Excited?Confused?Dissapointed?
So its coming to the PS3... 8 months too late
I thought that Oblivion was exclusive to the Xbox360 and PC? Its not going to effect me (I'm done with it for the most part), but Oblivion was the 360 owners bragging tool for a while. Now Sony zombies will try to rub it in our faces

it was never exclusive... well some game can be 2 weeks exclusive as well. 8 months is long way off

people will compare this game and the other Fight Nite and such side-by-side to Xbox 360. and say it looks better on PS3, obviously it should as developers had nearly one year to improve it anyways...

I can't wait to see how it does in Japan. It is an RPG, but not the type that Japan is use to.
Well, it did crap and was utterly ignored on 360.
So it'll probably sell like hotcakes on PS3.

let it be known that the 360 sold 1,100 units the week leading up to TGS. The week after TGS, sales more than doubled

man, i think if blue dragon and lost odysey fail in japan, then M$ should just stop trying to win over the japanese market.
The Japanese market just doesn't seem to like American games, but Americans sure like Japanese games

User Base is everything and come january/february, if 8 to 10 million 360s are out there compared to 5 million Wiis and 2 to 3 million PS3s, they'd be foolish to skip over the 8 million 360 owners(worldwide mind you).
Look at Capcom, they are huge supporters of the 360 and it has totally flopped in their own territory. Team Ninja? No comment needed. So whos going to say "yeah but what about the little developers?"
WTF about them. If games like Lost Odyssey didnt impress the japanese much(which it didnt compared to Blue Dragon), the lesser known games wont sell a damn thing. Its time to stop embarassing themselves and they need to stop saying publicly that they will win the hearts of japanese gamers. It will Never happen, Thats the reality of it.
They hardly supported the GC, they surely wont support the 360.
At the end of 2005:Japan / Asia
PS2 - 22.83 million
GameCube - 3.98 million
Xbox - 1.97 million
Only double the original Xbox? And Peter Moore has the audacity to think the 360 will make a dent over there? I like the guy but he needs to be slapped around a bit. Like someone said after attending TGS..."MS needs 8 more games like Blue Dragon to even get their console noticed, let alone post impressive sales numbers"
I couldnt agree more. Buy Square and whoever else and it might help
Post by: Mr Invader on October 08, 2006, 08:51:00 PM
But i do agree with you
Hopefully whatever the xbox 360 doesn't sell in Japan it will sell in America (that makes sense right?)
Not that sales matter. Even though the PS2 outsold the Xbox1 in America, many people (at least the ones i know) thought the xbox was still better and that it had way better games for it.

Didn't xbox sell so well cos it's easy to homebrew, I don't know any xbox owner that hasn't modded the box. And neither of them bought it in the first place to get "great" games... xbmc ftw
90+% of xbox owners do not have their boxes modded. Just because all most all here have a modified xbox, does not mean the majority does as well.

Either I belive more of my peers then I should, or it's just that my region is more consumer aware and the fact that 80% of the population has broadband Internet. And well anyone that still has a xbox and hasn't modded it yet is a fool.
Yeah, because Xbox Live is completely useless and all...

You better read up on mods mister... my point gets driven home by someone else, nice...
Oh, so there are modcips that can remain active while you connect to Live?
^2Believe it or not, not everyone is a pirate. Personally, I enjoy playing Halo 2 on Live on my completely stock 1.0 Xbox.

I am not sure I understand what it is about. But, additions are nice.
Why couldn't they release this additional quest on Live for $5 or something?

Attempting to get this thread back on track. Oblivion for the PS3 will have an exclusive quest. Adding 10-20 hours of gameplay.

I wonder how much space this game will take on a Blu-ray disc. 25gb? 30gb?

Typically when they release a game on a new system MONTHS later they need to give it something to get people to buy it.
I'm sure they could provide an additional quest for download on the XBLM but having a few extra hours of gameplay exclusive to the PS3 version will encourage more people to buy it.
Similarly MGS2 and GTA both got extra features/missions when the were released on the Xbox because they came out much later then the PS2 release
