Not the Bottom of the Ninth, But a Big At-Bat Coming For MLB 2K10

[PVarck31]

While I agree that good games equal sales, it seems like Take-Two is trying to make money off of MLB 2k in every way but making it a good game. Reading between the lines tells me that they are not interested in making it a good game, only making money off it somehow.

It's all about having a quality game.

According to VG Charts, if you compare 360 sales to PS3 sales, the numbers were actually very close, believe it or not.

I don't see one million, but it seems like PSP and PS2 sales still make up a huge portion of those sales.

IMO the key telling stat is PS3 sales here, where The Show outsold 2k by almost 4 times the amount of units.

Well I don't plan on getting a PS3 anytime soon no matter how bad of games 2k keeps on putting out. My 360 got the RROD the other day but it took about 4 years to do that. I love the 360 and plan on getting a new one not a PS3.

I am 100% no one at 2K has ever played baseball IRL ever. Other than programmers, they need to TAKE A YEAR OFF, come back with real designers and someone that's actually played baseball before.

I've been thinking about this idea as well. Imagine if Activision or UbiSoft decided to go into the sports gaming market and buy out 2K/Visual Concepts? It would be a huge move for the entire industry IMO...

...providing, of course, that Activision doesn't force VC/2K to design a plastic bat peripheral for their next baseball title... :P

A buyout wouldn't mean anything. What did MS do with High Heat?

Exactly.

They just desperately need competition.

The 360 numbers are from VG chartz, but keep in mind that these numbers were for mlb 2k7 on the 360 not counting the ps2,ps3,psp. The show numbers are from last years game which sold close to 700K only on the ps3. I'm sure that MLB the show 09 sold a lot more then that. Especially with the disapointment that 2k baseball has been, and the drop of price on the ps3..
