"You are comparing Sony, who is helping to publish the game, decision to exercise their investment the way they see fit; some how equal to Microsoft's constant dubious, deceitful practice of using money to divert content away from the PS3"
I don't see the difference. When Msoft "excercise their investment the way they see fit" it's called deceitful. Let's not forget that Sony covered up their rumble lawsuit by saying rumble is last gen. Now everybody needs to rebuy ...
Seriously dude, just give it a rest. 14 MGS titles vs 4 Halo titles. Get your head checked. Just accept you are wrong and let it go.
you idiot, go do a wikipedia search. Have you played the MGS game on ipod yet? lol!

What on earth are you doing in this thread? Does it bother you that much that Xbox360 fans are optimistic about a new game by a developer they like? You, sir, are pathetic!
The above article consists of 50% factual numbers and 50% opinion and conclusions drawn from the factual numbers. It's the 50% opinion that I'm disagreeing with.
MS entertainment drops 130% - FACT
Xbox 360 is in trouble and selling at a loss - OPINION
If your logic applies to all consoles this gen then the only "safe" console is the wii.
"If Microsoft is selling 360’s at a loss in what appears to be a giant fire sale,"
You seem to be leaning towards MS selling the Xbox 360 at a loss in your blog. Or at least that is what I understood.
I think the problem is that your take on the article is very negative towards the Xbox 360 when in reality there isn't anough evidence to point to the Xbox 360 selling at a loss or being responsible for the 60% drop in profit since last year. The last paragraph yo...
Sure, but what does that say about Sony? They are in the same boat as MS when it comes to profits. They are selling an expensive machine in a recession.
This "giant fire sale" is inflating the userbase which means more software sales. Surely this must be good news for publishers?
Also, how certain are we that MS isn't making a yearly profit with the Xbox 360? I know they are still in the red when you look at the overall picture but I think there was an article a while ...
The big fail of this blog is the assumption that MS entertainment division is only the Xbox 360.
"If Microsoft is selling 360’s at a loss in what appears to be a giant fire sale, what does the future hold for the system? Aren’t these the questions as gamers we should be asking?"
1. You don't know if the Xbox360 is selling at a loss or not since the Xbox360 is not the whole entertainment division.
2. Consoles selling at a loss is nothing new. It certainly...
Fall? Look at the sales figures outside of Japan.
Your average of 87,916 has fail writen all over it since the picture has changed somewhat after the price cut. The average includes figures of before the price cut.
Also, you claim that Sony reports sold and not shipped. How on earth can Sony know how many PS3's every retailer (online and offline) have sold? The answer is, they don't and they can't.
There are a lot of holes in your logic my friend but keep trying though, I'll get my popcorn ;)
Just give it a rest dude. Do you have any proof whatsoever to support your 90,000 per month claim? Anywho, the only figures that is important is World-Wide, who cares if the PS3 is outselling the Xbox in Japan or Europe when it is losing world-wide.
The PSN and XBL both uses a mixure of dedicated servers and peer-to-peer hosting. L4D, Bad Company, almost all EA games use dedicated servers on XBL. Why don't you take it to the open zone where this type of trolling is allowed?
*Edit
Also at point 3, how many PS3 owners needed to rebuy a controller because of the "rumble is last gen" crap by Sony? Of course you can trust sony ;)
Why on earth do you guys click to show his post if you hate him that much? It's like you're addicted to him or something, just leave him alone.
Wow, that's a pretty lame attempt at a witty remark...
*sigh, just take your hatefull/idiotic comments to the open zone.
There is a lot of people enjoying MK vs DC. Of course "crappy" games, as you put it, have something to do with it but the sales lost to piracy may have made the difference. Now people are left without jobs and we have one less developer making games.
Maybe if piracy didn't exist a lot of studios that closed will still be open. RIP Midway
Whooop - "We don't need multiplatforms" priceless! So you don't play COD, bioshock, Fallout, Dead Space, ect? you're not a gamer my friend.
"Why would I be bored playing Killzone 2?? Are you implying that it is boring?? hmmmmm interesting"
??? Is this guy special or what? "get bored" not "be bored", there is a difference. But I don't expect you to figure it out so just carry on.
"Gears 2?? You mean that broken abomination?? lol"
It's clear now, you're an idiot.
It's seems like the PS3 fanboys are bored playing Killzone so now they spend their time on N4G trying to convince everybody that the Xbox360 has no games.
When is the next PS3 exclusive coming out? They will have nothing to play until then since multiplats don't exist according to them.
I'm just astonished by the immaturity on this site.
