Because Microsoft's portfolio of software and hardware offerings are very much falling behind that of Sony's (not only in quantity and quality, but also in third-party evaluations; How many times have we seen articles or blogs praising the Move over Kinect?) and it just feels good sometimes to hype up the underdog.
Dark Cloud 2 got even more critical praise than the original and debuted at a time when Playstation 2 adoption rates and userbase were bigger than when Dark Cloud 1 launched (which was at launch of the PS2 console).
"If the IP isn't a moneymaker, why do gamers demand that the studios risk their livelihoods on the "impassioned" requests of a few fans?"
That is a logically-reasonable statement, but you must consider the what I like to ca...
The Pandora's Box replica alone was worth it. So many colleagues and friends of mine who have entered my home and seen it atop my entertainment center have been awestruck by it.
Gran Turismo 5's collectors edition comes with a lot of goodies and looks to be worth the extra $42 bucks. But yeah I get you, not all collector's/Limited editions are worth it; MW2's in particular was outrageous!
Just like in today's B.S. hypocritical society, if there is a sitcom of women talking about how lazy and unorganized and unresponsive men are, it is praised and wins Emmys. But if there was a show of men talking about how lazy women are, how they don't or can't cook, how they just like to spend money, how they lie and use sex as a tool to get what they want, that show will be defamed and accused of misogyny and get banned of the air. It's okay to bash men, but it isn't oka...
Include Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, and Kim Kardashian into the mix and you'll quickly withdraw that "Eew".
does he look like a person who knows anything about adult "situations"? An Adult situation to him is when he, his sister, and his mother all wrestle over the Wiimote.
"Gran Turismo 5 will sell well and Mass Effect 2 will not be coming to Playstation 3."
Even to this day, it is the only James Bond game that made you feel like you were almost playing an interactive James Bond film, rather than a vanilla FPS with the James Bond name slapped on it. The gameplay variety in EoN was exceptional compared to other James Bond games.
Did Gamespot ever ding EoN for having too much variety? LOL, It wouldn't be the first time...yeah you all know what I'm talking about.
Since when the hell did Toys R' Us become a pivotal retailer in determining how well a game or system or peripheral is doing, by preorder or anything else?
Amazon yes, but Toys R' Us?
I haven't even seen a Toys R' Us storefront in more than 7 years. Bring up the Gamestop, Best Buy, Wal-Mart numbers to try and prove this kind of point.

To quote that one N4G dingbat with that stupid Mighty Mouse-looking avatar:
"If it's not on PS3, it's exclusive"
Just like how I don't need to put my hand over a flame to know it burns.
The Prospects for the PS3 just keep getting better and BETTER, and the idiots on the opposite side of the fence are just so pissing-in-their-MasterChief-u nderwear mad about it! The quality in PS3 hardware offerings, online offerings, and software offerings have held a steady momentum for about 2 1/2 years now, and 2011 looks to be another year that will only increase that momentum.

It is still the only football game that remains in my entire Playstation library.
PS2 graphics are outdated, but the gameplay still holds up. There should be a sequel. I believe Visual Concepts is still in operation, just when the hell will the NFL Commission choose to end its exclusive agreement with EA?
LOL! XD
That was so god-damn stupid that it made me laugh.
Still, why the exorbitant amount? It may not be a royal shafting to the general gaming public as it was initially thought, but still. Most publishers (well, if they know their game is good) will send complimentary copies of their games to gaming media outlets a few weeks in advance of launch to build a positive buzz for the game.
Either Microsoft are being, well, typical Microsoft, or they are purposely building something of an obstacle for gaming outlets to get their hands o...
Does any of those disagreers have the ability to form an opinion without Fox News digesting all the information for them and handing them a turd/opinion for them to stand by???
All you disagreers (fredfenster, souljah, to name a few) are like a fart; Loud, obnoxious, and full of hot air.
The US, through the CIA and the ISI, supplied and funded groups of Muslims from all over to fight the Russians in the 1980s. Some of these people within this US-funded group detached and went on to create the Taliban and to fight for their own drastic political pretexts.
You right-wing wackos love to embellish and embroider the facts of the situation. If you don't like America, than fine, whatever. But don't be a fanatic and hedge the facts to make you feel all nice a...
Bulletproofish_ is a small fish that lives in a small pond, and wants to keep it that way.
but that announcer always spouting how things got annoying real fast.
The crosshairs don't look quite centered as well. Is that normal for the Halo franchise?
What is that at 0:55? Is it like a Last Stand-type element, but if no one finishes you off you get right back up?
Also, is there no sprinting ability in the gaming?
These are honest questions here people. I know some of you will get your huggies in a bunch, ...
Anybody who doesn't have their nose up Aaron Greenburg's a$$ and who doesn't immediately and entirely raise Kinect up to be the wholly original and innovative product of our time is a Sony Fanboy.
Considering all that, I would rather be labeled a Sony Fanboy than some blind corporate sycophant who doesn't have the means to buy-out or the volition to believe other than what they are told to believe.
