Which Version of PSU will sell more?

[Saner]

it would be great if all sell really well and stuff. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

but I'm glad Sega chose PS2 cause that's a smart and comfy moneytree to invest on. especially since the PS2 even in this day and age is still a solid and great system for offline and online play while still focusing on being a gaming system above anything else. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif


but ya I'm so glad PSU is not next generation only. although I have an Xbox360, it's isolation and stubborness for everything to be voice chat, that's not my kind of community. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif


but ya PSU2 might be next-gen only but I'm glad even Sega knows the true value of the PS2 and the consumer market it has dominated over the years (not counting the inferior yet popular portables) http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif



but ya the worst mistake would have been if PSU was made for PS3 instead of PS2. and many companies would agree.

like check this article from industry professionals:




"EA tips PS2 and Xbox360 for Xmas Success

Attention publishers: There's still a lot of money to be made in the current generation.

Stores are going to be crowded this Christmas, what with Sony and Nintendo launching new consoles, Microsoft having sorted out its stock issues with the Xbox 360, and both new handhelds doing well. EA says the real winners this Christmas will be Microsoft's new system and Sony's old one.



Current-gen hits like FIFA can still make big money
"All of the attention is going to be on the battle between PS3, Wii and Xbox 360, but the money is going to be made this Christmas on Xbox 360 and PS2," EA's David Gardner told MCV this week.

"We are going to have titles that I think that are going to look incredible on PS3 but it's really not going to be meaningful with the supply situation and the late in the year shipment."

That doesn't mean EA isn't entering these new lands with gusto. The company is planning "a couple" of games for release around the launch of the Wii, and there will be 8-10 games out for PlayStation 3 by the end of March.



The arrival of the next generation proper has many game makers putting all their eggs there. "THIS is a mistake", says Gardner:

"If [publishers] are spending all of their money on next-gen and they haven't got any PS2 games, they're missing the sweet spot of where the profits are."

Alex Wollenschlaeger
Editor, Kikizo Games

so ya it's great Sega is aware of this and made the right choice.

initially, PSU was intended for PS2 and PC only but Xbox360 is lucky that Sega changed its mind about it, since XBox360 already has a large headstart compared to the upcoming PS3.



so ya, I feel Sega and Sonic Team made the right choice for the systems they are making PSU for. and any disagreements are pointless since they won't change their minds now. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

I just believe you are bored beyond relief and like to spam polls for the heck of it, right, Saner?

You could warn us off right now. What next poll are you going to dish out at next?
Underwear? What underwear we will be wearing when playing PSU? How many memory cards we'll use for it? If we are going to play with a friend or all alone? Poll about how often we will go to the toilet while playing PSU?

I say you are beginning to exagerate with those polls.

PS2 >> PC >>>>>>>>>>>>> 360

I will buy PC version myself, but younger gamers who play, will most likely stick to PS2 version.

360 wont even compair to the two in sales.

well ya that's true. plus the fact the PS2 versions offline story can be played without needing constant connection to the internet,
therefore people can really buy the game for just the offline itself (like most RPGs), if they can't go online or afford the monthly fee. so ya this broadens and welcomes more types of gamers into playing PSU. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

It is not flame-baiting. You are posting tons of new polls and such nearly every day. And this is a honest question. I believe you are bored and do post those multitude of polls because of boredom, and I want to know if I'm right.

no my Polls are constructive and do not involve spamming them ever so often. if you have been here last week and the week before, I didnt post any polls at all.

and just recently I made a non-Poll topic regarding game informer, which shows I don't post just Polls. so there. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Earthsunderer]

Do not worry, I do not accuse you of being a spammer.

I do however accuse of of spamming polls, which is a minor, but still substantial difference. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

You may now go on with your business, citizen. There is nothing to watch.

[mattdude]

I think the PSU will sell out most on the PC, and the PS2, i don't think the XBOX 360 willl tho, Xbox360 hasn't been the best system been lots of problems on it, like i had one but then it broke like the 3rd week we had it, I got to return it tho. There has just been lots of problems on it, but w/e I think PC and PS2 will sell the best out of the 3.

2k posts in three months gogogo?

[EtherForce]

I'm just glad it's coming out on PC cause I prefer playing online rpgs on my PC and the PC leaves the most room for improvement. I don't think the Xbox version will do as bad as people say. In fact, the Xbox version is a better choice than PS2 graphics-wise. Hopefully the Xbox will link with the other versions as well.

[mattdude]

Yah the Graphics would be better on the XBOX360, but the one thing you get is the headset comunity, and i don't like that, i lke to use the keyboard and a controler, that is what i like

[AngelLight]

Longest Poll Heading Textwall ever....TLDR

But, bottom line, general gist was what system we are going to play on, in which case, its PC all the way.

well right now Xbox360 has blurred in graphics that previewers like gamespot and IGN talk about, it sounds serious and they say the PS2 version is visually more comfortable.

maybe they are trying too hard making the Xbox360 look better when they are just trying to scale it to a better resolution, resulting in a blurry mess?



also a recent developer blog confirmed PC and PS2 is connected, so looks like Xbox360 will be alone.

I met Xbox360 owners on Live Gold that even want to be isolated from the other systems.
It shouldn't be that way but oh well, guess its a tug of war when it comes to linkage.

but even Xbox360 players I know are going PC or PS2 for this game, caues they know it'll be better online for those systems. and others have friends on those systems.

We're just experiencing a lull before the storm. By this time next week, the game will be released and we will have a lot to discuss. So, don't worry about seeing polls like this. They will soon disappear and be replaced by real in-game questions/observations.

[mattdude]

Ryna you getting japanese verion or english?

I am getting both.

I'll play the Japanese version to become more familiar with it in order to build tools for the site and to play with friends. When the English version comes out, I'll switch.

[mattdude]

oh okay.......thnking if i should do the same, but i dont speak Japanese so I don't know.....lol

[Saner]

ya we'll have AAAAAALL of September to study and discover the full story mode details and stuff. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

as well as everything about the online play.

but for the most part, the Japanese release will be great for understanding the wealth of plot points and cultures and everything about the offline story mode.

This would help us who will go straight to playing online right away. with the story mode's knowledge of everything we learn from the Japanese version and translations, we won't have to play the offline mode first if we don't want to,

besides it's interesting to learn the story mode completely the month before, in a sense what the importers share with us will greatly keep us in touch with PSU even though we don't have it yet. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Reystradamus]

Ps2 Will sell more copies...because alot of peoples computers wont be able to run the game(like mines)...and ps2 is the best option to just buy n play..without worryin if u got the right stuff for ya cpu to run the game

[Saner]

yup yup that definitely is the case with many gamers since not everyone has a souped up PC to handle it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

z0mg just like me >.<

[SephYuyX]

Since when do PCs cost less than PS2s?

[-Shimarisu-]

PS2 version will sell the best, hands down. Especially in Japan.

Sega know this and that is why they are pushing the offline content. The online sells itself anyway.

[Saner]

Shiramisu! You're back!! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

aaaah don't leave us out of the loop! what else have you seen and learned online with the Premiere disc? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Arias]

It didn't come to my system...so I'm having to buy a PS2 from my friend for it (just 40euros max http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif) but still.....

I might have to wait until january or later to buy the game, since that's the earliest date I can buy his PS2....http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[qoxolg]

for Japan: PS2>>PC>>360

for rest of us: no idea!

don't forget most of the PS2 users are young people and casual gamers that think Final fantasy is teh only 1337z0rz RPG in the world etc etc (no offence towards PS2 owners here http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif)... even though the PS2 is best sold at this moment, I don't think it will be sold much on the PS2 in US and EU... don't forget the PS2 will drop in sales when the PS3 arrives and the 360 userbase is still growing and growing. So after a few years the I think: PC>>360>>PS2 for the US & EU

[Fleece]

OK were all on PC's so obviously the pc version will win the vote......

PS2 version will outsell them all though, even though im getting the PC version. Theres more PS2's than gaming PC's.....actually WoW probably propelled those numbers stupidly high.

[Alielle]

I think this poll is kind of redundant.

Nope nor would i but i did just spend £550 on building a new PC to play PSU on.

Edit: Neglected to say im getting two PC versions (maybe three, if i get paid near when it comes out in the UK) and the 360 version, the PC version should have the highest online userbase but the PS2 could pip it in sales.


<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: ulyoth on 2006-08-24 17:18 ]</font>

[phunk]

Honestly, I think PS2's version will sell most, 360's comming up second and PC comming up third. There isn't enough hype for this as a PC game. It was introduced on a console and it might just very well be more populated there.

[beatrixkiddo]

It was introduced on a console?

[beatrixkiddo]

PSU is not PSO?

or the idea that it is created for the PS2 then ported?
