I don't think they are buying anything but third place, they can't buy Sony first party exclusives and that is where its at this generation.
If anything Ken Kutaragi PUT AN END to Microsoft's business practices when it comes to consoles. How so? All the great first party titles this generation are on the PS3, DESIGNED FOR THE CELL ARCHITECTURE.
So not only will microsofts money not maky ANY difference next generation, they wouldn't be able to run these games anyway. ...
In game voice chat is gonna go a long way to shutting up critics of a FREE service. Can cross game invites be that far away?
p.s. I think setting your XMB theme while in game is STUPID waste of coding time.
I agree I just want to play my PS3 exclusives and multiplats online FOR FREE. Silly fanboys that think magnifying glass comparisons are going to affect people's buying decisions are just that SILLY FANBOYS.
I buy all my games for the console that doesn't charge me to play online. Besides everyone I play with has a PS3, 360 is a four letter word around these parts.
lol these people never learn
Microsoft just needs to go away, instead of being the champions of open platforms and thus burying Apple in the process, they are even worse.
At least Apple has quality on its side.
"They maxed out too the limit's for Gears of war 2 but as you can see..... There is no difference in graphic's with Gears of war 1."
yet we have to listen to ignorant kids talk about how the 360 GPU pwns the RSX seven ways from Sunday. One is producing hype generating visuals and the other is being read its last rites. Silly wabbits, talking about console technology isn't for kids.
yet another moronic journalist who thinks he knows gaming. People should really listen to what the developer from Bethesda had to say about this subject. ITS NOT IN THE SUBJECT BUT THE EXECUTION. That being said Killzone 2 is THE DEFINING SHOOTER OF THIS OR ANY PREVIOUS GENERATION. I can guarantee that over the next 20 years we will see many new shooters, remakes etc. because the technology keeps improving and giving us new levels of immersion. Imagine playing the original Doom in Killzone 2 ...
I've done my own graphics comparison and found some GLARING flaws in the 360's graphical output. I even got a magnifying glass to see it in more detail. To my surprise those jaggies turned into letters which formed words like
"I can't run KZ2,UC2,GT:5,MGS:4,GOW3,HR,MS: PR,basically any PS3 exclusive"
NOW those are graphical flaws that would make me think twice about a console. What point am I trying to make here?
hardly noticeable jaggies vs....
the 360's problem is not in its software but in its limited hardware architecture. Basically when they saw that Sony was working with IBM on its new chip they went to IBM handed them a boatload of cash and said "we want something similiar". This was sooooooo out of place and unethical that the entire IBM team working on the cell with Sony did a collective "WTF?" If you don't believe me you can read the account in this months issue of Game Informer where they interview Dave...
looks like someone has started a one man crusade to defend an obsolete console. Its kinda like watching someone try to stop the sea from rushing in. lol
you know you're right let me go order Killzone and Uncharted 2 for PC right now.
SMACKS FOREHEAD
how can some people be so stupid.
I think the one thing everyone on the internet has failed to observe is that the sudden barren desert that has become the 360's 09 lineup is due to how much heat Sony first party titles are bringing to the table.
If it wasn't for Sony MS would be happy pumping out shovelware along with all their third party support. The Sony effect dictates otherwise.
nice try but once again you are WRONG kuushan
These processing bottlenecks are exactly what the PS3 was designed to overcome. THAT is why you have a PPU supported by SPU's, so CPU cycles never take a hit due being able to spread out tasks among several cores.
IT IS VERY POSSIBLE to use %100 of a processor %100 of the time. How and why is something I get paid for.
persounally I can't be arsed about what spelling the english youse
"after it released its first version of Windows in 1985. As Eric S. Raymond memorably put it, Microsoft's Windows operating system was: "A 32 bit extension and graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprossessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition."
and this would be an attempt at bashing by the bruce lee of the english lexicon
extended color space has nothing to do with wether a display is a "computer monitor" or a "TV", thats just marketing terms, inside its all the same tech. The ignorance of that website continues to astound me. That being said, if you have a 1080p native panel made within the last two years they WILL SUPPORT extended color space.
I see comments like yours and just shake my head, perhaps you are an uninformed child. Selling 200+ million consoles over two generations means you have one hell of a software lineup to choose sequels from and thats not even going into NEW IP's like uncharted and resistance,LBP etc.
Only dumb noobs think that a company who is CLOSING down studios can compete with that in the long run.
the thing most need to remember is that Microsoft and their online viral marketers WANT this to be an arugment about price. That's all they have left to argue. Id rather keep it centered around value which is an area where the 360 fails miserably. Seriously speaking I am turning my 360 on a bout once a month now and I don't see that improving anytime soon.
dear noob,
Linking to VG charts = AUTOMATIC FAIL
yours truly,

lmao, Microsoft couldn't buy yahoo yet they can buy sony?
silly fanboys, gotta love em.
