How is this article a "hot story"?
The writer says "The first thing, many people choose to ignore or forget to mention is the fact that Microsoft's Xbox 360 has been out for at least a year longer in all territories, obviously a lead in sales is expected, when it's the only HD "Next-Gen"console on the market, right?"
THEN HE DOESN'T ELABORATE
He says " Secondly, looking at the prices of these two consoles as another fac...
Is it any good? I looked at some of the gameplay videos but i must admit, i felt a little disappointed. I know multiplatformers dont always look amazing, but it seems we are almost reverting back to inferior graphics. As for gameplay, it looks like they focused a little too much on 'a destructible environment' and the core game mechanics looks like they suffer.
Tell me if i'm wrong though!
Yes, the HHG staff does like posting a BUNCH OF FLAMEBAIT articles so they can get 'site hits', but they are obvious supporters of the PS3.
In several interview's the HHG interviewer is clearly in favor of the PS3 and always defends it.
Your article was hard to read and didn't make very much sense.
Granted, the 360 has a higher failure rate, but the fact that Sony makes more reliable products gives them the ability to give weaker warranties. This means w...
As much as all of you HATE Microsoft, you must admit; at least all the 360 owners got free repairs.
As much as i love Sony products for their 'reliability', it just gives them the ability to give weaker warranties. I recently just got a Vaio, and it didn't even cross my mind to buy an extended warranty. If it breaks i'm FU!@ED. However i suppose i feel comfort in knowing that it most likely wont break.
That said, i don't think it's necessary to use this article as a...
We aren't dissing the Sony!, of course we all had a PS2.
I personally have a PS1, PS2, Sony Vaio, and Sony Bravia. I picked the 360 over the PS3 simply because i like it better.
The only people who "dis" anyone here are those of you with PS3. If you don't believe me try this:
1. Click ANY SINGLE ARTICLE on N4G.com
2. Read the comments
No matter what the article pertains to, you will see several comments about how the PS3 is better. The PS3...
YOU FORGET that gaming for Microsoft is just a "small venture". Also you forget everyone loves Sony. I have a Xbox 360, however i own a PS1, PS2, Sony Vaio, and Sony Bravia.
Microsoft knows that this type of underlying information puts them in a good position, think about it. There is this huge Sony vs Microsoft debate going on. Not to mention the CELL vs XENON debate. Not only does Microsoft's competition (Sony) use Microsoft Windows on every Vaio computer they make. ...
I swear TO GOD you PS3 fanboys are still going to be claiming how AMAZING your console is even 300 years from now when we are all playing Miconytendo's new playbox 6400.
.............
"The Miconytendo Playbox 6400 MAY have a 5000ghz 10,0000thread processor, however it cannot harness the power of THE CELL so it fails, just look at KZ2"
Must you spam every single article with how "you think" your console is "better than" the Xbox 360? Yo...
I like the time travel concept, but it might result in lack of focus which leads to dumbed down gameplay. This is kind of the way it looks to me. The shooting looks pretty poor, in several clips it looks like [your] just trying to shoot at passing enemies whom don't attack back.
I agree with whoever said there are too many FPS's out. One of my biggest gripes with KZ2/Halo3/etc was "great another FPS?". seems like 90% of all games are FPS, do we really need another? Cal...
That's not how sales work. It's not like everyone who wants a PS3 says "i will wait one year to buy my PS3" For the most part, everyone who WANTED these consoles have bought the console. From here on out, any increase in sales are mostly due to those who arent core gamers and pick up a console as 'fun purchase' or a 'gift'.
By your theory there are 8 million PS3 lovers out there who are 'waiting' to buy' a PS3? So the question would be why? why don't they just buy it ...
Your post has nothing to do with the fact that Sony Santa Monica is commenting on a system that they have an OBVIOUS allegiance too.
"In their keynote, Sony Santa Monica explained that the SPUs aren't actually coprocessors but are full general purpose processors that can handle code directly lifted from the PPU. Moreover, they aren't just fast, but they are super fast and with a little bit of help they can run code at unbelievable speeds. "
Everyone is alr...
YOU meany SONY is telling us how the PS3's CELLS are FASTER than people ASSUMED. Well thank god we have Sony telling us how great Sony products are.
Since Sony has claimed all of its product are good, and then, that other company,... SONY..... has reinforced this 'fact'. Does this mean Sony is the MOST RELIABLE SOURCE? because, afterall, Sony's claims that their products are the best, have been backed up by Sony 100% of the time, therefore making them always right.
...
its more like 6. One is locked for "redundancy" and the other is used for the PS3's OS. So that's 6 usable.
I meant Multi-cored, and mutli-threaded. Thus why i was referencing QUAD-CORE which, obviously, arent dual-cored. Sorry for the typo.
Pertaining to your second post. WRONG, an iteration of the cell has been used in most cases listed in the post i quoted. For example in the use of medical hardware (which is the only industry the cell has made any headway in). Likewise, in the case of the blackhole 'A' PS3 is not being used. '16' PS3 are being used. Thus it is not a reflection of &...
"If the 360 is more powerful/faster then the PS3, then why is the PS3 used by research centers? Colleges? used to study blackholes? Cancer? Diseases? Wouldnt they use the 360 if it was all so much more powerful, as xbox fanboys like to have the world believe?"
The PS3 isnt being used to do any of those things. The Cell processor is. In most cases, not the same cell processor in the PS3, but a more powerful, different iteration of it. Similarly, this isnt a wide spread t...
"Blu-ray reads at more than half the speed of 12xDVD9"
I meant LESS than half the speed****
Looks like you are all forgetting Blu-rays 2x read speed vs DVD's 12x read speed. 2x Blu-ray reads at more than half the speed of 12xDVD9. 8MBps vs 16.5MBps respectively. Thus several games, including non sandbox games, were forced to install content to the PS3's HDD in order to run properly. This point has been made by several PS3 developers but can easily be figured out by simply looking at the bandwith constraints yourself. Blu-ray is simply to slow to stream stuff of its disc with the sam...
Wow you PS3 fanboys are relentless. You decided to "disagree" with my 100% factual, completely unbiased, mathematically sound, analytical post above. So instead i will just post this.
http://xbox360.thegamerevie...
Wii: average: 5.5 games per a console
PS3: average: 5.3 games for a console
Xbox 360: average: 8 games for a console ...
Anyone who has taken a little BUS101 knows you did your math wrong. You cannot just 'average the percentages' there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to this. Instead you need to find the difference in percentages, and then add them up. I did this for you.

Hindsight is always 20/20 right? Its easy to take ANY game and say what "could have been in it". Does ANY game ever have every single feature we WISH it would have had? Does any game NOT have a few things that bug us? So Vat's was effective, and way to boring. Due to ammo constraints, it made VAT's necessary to use. But who cares really?
This game has probably gotten the MOST play-time out of every game in my library. I have about 34 games, so that's impressive. So in t...
Just as of the END of 2008, the 360 has started turning a profit per each console sold. I dont know how much it is. But i can assure they are currently making a small profit for each Xbox sold. (i will look for the article)
As for Sony last time i checked they are still losing a substantial amount per each console sold. I would hazard to guess that its probably more than -100$ per a console.
Also the PS3 has sold 21.5 million, the 360 has sold 29.6 million. So the or...
