Bravo! As expected, the 360 has sold a million more copies than the POS3. Who would have guessed? But wait, the new battle cry is, "2009 is the year of the Mega Movie Machine POS3!" hahahahhaha...HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
Blame the POS3. Look at Midway. They lost $34 million and 45% of their titles were POS3. If Midway distributed BD movies, the POS3 may not have taken them down like they take down the rest of the gaming world these days.
And the fact is, BluRay is not Phony. Phony is big behind BD, obviously it shows since your POS3 has sold more movies than games, but MS putting BD in the 360 is not copying at all. If you want to talk copying, talk Trophies. And I guess since MS started putting all the movie content on Live that Phony launching some time this year isn't copying? Get real people. It's business and being such, you do what you can to compete. Every business does and every business will continue doing so.
InYourMom, you are one of the few educated and knowledgeable posters here, obviously. You bring up some great points and I agree completely. And not to mention, Phony has no authority to deny or approve MS to sell BD.
Wait for the NPD numbers and you will see that your "twice" the consoles than the 360 is rubbage. The only way MS can avoid Blu-Ray is if Netflix hits Live and it's streaming. If not, MS will put BD into the 360, add-on or internal.
Marlec, just stop posting. If the RROD was that bad, the 360 wouldn't continue outselling the POS3 and the attach rate wouldn't be blowing away both the Wii and the POS3. Until that stops and until the monthly sales drop well below the...
As posted before, go out and read a little before you post stupid crap like this. Phony cannot deny or approve membership to the BD consortium, period. The BD board is made of many companies with guidelines that do not approve or deny membership. The BD board has already openly invited the HD-DVD crowd aboard. Learn before you type!
You're obviously not intelligent enough to understand that Phony cannot say who gets BD or not. Blu-Ray is a consortium of companies and guidelines that Phony is a part of. Besides, it's not like the 360 really needs a BD player anyhow, considering that even without one that it's kicking the crap out of your movie box.
HAHAHAHAHHAHA! You POS3 fangirls don't actually believe that MGS or GT will outsell Gears or Halo 3, do you? GTA 4, your most beloved game until she left you for a better console is outselling your movie machine and even still, you are lying to yourselves! Please. The POS3 doesn't have one title that has sold more than 2 million copies. Maybe...MAYBE MGS will break 3 million.
Whyyou insist and talking in third person is beyond me. Maybe you feel like you are pushing your point more to yourself or something. Meanwhile, back in the realworld...
HD-DVD was not MS', they just supported it, knowning damn well that it was not going to make it. And if really believe that a BD is not coming to the 360, you are fooling yourself. Of course MS is going to deny that it's coming because it could hurt sales. And just because our gaming console is kicking the crap ou...
And Trophies aren't cheap rip-offs of the original, MS created Achievements?!??!?! Your responses are natural responses from people who own a movie machine that is supposed to be a game console.
And even without an HD drive, the 360 is still outselling your precious console and absolutely crushing the Wii and POS3 in title sales.
What companies don't copy other companies? Look at Apple- they flat out stole the wheel technology from Creative. Wake up, it's bus...
Are you kidding me? Because Obama doesn't make a stink about GTA, you people think he's God! I am shocked how forgiving and naive us Americans are. First of all, he's of Muslim decent. And this alone is shocking how forgetful we are of 911. Yes, I understand he's not directly responsible, but putting our nation in the hands of a man with Muslim connections is just crazy. And for those who say I am racist, you couldn't be more wrong. Not to mention, the man has just about zero experienc...
Let's not get carried away about the graphics. Yeah, in some places they are awesome, but let's just say they aren't as awesome as the reviews and critics were saying. And as for lockups, haven't had any. No RROD, either. No 7+ minute initial install, in fact, no problems whatsoever on the 360.
Spin it how you want, GTA 4 has been less than stellar on the POS3.
RRODs??? More like POS3 lockups and a 7+ min install...
Pix don't mean crap. Compare the video and you will a very distinct difference in sharpness and brightness. The 360 version is by far, much better looking!
360 Launch console, NO PROBS.
Sorry, but everything I witnessed today with Gamestop selling tons of 360 titles, the 7+ min HD install, the video comparisons and now the freezing issues on the POS3, it's over. The POS3 is down and out until MGS and even that will be marginal.
Honestly, who really cares? It's so close, who can tell?
Consider this- with all the RROD issues, smalled HD, no built-in Wi-Fi, the 360 is still clobbering the POS3. The attach rate is outdoing the POS3 and the Wii! STFU!
Obviously it's not too big or it would have been delayed. This is simply the POS3'ers way of trying to steal the thunder and they failed. Yes, I will agree that the 360 needs a better storage capacity solution, but by doing DVD, MS has really controlled BD adoption, considering how many 360 owners there are currently and how many are coming.
This is happening at many places from what I have been hearing. Once again, the POS3 falls short. Where's Ken at? Ah that's right, he's probably watching a glorious BD movie, having some popcorn and dreaming about how many trophies he will have in gay Home.
