The real question is 'Can Sony fix this in a timely manner?'. Sony displayed near 100% BC as a major feature so they need to fix this before things get worse in the community.
@1.1 tk - There are two major differences here,
First, MS never once promised 100% BC, they only promised they would work to get as many titles BC as possible. Sony did promise near 100% BC and it appears to be crap.
Second, on the xbox, games ran at 720x480 and the 360 takes those ...

...and wii sales fly past ps3 sales. Wii sold 350k in its first week, about double what ps3 has sold in the past 4 weeks.

Paul, that was damn funny! I had to click the 'let him/her speak' link just based on --HOW MUCH-- I laughed!!!

Does anyone have any idea how many hd-dvd add-on drives for the 360 have been sold?

I love it when guys like 'raiyel' come on here and in great big capital letters announce to everyone "I'M A MORON!"

TopGamer, you would be absolutely correct if we were talking about a 1080p60 source (1920x1080, 60 frames per second) but we are talking about a film transfer which is 1080p24 (1920x1080, 24 frames per second). In this case a 1080i60 signal is able to fully transmit the 1080p24 source without any lost information.

Now if film was shot at 60fps instead of 24fps then a 1080p60 transmission would have an advantage over a 1080i60 transmission but as long as film is only 24fps th...

It's true that there's a drive for content download but this is in the interest of the companies not the consumer. It gives them supreme control over the product, the greatest profit margin and a renewable product that they can sell over and over to the same consumer.

What happens when your hard drive craps out? Or you upgrade/trade in your 360/ps3 in a few years? Bye-bye downloaded media. Of course, I'm sure Sony/MS will be more than happy to re-sell you the download for you...

In canada it's an even better deal since the add on is $200cdn. (approx. $175us)

What I see is 39 pictures posted on Dec 1st ond out of those there are only 3 pictures that have an HUD on them and they are significantly different/degraded from the other 36 pictures which I can only assume have been taken out of a cut scene... Haven't we all been around long enough to NOT fall victim to these marketing techniques?

The Wii shouldn't even be in these comparisons. It's just embarassing.

Between the ps3 and 360 I would say that the 360 looks better. The reason I say this is because I observe better black levels/shadow detail/lighting effects on the 360 and it has been consistent across all video comparisons I have seen so far. In every other way they seem to be identical.

Here is the HD version of the CoD3 comparison from gametrailers also. It is most obvious in this game, especia...

There are always going to be comments from unwaivering diehards like dj or power of green II unwilling to listen to reason or admit when something about their console of choice is a negative. It's best to just ignore these types since the conflict fuels them.

I agree 100% yet Sony seems to be selling okay despite its western launch lineup so I would say brand loyalty plays a big part also.

I think that MS needs to excel in, not just deliver, japanese content in order to capture a chunk of japan.

Namco has some balls to call the ps3 Ridge Racer number seven in the series when it is clearly identical to RR6. I'll never understand why no one seems to be upset about this.

you got a link for that quote 'proudtobetorn'?

Thought not. And yes, I also think you don't know what you are talking about.

Bluetooth and wifi interfere with each other. Sony approached the problem by using a timeshare technique where only one or the other is in use.

This is the reason that MS is using wifi and a proprietary wireless tech so they wouldn't run into the very issue this article is talking about...

What is with the retarded reply, I'm talking worldwide not japan and I am asking if there is a fundamental difference between the fanfare.

If you are going to go all dumbass fanboy on me then perhaps I could address your reply with something like suggesting that the reason RR7 sold better is that the ps3 launch line-up is so weak that even sub-par mediocre games will sell to sony gamers desperate for something with a review better than 2/10.

Jesus, fanboys make m...

"sorry, the steering wheel is not in the same ballpark as sony's and nintendo's motion sensitivity." - Deathnote1

What kind of a RETARD would suggest that the sixaxis or wiimote is a better racing controller than an actual racing wheel and pedal set with rumble and force feedback.

Deathnote1, I can only assume you are under 16 years old and have never driven a car before in order to even possibly consider suggesting that the wiimote or sixaxis is better...

It's weird, RR7 is one of the better sellers for the ps3. From what I have seen and read so far, RR7 and RR6 are virtually identical games but RR6 is one of the weakest selling titles on the 360... is the demographic for these two systems really that different?

Weird, all the sub-category ratings range from 8.6 to 9.4 yet the overall rating is 9.5? What the...? I guess that's why I've never heard of gamezone before...
