Maybe resting on their laurels isn't the right term, but do you honestly think that either company would be pushing as hard as they do without the direct competition? It's doubtful. They may still crank out the games almost as quickly, but I definitely don't think all of the bells and whistles that come with PSN and Xbox Live would've happened as quickly.
Even still, it seems like Sony fanboys feel like Sony should be entitled to have free reign over the har...
Donny and NastyLeftHook say it has, and then give links to...data? Nope. To Photoshops. Apparently the PS3 has not outsold the 360 for three straight years, but there's no doubt that the PS3 has finally after all this time hit its stride. I think I'll get one for myself at Christmas time.
It seems that a lot of people, depending on whose side you're on, want either Sony or MS to leave the gaming industry. Don't those people notice how hard the two companies work to out do each other? We benefit from that. If one of the two left, then the industry and our E3's wouldn't be as exciting, the the hardware wouldn't drop in price as quickly. Competition makes things better.
Case in point, WWE. This analogy will only be meaningful to those of ...
360 is the top selling console...just as it should be :-)
Alan Wake is definitely on my list...just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Commodore64, great comment!
I wish that these Top 10 list stories would stop being approved. They're a complete waste of time.
That's weird PlayStar, mine doesn't. From what I hear, the PS3 has its fair share of bricking too.
Sorry, wasn't I politically correct enough for you guys? Don't you guys know that political correctness is for sissies?
"No charts, no pics, no data, nothing.
How can we know these tests are for real?" -- I bet you guys would have an easier time believing the results if they favored Sony, but apparently you guys simply refuse to believe this article because it actually says something good about Xbox.
Ya ever think that maybe it's personal preference? Maybe I don't like games that are too Jappy.
I for one would take a western RPG any day of the week.
You will have to wear dopey looking glasses that require batteries.
I really enjoyed The Darkness, but I don't remember that game getting much fanfare. Great game, nonetheless.
And instead of stealing cars, you would steal gondolas.
So Fallout is excluded from the list, but Oblivion makes it to # 1? They are the same engine, the controls are virtually the same, just in a different time period. Although I do agree that Oblivion should be # 1. It may be the best game ever.
How often does GameStop have their Power Hour sale?
I think you're right that in time, Desmond will eventually be the hero. We still have a long way to go before we get to that point, I think. I guess it depends upon how long they want to drag it out. AC2 takes place in the late 1400's so there a lot they can do between that time and the present.
I think it's actually a great idea to do the series like that. Eventually guns and modern weaponry will be introduced in the series, which will be cool.
I haven't played Alan Wake yet, but Gears 2 is one of the greatest games ever, and Fable II kicked ass. Fable II has a Metacritic score of 89, and this douche calls it an abomination? What a joke.
Morganfell, you're not some genius who is smarter than everyone on this message board. It is possible for a company such as Sony or MS to be the only game in town and innovate and push hard. But to think that any company would push just as hard for just as long without competition as they would with competition is naive and, as you would say, simple minded.
Having one console would definitely eliminate the problem of having multiplatform games dumbed down to fit the low...
