Halo 3 to hurt PS3 sales?

[frequency]

i have read a few weeks ago from two sources..game informer and gamespot that microsoft plans to release its flagship game(Halo3) during the same time as the PS3. they think that buy doing this, its gonna hurt the PS3 launch. as for me i dont quite understand that. heres why, if i have $400-500 in my pocket and if i want a PS3...im gonna go for the ps3. i probably would careless if they ship their halo3 game during the initial launch of the ps3. im just sayin how is it gonna affect ther person already planning to buy a ps3? i would understand it if that person has a ps3 and a xbox 360 and two flagship games come out during the same time...for example halo3 for the xbox 360 and lets say(im just assuming here) MSG4 or GTA. in this example i can see why now that the person who have to choose between two games if he/she had enough money to buy one game for either the ps3 or the xbox 360. i dont wanna talk sh*t on microsoft...sense im pretty sure ill be buying both systems anywayz sense i dont have no more credit cards(but thats another story..haha). i just wanna know how that is accomplished ...that a game can hurt the launch of a competitor's console. any insights on this is welcome

what they are saying is that if u go in to pick up your ps3.. you see halo3 with "everyone" going to get it.. u pick it up have a look and find u "need" the game.. they feel that this could be enough to pesuad people from buying ps3s and instead buying X360 along with halo3.. i believe that is thier understanding..
i kinda understand.. i will prolly end up getting both but what one i get first is a coin flip!!
just my 2cents but i believe that, this is thier understanding!

as for me they can throw ads left and right cause if i have the money needed for the ps3 ..im not gonna buy halo3 cause then its gonna take me longer to buy the ps3 ...i would rather buy the ps3 at launch and when i have enough money buy halo3 or any other game for that matter. i guess some people are easily persuaded...lol. dont get me wrong ..i plan to buy both machines anywayz...i dont need no ads or persuasion ..i will get the game when i have money ..simple is that . but i can see ur point and it does make sense now. i can see the love that Gates has for Sony..haha.

I'm gonna Pass on Both At least Temporarily on PS3 Why?
As you all are aware of Famous $ony with their Machines when it first launches on the market..Laser Crapping out or Drive getting stuck or god knows what..
Price ain't a problem but defective machinery will be, which I refuse to deal with..I say about maybe 4-5 generations down I'll get PS3..
As for Halo 3 Never cared for H1-2 so I'm not missing out and I have to know what the Xbox 360 is capable of meaning if it does same type of Capability of Xbox 1 with the modchip intacted etc..People know what I'm talking about with Emu's and etc..

i hear ya loud and clear on that issue of the lasers crapping out. as for halo3 missing up with sonys launch..i dont know about that one. especially if u got those die hard fans for the ps3 leading the way ...i think sonys launch is gonna do real good..with regards to the pricetage on that badboy. i for one dont care for halo that much ...my friends play it day in and day out using my XBL and xbox..haha. anywayz.....sony is gonna have great titles at launch as well...which will even the battle with their good old friend at microsoft.

Guys this is great news for us.. the more competition the more it will take the prices down..

I dont know, To me Halo2 was a disappointment, I got pretty mad at the end when it said "to be continued" . I dont see it hurting PS3 at all.

[TylerDurden]

I really didnt even play either Halo 1 or 2 much. Itll probably have a good day or maybe even week, untill someone beats it and posts the ending somewhere for all to see.



Tyler!

i dont see how halo3 is gonna affect the launch of the ps3 at all. i guess microsoft is either too bigheaded or there just narrowminded...haha.. thinking that their flaghship is gonna crimple sales of the ps3. i seriously doubt its gonna affect the ps3 at all. i think better shut up cuase im sure the ps3 is gonna have great titles at launch...i for one am waiting for debateable bad ass game...u know which one...KILLZONE!

[skykid]

I don't even know why people like Halo? I hated it...and i'd rather play any FPS on the PC.

I mean how can you get away with calling the hero Master Cheif

PS3 all the way and they better give us the option of an extended guarantee.

If Halo 3 even so much as blemishes the PS3s launch success, i'll start supporting Manchester United!!!

i think bill gates and his other staff were high on some good sh*t to think a single game like halo3 would diminish the ps3 sales..haha...if they only could smell their feet and wake up to reality...lol. but seriously here, lets be realistic i dont think sony has to worry about launching their console along side with their arch nemesis's game. sony has to worry about what the pricetag is gonna be on this high performance machinery

I'm hoping Socom 3 will have more effect on the Xbox 360 then Halo 3 on PS3. Socom 3 is gonna be huge and you'll be able to connect the PSP with it playing as team bravo. So i'm buying a PSP instead together with Socom 3 and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo for PSP.

Events that happen in one game will affect the other and in this way the mission structure in both games will be affected. These are the cross-title events and while Zipper is keeping quiet on just what the specifics are and how they will play out we're sure that this summer should reveal some secrets.
