LOL, you saying then that the 360 has sold like dogsh*t in 2008?
You must be aware that all year long, until the recent price drop of the 360, the PS3 has been globally outselling it. And at this present moment in time, just two weeks before the end of the year, both consoles (360 and the PS3) have now sold the same amount. So why does the PS3 need a price cut, when it's sold for 50 weeks out of 52 weeks the same number as the 360? And it did this at a higher price. I wonder how ...
Why do some people keep saying 2006 was 360's year (usually xbots, rather than PS3 fans, but some PS3 fans say it too). Of course the xbox 360 took 2006, the PS3 launched mid November of 2006 in North America, so Microsoft had no competition for the first ten and a half months.
In 2007, Microsoft also had no competition for the first quarter on a global front, as the PS3 didn't launch until the end of March 2007 in the rest of the world. After most console launches, history show...
Aquanox, your using VGChartz as your source for credible info. LOL. Tut tut. Microsoft's themselves say they didn't sell 7.9m in 2007 as VGChartz are reporting, take a look.

As of Dec 31st 2006, 10.4m xbox 360 sold. And then this link.
Perhaps in America you might be seeing lots of adverts for the PS3, but from my experience here in the UK, PS3 advertising has been a bit thin on the ground. I hope Cajun is correct and thats all change...
Cajun Chicken, have they?
Just asking, I didn't give you the disagree, its just I haven't seen one advert from Sony on TV or in a magazine for ages. I did hear they'd start in December in the UK with some big TV ad campaign. Its only 2nd Dec, there's still time, but they need to hurry up and get the message out for the christmas shoppers. All I keep seeing is 360 ads all the time, here, there and everywhere. Sony really need to take a lesson from MS in this area (the only area MS...
jaysquared,
The US is the biggest gaming market in the world is it?
This report says different.
http://uk.gamespot.com/news...
In 2007 the US was ranked 3rd, Europe 2nd. Europe is Sony land and Sony sold 5.5m PS3's in 14 months (april 2007 - may 2008). An approximate 6 months of sales using average monthly data gives you 2.3m, add that to 5.5m they where at in May, places th...
LOL
Oh yes, Riddick is back, I almost forgot about "Assault on Dark Athena". The original xbox game was great, wasted countless hours playing it on a friends xbox (p**sed him right off). I thought this sequel was lost in development limbo, but nice to see its back for a spring release, looking forward to it.
Ghostbusters game, hmmm, not convinced from what i've seen so far, really hope my 1st impressions are wrong, have to wait until its finished and see those reviews rol...
Again, another respectable score. Metacritic scores this now at 8.1/10. Who the hell says this game is a flop? Any 360 fanboys who come out with that one, just look at all the games on metacritic for the 360 that average around the 80% mark, are all those games flops as well?
Good score, that of 4.3/5 = 86%, definitely gonna get this game.
If they've managed to iron out some of the faults of the first game (which wasn't many), and improve on most game play elements, then this is definitely worth a look.
Edge magazine are harsh in their reviews. Most 360 owners rave about how great Mass Effect is, i've played it on the PC, it is good, not great, but very good. Well, Edge gave that game a 7/10 just like they've given the same score to this game. I'm not comparing these two games, how can you - different genres, but a...
Lets spin it this way then. The metacritic rating for this game at this moment in time is 77/100. Now take a look at all the 360 games that average between 75 and 80 on metacritic. Are you telling me that all those games were flops too, because if so, thats a lot of flops on the 360 then, huh.
LOL, fanboys like the above (PP) make me laugh.
Well its annoying, but it will probably still get a release with 2 to 3 weeks. I guess Europe has been effected more because Islam is fast becoming wide spread throughout Europe.

Sony don't want to offend anyone, they don't want bad press. Most people, muslims included probably wouldn't take offence, but you'll always get someone complaining though. So this...
This is edge, i've read it for years, and they adopt a policy of average games deserve a 5/10 score. Sounds harsh given the abundance today's of 8's and 9's. For them to give a 7 is like most other sites or magazines giving out an 8 or 8.5. They gave Mass Effect on the 360 a 7/10, and that was good, so looks like MS2 is good. Only a few games have received an Edge 10, (only a select few titles have received that), looks like LBP is everything its said to be, awesome.
I like infinity wards CoD's, as I didn't like number 3, and was gonna wait until next year for CoD6. But if this turns out to be a revamped CoD4 with a WW2 setting, with new perks and vehicles now present, and it plays just as well as number 4, is that really a bad thing? If thats the case, I might just buy it, if I can afford it. There's just so many good games coming out now, my wallet is starting to fill the pinch.
PSN this week not that great, although i might try the Motorstorm 2 demo. But considering i've just downloaded the 2.50 update which rocks by the way, PSN, xmb, everything seems to run that much quicker and smoother, and the account info option on the xmb is so much better, more streamlined. For that reason alone, i'll forgive Sony Europe this week for a lacklustre PSN update.
Colostomy = Delusional Fanboy (most here on N4G now it, even if you deny it)
VGC are a f**king joke and have been proved wrong multiple times.
MS clearly state 10.4m units were sold by the end of 2006.
http://www.microsoft.com/Pr...
VGC says 7,879,895 of Microsofts 360 console were sold in 2007. That makes 18.27m by the end of 2007, but Microsof...
Colostomy = delusional fanboy, LOL. You say, “VGC shows very clearly that the PS3 was outsold by the 360”. You pick VGC figures over Microsofts official figures, LOL. Your happy to use VGC in your 4.5 comment above. Sony’s official report shows 8.8m by end of 2007, they sold 1.2m PS3s in Nov/Dec of 2006, so 8.8-1.2=7.6, which VGC confirms. You say “Sony changed their reporting from shipped to sold”, but by using VGC your confirming that Sony’s sold figures are sold not shipped, you do realise...
Here we go again, to remind you Colostomy.

Microsoft's official figures show them selling 7.3m units in 2007

Yes, Mirrors Edge has exclusive content paid for by Sony, nothing wrong, I'll repeat, NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Its OK if Sony does it and its OK if MS does to IMO, perhaps you should read someones comments and com...
ON TOPIC, of course they wont charge for it. Oh hang-on, yes they do, its called an annual subscription. They take micro payments for loads of over things too. So, they compare this to Home and Sony? Hypocrites much?

Oner, welcome to the world of Colostomy. If counter arguments are made to his remarks, he either:
1. Repeats himself (as if this will make his point more valid), even if its already been counter argued.
2. Post ...
