Action Bastard's Moment of Truth

Microsoft fanboys make me sick. You understand? SICK. I'll put my cards out on the table. The 360, IMO, is an utter piece of shit. It's a machine that nickels and dimes you into thinking you actually have something other than a Netflix streaming DVD player. Rather than focus on the games released on 360 this year that are fail (Ninja Blade, Uno Rush, Race Pro, Dishwasher, etc), I'd rather laugh at how scared the PS3 has made them. Hi Bloodmask.

Sony's announced lineup, has them clinging to the sales of North America and North America alone. The PS3 outselling the Wii in Japan is no big deal. The Wii outselling the PS3 is hilarious, but the PS3 outselling for week #5 is nothing special. The PS3 dominating Europe and Japan, with the exception of the UK, doesn't count because it's not North America. Which reminds me...when the hell did we become analysts? Or give 2 shits about sales numbers or Metacritic scores? Remember when you would play a game and tell a buddy to check it out without reciting its Metacritic score or sales numbers? You little 360 bitchboys need to think about why you play the games. So you can talk shit and brag about textures or resolutions? Or because they're fun?

Wait for GDC...to see Sony and Nintendo generate more buzz than anything MS could muster to show. Now it's wait for E3. For some reason, Corkys seem to think Microsoft is going to unload. By all means, they will. But it will be multiplatform games, rehashes for XBLA or the damn near vaporware Alan Wake. Meanwhile...the PS3 lineup will be exclusive after exclusive that people will want. But you're already aware of that. That's why Halo Wars is your new best friend. You need something to cling onto. But what will it be when the PS3 surpasses the 360? What then? Will it not matter because the Xbox 720 has been released and you've moved onto a new puppet master?

Now run along and make a recipe or quiz for this one.

God I hate them all.

EDIT: You forgot HALO WARZ!!! (Nevermind Star Ocean 4, Tales, Banjo, Race Pro or Ninja Blade). And when Tales releases on PS3 and sales skyrocket and when Star Ocean 4 is released on PS3 and sales skyrocket, only then they fall back on install base.

heyheyhey6210d ago

it seems Killzone 2 not selling GeOW-level numbers has become the argument to plug 360 fanboy's insecurity about their pathetic 2009 line-up... however irrelevant or unrelated those sales figures might be to the 360's gaming offerings

the funny thing is.. Killzone 2 will end up being better than any 360 exclusives released this year

but it's not like the 360 fanboys are missing out on a quality game right? after all... teh salez!!!! teh salez wrnt Halo syle!!! it muzt teh suck!!!

socomnick6210d ago

Kz2's mediocre numbers are just used to prove 360 fanboys point that the sony brand, and sony franchises are far far inferior to 360 tittles when it comes to popularity. Sony brand, and sony franchises are really unpopular and will eventually die out. How the mighty have fallen.

NineteenSeventyNine6210d ago

I am indeed a 360 fanboy. Now that we have that debate out of the way. . .

The 360 has 5 AAA (90% or higher) exclusives: Mass Effect, Forza 2, Halo 3, GOW1 & 2.

The PS3 has 4 (a smaller number than five): Killzone 2, MLB 09: The Show, MGS4, and LBP. The Wii also has 4 AAA exclusives so congrats on finally catching the "inferior" system. :D Let's continue!

The 360 has 139 games rated 80% or higher. The PS3 has 97. The 360 obviously has the best games. Period.

And what about exclusives that people will want? Halo 3 -> 10 mil. Killzone 2 -> 1 mil. Just because the 360 is RROD city doesn't mean the PS3 suddenly has better games.

I can't wait to hear how you'll spin this. And what's the deal with this incoherent blog? Looks like someone wasn't hugged enough as a child.

ActionBastard6210d ago (Edited 6210d ago )

"The 360 has 139 games rated 80% or higher. The PS3 has 97. The 360 obviously has the best games. Period."

Out of how many total games? When you do the math and percentages, you see the PS3 has a higher percentage of 80% or higher.

"And what about exclusives that people will want? Halo 3 -> 10 mil. Killzone 2 -> 1 mil."

How long has Halo 3 been on the market (forget the brand name)? Hahahaha. And you wanna see me spin? Jesus, do you work for Fox News? Your mom hugged me plenty as a child, no worries.

Mc1876210d ago (Edited 6210d ago )

The 360 has tons of games so by default there will be more with 80% or higher.

Don't worry by march of next year we will have 6 or 7 AAA games Uncharted2 and GoW3 say hello.

Most of Halo 3's 10 million (which I think is exaggerated by MS)is probably re-buys from scratched copies or one that melted in place while in the 360, lol.

heyheyhey6210d ago

Mass Effect and GOW1 aren't exclusive... look up exclusive in the dictionary if you disagree

if history repeats itself.. Halo 3 and GOW2 won't exclusive for much longer either

and out of those 139 games that aren't on PS3... how many are available on PC, PS2 or are rehashed XBLA games that can be played via an emulator?

and how many prospective AAA exclusives does the 360 have on the horizon? a big, fat zero

the PS3 on the other hand... i can count at least 5 for this year

now let's go back to sales shall we? that's your forte after all

butterfinger6210d ago (Edited 6210d ago )

There is no need to spin the numbers you provided, you just didn't provide the complete information. The 360 had a one year head start on the PS3 and Wii, because MS was scared to pit their baby against Sony head to head which resulted in the highest failure rate in consumer electronics history. In that one year time frame, MS released some games for their console, imagine that! Nobody cares if they have more, because we all know they had more time to do so and most of their "exclusives" can be played on PC as well (hello, Mass Effect and Gears; soon to include Gears 2 and Halo 3). The percentage of quality games is what matters, and that is where the 360 fails. The PS3 even has the highest rated exclusive (LittleBigPlanet) between the two consoles. http://wowriot.gameriot.com...
Now, you are correct about Halo 3 continuing to sell well, but who cares? Are you getting a dollar for each copy sold? Are you getting a better Halo experience because of it? I know you're not getting more AAA exclusives, so what's the point? You shouldn't be proud to be a 360 fanboy, or a fanboy of any console, but you should put all of the facts out there when running your mouth.

@AB - I appreciate it, and I'm sorry I kept it going as long as I did. We're back to square one as far as I'm concerned now. See you around the threads!

ActionBastard6210d ago

We got off on the wrong foot. I was/am a d!ck and apologize. Too many times I let my temper and gift of Internet anonymity de-evolve me to the point of silliness. Just wanted you to know. Peace.

edgeofblade6209d ago

Dead god. What the hell is wrong with you people. Both side are utter batshit crazy. If N4G actually enforced their rules about fanboys, you would all burst into flames for being total f*ck wads.

360 is doing well. So is PS3. Get over it...

...and start setting your eyes on taking out Nintendo. They are the cancer on the industry, not over-confident, number-spinning PR. If you children can't get along, the Wii is going to run rings around you while you keep fighting the wrong enemy. Then everyone will be waggling retards because that's what they think we want.

Honestly, listen to yourselves some time. You aren't clever... just really really deluded.

butterfinger6209d ago

Ironically you are one of the more annoying fanboys on this site. lmao.

lh_swe6201d ago

Uncharted is the ultimate action adventure game, Resistance 2's mutiplayer is beyond sublime and Ratchet and Clank migh be the best platformer on the market. Besides I play your beloved ME and Gears on the PC and I must say it feels a great deal better.

The sales argument is pretty pathetic to be honest. Most fanboys don't even realize other than GeOW and HALO none of the other games sell near the amount that those two have. Bioshock even won GOTY and had only sold 2.2 million or so physical copies.

Spike476210d ago

Rarely do we see an author of a blog on N4G.com speak so much truth.

JOLLY16209d ago

I don't play for graphics, I don't play for numbers, I play for fun. I don't care about head starts (ala ps2) I care that the console I play on has the most fun and interactive games. So on that note, I love the 360.

Capcom Says Pragmata Sold 1 Million Copies in 2 Days

Pragmata has sold 1 million copies in two days, Capcom has announced.

asad1974h ago

Capcom is the best developer of all time. Consistent hit over many years .

DivineHand1254h ago

I didn't know it came out last Friday, or I would have bought the game. I will try again for this upcoming weekend.

CrimsonWing694h ago

Im really digging it. It reminds me of games from the PS2 era, not visually or how it plays, but like the spirit of it. If you were around for that golden age of gaming, you’ll get what I mean when you play this.

LucasRuinedChildhood3h ago

Have you tried Kanitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess (also Capcom)? That feels like a PS2-era Capcom game.

The_Hooligan3h ago

Agreed! The art style is amazing in that game. I bought it immediately after I played the demo but haven't started it lol

robtion19m ago

I know what you mean. I think it really feels like Vanquish, with some Dead Space and Binary Domain thrown in. So maybe more PS3 era but yes it is great.

isarai_lee4h ago

The next thing I'm mine when I've had my fill of crimson desert. A nice linear action game to contrast the open ended 😗👌

jznrpg3h ago

CD is so big I’ll play it all year and squeeze shorter games inbetween

jznrpg3h ago

I preordered it long ago. Going to start it later this evening

solideagle, maybe the article is wrong but it mentions BG3 as the other.

CrimsonWing694h ago

It’s good, but I’m getting tired of seeing how overrated it’s getting.

andy852h ago

It just wasn't for you in that way i guess. Can't really argue with it when it wins all the awards and it's the highest rating by players of all time

1nsomniac2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I thought this game was a load of rubbish. Trying too hard to be art(sy) by people who don’t really understand art but want to make it look like they do. Found it obvious and shallow and just not a fun game. Just seemed like every relentless second they were clutching at trying to feed this superior narrative… the irony being that’s kind of what I’m doing now… maybe that’s art imitating art….

dveio2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Didn't know the Golden Joystick fan votum was considered one of the "major awards"?

I always thought it's "only" the Big Four - VGA, Bafta, GDC and DICE.

Nonetheless, congrats to Clair Obscur!
