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.

Lame
This story is ranting incoherent junk backed by down right offensive dyed in the wool fanboyism.

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.

heyheyhey6232d 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!!!

socomnick6232d 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.

NineteenSeventyNine6232d 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.

ActionBastard6232d ago (Edited 6232d 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.

Mc1876232d ago (Edited 6232d 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.

heyheyhey6232d 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

butterfinger6232d ago (Edited 6232d 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!

ActionBastard6232d 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.

edgeofblade6231d 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.

butterfinger6231d ago

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

lh_swe6223d 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.

Spike476232d ago

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

JOLLY16231d 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.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio12d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
