This is just awesome news for UK gamers. When has it been cheaper to play classleading games with an included xboxlive gold subscription?
What with much improved xbox reliability, an ever expanding catalogue of stupendously awesome exclusives and most often superior multiplats, the 360 truly presents an awesome christmas purchase for gamers. Simply put, an amazing deal.
I would guess that the retailers are pricing the console at a loss to attract christma...
November: NA 360 +110k Japan PS3 +140k Europe ??? ROW ???
The numbers for Europe are unknown. The numbers for ROW (australia, asia, africa, middle east, india) are unknown.
Based on NA and Japan, the balance is about equal It is entirely possible that the ps3 outsold the 360. However, the reverse may also be true, as we simply do not know how the 360 and ...
I find it disturbing to see the author of this article (Thomas Pain - a 'guest writer) fail to support his very controversial assertions with ANY kind of evidence.
Outside of the official Media create and NPD reports, Thomas Pain asserts to accurately know the numbers that each company sold in Europe and, incredibly, in regions outside of Europe?
Incredibly, Thomas Pain ridicules other industry analysts for "copy/pasting the same articles off their RSS reader&qu...
Yeah i agree with starchild there, UC2 was great considering it was a PS3 game.
I am impressed with what the UC2 developers achieved with the difficult ps3 architecture. I can only conjecture how much greater UC2 would have been as a 360 exclusive with so much developer talent.
This 'Halo reach' Trailer proves that the 360 can easily keep up with and exceed what has been presented on ps3. It looks absolutely fabulous already and there is still a whole ye...
Were this a ps3 trailer, we'd never hear the end of it from the Sony attack force. I did note that there have been quite a few of them downplaying the quality even in this very thread... it's so sad.
Halo Reach looks to be astounding and will push the 360 to new heights. The game is still a year away and this is very likely what actual gameplay will be like... probably better! Great News for gamers. Bad news for hat...
Congrats to UC2 for winning the vga goty. A well deserved award for such an excellent game.
Now all it needs is for my fellow ps3 owners to actually buy the game. Seriously, the ps3 is approaching 28 mill sold, yet UC2 sales are less than 2 million. This is probably the best game on ps3 and arguably has received a LOT of advertising and exposure. Yet sales remain unremarkable, compared to other games of AAA quality.
You guys have missed the point. My comment was deliberately aimed at showing that this sales ratio would most likely be 3:1 iff (if and only if) all sales figures were accurately taken into account. Duh!
It is interesting that you guys had to spin the missing sales details and accurate facts that I presented. Of course, I have no direct proof of the exact number of additional bundles sold, but, come on, use your brains... this is not rocket...
There will still be the same grumpy ps3 diehards who, testy and irritable at this upstart 360 game, will gnash their teeth verily and try to find anything and everything to complain about, before they are forced to begrudgingly acknowledge what awesome fun is to be had on the 360.
It's just another day on n4g, rinse and repeat. What happened to all the gamers?
Sadly,on a negative note, even with more engineers, more money and more resources thrown at the ps3 version, it still didn't quite reach the standard set by the competing platform: http://n4g.com/News-439022....
Hopefully PS3 owners can enjoy the game regardless. Game on.
Dude, there is no need for you to damage control. There already is a plethora of damage control in this thread. Don't make it worse, please.
Eurogamer normally do the most in depth and accurate comparisons, thus are the most useful and applicable when comparing games. There is no other site that has consistently gone to the trouble of making detailed and comprehensive comparisons like they have, for multiplats. Thus, why wouldn't I use ...
The entire thread is full of ps3 fans complaining, whining and damage controlling.

Let's face it, Bayonetta is an oustanding action game which happens to be available on both platforms, and, according to numerous reputable websites and 'apples-to-apples' comparisons the game looks undeniably better on the 360.

Dude, why not test the waters with a $199 arcade?
If you like it, great, you can play ALL the games.
If you don't like it, then $199 won't have broken the bank either.
Be a gamer, not a loyalist!
I'll be getting this game for sure!
Looks stupendously awesome and I love RPGs.

Yeah, sure, the ps3 isn't doing that bad at all... i agree!
However, the ps3 has just had a most significant pricedrop and Slim sku release. The ps3 has UC2 and KZ2 also.
Shouldn't it be doing a LOT better?
lol at all the fanboys who say it is closer to 2:1
Did you guys realise that the 4.2 million for 360 does NOT include the hardware bundle sales?
The real 360 number is thus much higher and is most likely very close to 3:1 after all.
What were you guys saying?
Back to school?
Do the math?
... better eat some humble pie huh, guys?
lol nerdgasm!
geeky instead of sticky
XD
lol
This thread is a moderation Paaaaarty!
It's funny, you know...
it won't matter if this game is awesome.
