OK, I take that fanboy comment back. I basically misunderstood something that you said, MrCaine. Personally, I dont believe that Microsoft have a killer app that can shift consoles. Show me some sales figures that show an increase in console sales when HALO 2 was released and I'll eat my hat. That means format exclusive, not something like FIFA or, erm, whatever other huge multiformat titles are out there. I've read on multiple games sites that it was mainly people who already owned an Xbox went ahead and purchased HALO 2.
SONY have some huge franchises, which will constantly be milked in order to keep the 'kwan' coming in. Titles like Gran Turismo and Grand Theft Auto (GT being SONY's biggest inhouse franchise and GTA being the biggest Franchise in gaming now), have proven that they can sell consoles. Just go back and see how the sales for PS2 consoles increased when GT3 came out, and then sales went up again when San Andreas came out. Show me one Xbox/Xbox 2 game that can/will do that?
Nintendo has the mascots, which have been massively abused since SONY entered the market (and hey, lets not forget we have Nintendo to thank for SONY even being in the market). In my opinion, Nintendo do.... blah blah blah. I cant even think of what to post for Nintendo at the moment.
Hey, thread got jacked several times before and after I posted here. Thought I would drop in another 2 cents to keep the meter running
