Yep, I hope its super successful and blows up because then all the kiddies and immature teens and fanboys will flock to 360 and Kinect. Developers for 360 will make nothing but shovelware. Why make core games for 15 million that may sell 2-5 million copies when you can create shovelware games for under a million or so and sell 20 million copies? Thats what will happen, and then PS3 and PSN will become the one and only hardcore gaming system, I can't wait!
Shutupandplay... I would think with a screen name like that you are a core gamer, well you can say good by to core gaming on 360 if Kinect blows up. Why would a developer spend 15-20 million developing core games that may sell 2-5 million copies when they can develop Kinect shovelware for 1 million or less and have it sell 20 million plus copies? Yep, bothing but a shovelware system.
I personally hope Kinect does blow up, then all the kiddies and immature teens will flock to Kinect a...
You gotta give props to Microsoft as a company who is out only to make money tho.
Take a look at what kind of fanbase they have created, They have created a fanbase that:
1. Accepts broken, unreliable hardware with up to 50% failure rates
2. Re purchase systems that should not have broke in the first place
3. Accept and willing to pay 3-4 times the regular cost for HDDs, wifi adapters, etc.
4. Accept banning millions of console users right arou...
How ironic, you have a screen name called shutupandplay yet all you can do is talk about sales. Very very sad indeed.
And if this does sell a lot, guess what that means? More casual shavelware garbage for Xbox360 and Kinect. I hope it does sell millions and then all Microsoft will concentrate on is casual shovelware while ps3 will become the one and only hardcore gaming system. As of right now ps3 has a huge list of AAA exclusives coming next yr and all 360 has is Gears 3 in late 2011...
Me and my girlfriend are both huge God of War fans (we went to the midnight release of III and had to buy 2 copies for the 2 ps3's I have since neither of us were willing to wait to play) and we both loved it and played it many times, its my favorite of the trilogy and still currently gets played. Also people stating the gameplay is too much like the first 2 clearly did not play the game or played it on easy - Being able to switch thru 7 different weapons (blades of exile, claws of Hades,...
Why are people getting all excited about no lag? this is simply a test using Kinect with the dashboard, all the thing has to do is recognize hand and arm movements and there is no game engine to run. Funny how a copy of kinect adventures was NOT included. Having the dashboard with little lag in no way shape or form represents a full game running using Kinect. Think people
You world really expect the definitive version of their Halo franchise considering its the ONLY IP they have worked on for 10 years now.
I can't give them the complete respect they deserve until I see other IPs from them. If you have been working on one IP only for 10 straight years you BETTER deliver the best version of your IP at the end of the 10 yrs. i world expect the best halo campaign and multiplayer when its all you have been working on for 10 years.
False
Halo3= 94 metacritic
Halo Reach= 93 metacritic
Its a straight up fact that Microsoft sent $800 goody bags with the review copies of Halo3
There is actually some truth to his comment considering microsoft sent out 800-900 dollar goody bags with the Halo3 review copies.

So you are saying about 40% of all xbox360 consoles sold in the US are modded? Hahaha rightttt. Because thats how many would have to be to make the sales between ps3 and xbox360 equal. If you think xbox360 owners dont rebuy consoles because of RROD and those Halo bundles, you are nothing but delusional. I know 2 people who upgraded to slims so they dont risk RROD during their upcoming Halo Reach marathons, and they arent the only ones. Hahaha, keep making...
Death,
You can keep claiming that everyone was sensible and took advantage of the 3 yr warranty but the facts are in the numbers.
Ps3 install base: 15 million in US
Xbox360 install base: 25 million in US
Madden only sold 3% more on 360 even tho they suposedly have 67% more systems sold. They are repeat buys.
Also go look in some Halo Reach comments, one user claimed he was running low on space on his 20 gig HDD and now hes buy...
Nope, why spend millions of $ on new studios and exclusives when you can spend those millions on TIMED exclusive map pack add ons for generic shooters?
Exactly, and I think people are buying new 360s even if their old one didnt die for insurance reasons because I know 2 people who upgraded to the 360 slim because they are amped up for Halo Reach (and one of them for Fable3) and don't want to risk their console RRODing during Halo Reach - they both admitted they will spend hours and hours playing.
By the way one of they got RROD twice and the other 3 times.
"The 360 install base is now about triple what it was when Halo 3 was launched so the potential audience for Reach is significantly larger,"
That statement is based off of the NPD sales data, you can not tell if those are new customers or repeat buys, you clearly did not understand what playstation_clan was saying. Yes 3 times as mnay consoles have been sold since Halo 3, but many of those can be repeat buys, as evidenced by Madden 11 sales.
How can...
Many repeat buys, when IGN says the install base of xbox360 has tripled they are basing that of NPD sales and have no idea how many of those system sales are repeat buys. With the 360 RROD fiasco, im sure people are rebuying slims left and right to assure they dont get stuck with a broken system down the road.
This is blatantly obvious by the Madden 11 sales. They are just about identical in sales on 360 and ps3 yet the 360 install base in the US is about 25 million and the p...
Um no, sorry you are wrong. Move is not more expensive. Considering Kinect can only track 2 players at once you have to compare apples to apples. A 2 player setup for Move is 150$ (bundle plus extra move), same exact price as the Kinect.
The Nav contoller is for hardcore games, and considering there are no hardcore games for Kinect, you cannot compare, plus you have the OPTION of using the dual shock, you can call it lame all you wont, but you do not need to get the nav controller, a...
As of June 30 2010
PS3: 38.1 million
Xbox360: 41.7 million
Considering xbox360 released 1 year earlier in the US and 1.5 years earlier in Europe, had a lower price point at launch (400 vs 600), massive rebuys from RROD and banning millions of users, still has a lower price pt and sells a model at 200, has all the huge microsoft marketing dollars behind it, had more games and higher quality games than ps3 back in 06 and part of 07...
And they h...
As of June 30 2010 ps3 has sold 38.1 million consoles, however VGChartz says they only sold 37.4 as of today. They use false information, stop quoting sales from a fanboy site that posts sales for a system that is less then what they had sold 3 months ago
Ahh, the bittersweet taste of xbot fanboy tears!
