The 360 is not going to win the console war and it's that simple.
The PS3 has sold more units in Japan and just recently the PS3 surpassed the 360 in sales in Europe even after the 360 had been out for a year earlier and even after Microsoft dropped the price of the PS3 in Europe in March or April.
The Playstation 3's biggest game titles haven't even been released yet and the big PS2 user base is just too much for Micrsoft to compete with. If every single PS2 own...
I hope that Apple will come out with some games like that for the Ipod Touch or something.
If Apple released a Game Console (they better not) there might even be a chance that I would buy it, but it would probably be expensive as hell... probably $700+ dollars. But, I think that 3 game console manufacturers out on the market is enough, and 4 game consoles would become too crowded.
I wouldn't trust any hardware built by Microsoft even if it was a handheld. Microsoft has already shown how bad they are with hardware with the Xbox 360. The PSP and DS will always dominate no matter what Micrsoft does.
What else is new, it's typical Microsoft for you.
You know what else is misleading? Xbox 360 console sales, that's what. And the reason why is because a lot of Xbox 360 owners have purchased multiple Xbox 360 consoles, possibly 2 or 3 different 360 consoles because their 360 RROD on them and everytime Microsoft introduced a newer 360 model with a new chip, some of them bought ANOTHER 360. I think that the "real" Xbox 360 console unit sale number is around 16-17 millio...
I have the 60GB PS3 and right now my PS3's hard drive is half used up and I would love to have a Official External Playstation Hard drive... the only thing about an Official External Hard drive is that it probably wont be too cheap because people would HAVE to buy that External hard drive, just like Xbox 360 owners HAVE to buy the Microsoft Hard drives. But at least us PS3 owners can buy any Internal hard drive we want without being restricted to just one company.
But these PS3...
The NTSC 60GB PS3 has FULL Backwards compatibility will nearly ALL PS1 and PS2 games because it has the Emotion Engine Chip.
The PAL 60GB PS3 and the NTSC 80GB PS3 can play around 80% of PS1 and PS2 games because it uses Software Emulation for Backwards Compatibility.
That's good. I'm glad that GTA4 beat out that overhyped game Halo 3. GTA4 is a game that actually deserved the hype.
I'm in the U.S., but I hope that Europe does get the Special Edition too because everyone should be able to get the Special Edition in there own respective region.
That Special Editon sure will have a HEFTY price tag in Europe. I already pre-ordered my Special Edition, and it's definanlty worth it for the die-hard Metal Gear fan.
Killzone 2 needed to be delayed because of Resistance 2 in the Fall. Sony did not need to release 2 high profile shooters within just a few months of each other.
Resistance 2 will be the PS3's biggest shooter for 2008, and Killzone 2 will be the PS3's biggest shooter for 2009. It's all about business and delaying Killzone 2 to early 2009 was the best decision.
But, I'm still more hyped about Killzone 2 than Resistance 2 though.
Oh yea, Killzone 2 i...
Well, I guess Killzone 2 did get pushed to 2009. However, I'm just glad that it's coming out early 2009 and not mid-late 2009 though.
Delaying Killzone 2 to early 2009 was probably the best decision because of Resistance 2 coming in November, and 2 high profile game titles coming like Killzone 2 and Resistance near the same time frame, it would affect sales.
I'm a little disappointed that Killzone 2 didn't make a 2008 release because I was expecting it this year...
I already knew that the PS3 was selling well in Europe, but I didn't know that the PS3 had surpassed the 360 in sales in Europe though.
Wow. I guess people are willing to pay more for a superior product. And Microsoft even dropped the price on the 360 in Europe back in March I think, and the PS3 is still outselling it!!
The PS2 user base is just too large for Microsoft to compete with and PS2 owners are upgrading to PS3's.
It's only a matter of tim...
I seriously doubt that Halo Wars will be as successful as Halo 3. RTS games really aren't that big on consoles.
The Xbox consoles sure wouldn't be anything without Halo that's for sure.... Well, here comes all the Mountain Dew Ad's and other crap again...typical Microsoft gimmicks to sell a game.
Seriously, what was the point of Gametrailers posting that video.
The Xbox 360 verison of Iron Man looks completely washed out.
But, the truth is that the Playstation 3 produces better graphics than the Xbox 360. PS3 exclusives have better graphics than ANY Xbox 360 game because they were developed specifically for the Playstation 3, and anyone that doesn't believe me, go out and compare the graphics of GT5 Prologue to Forza and Project Gotham on the Xbox 360, An...
I think that Killzone 2 is coming out in 2008.
Yes, there hasn't been hardly any news about Killzone 2, but I think that Guerrilla Games and Sony has been quiet about Killzone 2 for a reason. There have been a lot of upcoming PS3 games that have been very quiet and not much has been said about them, but to me, that just makes the anticipation for the game even greater.
Also, Sony did say that they had a "huge" announcement at E3 too.
Rig...
That article was a sorry excuse for journalism, but anyways, I think that the reason why Blu-Ray sales have slumped is because of the United States Economy right now. Anybody with a freaking brain would know that. Right now people in America are being more cautious and aren't spending as much as they used too because of the constantly rising prices of food and gas.
Once the U.S. Economy rebounds from the proclaimed, "Recession" Blu-Ray sales will pick up again because...
I have a launch 60GB PS3 and I haven't had any issues at all with GTA4.
And I'm tired of seeing these stupid PS3 and GTA4 articles.
Microsoft might as well just stop selling the Xbox 360 in Asia because clearly only the U.S., U.K., and other parts of Europe even care about it.
And I don't even consider Nintendo to be a direct competitor with the PS3 and 360. The Wii is just competing against itself or something.
If Nintendo came out with just a standard console like the Gamecube, Wii's would be in every store collecting dust. The whole Motion Sensing thing really saved Nintendo, I mean, just ...
This headset is coming to the U.S. too. It's already listed on Gamestop for $59.99.
I'm thinking about getting the MGS4 headset to go along with MGS4 and as a Collectors item. The price for the headset is a little steep considering the fact that you can buy a PS3 game by the time you get the headset, but this headset is one of a kind and it stands out from what everyone else has and it's not like they are going to be around forever either because I'm thinking that they will be ...
Well, it looks as though the PS3 is on it's way to outselling the Xbox 360 in the U.S. in April.
With Metal Gear Solid 4 coming out in June, PS3 sales should be picking up. I wonder how many Xbox 360's have sold in Japan this week...
Also there was that statement by both Gamestop and Sony about GTA4 and how much it "spiked" PS3 hardware sales.
The Playstation 3's major "system-seller" games haven't even come out yet and the PS3...
I disagree. The PS3 hasn't even been out for 2 full years yet. Sony isn't going to come out with another Playstation console until 2011 or 2012 at least. Sony has released a new console every 6 years so far. Sony isn't going to release a PS4 in 2 and a half years from now, that's crazy.
Microsoft will release it's new console first most likely because it's the oldest, and Sony and Nintendo most likely will release their new consoles a year later. Microsoft really screwed up the...
