for MS to announce to release their line-ups", is what most 360 fanboys have being saying so far but my question is: what AAA game will you be playing until E3?
Killzone 2 just came out for the PS3, Heavy Rain will be out this year, inFamous will be out by June, this year,as will Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank 2. Those are just the certain ones, Gran Turismo 5 and GoW 3 MIGHT make it this year and Sony, just like MS, still has unannounced games.
I don't mean to...

Uncharted's textures are one of the best the way.
Resistance 1 had 40 player multiplayer in 2006.
Gears 2 had 10 player multiplayer in 2008.
According to your theory of "gaming evolved" gears should have surpassed that. Gaming Evolved. The original Xbox was built like tank and my old one is still running and guess what, every single one had a hdd and it could utilize almost 8.5 Gigs of Disc space. 360 is much less reliable than its predecessor, less disc space and not all consoles have a built in hdd. That's gaming...
and when you get Killzone 2, your transformation to the darkside will be complete.
that FEAR 2, SF4 and Resident Evil are coming to the PS3 and inFamous is Q1 as well. We have Killzone 2 and inFamous and the 360 has Halo Wars, Star Ocean 4 and DLC. I'm glad I chose the Ps3 over the 360 two years ago.
Cell > Xenon
RSX > Xenos
There is a popular misconception that RSX is weaker than Xenos but in truth, it's the other way around.
136 shader ops/cycle x 550mhz= 74.8 billion shader ops/sec vs 48 billion shader ops/sec
51 billion dot product ops/ vs 24 billion dot product ops/sec
AA= 17.6 Gigasamples/sec vs 16 Gigasamples/sec

waiting for Alan Wake or waiting for Microsoft to announce games that might get this year. Oh wait.
We all know that Sony announces lots of games for the next 3 to 4 years and Microsoft announces games 6 months away or 4 years away in the case of Alan Wake but the thing is that I've known about games that I will play this since 2007. Some 360 owners have no idea what they'll be playing 3 months from now, they don't if Microsoft will announce a new game that they like or not.
Microsoft doesn't care that their fanbase will get shafted as long as they make money.
Microsoft could have easily invested the millions they wasted on buying 3rd party exclusives on in-house studios. They'll get more and better games for their customers. Look at Lionhead, Turn 10 and Rare; they've created great games like Viva pinata, Forza and Fable and Bungie and Bizarre made Halo and Project Gotham racing. 360 owners get more exclusives instead of timed exclusives and DLC, i...
instead the money will go to make more 1st party exclusives for the PS3. Whether FFXIII is multiplatform or exclusive, I'll still get to play it but the difference is that Sony might use the money for securing FFXIII as an exclusive to make an entirely new game. So I get two games instead of one being exclusive. 2 > 1.
This business practice of paying huge sums for exclusives is bad for gamers and the industry as a whole. For example, Microsoft paid 50 million for exclusive do...
You'll all be getting it in between the eyes and you won't see it coming.
It also had less games that scored 65 or lower.
On-topic:
The 360's line-up isn't so bad. At least you get an expansion, DLC, and a RTS up for the first quarter this year.
Whether you like it or not, Mass Effect 2 is the only sure hit on the 360 amongst announced games. I guess you can go back and play some awesomes games that you might have missed in 2006/2007.
Look back at 2006- 2007, the 360 had some crazy line-up. Gears, Forza 2, Biosho...
.
This february will be the 360's Last Hope (SO) and then the 360 will be lost and damned (GTA DLC).
Jk
All in good humor (humour for non-American gamers).
but now I know that they're telling the truth. Halo Wars, GTA DLC and now, Star Ocean 4. I actually know why Microsoft is doing all this. Killzone 2 appeals to the typical 360 demographic (b4 the price cut at least). Most people but 360 for the excellent shooters and the 360 doesn't have any coming out 1st quarter to compete with Killzone 2. I don't see Star Ocean 4 selling over 1 million. JRPGs just aren't that popular on the 360 compared to games of other genre. RTSs aren't that popular eit...
They had to have the 1 year head start. Imagine the 360 releasing alongside the Ps3. This means that Perfect dark would have gone head to head with Resistance and and Gears of War would have gone head to head against Ratchet and Uncharted. Bioshock, Forza,Mass Effect and Halo 3 would have gone against Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, MGS4, Motorstorm 2, and Valkyria Chronicles.
It also means the media bias would have been minimal and differences in multi-platform games would be...
in Gran Turismo and companies are worried as to how that would affect their image. Forza's crashes aren't realistic enough to get car companies worried.
SE claimed they were going to become more multiplatform with hopes of generating more revenues but they've yet to produce a game on a system that will provide millions of dollars or billions of yen in revenue. I could care less if the games are multiplatform or not because I get to play them either way but not releasing any games in almost 3 years for your most loyal fans makes no sense. Many people bought PS3 simply because of Square Enix games and they've yet to receive one while people who...
won't be happy because NONE of the next-gen games have even reached that number sold in Japan while Level-5's game sold 212,000 in 3 days. The main cash cow for Square has been the PSP, Wii and DS. Level 5 just proved that PS3 is a more than viable platform to release next-gen RPGs. This good news for Ps3 owners. This means that Square will soon release PS3 versions of Last Remnant and Star Ocean.
Edit:
Square Enix can't always live on Microsoft's handout but you can bet o...
The PS3 has no bottlenecks in memory, that would be the 360. The Cell and XDR have the run at the same speed (3.2GHZ). The Cell can read and write to the ram at the same cycle because of this. Granted the other half(256mb of GDDR3 memory)runs at ~700mhz - 800mhz. The 360 on the other has unified memory that runs at ~700mhz- 800mhz; this causes wait states, the processor has to wait every other 4 cycles to read and write to system memory. Talk about bottle necks.
