Sony and Microsoft lose 09

While this is all just one giant pissing contest, and I'm sure Microsoft and Sony are more interested in the papery green stuff, did anyone think maybe neither company will win the sales contest this year. We all know that software sales is where it's at, at least it better be or Sony is in big trouble. It occurs to me that while PC's and Mac's while not direct competitors will be the big winners this year.

If were talking Game of the Year and sales I would bet there is at least 10 million Koreans over here in Seoul who beg to differ sing Blizzard singlehandedly wins 2009, and Starcraft 2 is game of the year. Let us not forget we're talking about a game that has one of the largest online communities 10 years strong, and has survived a legion of pretenders to the RTS throne.

I don't think anyone is going to disagree that Starcraft2 is going to boot-stomp GoW3 and any Halo game, short of Halo 4 in sales. Not to mention Diablo II was kinda popular and held the sales record till it was broken by Warcraft III, which was broken by World of Warcraft. They have the trackrecord and Diablo 3 is slated for 09.

GoW 3 > starcraft 2

There are better RTS's.

To say sony and microsoft lose 09 is nothing more than a bold opinion. PC's have their good titles and so do consoles if you can't see that then your ignoring that fact on purpose...

Are you joking my Friend? I'll take R2 over Crysis anyday on content and re-playability alone. Hell, your chatting with a person who also has LBP payed for... I watched those trailers and wasn't impressed. When im done building my rig i wouldnt buy one of those games you showed only Crysis and that just to see whats the big deal is honestly.

Man guild wars 2 is going to be insane!!!!

SC2 is my favorite game, but Starcraft and God of war or halo don't attract the same audience

Starcraft is for PC gamers that love RTSs

Halo is a shooter for consoles, that doesn't really atract the Starcraft audience...

But in 2009 I'd Rather be a PC only gamer then a Console only gamer,but I'm glad I'm both

no one ever wins. everyone makes millions of dollars and stay happy. people buy their games.

it's all about opinion. one person can say 'SC2 or diablo 3 GOTY !!!111one' and someone else who is a console gamer might say 'NO WAI GEARS 2 !!!11111111oenasdqsadz'

Empire Total War > Starcraft 2

Ok I watched E3 and seen the PC stuff ALONG with the console stuff! Both had very good stuff! And as far as consoles go MS stole the show with the revamp to Xbox live and all the games announced.... PS had their strong point and so did the wii for that type of audience.... E3 really only proved that consoles are getting stronger yet...

Well I'm not a Hermit, I can't be I only use Apples, and I'm not a Lemming though I bought an Xbox 360 a little less then a month ago. I love and adore Gears of War and Bioshock is absolutely amazing, I haven't been this engrossed since Resident Evil 4. However I've had Warcraft III for going on 5 years now, prior to that I played Warcraft II religiously, and I just finished playing a four player deathmatch. Their games have real legs.

Now I know RTS's aren't everybody's cup of tea; god know they should be. But Blizzard has it's bases covered with Diablo III. There is no way you can play a Diablo title and not get addicted, not to mention carpal-tunnel. With Starcraft II, and Diablo III simultaneously out there is no doubt that blizzard will own sales come 2009, not to mention the 10 million users who will upgrade Word of Warcraft with Wrath of the Lich King.

Like some people said above it's not about losing because they all make bank. I just think Blizzard is going to be the big winner this year.

Point taken and I won't deny the fact that Consoles have great titles. In 2009 three of my most anticipated games, Beyond Good and Evil 2, Resident Evil 5, and Final Fantasy 13 are all coming to Xbox. I'm merely staying that all these fanboys screaming that God of War 3, Killzone 2, or whatever this new Halo thing is is going to have monster sales and game of the year is simply wrong. Ultimately this is to piss of Fanboys, Hermits excluded for obvious reasons.

Sudden Strike > StarcraftCloud_Insurance

Wow I don't smell a hater.

I agree with the second poster.

SC isn't the best RTs. But I don't think GOWIII is going to be better.

I think WCIII was better than SC, and unless SCII really destroys it, I don't think that opinion will change.
