinter Cell: Conviction is released, that entry in the series is the change I have always wanted about the series to be. I rather support true sequels that offer more than just a minor upgrade in graphics and features that were cut from the original entry and that is all Modern Warfare 2 is minor in every way.

[EdFry]

If it weren't for my friends wanting me to get this game I would have probably let it pass by. I am now sadden by the fact that I wont be able to play Assassin's Creed until the end of November/early December.

[Zydake]

I fing the whole CoD series overrated only one I found entertaining was #3

[TheTeam06]

They just aren't drooling over it like they were with Resistance: Fall of Man when there was no games for it.

[fadeawayjae]

KZ2 > MW2

[gtamike123]

Us PS3 owners are too busy playing are true exclusives.

[-DeathWraith-]

Because it's just an average, nothing special about it shooter. Just the same as Halo basically. [both Gears Of War 2 and Left4Dead own the living s*** out of any Halo!]

Killzone 2, Battlefeild: Bad Company 1+2>Call Of Duty 4/Modern Warfare 2!

[bozebo]

ps3 owners don't like it for similar reasons to pc users.
the franchise has become a stupid money grabbing plot. the game wont even be any good.
It'l be like all the other big releases now - excellent production quality but DIRE gameplay and just sensible game logic design (ie, billions of un-turnoffable n00b tubes, and bullets that kill in 1 when they hit your feet).

basically, ps3 owners don't like it because they are smart ;)

note: this isn't fanboyism, I don't even own a ps3. I donated my 360 to the flat kitchen because it is so useless - fair enough there's nothing I want to play on ps3 either. PC all the way ^_^ - but no MW2, caus Activison are retarded I refuse to buy it - normally I would when the price drops but the price is never going to drop for MW2 because it barely has for MW1

[NeloRisi]

So what happens to one platform, it concerns me.
I will not be getting MW2 because:

1) Activision and their attitude towards Tim Schafer (I love that guy)
2) Activision and their attitude towards Sony (You need to lower the price !!)
3) Activisions peripheral wet fantasy (Yeah, they need to lower the price but how would you like to buy a 200 dollar plastic turn table?)
4) No server options for the PC
5) Price hike

Thats there. I've been keeping count. Gaming is a very serious hobby of mine and if somebody is tried to mess up *my* hobby... I'll not stand for it. I loved CoD4 but like hell if I'm buying MW2.

[TheObserver]

360 has less games this year.

PS3 has more games this year.

As simple as the observation can get.

[napoleon_ist]

i want bad company 2.

[Wh15ky]

What a silly way this author appears to have used percentages.

The way it should be done in this instance is 100% = the combined preorders on 360 and PS3 then a share of that 100% is allocated to each platform based on the preorder figures. For example for every 62 preorders on 360 there were 38 preorders on PS3, the way this guy has done it means nothing, why did he even bother converting the figures to percentages?

[yeswecan84]

No pre-order needed, buying it on day 1. Plenty copies for all.

[keysy420]

live isnt that much better than psn dont believe the hype, cross game chat and invites is the only thing live has on psn. Actually in many ways the psn has been besting live. So live being better than psn is bull especailly now that you can watch way more movies and watch them earlier on the psn. i swear everytime a 360 fanboy hears something they dont like they make up something in their head

[Shortstop]

Unless it's got splitscreen online, I definitely won't be buying it. Got bored of COD4 and didn't even bother with World at War. Maybe I just outgrew these games or something, I don't know. COD4 was great but, I need that online splitscreen component to justify it.

[snake-OO]

they are people who just don't want to support activion with all the ripping off they do for eg dj hero 3 track expansion costs round about £5.00 in the uk,thats a rip off and also they raised the price by £15 to £55 for CODMW2. Its a good retailers know how otherwise we would be out of money.
Kottick is taking steps to raise prices on games and if every publisher takes the same step, we will all be royally fvcked. so if people dont buy this game i completely understand.
we need to do something about this pricing for the long run.

[Pwee]

Personally I like FPS's like KZ.

But give be Bad Company 2 any day!

Way better the COD IMO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fallingdove]

I played a lot of COD4, I played a lot of Resistance 2, I played a lot of Killzone 2. I just can't justify spending $60 on a game that fails to bring anything new to the table.

Uncharted 2 and Demon Souls currently have my undivided attention. Maybe I will take a look at it when there is a lull in video games to play.

[dredgewalker]

They charged extra for a game that didn't have a new engine. They said "if it ain't broke don't fix it"...i thought the extra charge was for the additional development costs? The answer for me is there are tons of other games that i want and im really not in the mood for an fps game in the meantime especially one that is overpriced.

[tonywood24]

Who are the people posting stuff on here? PS3 owners don't want Modern Warfare 2? CHILD PLEASE. Maybe Sony fans don't pre order everything that comes out. Pre-order does not always mean that the a game either completely purchased ahead of time, or that the game will be bought on day on. (Plenty of times, I pre-ordered a game, only to change my mind use the money down on a different game. Also, I have forgotten that I pre-ordered and bought that game, someplace else. I KNOW THE CROOKS AT GAMESTOP LIKE THAT!) Halo 3 sold 10 million copies...and there wasn't 10 million pre-orders on that game.

[BiluMaster K's]

maybe ps3 owners just walk into stores and buy the game when its out. If there is no good game to play, of course u preorder....and we ps3 gamers have no need for that

[DigitalAnalog]

Regardless of what reason, the chart proves one thing.

"The PS3 Exclusives have already done their job."

And to those idiots who are concerned why Infinity Ward advertises MW2 like it's a 360 exclusive should know that EVERY COD fanboy out there regardless of system would buy it (advertised or not).

I for one will not buy this game as I am running on budget and I have more important games to play with such as:

Resistance 2
Valkyrie Chronicles
Eternal Sonata
Borderlands
Dragon Age: Origins (if I ever finish Demon's Souls)
Assassin's Creed II
God of War Collection

And you COD fanboys wonder why the PS3 users aren't supporting MW2 as "you" expected to.........

[FishCake9T4]

I care about the game and so do all the rest of the PS3 gamers i know.

[SportsFan]

I certainly hope that PS3 fans buy this game! I will have it for my Xbox 360 Elite, as this will be one of the BIGGEST games to ever come out! It would be a shame if PS3 owners don't get this game.

[DigitalAnalog]

I could say the same thing about "other" games.

[cpuchess]

I changed my reserve copy from 360 to PS3...

[GAMER505]

I know personally I can't wait for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 :)

[EVILDEAD360]

LMAO @ easily the worst stats to prove a games lack of popularity in the entire history of F-boy blogs.

Let's tell the truth:

Call of Duty; Modern Warfare 2's PS3 American preorder numbers are 650,000+.

This silly blog tries to convert that to a percentage of 38%

To compare Assassin's Creed 2 is shown at 69% but only has a preorder number of 172,000+.

Not even close.

The funniest part is when this fan blogger tries to pretend that PS3 owners are more interested in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. BC2's preorder numbers are a whopping 31,000+.

You would have to bury your head in the sand next week to believe what is being falsely represented in this blog.

Modern Warfare 2 will outsell all games on the PS3 (Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, etc)in 2009.

Let's see what the percentage is compared other games sold on the PS3 this year and watch those numbers flip considerably.

With 1.7 Million preorders,the 360 edition of MW2 is selling the most because the controller + Xbox live make it the best system hands to play the game on. But PS3 owners with one system will still buy the game more than truck load.

Either way: Modern Warfare 2 is the biggest game of 2009..period and that goes for both consoles.

Evil

[SolidSystem]

Hes comparing how the user bases are reacting to games.
he just noticed a trend that while BFBC might not sell as well, the PS3 user base that is interested in the game is closer to the 360 user base. where MW2 ps3 user base is much smaller compared to the 360 base.

[EVILDEAD360]

@ SolidSystem

Read the blog again. It has nothing to do with BFBC 'interest' being closer to the 360.

BFBC is 18 weeks away, of course its going to be closer than the 360.

The fact is COD 4:MW outsold EVERY game on the PS3 not named Grand Theft Auto 4 and it still didn't come close to the 360 sales of the game.

Are you really going to defend a blog that uses faulty comparison date to prove that Dragon Age is more popular than Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3?

If you want to prove what the PS3 install base is purchasing than look at the sales on it's system PERIOD. Name a game on the PS3 that will outsell Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 alone?

It was a no-brainer that the 360 install base in America would overwhelmingly outdue the PS3 base in sales of the game. History is just repeating itself.

Evil

[SolidSystem]

once again he is looking at ratios, nothing more.

yes call of duty will probably outsell all those other games that had a closer ratio to the 360.

hes just saying for every 100 360 people getting MW2, there is only 36 getting it for the ps3.

and hes looking at games like BFBC where both user bases are getting closer to 50:50.

so if we assume all user bases enjoy games, and games like MW2 will sell on the ps3, i think its interesting to see that the 360 just has sooo many more reserves than the ps3.

his title is misleading, but if you sit down and understand what the numbers say, and then look and see where hes trying to go with this. its pretty obvious.

[SolidSystem]

Did anyone forget how little support MW got for the PS3 the first time around?

I love my PS3 to death, but I traded in the PS3 version for the 360 simply because IW didnt support the PS3 version. no rumble, no trophies, etc.

not to mention playing with your friends on the first on on PS3 was a pain in the ass. no offense to anyfanboys here, but you had to be at the right screen to get your invites. its not like 360 where you get a message to go join, or PC where you look at what server they are in and just jump into that server.

[Gurney Halleck]

No care about Modern Generic Shootan 2.

[JJFNIGHTS80]

Things I will play before COD2. Uncharted, MAG, Assassin's Creed 2. I have here three games to keep me busy before COD. Every year COD comes out at the end of the year. Still I have plenty of time to get COD no need to rush out and buy it.
