didn't they hype up Alan Wake like it was the coming of Jesus at the Republic, now it's barely talked about

Yes they did. They said it would be a killer AAA title, but that's not the case.

Majority of Xbox live users are playing MW2 lol

At my school, almost all of the gamers play MW2 constantly. I am not one of them.

Jesus, that article was full of fail. Its the kinda thing that glorifies fanboyism. It would have sold better if it was a multi-plat.

What about people that own both PS3 and 360? The majority of people do.

"Remedy, when your ready, PS3 owners will be here, waiting"

FAIL.

I remember reading at the Republic ''Alan Wake is nothing like Heavy Rain. Heavy Rain is nothing but a movie. Alan Wake will be so much better.'' Yeah, and Sony fanboys hype their games.

any upcoming 360 exclusive is a AAA game for them. they said that about metro 2033, alan wake, splinter cell...

it might've sold better if it was multiplatform. it probably deserves more sales though

''Banamama Fun Time, Pshhh, AAA all the way babes.''

You know somehow I can't take this seriously. Could it have something to do with being on a playstation site?

it's not an online FPS so of course it's not going to sell on the 360... Just sayin let's all be honest we all know the people who play 360...

No, your just another, "360 has only shooters" drone. Guess how many copies Fable 2 sold.

He says that because Shooters are dominant on the 360.
By that I mean, shooters do the best. That's no secret. Microsoft is doing what makes the most money.

Well dude, shooters are the most popular genre on BOTH consoles. The best selling 360 game is Halo 3, the best selling PS3 game is MW2. He is doing the equivalent of 360 fanboys that say "PS3 has no games".

Yes shooters are mostly popular on both consoles. But non-shooters genres sell better on PS3. While Microsoft is heavily focus on shooters, Sony brings us other genres.

lol i'd say alan wake would have sold pretty shitty on both consoles consdiering it was released so close to RDR.

Facepalm

You realize that at the time, Alan Wake was just as big as RDR. Before they were released of course.

Stigma, its no secret that the PS3 has a more diverse library of games. Other genres do in fact sell better.

JRPG. Singular. We have Lost Odyssey, that's it. Don't even try to call Blue Dragon a competent JRPG because it's not.

But you're right. The 360 has good shooters, RTS's, WRPG's, and one good JRPG.

Nope, COD outsells all other PS3 titles. It's no secret that FPS games are the highest selling on both consoles. This whole 360 has only shooters is a misconception created by PS3 fanboys. Really the 360 doesn't actually have that many exclusive shooters. All it really has are Halo, Gears, Left 4 Dead, and Metro 2033. And maybe a random PC port here and there that isn't really good anyways. If Alan Wake wasn't released the same day as RDR it would've sold like 3 times better.

Yeah. It was because of RDR that it didn't sell.
But, It is known that the 360 has more shooters than the other 2 consoles, & FPS's do dominate the 360, & not just sales. Period. That's no secret, because that's what sales.
PS3 has more franchises though.

Would it have sold better on the PS3?
Probably not considering 78% of people would've though Heavy Rain & Alan Wake were the same thing.
