-No, it launched at $400. I know because I bought a Pro model at launch and that is how much it cost.

@DaTruth

You are the funniest guy around. You think GoW2 looks like a next gen game, but it isn't even close. It looks like a good last gen game, because that is exactly what it is: a last gen game that was one of the better looking games at the time but in technical terms is nowhere close to even the average games of today (except Wii games).-

-There are only two games on the ps3 that you could even argue looking better than the better looking 360 games--Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2--and those games both came out fairly recently, so it is a moot point. Personally, what I have seen of Alan Wake looks better than any other game out on consoles.-

-"Zipper are trying to simulate a real battlefield."

Emulating real life is not what games are necessarily about. There are lots of ways games could try to be more like real life that would only make for worse games. Oftentimes when developers try to make things more "realistic" they only hurt the gameplay and the overall experience.

My favorite online game on the PS3 by far is Uncharted 2 and that is only 5 vs 5. It's not about numbers of play...

Neither game is a flop.

-Sorry, you are wrong there. Even Metacritic has 809 games listed for the 360. The PS3 only has 476.

The 360 has a whole hell of a lot more games than the PS3 or the Wii.

Like I posted in another article, the 360 also has a lot more quality games than either of the other two consoles.

The Wii only has 130 games rated higher than 75 on metacritic.

The PS3 has 212 games rated higher than 75 on metacritic.

The Xbox 360 has 304 ga...

-That's true. The 360 has by far the largest library of games. And it also has the largest number of good games.

The Wii only has 130 games that are rated 75 or higher on metacritic.

The PS3 has 212 games that are rated 75 or higher.

The Xbox 360 has 304 games rated 75 or higher on metacritic.

In terms of quality games the 360 has nearly as many as the PS3 and Wii combined!-

-You mean buying more studios so that even more multiplatform games can become exclusives and only be enjoyed by owners of one console?

Microsoft has a different approach and so far I think they are doing just fine. I still see more games on my 360 that I want to play than on my PS3 or Wii. Microsoft tends to get exclusive deals on a game to game basis. Take Gears of War, it is made by a 3rd party studio, while it is funded and published by Microsoft. Owning a studio is not t...

-Pure garbage post.

The reason I bought my 360 is because I like its games, I like the controller, I like the online service, I like the downloadable Xbox Live Arcade games, and I like its user interface. None of the reasons I bought a 360 were because of its price.

I am a console gamer and if you think I care that a few of the awesome 360 games this year can also be enjoyed by PC gamers you are wrong. I couldn't care less. It doesn't minimize the console in the s...

-Now people are bragging about how much a console costs and how long it takes a console to reach a low cost? I will bet money that the 360 will not be down to $99 this year. But even if it did, so what? If MS can get the price that low and out-compete its competition, well that's just good business. And obviously consumers are not going to complain either.

The Xbox 360 Arcade SKU was 299 dollars when the console was launched and now it costs 199 dollars. After over 4 years...

-GOTY awards don't say anything about graphics.

The graphics awards on the other hand show that some reviewers thought Uncharted 2 looked better than any other game in 2009 (including Killzone 2), but none of them said anything about looking miles better than "anything the 360 can handle". That is the part that silly PS3 fanboys add in on their own to make themselves feel better.

Mass Effect 2 already looks better to me than Uncharted 2 and I couldn't ca...

-Critics at least have to try to be impartial. User reviews on the other hand are just a playground for fanboys to tear down a game on the opposing console or unrealistically overpraise a game on their console. They are worthless. Especially the ones on metacritic.-

-You always act like if a reviewer says something it is law. Reviews are just opinions. We all have our own opinions about things.

How many reviewers specifically stated that they thought Uncharted 2 was better looking than any other game on consoles? Very few, if any. But with the diversity of opinion that exists among human beings it was inevitable that somebody would think that.

The vast majority of reviewers simply commented on how nice the game looks and d...

-Great post. You are right, they are not the same type of game. There are a few superficial similarities, but they aren't trying to do the same things.

I don't know why they can't both be good games and just let people enjoy what they enjoy. Instead there are a bunch of people attacking one game and making it sound like the other game is the best thing since sliced bread.-

-Why would anybody care what a guy thinks when he believes that Square made two separate engines, but then just purposely downgraded the PS3 version "to make Microsoft happy". How completely ignorant do you have to be to believe something as illogical as that?

No wonder you are such a poor judge of graphics. Alan Wake does look right up there with the best looking games on either console. It might even look better, but I'll reserve final judgment for when I play the ...

-MGS4 is a fantastic game, but visually it is way overrated. Lots of games look better than MGS4. I was just comparing MW2 on the 360 to MGS4 on the PS3 and there was no doubt that MW2 looked better. Assassin's Creed looks better. Resident Evil 5 looks better. It's a good looking title, but it's far from being the best on consoles.

I have no doubt that Rising will look better.-
