Comments on: MS Gamer’s Day: Data will speak for itself in console race, says Kim http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/05/14/ms-gamers-day-data-will-speak-for-itself-in-console-race-says-kim/ This is the news Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:36:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Tiger Walts http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/05/14/ms-gamers-day-data-will-speak-for-itself-in-console-race-says-kim/#comment-9309 Tiger Walts Wed, 14 May 2008 09:14:18 +0000 http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/05/14/ms-gamers-day-data-will-speak-for-itself-in-console-race-says-kim/#comment-9309 If every 360 owner bought at least 3 games for their console between now and the end of the year then that would be a success if you consider it in terms of attachment rate growth. The PS3 has bigger games coming this year but the only variety that counts is what is coming exclusively from first party development. MS still have the upper hand in this regard. Well, maybe not upper hand but at least a strong showing. I expected Sony to catch up or even overtake MS in software sales around the end of this year but now I'm not sure.

Bioshock wasn't actually that big until we got to play the demo though so there's still a chance something will jump out at us in the same way. Blerk: I agree about Halo.

I can only really think of three games I want for the rest of the year, but as we get closer to Christmas I'm sure there will be more. I reckon it’s partially the summer blues.
