Nevermind the western notions of sexual equality.
Look at the technology. Let Japan work out it's own culture as it sees fit.
Dont be so judgemental.
splegends.com? Who the heck is that? What horrible crap.
Yes, LBP's sales arent "what they could have been". SOCOM's sales "arent what they could have been". Gears of War 2's sales "arnet what they could have been".
And, if my aunt had a penis, she'd be my uncle.
But, alas poor Yorick, they are exactly what they are.
Love Fable II. Best WRPG since Oblivion.
Sorry, the reviews and sales are so good, must disappoint you that their isnt a PS3 version so you could actually play the game instead of spreading FUD.
The game is really terrific, anyone who's played it can see that.
Edit: As for those who compare it to Oblivion, its not really an apt comparison. Fable II is much more in the style of Zelda -- not organized for the RPG stat-junkie, more about story, and...
The excellent sales and reviews of Fable II are well worth it.
The game is exceptional in many many ways.
Best WRPG since Oblivion.
LOVE IT! On my second (totally evil this time) play-through now; loveing the CoOp too.
Qdog:
Actually, the Zune is very respected. And you're talking out of your "I hate all things MS" arse.
For anyone who *is* buying a DMP, you *owe* it to yourself to look at Zune -- they are the best player in the market, yes, better than ipod.
I dont doubt that MS is going to move XNA / Xbox LIVE Arcade games to Zune. Seems 100% smart thing to do.
Do you have any more info on this? Link to news?
I suspect they'll do this, but havent seen any confirmation of it...
I've got a Zune 16 and Zune 120, and a Zune Pass.
They are exceptional players.
Zune is 2nd in HD-based player marketshare -- yes, a distant 2nd, but still 2nd.
That's terrific.
I've got both a flash and HD Zune -- and Zune Pass.
Love them, if MS makes them file storage, I'll be geeked.
Moreover, If MS gets Xbox LIVE Arcade titles (or Community Games) to run on Zune, I'll be very happy.
I want more Zune / Xbox 360 integration. The faster the better.
From 35 to 77 is a 120% increase.
If you start at 35, and increase "220%", you end up with 35 + 35 + 20%of 35 (220%).
A 220% increase from 35 is 112.
50% increase from 35 is 52.
100% increase from 35 is 70.
Sony is the most anti-customer company on the planet.
Proprietary formats, root-kits in music-CDs, PS2s dead by the millions, buying off MPAA partners to kill HD-DVD in favour of the less customer-friendly BR... and on and on and on.
For all the *non*gaming reasons, I swore off sony a long time ago, and I'm happy as heck that MS is winning this generation in console and software; it means that I dont have to buy *any* sony product.
Thank god they used the word "installed" so that idiots could understand that they didnt mean shipped.
But, uh, yeah, thanks for playing.
How many? Exactly *ZERO*.
Why? Because "sold" is not the same word as "fixed".
Get it?
To any honest observer, this is not news.
The real news is this: The PS3 has lost the entire generation, it has ZERO chance of climbing out of 3rd place worldwide before the release of PS4 or Xbox 720.
Anyone who doesnt accept that fact is delusional.
And, another item for discussion: Will 3rd parties -- and Sony itself -- continue to pour top-dollars into the platform when the games continue to loose money?
With Sony profit droppi...
REPORT Mark silvacrest as SPAM for this garbage:
"It would be Stupid for Sony or M$ to"
Take that crap to the OPENZONE >
LBP has sold very poorly -- why would you expect it to help the poor PS3 numbers?
PlayStation 2 136K
PlayStation 3 190K
Playstation Total: 326K
Xbox 360 371K
Xbox 360 now outselling PS2+PS3. Expect that PS2 number to drop off *very* fast now that Xbox 360 is starting to reach mass-market prices.
" When Microsoft says installed
They mean shipped and ready to be sold at retailers."
Who the hell do you know that?
You're making CRAP UP FFS. STFU.
Really, how much crap are you children goign to invent to make yourselves feel good?
The news: MS has sold 25M Xbox 360s. DEAL. WITH. IT.
Bathyj>>>> TAKE YOUR TROLLING TO THE OPEN ZONE >>>>>
The heat issues were fixed under FREE WARRANTY. NO ONE had to buy a new machine to replace a broken one; because MS TOOK CARE OF ITS CUSTOMERS.
Now, I had -- and everyone I know -- had a PS2 fail (i have 3 failed in my closet right NOW)... what did Sony do to fix that? NOTHING.
Thats the difference, Sony's Ps2 sales **ARE** inflated by replacement units, whereas MS's a...
"Umm shipped, not sold."
NO. Can you read? It said;
"By the end of this month, we expect our global installed base to reach 25 million units"
Do you "install" unsold machines? This is *not* simply shipped, but **INSTALLED** (sold).
Nice try. I *really* like the way you people try and blatantly re-write news as it is presented to you. Can't you read?
