The Japanese won't buy American products, so why compare them? Every other console is from a Japanese company. If it was the Sony Xbox 360, then it would be selling the same as the PS3, if not more.
Wii - 37,501
PS3 - 24,811
GOW III is GOTY because it got the highest age rating in Japan? Ooookay then... I thought quality would determine if a game deserves GOTY, but apparently I was mistaken. I will now definitely be on the lookout for any game the ESRB rates AO!
Mass Effect 2
Yeah, BioWare was really limited when they were making Mass Effect 2, which currently stands at a 96 on MetaCritic with 95 reviews. You can tell they were limited because 96 is a really, really low score.
LOL!
MAG - 6/10
LOL!
88 on MetaCritic and dropping!
The best horror movies don't need to rely on gore to scare you. The same can go for games. And aside from gore, what would push Alan Wake to an M rating?
Also, just as a side note, it's really hard to take you seriously when you call the game "Alan 'flashlight killer' Wait". That's just immature. I guess a mature argument devoid of name calling is too much to ask for here on N4G...
Mass Effect 2 - 96 on MetaCritic.
That is all.
It seems almost every time there's an article like this saying something negative about the 360, it's from NowGamer. That name has been popping up a lot recently. Talk about a no-name website begging for attention.
1. Alan Wake
2. Halo: Reach
3. Toy Soldiers
4. Crackdown 2
5. Fable III
Now name me 5 good reasons Microsoft should only release their games on the Xbox 360, and should not profit from Games For Windows LIVE.
It's almost identical to the PS3 fanboys feeding off of the low scores for Mass Effect 2, which are 100 times more difficult to find than low reviews for Heavy Rain.
Alan Wake doesn't have any nude scenes like Heavy Rain, so why does it need an M rating? Constant swearing, nudity, and over-the-top gore is not necessary for a good game or for a mature game.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is rated T for Teen.
Well, taking a quick look at the top 50 rated 360 games on MetaCritic, approximately 40% of them could be considered shooters. I don't believe 40% is enough to constitute the 360 a "practically shooter-exclusive console," is it?
So Gears of War 2, Halo 3, Forza Motorsport 3, Fable II, and the upcoming Alan Wake, Crackdown 2, Halo: Reach, and Fable III are all "irrelevant?"
The "latest Forza game" has a 92 on MetaCritic and has already sold 2.5 million copies.
Gran Turismo is only king in sales, not in quality.
Every Forza game has ranked AAA on MetaCritic.
Gran Turismo 4? 89.
Gran Turismo HD Concept? 82.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue? 80.
Gran Turismo PSP? 74. (it just keeps going down)
Gran Turismo has not been an AAA series since 2001. And I doubt it will change with the release of GT5. Then again, anything short of perfect will not be acceptable after these countless years in development and nu...
Never heard of it before...
I didn't know that the EyeToy could do trillions of calculations in three dimensions, thirty times a second.
