This is a bit old hat now eh?
138%. So thats a % of what? 1000? 50,000? doesn't mean much and I would hardly say its a rocket if the new model was 37% of units. Numbers pls for a meaningful view.
I suspect that a lot of these sales are second machines and collectors a bit like when the S model xbox launched. Mine was a second machine.
Still on my 40GB Fat PS3 but now with 320 HDD
The nice thing to consider is that the current engines are not maxed out on the current consoles. Frostbite 2 for example can look and run a lot better than it does on 360. If the next consoles have enough power then the current engines and games are just ready to scale up and be given a shot in the arm.
If I could have Bf3 running and looking like the PC version on a console at 1080p then I'd be very happy to start.
Please be what Test Drive should have been. The idea of a sandbox driving game with endless roads is so appealing to me. Test drive was close but poorly executed and supported.
I'm not a FIFA player but 3 of my mates play it all the time and last night they were all on Fifa 13 on Xbox. Apparently its quite a bit better than 12. My friends all bought 12 but went back to 11 as they said it was better.
Whatever your thoughts on yearly games I have to aknowledge that as a team game for a good lads night its a great formula and this is why it sells well in the UK as we are nuts about our footy.
Off topic. Just watching the Rider cup...
Didn't read the list for hits article but I'm still putting most of my xbox time into it because its fucking superb - end of. The teamwork, the smug feeling when I waste a 4 person chopper with a RPG from miles away with a lucky shot, the copious amounts of WTF moments - I could go on and on.
New AK maps are decent quality as well.
If you have a good squad of friends and are organised you can be like the expendables and pwn all.
Oh yes!
Love the zombies. Treyarch are bringing it once again. The best COD dev imo. Black ops was fantastic and the zombies and dead ops arcade had so much love and work poured into them.
I hope the campaign and multiplayer is a dev of black ops and better than Money Wasted 3.
I hate this. The f'ing game isnt out yet. If they have the dlc planned or already made then it should be in the game to start with.
Blatant milking as per almost every other large ip this generation.
A complete game used to cost 30-40 quid in the uk. With season passes and other dlc micro tranactions the cost of getting the complete experience doubled.
No Turn 10. No all publishers. You wont milk me. I will either buy 6 months later cheap...
Congrats to sony for having a good first half in OZ.
It does beg the question though which platform was previous best seller for 2011 and before that? Is this the first time that ps3 has been best seller? If yes then double congrats. If no then good but no big deal.

Er yeah whatever.
slow news day?
speculation, opinion and click for hits waffle is so rife on this site its doing my nut.
Not suprised a dev is happy to see the end of physical media. Easier to control digital copies and licenses.
I for one am old skool. I like, nay demand a physical copy that is mine to play when I wish offline and to have in my collections.
I like Treyarch as a dev. The amount of detail and effort put into Blops was amazing. The zombie maps are all well designed and the dead ops arcade is a blast.
Blops for me was the best COD so far. MW£3 and elite annoyed me. Leave it all in the game IW!!!
Some of my best lads gaming nights have been getting wave 20+ on Acension with all of us having pack a punched guns and kicking some serious zombie backside.
I'm not a premium subby (don't believe in paying for unknown quality content up front), but I do have Karkand and skipped CQ (because its a COD mode), but I am interested in this AK when it becomes available for normal second class players on Xbox.
Xbox prem players - Is it worth 1200 in your opinion? I suspect that maps are smaller than PC? and the other thing I notice is that a lot of my regular servers played the hell out of Ak for the first couple of days but hav...
I doubt it.
I've been waiting for iAmiga forever and its still not here. My next phone most likely wont be an Apple.
Is there a decent Amiga emulator for Android folks? If there is I'm jumping ship. I want to play Shadow of the Beast on my phone!

Ah the original Unreal. One of my first big PC games. A masterpiece of design and pacing. Loved it. Would love to play an HD update or reworked version.
Yes they are better then PS360 but not by the same margin as from XB1 or PS2 to PS360. I'm concerned by the low RAM. 1GB dedicated for games is really not much these days. Yes its 4x more than PS360 but its still low for todays standards. The GPGPU is interesting though. In the scheme of things these specs are only at best middle of the road which is why I descibed them as so so...
Edit - 2x as much! 4x if you include the OS memory. Edram we are not sure on yet.
Amiga Forever!
