Yup, this strikes me as quite odd.
Well, to be fair, it does not do *everything*.
But it does a heck of a lot more than certain other devices that use this tagline.
Well, removing 4,000 from 8 million yields: 7,996,000
WOW! Total failure! OMG!
They had been reporting sell-through for Kinect.
But when Sony felt the need to publish a bigger number (4 million) one day after Microsoft's announcement of 2.5 million, apparently Microsoft decided to beat Sony at its own game.
Sales wouldn't jump from 2.5 million to 8 million in one month. So it was obvious that 8 million must be shipped, not sell-through.
In an industry where performance doubles every two years, technology that's four to five years old can be called ancient.

The first Crysis had sold over 3 million copies as of May 2010. That's more than the first Uncharted. Oops.

This isn't about the size of the game. It's about how much they can fit into memory (512 MB) at any given time.
If there's a problem fitting the game into memory as they say, then SPUs aren't going to change that. LODs need to be more aggressive, textures need to be lower res etc. Similar to how they solved the problem for Uncharted 2.
The quote is quite deceptive to those who don't know what they're talking about.
And motorcycles won't replace cars. There's enough room in the streets for both.
If the sales are not important to you anyway, then why are you getting so worked up about this? Why are you even reading the article and its comment section?
GTA 4 runs like crap on anything less than 4 cores.
Since this game is newer, it only makes sense for it to require a minimum of 6 cores.
Yeah, it's on consoles. So?
But US numbers are not the world... oh wait
You have stated the above before?
Then I guess you want to disagree for my calling you out. The button is right here v
Accidental double post
Me neither.
What do you mean? I'm certainly not schizophrenic.
Please do not defend the lack of episode 3.
Episode 2 ended on a cliffhanger, and after THREE YEARS we haven't seen a single piece of artwork for episode 3. Work on episode 3 may not even have begun yet.
How can anybody disagree? It's in the freaking article:
<<this is definitely the version to plump for," GM says.
"You don't miss out on the events of the first game, thanks to the interactive comic, and you've all the extras existing players have had access to.>>
Mass Effect 2 is $20 on Steam (was available for $10 a week ago). Add the $24 for the DLC, and you have a total of $44. Or $34 if you bought during the sale.
In the third paragraph, they explain why they think the PS3 version is the best:
1) It has a comic, so you don't miss out on the events of ME1
2) You receive, quote, "all the extras existing players have had access to."
<<I'm off to Neogaf & Beyond3D, at least they don't have the urge to put their balls and wallets in people's face when comparing games.>>
Whenever the topic of cost comes up on N4G, PC users point out how inexpensive gaming on a PC can be.
Since you frequent Neogaf, you may want to take a look at the thread of "Video game graphics cognitive dissonance".
55 pages of pure hilariousness. Or maybe you even contributed...
