agreed that the E3 showing had absolutely no effect on sales, both hardware and software. Hardcore gamers that only play the wii by themselves disagree of course.
NPD is even further evidence of that FACT.
People love to hate the wii, its utterly retarded. "HARDCORE" gaming doesn't exist as a demographic. Therre is no set age group, habits, sex, no traits what so ever that separate a hardcore gamer, from a soccer mom. People can pretend there are, but then ...
disables ingame xmb.
This was known at 2.4 launch.
Looks like POG and the boys got this one through. This would be the equivalent of posting another one of the hundreds of thousands RROD stories.
30 Million dollar ad campaign.
That was microsofts bill after everything was said and done, and considering the install base of the 360. 8 million is low.
MGS4 will sell more than halo in its lifetime, since Sony isn't hurting for exclusives, or one hit wonders. Their game advertising budget is spread across many titles. They understand people will know and buy it.
MS's only high selling game without a 30 million dollar ad campaign but close.. was Gears ...
You don't say anything when you respond to TheMart/POG nonsense.
GIt!!!!
kidding kidding.
I wish target renders showed the viewpoint that you should be playing.

Just don't try to pretend you invented it. Which is what MS is best at.
Because it is.

As if that means that they are less important than other people? As if their money isn't worth as much?
Nintendo owned everyone this generation by promoting their product as FUN for the General Audience. If Microsoft/Sony did the same thing, I'm sure you would be saying "GREAT BUSINESS PLAN!!!" The hate for the Wii is completely inconceiva...
True gamer. Tips hat
Im suing everyone here.
You aren't really Chad are you?
Would love multiplayer. just as icing on the cake.
FF13 is going to be an amazing game. But thats the thing, its 1 game. 1 game that happened to sell like hotcakes in japan thats not even going to be sold in japan? Microsoft is easily trying to dominate gaming by buying people out. As they always do in any industry that they get into. Wouldn't it be interesting to see a 360 strickly developed RPG title to see how it could trump a Ps3 rpg? Well it tried, and you saw what happened. Lost Odyssey. Mass Effect. All great games, but Final Fantasy? ...
G4 seems to be warming up to the PS3.
Sony's 09 lineup is already badass. Talk about planning ahead.
I feel sorry for everyone wasting their time on this title.
Ages beyond Gran Turismo, and lightyears past Forza.
I really thought they would improve the visuals a bit though. Kinda disappointed. But the games are great.
