MGS4 was a third party, not first. Also, Sony cares about their customers? THis from the company that charges $150 for an HDD or disk read error as opposed to MS who, while the rrod is a bit much, still fixes them for free.
Also, wasnt Sony the company who boasted that the high price of the PS3 was no big deal since people would work overtime to buy one?
Yea, they care..
since if you do chances are you cant play online unless what, you advocate having 2 systems?
....360 fans will call it poetic justic cause didnt PS3 fanboys bash Halo 3 for only being 540 (or is it 640? i dunno) Point is, if one set of fanboys fire a salvo, the other side will fire back when they get the chance so really, saying crap about 360 fanboys is pointless since sony fanboys do the same damn thing.
....you know the 360 fanboys will harp on the ps3 fanboys especially with the ps3 fanboys harping on Halo 3 for being only 640 (or was it 540?)
Still, on both sides, when a huge game is low on the res, those fanboys of that game will back it and the others will bash not calling it true HD due to being under 720, its all a retarded circle.
...lets hope sony tries something new, something revolutionary with it like, I dunno.........ADVERTISING IT? I mean come on, most hyped PS3 games were barely a blid on the advertising radar. KZ2 proved that you need more than word of mouth and internet hype to sell games. If you made a kick ass game, you want it to do well, doing well means people will buy it thus enabling you to make another or even start up a new IP.
Lets face it, Sony and their advertising has been crap thi...
...is if they did a drop I cant see it being more than $50. Well, at least with that that would make up for the sales tax (unless you live in like alaska where there is no sales tax) and thus you'd be getting it tax free.
....if a price drop does happen here in the US, most stores (like Best Buy and circuit city when it was open) will honor the price diff for up to 90 days. So, buy it, hold onto receipt, and if in 90 days it drops, take in receipt, show it to them, and they will give you back the difference.
Of course I dunno if stores in Europe do this.
....so if it is true it may not be across the globe.
Really,if you buy any system JUST for one game you are an idiot. I dont care like if you just get PS3 for KZ2 or say the 360 JUST for Gears 2. I mean people can do what they want ith their money but really, how retarded are you to buy a whole system for one game.
Also, an FPS game is not the one that will really sell tons of systems. The last real bonafide system seller was in 1992 when the original Street Fighter 2 came out for the SNES as that propelled the SNES past the Genesi...
...to the type of people who have the Wii. I love the game and system BUT, lets face it, most people won't buy it since it is mainly a system for the kids and early teens. I mean if parents are doing their jobs they wont get this game for lil johnny.
Though I had hopes for this game, its sad that it proves that high M rated games may not selll on the Wii.
....were the number of units stores bought in prep for the release of the game, the pre sales numbers are NOT the total of consumers who plunked down $5 to pre order it so, for all we know, of the 1.1 mil, maybe only like 500k actually put money on it.
As long as the game gives you an idea what to expect, thats all that matters. On a side note, Advent Children sucked ass.
Resistance 2 was supposed to convert 360 players, it didnt
MGS 4 was supposed to convert 360 gamers, it didnt
And FInally, Killzone 2 ws supposed to convert 360 owners and sale 1 billion consoles but it did not
So, in closing, if those 3 high profile games failed to sell/convert 360 players to the PS3, why would you think MAG would? Also, though said to be cancelled, if HUXLEY ends up being secretly in development for the 360, then 360 owners wont even care about MAG. ...
....wasnt metal gear solid 4 supposed to be game over for the 360 as well? Funny thing is, much like when KZ2 came out which was the deathnail for the 360, people are still buying the 360 in larger quantities then the PS3. When Resistance 2 came out, more 360s wee still sold, same with MGS4, and now KZ2. I mean for huge system seller games its strange that the 360 is still outselling the PS3 which mean more people are going to MS camp over Sony.
So, if MGS4 couldnt push system...
the genesis was out in 1988 in the US (1987 in japan) and SNES came out 1991 in US (1990 in japan) and thus had a lead BUT it had a 3 year head start. However, a lil game called Street FIghter 2 came out in mid 1992 and that pretty much turned the tied and the SNES went on to outsell the Genesis in that era.
You see, unlike Sony fans, NES fans finally made the jum and bought systems in droves when Street Fighter 2 came out and those who had a SNES bought it as well. Sony fans o...
...if you look, they show last years numbers for the same week where the PS3 outsold the 360 by 2k units and now the 360 outsold the PS3 by 8k units so, that is getting back those 2k units they lost on the lead and picked up 6k more. That is pretty impressive.
Yet the 360 is $50 cheaper than the Wii. You fail right there. The Wii, despite what bitter fanboys will say, is not meant just for kids. I would think if you have played Mad World, No More Heroes, and have seen anything regarding THE CONDUIT that will soon be out, that you would realize this.
People calling the Wii a kid console are just upset dantards who just cant see how nintendo can be on top after 2 bad gens before. Of course, these same people hating on the Wii were proba...
....looks like everyone last gen then that bought a PS2 was an idiot by your reasoning. The Xbox was the superior graphically system, it had xbox LIVE, it too played DVD's, had a built in hard drive and was net ready out of the box (albeit through cat 5) So, the only thing the PS2 had out of the box that beat the xbox was dvd playback since you needed an adapter for the box to play dvds.
Then again, I bet you will somehow twist it to say the PS2 was still the smarter consumer p...
....the PS3 fans are still calling bull on the sales due to it being VGchartz YET, if you look at last year, they have the PS3 having outsold the 360 by 2,000 units? I mean VGchartz put anything about the 360 being ahead then the site is a fraud according to PS3 owners even though they are usually pretty close to actual AND they will go back and adjust numbers if they are off YET, if it shows the PS3 is outselling or sold more in any given week then the 360 (like i said, look at totals for s...
Do you know your MS console history? They have had ONE system before the 360 so even though the stopped support of it, thats not really something you can use to say they have a HISTORY of doing so and as far as faulty hardware, the original XBOX was rock solid so to say that, because of ONE console they have a HISTORY of faulty hardware is retarded.
Get off your high horse jackass, every company is allowed to make mistakes. So the 360 had issues, its a learning experience so I ...
