you're going "wtf" because you're confusing 2 groups of people and thinking they're the same group. Look at your post and try to seperate the 2 groups.
understanding to economics and business mechanics, which is why I see transparently through many of these tactics, and it is identical to MS's buying acts. No different. And you keep saying they bought out studios, all the console manufacturures do this, MS bought Rare, they had a leash on Bungie, they all have some, which others are you talking about?
And the proof lies in both courts, if you make a claim, back it up, both sides, CherryPie made a claim, and he has no proof, wh...
How is this playing dirty then? Really, you sound exactly like many of the people who always say "this is ruining the industry" every time a game gets bonus missions on 360 but not PS3. Read your post, you sound no different. What Sony is doing is THE SAME thing that MS does, it's business. You are saying the same words, "leaving a bad taste" and "limits the market" were precisely what everyone said when MS bought out all that content over the years and got upset...
where's your proof the games were NOT simply "bought exclusives", we all know GTA 4 DLC was simply paid for, you have points about the attach rates etc...but it is about money, and you present no proof that it wasn't simply a payoff when all those games end up on 360. The dev costs ARE high on the PS3, so why not just give them the DLC in the end anyways, they already spent an arm and a leg trying to understand the PS3, now they'll cut out the last bit and lose on their returns by o...
I was thinking what Pimphand was, if the tables were turned, you know MS would be doing EXACTLY the same thing. MS always fights with hardball, it's so rare Sony throws one back, and now that they do, fanboys are up in arms? C'mon, it was business when MS did things like this, but now it's a "b*tch move"??? Umm, no, it's still business, and that's even if it was Sony's choice. Get real, it's nothing more than a turned table for once (not that this is a "ha ha in your face"...
phantom disagreer, before you come back to defend your mindless choice, let's see you come back and define fanboy.
that I see a difference from bragging rights and pissing on somebody else's opinions. I have a great Crysis-able laptop, and will be getting a 360 down the line to add to my PS3, but just because I have just a PS3 right now, you won't see me being a fanboy saying "Left4 Dead sucks, lol, PS3 is better because....".....it's just stupid.
people have to recall that many games for PS3, if they're hardcore Sony fans (we know there's got to be millions of them, since the PS2 has sold 120 million, and obviously the PS3 and 360 combined total means many haven't gone into the new gen yet) will often get them on the PS2 instead of the PS3...think about that, Madden 09? If you're a MS fan, you've got to upgrade, you in Sony's court still? Go get it on your PS2, no need to upgrade. Same with Guitar Hero, same with Mercenaries 2, same w...
because I knew it would be taken wrong, but I wasn't talking about 17 vs. 47 (my old comment for those who don't know was math not marketing)....you assume my math comment was at his comment of rudimentary multiplication, and I never said that. My comment is at the big picture, which involves math and marketing and business mechanics and timing. I said more about it below in another comment. Nobody is owning anybody, don't assume, earwax needs to think about things before saying that "5 ...
go get a q tip and then take a marketing class.
It really is irrational, but I am not sure you'll understand why.
analogy is somewhat flawed if you look at the costs in a mathematical sense, seeing as how the PS3 is appx twice what a 360 is, for the cheapest versions of both, at least here in the US. My point being that a Porsche is NOT about double the money of an economy car.
And secondly, I usually will find it almost fanboyish of anybody to state that a system has "No games" that interest them. If you like a certain genre on one system, chances are you're lying to yourself if...
and that my friend, is why many people DID opt to get a PS3 (while many will opt for less, like the Wii or Arcade 360)....Many of us bought a PS3 because it was the cheapest for all the features, it was for me and a few others I talked to, while others were fine with the 360. My point is I added up all the things *I* wanted out of a console this gen, and Sony offered it for about $100 less than Microsoft's equivelent, plus I got a PS2 more or less built in, and with more peace of mind about m...
that's what I was under the impression on, that 360's online movies were 720p, not 1080p, and you cannot stream an uncompressed audio source with Live from what I read also, so no, you don't have the same access to HD movies that BD owners do. As well, I'm not worried about wear and tear on my PS3's drive, I know it's built well, and has a low chance of scratching discs, which is not what I read about 360, and honestly, that WAS a selling point to me on getting my PS3, the reliability.
consider it a hoax. That's your opinion, just like any reviewer whining about Resistance 2's textures. Opinion, doesn't have any factual merit to the quality of resistance 2. Why do so many people read a review and consider it the bible on a game? You should have the capacity to create your own opinion rather than echoing someone elses.
because I go for collectibles, maybe replay them, try some co-op, explore a little....I like to push the barriers and find the envelopes, so to say. Like in Restistance 1, trying to get all the skill points, played it a second time through with the girlfriend, then played it on hard, tried to find all the intel. There's no way I get less than 30 hours out of that thing when splitscreen deathmatch etc...is added in, so length isn't usually an issue for my game purchases. In games like Perfect ...
It's quite odd how N4G has so many more aggregate reviews compiled from what I see, for games that I check here, I don't use metacritic, and the author at Ripten didn't really answer the claims, he simply reiterated what Metacritic claims in the first place, that they get reviews from sites x, y, and z, and not blogs. Nobody that I saw was whinning about blogs not making metacritic, they were saying that they choose some really funky sites that nobody had heard of, then use different sites on...
reading you donk, look into what I said, then come back with a real comment. I said nothing about how rare 300 lbs of muscle is, let alone that that's what I'm talking about, I said nothing about how good Urlacher is, I said nothing about how good the Bears are. For Gods sake, even Daniel Craig or Jason Statham would be high on the "overweight" side because they are muscular. Hell, a husky guy who is built from working in a warehouse who wants to lose 20 lbs will be lied to by Wii F...
Wii Fit is great if you lose fat and get in shape. I won't deny that, but just know many, many people are being misinformed by that thing. It is crap if it uses BMI to judge how fit someone is. You do know how BMI is calculated, right? Weight is weight to a BMI-based program, meaning that if you have 30 lbs of muscle added from intense weight lifting, and even LOSE 10 lbs of fat (meaning you've gained 20 lbs net weight), Wii Fit will assume you have taken steps backwards and gotten fatter. I ...
you judge gameplay videos, have fun with youtube while the rest of us actually play them. Get real.
