because they did. Sony accepted the idea, and sold 1 million world wide.
Why 1 million WW is fine for Fable2, and not LBP with its niche following, no one knows. Sony fans did say it was going to replace mario, so maybe thats why the articles are here, but that has nothing to do with good sales.
How about you 360 owners find some news about your own games?
COme on, I bet theres Alan Wake news out there.. some where?
New Ninja Blade trailer.....
how about waiting until we get to see what the hype was bubbling about. Not some old teaser that was shown on the terrible Spike awards show.
I mean, before judging an entire game on 7 seconds of meh. You could wait for the actual hyped material.
They cant sensor you at the moment. Tis will definitely be a good time to bash the hell out of G4 in person.
Bookmark this article, because when Microsoft gets to court, the % is going to jump when the documents are supeanaed.
We will also find out the exact 'user' base. Not the 'shipped' numbers. Which considering how many broken 360's are shipped over and over again, should be very interesting. My money is on the XBL #'s being relatively close to the actual sold #'s. THats 14 million, and maybe 2-4 million people just happen to have 360's without online.
Just to help some of you less jaded members, find out the PSN of the G4 guys, add them as friends. THEN join them. THats why there is a 'find friend' feature in home. So it puts you on the same server.
Re Visiting also works, but finding friends is faster.
All G4 is going to try to do is show how much of a Beta home beta is. They are going to blame anything on Sony for lying about 4d and killzone2's cgi trailer.
But as I said, notice where they decide t...
LBP selling a million worldwide is more than enough to justify a LBP2. Media Molecule already has a 3 title deal.
Popular games aren't guaranteed to be good. Just like good games aren't guaranteed to sell millions.
Microsoft set the stage for people to expect every title to have a 30 million dollar ad campaign and sell 8 million in minute one, but thats not the rule.
People are honestly looking at a few months of sales, and calling something a flop. Tha...
nice though.
yeah, look at your N4G participation. Breakfast, you live here.
Home is fun. Too bad everyone can't enjoy it.
Where do you honestly see the rush to Drop the price? as in it is some sort of panic mode over at Sony HQ?
I guarantee if the PS3 launched a year early and was at 25 million "shipped" the media would be all over how close the 360 has come to the ps3 in two years with 17million *sold*.
Needs a pricecut, thats obvious. But What is the rush? If the 360 drops its price to a record low and only sells 100k more in its lifetime at the same time, where is the emer...
"I'll admit, I really wanted to dislike Home from the start, and it did absolutely nothing to convince me it is anything other than a waste of time, energy, and money for everyone involved.
Sony have very successfully replicated all of the tedium of everyday life, without any of the fun that could be had in a virtual world. All wrapped around a vacuous, hollow shell of a game filled with barriers, both to your time, freedom, and wallet.
lolsony. "

Fable 2 and Gears 2 = 365 days of gaming? Are you high?
Toss in L4D as well even though its a multiplat. The facts remain, the PS3 had higher scoring exclusives in 2008.
Where are the 360 games that made such a great lineup in 2008.
Lips and Banjo?
Come on. Start naming names, or just move on. No more responses that have nothing to do with the 360's amazing 2008 lineup.

Please, enlighten us with your am...
2008, PS3 has better games. So as far as 'who had better games in 2008?'
Sony did.
Why no one will give credit where credit will do is mind boggling.
If Microsoft themselves didn't use Metacritic, then I'd see the point. But unfortunately they do.
Its only fair. Everyone crying about MC needs to search back in N4G In 2007 with all the "OMG FLOP ITS NOT AAA" bs going around.

Metacritic, gamerankings all back that fact up.
The 360 gets a pass because it drops the price below the wii, and gets gears2 out? Please.
2008 is definitely the PS3's year. Notice no one will talk about the actual substance here as in the GAME LINEUP. no. People will just stick to saying 'no its not' instead of wondering why Zoids Assault is lower scoring than Haze.
2008 the ps3 had better games, 2009 is going to be the same thing. But it just goes to s...
Point is, don't buy buggy garbage and pat developers on the back for doing so, then be upset when they don't run to fix issues but instead choose to throw DLC $ at you.
If you cant understand that.. oh well. All the idiots that supported GTA4 are going to get a great underwhelming GTA5 as well.
You shouldn't have to treat your RRODbox like its made out of china. I mean, youhave to thanks to terrible hardware.. but thats not the point.
It happens. Kids, Animals. It happens.
Its just unfortunate that if the 360 barely moves, the disc pops out and gets scratched to all hell.
And its very fortunate that the PS3 can play a disc while upside down. As most standard DVD players can.
Breakfast, please. Look at your n4g score. This site is your second job.
If you dont want to discuss any of my comment. dont bother replying to pretend that you are above other people on N4G.
I think this entire thing goes back to that. The people that bought the DC that didn't have a PS2.. and watched the PS2 kill off the DC. Well, Sega's fault more than the success of the ps2. But Those same people are single xbox1 owners, and now, 360 owners.
There is a definite rush to define the PS3 as a failure. Although, numbers and logic dont back it up. Microsofts PR has spun this web of severe party lines to where at every opportunity you have people writing articles about s...
Most good games sell well enough to warrant sequels. Microsoft set the try to rush sony out of the door with a 30 million dollar ad campaign for halo3.
This is not normal in gaming.
Games like:
Uncharted sold well considering its advertising. Thus the Uncharted2
Motorstorm 1 sold well. Thus Motorstorm 2
Resistance 1 sold well. Thus Resistance 2
Killzone1 had a decent fanbase and sales, thus. Killzone2.
I mean I unde...
Its just nonsense. I'm sure if they keep saying it enough it will saturate the consumer base though. Just like the whole "NO GAMES" stigma.
And thats clearly what whoever is banking on. Sucks that no one can look at 2008 and compare the game lineups. Nah, thats just stupid. Since we all just care about sales.
If 25 million SHIPPED 360's is KILLING the PS3 beyond recovery, then what do you call the Wii's lead over the 360? I mean according to 360 vs PS3 log...
I said it would make more sense to WAIT FOR SONY TO ACTUALLY COMPETE BEFORE DECLARING A VICTORY.
You cant run around gloating that Microsoft adverrises soo much more, when Sony hasn't even really heavily advertised on a COMPETITIVE(this is a keyword here) Level. Same with the Pricing of the ps3. It is clearly not priced competitively, so instead of running around pretending you've won a race. It would make more sense to WAIT for the other company to actively start competing in pr...
