That's the beauty of it and why it works.
For me, I skipped GranTurismo5 and ModNation Racers but snagged up Motorstorm Apocalypse & WipEout HD. 4 exclusive racers, all VASTLY different, and I bought the two that I had an itch for at the time. No obligation to buy them all, don't have to justify my purchase(s) with planetxbox360.com style "top 5 reasons" lists or pre-order/beta stats, lol. Just in and out. Next.
Nah, MS & Nintendo are already chomping at the bit just to say "2nd" to some old PS2 and PSP games. Enjoy MGS3, Peace Walker, RE4 and Code Veronica for the first time this fall. Jump in! To 2004.

And the Move has ITS OWN DEVELOPMENT KIT on the PS Store with free discounts for schools and people who want to use it for educational/teaching applications etc. Do some homework. http://blog.us.playstation....

How can a "me-too" company be the only one with blu-ray and true stereoscopic 3D in 2011, lol?
Look, I like Nintendo, but the Wii isn't even HD and the online Wii friend codes are a dinosaur. You can just as easily say Nintendo is copying Sony and MS with their new Wiis and the 3DS since the Wii supports neither 3D, HD or anything resembling a relevant online service.
I don't see the relevance of the opening paragraph either. Nearly 5 years for PS3 to have success?! As in nothing from 2006-2011? Seems every year they like to push the goal posts back just a lil' further. What is it with people living under rocks always needing to write about the world from the view of their basement window, lol?
PSP is currently outselling the 3DS two-to-one http://p...
Toys'R'Us had the game on sale for $14.99 brand new just the other week and I still didn't want it. I'd rather buy 5 dynamic themes lol. Sorry Ninja Theory.

Microsoft's XBox 360 does 3D too y'know. Pretty sure I've played Crysis 2 and Black Ops in 3D on the 360 recently. There's also a lil' device called the Nintendo 3DS.
TV's like Panasonic's new 60" upconvert everything to 3D as well without any resolution loss, so what's with the fanboy soapbox about Sony specifically struggling to stay relevant when so many companies and big names (Michael Bay, James Cameron) all have th...
No, you're wrong. Look up some NPDs and financial reports. Even vgchartz isn't far off. Both Mass Effects are just under 2.5 million each on the 360. I don't even think it's at 500,000 on the PS3. That's not Uncharted territory. It's not even Demon's Souls territory on the PS3. Dwalls is right, so there's nothing to "Killzone yeah right" about. Love Mass Effect 2, but it is what it is.
Dark days for 360 journalism when you have so little to play that you're relegated to trolling about $5 pre-order receipts for games that are still months away. Do you tape your October/November receipts to your mirror too so you can look at them every morning, lol? Gonna be a l-o-o-o-o-o-n-g summer on N4G from bored XBox.com sites.
I remember those headlines, lol! Whatever integrity gaming journalism had died in 2008 with all the day 1 harping about LBP, yet the game went on to do almost 5 million which makes it one of the best selling debuts ever. More than Fable, Mass Effect, God of War, Uncharted, even COD1...yet where are the retractions? Nowhere.
Fast forward 3 years and XBox-centric sites are still at it, writing FUD about pre-orders and betas every other week. Why the #%^& would I preorder a ...
Heavy Rain greatly exceeded sales and metascore expectations, scored much industry praise from CliffyB and Molyneux to Sessler, has an industry leading 72% completion rate (it's 20% for most games) http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.co... , and is still winning awards in 2011 htt...
Article wasn't without problems. They included PC games like Gears1 and Mass Effect1, yet ignored the 94 avg MetalGearSolid4 all together while saying MS' "best rated titles beat out Sony's." Sure, when the cherry pickers leave games off the list and include multiplats, lol. Besides MGS4, they also left off the 91 avg GOW Collection. That's when 'oops' becomes 'derp'.
Even their SCEA vs MS averages mean nothing this gen', as SCE...
NCAA? Really? You never heard of Portal2, Dead Space2, LA Noire, MassEffect2, Mortal Kombat this year?
Far as DTS, the devs didn't lie. Odds are your setup is wrong. Auto scan your audio again from the XMB. Certain high quality audio needs an HDMI connection to your receiver. Optical isn't compatible with true HD audio. You talk about your 7.1 as a multiplat deciding factor when the 360 doesn't support DTS, Dolby True HD or LCPM in the 1st place. Look it up on Dig...
@fullmetal297
Uh, you talk about "something wrong in the head", meanwhile there's no such thing as Crackdown 3, and KZ3 has sold over a million and a half, not "barely 500k". Great bubble system N4G. Give him a sixth. *rollseyes*
This list fails anyways for including movie titles. Who at GamingBolt circled the date on their calender for Kung Fu Panda and Harry Potter games? Bionic Commando Rearmed, Brink, and June's non-sales of Child of...
@StarWolf
Ummmm...they patched KZ3 and yes now you can create your own rooms and edit player count, maps and all that. My god, half the people here don't even play the games they try to diss and they wind up looking like tools because of it. Even Lair, they patched the controls for that like 4 years ago dude, LOL! If you can't at least back up your trollage, don't say anything at all.
@muffins
What are you "Hahaha"ing over? Research is your friend, and research shows Metro, Alan Wake, Crackdown 2, Ninety Nine Knights, Fable 3, all their exclusives last year sold less than PS3 exclusives head to head like Yakuza, MAG, GOW, Heavy Rain. Even Halo Reach sold less than Gran Turismo 5.
I'll wait for your retraction.
@WashingtonCaopitals
PS3 game excuses?! Um, nice stealth troll attempt, but Shadows of the Damned is one the XBox360 too lol. When Jim Reilly said it bombed and it wouldn't get a sequel, he meant on BOTH platforms.
Console sales are great for newbs that don't own said console yet, but they mean less than nothing to people that already own said console and are thirsty for more games & IPs that don't involve dropping another Benjamin to buy a Kinect. I can't put NPD in my box and play it, there-in lies the problem of MS putting all their eggs in that basket.
I have no interest in car sims like Forza or GT, and I played the original Halo years ago. They're just phoning...
Pre-orders can be cancelled.
I've bought 13 games this year (11 new 2 used) and didn't pre-order a single one of them. Why is there a need to in 2011 with so many retailers? I can buy any game at Walmart at 12:01AM. Basing so much on someone's imaginary $5 reservation is stupid. Why throw away $10 and pre-order 2012's Mass Effect 3 and 201X's BioShock Infinite right now when I could just use it for other stuff in the meantime? You can't play a receipt...
@Jay
Whoa, before rumors start. Demon's Souls never went multiplat'. Can you buy it on PC/360/Wii/PSP/DS? No. L4D on the other hand...
Anyways, the "equal in genre leading games" angle is borked too. There's no 360 equivalent of LBP/Yakuza/GOW/HeavyRain/Starh awk/3D Dot/EyePet/DCUO/MAG/TwistedMet al/Last Guardian/Sly, even Afrika.
Heck, scratch Starhawk, just gimme a Warhawk doppelganger...a la Forza to GranTurismo. You can't...
