"Why are people acting like Natal will be he second coming of the xbox?"
For the same reason Alan Wake was latched on to before its disappointing unveiling. When you only have one thing to hype, you hype it like your life depends upon it.
"Their servers aren't any better than on other platforms. "
The Xbox servers are worse than on other platforms:
Microsoft: P2P networking
PC gaming: Dedicated servers
Sony: Dedicated servers
P2P online tech that Microsoft relies on means that games are hosted off other players home network connections. That means that the number of players is severely limited. And it leads to terrible lag problems in games due to the t...
"Then why not have any nuisance at all? (psn)"
Because even with the billions in Microsoft profits from their OS and office software funding it, Microsoft's lack of internal hardware design and manufacturing puts them at massive disadvantage both in console manufacturing cost and performance.
The Xbox has racked up some 7 billion in losses over the 7 years its been around. And that is dramatically understating the losses since the Xbox is mixed in with othe...
It is a silly article.
Being forced to pay 50 dollars every year for laggy P2P online gaming never was 'worth the price of admission'.
Post two screen shots or sets of footage of your average multiplatform game for the PS3 and the 360 and Xbox fans will scream like their lives depend on it that 'teh 360 version looks better' and PS3 won't care.
Post PS3 screenshots labeled '360' and vice versa and Xbox fans will scream 'teh 360 version looks better'
This is what happens when you have the colossal tranwreck of wimpy Xbox 360 graphics hardware and a gimped storage format that is smaller than last gen ...
"May I remind you that last gen the Xbox hardly had any of the major multi-plats today.. "
LOL!
Last gen the Xbox had GTA, it actually had a real Metal Gear Solid(not the joke action spinoff Kojima isn't working on) but an actual real MGS game last gen.
Even worse, Microsoft has now lost the biggest third party dev in the world, Rockstar North, who is now PS3 exclusive with the heir to GTA franchise, Agent.
What retarded fantasy wo...
"and Xbox was FAR more reliable"
Hey look! It's an Xbox fan trying to spew lies about PS2 hardware again!
Isn't that cute!
Let me guess...I think we all know the talking points verbatim by now:
"My launch 360 has never died but I did have 5 PS2s die on me last gen"
Don't ever.
EVER
dare compare the 360's RRoD design defect to the PS2 again.
Is that CLEAR?
"But I challenge you to look up and find out what the ps2's real failure rate was"
We don't need. We all own PS2s.
After almost four years of the RRoD fiasco no one is in any more to hear some 360 owners spout BS about the PS2. You're an embarrassment to gamers of all platforms.
Give the PS2 lies a rest. No one wants to hear that garbage.
140 million PS2s have been sold worldwide. People have been playing their PS2s non-stop for 9 years now.
If you're going to make up stories to try to deflect the 360 having the worst console hardware ever made, do it with a console the entire gaming world doesn't own.
It is a cute little article:
The PlayStation 3 has the 'Momentary Edge' in the Console War
I'm sure we can look forward to more in the same spirit:
The PS3 exclusives look 'Slightly Better'
1080p lossless audio Blu-Ray movies look 'A Bit Better' than sub-720p loss audio downloadable movies
Sony's PSN dedicated servers are 'A Little Bit More' lagfree than Microsoft P2P online technology
The PS3 is 'Slightly More' rel...
"for 300 dollars would you buy a overheating dvd player,"
Because you heard this new model 'fixed' the RRoD - but really this time, not like all those other times before.
Because you still have a burning hatred for Sony over the Dreamcast, Xbox, HD-DVD
Because you spent the last three years running your mouth off to your friends about the Xbox 360 and the PS3 and you would look like a complete fool buying a PS3. Better to save face

Nothing new. Been done countless times in the past. I remember these types of efforts all the way back in the mid 1980s.
I think the only thing really interesting this month is the Wii number.
Have no idea what is going to happen when the Wii finally gets a price cut:
Has everyone played the Wii at a friend's house and don't care what price it drops to
or
If it drops to 150 or 200 bucks it starts to become cheap enough that everyone picks one up just for the hell of it even if they don't plan on playing anything other than a couple of the big titles.

"This is august by the way. So no slim, obviously"
A weird month.
You have the huge drop off as Sony stopped production of the existing model PS3s to make way for the Slim.
But you did get a little bit of Slim sales before the 1st of September.
So not really any indication of what the numbers will be like for the first full month of Slim sales.
Edit:
"I don't know anyone who owns one!"
LOL!
You've never seen a single line of PS3 engine code in your life, yet you are trying to sound like you have a F-ing clue about relative code base sizes of various PS3 and 360 engines.
Let's see:
PS3
Custom engines for all major games
Custom PS3 engine absolutely destroy multiplatform engines and 360 custom engines
360
Heavy reliance on middleware for major games
Custom 360 engines are graphically dissapointing: Halo 3, Forza, etc.
Golly, sounds like the 360 is the 'hard teh develop' platform...

Go away. Go back to your pathetic little site and its fake sales numbers.
Look at previous articles by the same idiot:
"People Own More HD-DVD Players Than Blu-Ray, Over a Year Since Format’s Death"

Just another retard with a platform to spew garbage.
