Xbox 360 sales fell by half in comparison to last week. By next week the 360 should be back to averaging around 7,000.

The intial hype of a JRPG in Japan for the 360 has never lasted for more than 2 weeks and seeing that the sales for the 360 fell by half, I'm pretty sure the PS3 will outsell the 360 next week in Japan.

The Xbox 360 outselling the PS3 in Japan for a few weeks out of the year is a nice effort, but sadly it's not enough because of White Knight Chronic...

I don't see what the fuss is all about. It's a pretty interesting commercial, but I think that the Xbox 360 commercial from last year was probably just a tad bit better ( the commercial with the guy parachuting, and near the end there's people on a couch/chair playing the 360, etc....)

The main reason why I hope that The Last Remnant does well is because it's coming out on the PS3 at a later date. If the 360 version bombs, hopefully changes and upgrades can be made to the PS3 version.

The screenshots looked pretty good, but right now I think White Knight Chronicles looks a lot better (graphically).

In October it's LBP and Fallout 3 for me. That website didn't list DeadSpace but I'm picking that up too in October. I'll get Far Cry 2 and Motorstorm in December because I'll need to give my wallet a break.

As far as Bioshock goes, I'm putting Bioshock for PS3 on hold until early next year because PS3 exclusives and new games coming out this Fall have a priority over a year old port at this point in time for me.

I definantly think that SOCOM Confrontation has the po...

I had the most fun with GTA: San Andreas. GTA4 got boring before I beat the game and I lost interest in the game.... the Missions in GTA4 didn't have enough variety in them to me.

I played San Andreas for around 2 years before I even got bored with it because there was just soooo much stuff to do in that game and the game map was so huge, but I played GTA4 for about a month and haven't touched it since the end of May.

If GTA4 had everything that San Andreas had and ...

Even if Left 4 Dead does come to the PS3, I'm not getting it because it looks extremely average and nothing about it stands out enough.

Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 both look and feel like they are EPIC games. Killzone 2 has that whole "Theater of War" aspect, it's very cinematic, the graphics and detail in KZ2 is just amazing. The sheer size and scale of both Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 is just mind-boggling and they are on a much higher level in production value than L...

An Article like this might have been appropriate in 2007 whenever the PS3 was getting bashed on left and right and wasn't getting any love at all, but it's 2008 now and it's time to move on. Almost everyone knows that Sony made some mistakes with the PS3 but articles like this are just "So last year".

And I don't know what the heck this guy is talking about when he says the PS3 is a "poorly designed product", if you ask me the PS3 is most sleekest and sexiest ...

I think that the next generation consoles should have some sort of disc medium. Right now I doubt that Sony would use Blu-ray in the Playstation 4 because Sony has introduced a new disc format for each of it's consoles and I doubt that they would stick with Blu-ray with their new console, but I could be wrong.

Next generation I think that all video games (Full Games) will probably be avaliable for download instead of just a few of them AND there will be a disc format medium for t...

The game looks absolutely amazing and it's a HUGE leap from the first Resistance....Resistance 2 will definantly give Gears 2 a run for it's money when it comes to graphics, that's for sure.

And you've just gotta love Insomniac because those guys stay on the grind all the time and have released big titles on the PS3 single every year.

My second most anticipated game of 2008 is almost here and I just can't wait.

Personally I don't think that the Xbox 360 will hit a million units in Japan this generation. Whenever a JRPG hits Japan the sales increase for a week or two and then the sales fall off.

I think that once Final Fantasy XIII hits Japan on the PS3, it's gonna be pretty much over for the 360 in Japan because Japanese gamers will be buying the console that has Final Fantasy because it's one of the most anticipated games.

Also you can't forget about those Final Fantasy A...

The fact that HOME resembles The SIMS so much definantly makes me think that it could be a system seller. I mean, millions of casual gamers play The SIMS, and HOME + LBP + EyePet could definantly have some huge potential for the PS3 with casual gamers as the PS3's price drops in the long run.

This is why I just love Amazon.com and why I use it so much, you can get tons of stuff on Amazon way below retail prices, and it's the only place where I buy my Blu-ray DVD's. Amazon sells almost everything on the site below retail cost, so it's no surprise to see them selling the Bluetooth PS3 headsets and PS3 Keypad for discounted prices.

Looking at game comparisons between 3rd party multiplatform games on the Xbox 360 and PS3 is really a waste of time.

Just look at Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, MGS4, Heavy Rain, and Killzone 2 and you'll see which system is capable of better graphics. Plus, I'm not wasting my money on this game and if I ever do get it, I wont get it until it hits the bargain bin.

I really don't know why Ubisoft changed the direction of the Splinter Cell series...I liked the way Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell Pandora Tommorrow, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory was because it reminded me more of Metal Gear Solid's gameplay and to me they were the best Splinter Cell games.... I think Ubisoft should have just kept Conviction similiar to those games.

I think that the first Splinter Cell game on the Xbox was originally going to be an Xbox exclusive, but the series ...

Honestly I really don't care that much for HOME, but I do know that there's been a ton of people still anticipating it and I hope they enjoy it. I'm more hyped up for the PS3 exclusives, but HOME is just a nice touch. Hopefully the Video Sharing feature will be in the Final Version of HOME though.

But the features that can be implemented in HOME is what has me more interested, such as broadcasting E3 from HOME and possibly broadcasting other video game shows like TGS and E for Al...

I think that if RARE was making games for the Wii and Nintendo right now, they would be swimming in money.

Microsoft acquiring RARE was a pretty good move on their part to expand their game audience, but I think that RARE defiantly had better days with Nintendo.... heck, the last games that I played that was developed by RARE was the Donkey Kong Country series on the SNES....*sigh* those were the good ol' days.

Anyways, If that achievement is a cheap shot at Sony, i...

The U.K. is still a majority 360 territory, but it's been very interesting seeing the PS3 outsell the 360 in Europe even when the 360's price was cut earlier this year over there and made it cheaper than the Wii.

From what I've been noticing, the gap between 360 and PS3 game sales are relatively small in Europe and there's some instances where the PS3 version in Europe sells more than the 360 version. The gap between the PS3 version and 360 version of a game in the U.S. has gotte...

Yeah, I wish that EA would bring back BLACK and come out with BLACK 2 or something. BLACK was one of my most favorite FPS games on the PS2 even though it was short as hell...but that game definantly pushed the PS2 when it came to graphics though.

I've had Iron Man on Pre-order for a little over a month now. The Incredible Hulk, Indiana Jones the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Dark Knight are the movies I can't wait to get my hands on before the end of this year too.

Obviously Microsoft cares less about the consumer and more about money. Microsoft is Nickel and Diming people with Add-ons like the Wifi Adapter that should already be built in the 360 to begin with, then Microsoft releases the 360 already knowing of it's hardware issues just to get ahead of the PS3 and Wii.

Sony actually cares about the consumer becaue they go beyond and give you stuff you thought you would never use. When I bought my PS3, I thought I would never use the Wifi, b...
