What are you talking about? MS didn't blow it at all.
Look what happened when Blu Ray got put on the PS3. It drove the price sky high and lead to less sales.
It's a much smarter move to use cheap technology for MS since it made them mad profit.
And really, I'm sure they don't care people need multiple discs as opposed to adding blu ray.
Thankfully, Blu Ray today on the $299 PS3's is a super great deal, but it cost Sony and hurt them a lot th...
that they didn't spend too much time focusing on "making it work" and less time making solid gameplay. From what I hear MAG is very standard. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I'm hoping gameplay considers the 255 other players since I hear the 256 is an illusion since you only see oh-so-many players on-screen.
Killzone players are smaller in number but very, very devoted to the game I find. If the game was so casual-friendly then I would expect more casual players, but that is not the case.
And in all honesty, I like it that way. I feel tense when I see some noob playing as the tactitian, throwing spawn grenades in enemy bases, beside enemy spawns, beside their OWN spawns, on TOP of the objectives, etc.
I always found spawn points to be very tactical, hidden away from the ...
Don't care about this random website, but good to see K2 get recognition. I'm expecting many more random websites having their picks approved which will lead to a pretty annoying N4G visit for the remainder of the month.
Uncharted 2 already won for the majority, and IMO is much more deserving
According to Bowling.
Frankly, I find the dual wielding of shotguns to be a little absurd anyway, especially ones that are as overpowered as these ones.
Also, this list is pretty strange. One Man Army #1? More like Stopping Power.
Never ran into Danger Close users, but Stopping Power is definitely overused. It makes kills way too easy. They need to tone down SP from whatever it is at-- I think right now it's at x1.4, it needs to be x1.2.

But Sony has absolutely no obligation.
If this was something like Uncharted 2 I can see Sony needing to take a role but even then it would be primarily Naughty Dog's problem.
The problems in MW2 are due to Activision/Infinity Ward's piss-poor decision to avoid making a beta/poor testing.
The amount of problems have made this game bite the dust temporarily. I'm sure everything will iron out eventually, but it makes someone of Infinity Ward's caliber look ...
But I heard it's breaking even from a recent article which is good.
As long as Sony sells the consoles they can at least profit on things like software, downloadable content, Premium service, Home, etc.
Eventually they will profit off of the hardware but one would have to assume they knew the risks of making a do-it-all console for that $599 price tag.
Why does one game, a PS3 exclusive no less, get approved for winning best shooter of the year on one site? Tell me, why is this news worthy? It's nothing more than a PS3-ego booster, should all games that win in random website categories get their own article too?
At least make an article addressing IGN UK's End-of-the-Year awards instead of picking out Killzone 2 for no reason at all.

The variety you mention is MW2 is pretty standard in a lot of ...
I've never seen such jaw-dropping graphics in my life. The engine is truly ahead of its time and is at its prime.
Too bad I don't have a PC capable of running the godly Crysis.
Didn't see that coming. Poor Aussies
Now if only they can do that with online play...
The internet makes for a small amount of general gamers, most of which do not know much about games unless they see it in an ad or whatnot. Bet you the majority will know something like Call of Duty 4 but not something like Okami.
What correlation does sales even have with "trolling websites defending PS3 exclusives"?
If somebody is defending something, they have the right to do so. Since when is that trolling? Trolling would be going on to unrelated 360 vi...
I mean, I know Costco has awesome gaming bundles (mine does anyway), but I had always thought it was Costco doing the bundling.
This is a very nice move by Sony. Needs a catchy name though... Paddys?
(Perfect ADDitions for Your System? XD)
Not sure about being best game ever made, but it sure as hell will be most played and #1 on XBL.
I don't doubt MS or Bungie's initiative. The major Halo games have always been successful, exciting, and addictive. Reach is a step in a new direction in the Halo world but I am 99% it will be a success. There are franchises you just can't doubt including and Halo is one of them.
Also this article is so meh. Thanks for stating the obvious abstract360.

All games sell better over time, not just PS3 exclusives.
There is no need to make excuses for Pachter. This guy gets paid for random predictions that any yahoo can make. Personally, I did not expect "ZOMG 10 MILLION!" sales for Uncharted 2, but they did manage to sell a million real quick.
Regardless of sales UC2 is the GOTY and a tremendous PS3 exclusive. I don't really consider the sales lackluster. The game can always sell better, and I do believe it de...
This is why we have betas. Public betas.
Additionally, this harms buyers more than the devs since they've already made millions off the game.
I suppose, but IW deserves this for not having a public beta.
We have already been through this. Killzone 2 trailer did not match up to the final product. Not that the final product was bad, but the trailer did not match up to the gameplay, nor is it supposed to. A lot of people hyped it as in-game. Trailers never look as good as the real thing and Killzone is no different.
Both Killzone 2 and Demon's Souls were represented in their respected genres. They just didn't win...
And I'm having trouble trying to read the rest of your post.
Why are you mentioning Fallout 3, Oblivion, and GTA IV for PS3 GOTY when they are multiplatform?
Just reading what people say. Sure I'll play it for myself eventually but right now I don't have access to the beta.
It's not like I haven't heard good comments about it too, so I'm not going to ignore negative comments, especially since I hear the same ones which concerns me. Gotta take the good with the bad and be more open minded.
skv007 said it best. With that many players the game may make you feel insignificant which really can take away from playing the game. ...
