Microsoft To Win 2010?

Yes, it many only be early January, but Microsoft's strong showing at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is a clear sign that the company is not keen to rest on its laurels, and deliver a 2010 line up that could potentially eclipse the competition.

Microsoft and what army?

Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy 13 alone will ensure PS3 to have the best year and after the superb gaming year of 2009. Thats clearly no small feat.

In fact, why would anyone buy a 360. Why would anyone who has NOT bought a 360 in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, jump in in 2010. The line up is clearly inferior than 2007 and 2008. And is still not offering much.

Halo Reach = CRAP. owned.

At last, a video blog from someone who speaks sense on the matter!

Jonoc336000d ago

Like this one.

Oh come on. Microsoft to Win 2010?
You make it sound like it's some kind of rumour. WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHAT WILL HAPPEN. At least make it "Microsoft Will Win 2010" and justify why.

wii sport makes the wii the winner..

Now if you judge by quality, then GoW3 and Heavy Rain will make the ps3 the winner..

Either way the 360's best year was 2007

mastiffchild6000d ago

If they "win" 2010 do they get to keep it? Another day, another stupid article causing fanboy ructions on N4G over something unprovable and totally subjective. This isn't writing. This is barely worthy of a fanboy's blog just like "who won E3" or "who won GDC" articles. Pointless and unneeded crap.

All the consoles have great gamnes lined up for this year with the wii awaiting a new Zelda and new SMG and the exclusives for 360 and PS3 will be added to as we go on with both camps having stuff we can guess at likely to creep out at one point or another before next Xmas so even guessing at a "winner" rigfht now is beyond stupid when you have little to no idea what the final lione ups will look like.

As fopr our snakey friend below's assertion that no exclusive from Sony will be worthy of even competing with Reach(a game he can't possibly know a greta deal about btw)is symptomatic of what articles like this produce as comments-idiocy with no concept that people's tastes differ wildly-which is also why there can't ever be a "winner" of a year. It's a daft concept to begin with and writing whole articles about ti just illustrates that fact rather than makinhg it seem in any way possible or relevant to anyone or anything. Christ.

Saaking6000d ago

PS3 has more games (and imo better) so no, MS will once again loose.

killer88snake6000d ago

No sony exclusive coming out in 2010 is worthy of competing with Halo:Reach. Period.

@ Jonoc

Are you insane? You make no sense. They guy above you didnt mention sales. Unless in your eyes competetion=sales.

Settle down guy.

Jonoc336000d ago

He hasn't even seen the game yet, then obviously isn't saying that Halo: Reach will win in terms of game quality.

See what i'm trying to say?

YellowLightofDeath6000d ago

He's assuming. People make assumptions all the time. Hyping a game is natural. Just because he hasnt seen seen it, doesnt mean he cant make a prediction. Bungie has a good track record. Therefor, he's using that to make his statement.

Cenobia6000d ago

Ha, I hope that was sarcasm.

AKNAA6000d ago

"Bungie has a good track record."

ummm, of what? one genre?? one franchise?! same sh1t over and over?? I really see no difference from halo, halo 2, halo 3, or halo odst?!
some track record.... well, I suppose if your a halo fanboy, then of course your gonna hype up reach, why? cause you probably expect the same sh1t, except maybe(hopefully) with better graphics at least.

DMason836000d ago

Oh, you have to be a fanboy to appreciate the quality work that Bungie does? So I guess the millions upon millions of sales coupled with the critical acclaim doesnt mean anything to a fanboy like you then?

You're an idiot. Plain and simple. You don't have to be a fanboy to respect a developer.

mastiffchild6000d ago

Whatever. the snakey guy made a crude and fanboyish statement designed solely to rile people. Well done-it worked. sadly it misses the point in tht anyone can make a stinker-even Bungie or even Santa Monica. We don't know and guesses that are definitive like that can only be viewed with the supporition that they're propelled by fanboyism . If he's said I expect Reach to be the bets game this year bsed on my love of the previous work done by Bungie then fair enough but he didn't , was overly arrogant in his assertion and got the reaction he no doubt desired.

Why pretend anything other than that to be the case? I like both Halo AND GT. I love GOW as well as thinking SC:C and HR look amazing in different ways and you guys think writing all the other games off without knowing much about any of them or the game he's lauding is anything other than a bit of a fanboy dig? If yoo do then I have to wonder what you do think is fanboyism or arrogance meanwhile he knows exactly why he wrote what he did and possibly is laughing his snakey belly off about it-because the whole thing is so nilarious my sides may split. Seriously-you think what he said was a level headed comment? More fool you.

360 fanboys are just as bad as their PS3 opposition and you all know it so don't defend one while knocking the other lest you wish to be tarred wih the same brush. It's the "period" certainty that gives it away more than anything. The certainty that a game he hasn't seen or played will outdo a host of other games he hasn't seen or played-that's the comment you're defending as a fair point? Jebus.

sales do not equal quality. Wii sport is not goty... Nor wii fit or anything like that. Sales don't mean quality. Hannah Montana sells a lot of junk. You gonna jump on that band wagon too?

DMason835999d ago (Edited 5999d ago )

Notice how I said millions of sales COUPLED with critical acclaim. What you're doing is taking what I said out of context. Explain to me this: If a game sells 6 million copies, it critically acclaimed by almost every game reviewer and by the majority of the people playing it, and the multiplayer is still being played by millions two and a half years after a release, how is it a stinker? How can you honestly tell me that the game is junk? If you call that junk, then you have the highest standards of anyone I know. And I'm just using Halo as a reference. This pertains to every game of the same caliber.

It seems to me that you have blinders on sir.

Dev8 ing5999d ago

Hana montana sells lots of cds, but that doesn't mean they are any good. Sure if you are a young girl with no reference frame she is awesome but mature people who have listened to music for a while and have a reference frame think she is crap. Which type of person are you?

IdleLeeSiuLung5999d ago

See this is the misconception, because you don't think it is good doesn't mean there are others that don't think it is.

Wii Sports is among the best motion controlled game. Hannah Montana is greatest music for young teens.

In each their respective genres, the most sold products tend to be the best.

So yes, I think sales is a good measurement of what the general public thinks about a product since they deemed it worthy to leave some hard earned money on the table for it!!!

Jinxstar5999d ago

Your right 1000$ gift bags and bribery and sponsorship don't buy acclaim. I bet there are tons a outlets that's would say "for a kids cd Hannah Montana is good" just like "halo is halo" it's all in the audience you market to. Halo is a great game if u like halo. Just like Hannah Montana is great if u like it... Plenty of outlets will praise or flame it and people will call sites biased and blah blah blah. It's the same for all mediums. To me though the comparison is in how commercial the game is. Hannah is not good she is marketed and has a specific audience that go insane for her. Kinda how the halo audience acts for halo... That's my comparison

IdleLeeSiuLung5999d ago

You mean like how the PS3 is marketed towards the PS2 crowd?

thereapersson5999d ago (Edited 5999d ago )

"Hyping games is normal"

So by your stupid, one-sided fanboy logic, any Sony fan who hypes a game to ridiculous levels is completely in the right, with no possibility that said hyping will be later brought up in a sales argument started by 360 fanboys -- with said game(s) being then lambasted because they were *gasp* HYPED?

GTFO with that bullsh1t

Jinxstar5999d ago

Sony didn't give PS2 gamers 1000$ shwag bags.

Should truck companies market to farmers? Yes

Should hybrid cars market to long distance commuters? Yes.

Should hannah market to little girls? Yes

All I am saying is I feel Halo is a sellout franchise that caters to its audience...

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.
