Seriously, wasn't it? I remember a bunch of posts about R&C and its potential to move PS3's...

And about a half dozen fake boys stating:

"I'm going to store right now to buy a PS3 cause R&C is coming out"

"I just got back from my local grocery store and PS3's were all sold out"

"I just saw a guy walk out of Best Buy with 9 PS3's cause R&C is coming out"

"R&C is a killer app.... really it is"

Nothing will really act as a system seller all by itself this gen aside from Halo or SSB... no other franchise has enough of that indescribable appeal to single-handedly carry system sales.

Doesn't change the fact that it's a badass game that everyone with a PS3 needs to play.

it came out the last week of october, if it does affect sales we wont see it until november NPD, which will be misconstrued because of the price drops and the release of a new sku, so i guess we'll never really know but going by software totals, it's not selling too well.

Yea i remember all those posts. Funny thing is , even if we over look hardware sales, ps3 software sales are still no where to be found. Before cows always used excuse like "WEll if 3rd party developers did not give us sloppy ports then we would actually buy games" . Now that R/C ps3 exclusive is out what excuse do cows have now since R/C did not make top 10 in game chart.

Developers are notice ps3 poor software sales and i will not be one bit surprised when current big ps3 exclusives will be announced for 360 as well. Do cows honestly think that developers will waste 25 million dollars on a console that has poor software sales.

Hell, R&C can't even move itself...let alone bring new consumers.

No. Many expected R&C to be the first system-seller.

Quite frankly, it astounds me that this game has sold as little as it has. Ratchet and Clank has always sold quite well. The only explanation that I can think of is that the audience the series had on the PS2 hasn't moved on to the PS3 yet.

LOL research? Research What? I look at the PS3 game library and laugh.... Thats all I need to research..

The PS3 is the lamest console to date.. 600.00 and still can't produce any games worth mentioning..

I don't know, I think GTA will get people to buy systems on the game's merits alone. Granted it's not exclusive to Xbox360 or PS3 ,but I think that is one game that will still be responsible for systems purchased specifically to play GTA.

Agreed.. And when thinking about buying a console when GTA4 comes out.. Most people will say damn..

I can play Gears of War, Bioshock, Forza2, Halo 3, Mass Effect and Ninja Giaden 2 on the 360 + GTA4..

Now what will be out at the time GTA 4 comes out that even comes close to that line up..

Plus the 360 is the definitive game accoring to rockstar with the DL content..

Cows PWNED!

Wow, great post.

Yet another "every PS3 owner in the world said this, every PS3 owner in the world said that" based on some random fanboy posts from months ago.

You sir, are the winner, but I won't tell you what the contest is.

Resistance kinda did...

but ill give you an OH SHI-

I don't think Resistance pushed system sales, it was just the game to buy when you bought the system since most of the other games at the time sucked hard.

Mayb the real reason ps3 games dont sell well is because majority of people that do own ps3 actually bought it just for cheap blu ray player and not gaming machine. Rest of the crowd that want gaming machine moved on to wii and 360.

I agree. Ratchet & Clank is going to sell well over Christmas. I believe a lot of people are going to pick up a PS3 over Wii this holiday and guess what game they will be getting with it. Yup Ratchet and Clank. The game will be a million seller. It is good enough and isn't built on hype alone. The game will stand the test of time and end up selling well.

Also anyone who bashes on R&C in my opinion isn't a true gamer. True gamers can appreciate games that raise the bar regardless of console choice. R&C raises the bar for platformers, which is good for everyone. As a gamers everyone should appreciate that.

What truth? The truth that it's a great game that I had an exceptional time with, and absolutely don't regret purchasing?

Or the truth that you're too:

A) Cheap

B) Insecure

C) Afraid of being ostracized by your closed-minded friends

That you will never get to play it?

Or did you mean the truth about tax dollars and how they're wasted on books, transportation, maintenance, faculty etc?

I call it like I see it. I'm a manticore. Own all 4 + handhelds, love em all. Now if I see BS from any company I call it.

If PS3 sells like crap I make fun of it, if someone says PS3's don't sell, I ask him what about the 5.75m already sold?

I don't care who wins, as long as I get to play the games.

Lemmings hate me because I'm not afraid to call BS on their perfectbox.

Truth Hurts as in

1. The PS3 was over priced POS that still has not one single game worth mentioning..

2. Sony has not delivered anything they promised..

3. R/C sold 74,000 copies LOL PATHETIC!!!

4. LAIR... :D

5. Cows are in denial..

Sorry I don't want to play it.. I would sooner go get a Wii and play SMG then buy a 400.00 dollar console that hasn't produced a single AAA game.

As for my education dude.. I paid for my college education.. Taught me that the 360 was the better buy.. Actually just plain old common sense pal...

You know what's funnier than Lair? You being too unoriginal to even come up with your own graphic for your sig.

no...that's not funny at all.

It's actually kind of funny that you think it's funny though...I'll give you that. But a lack of effort in an avatar will never really get the house rockin.
