-I prefer my 360, but I agree with you guys. This is good for everybody and I'm happy Sony made this move.-
-I get lag on Killzone 2 a lot. Xbox Live is not any more laggy than PSN, that's just a fanboy myth.-
-Killzone 2 is good, but Resistance 2 wasn't anything special at all. Mag? Who knows. It looks ok so far.-
-Where's Tenchu?-
-I gotta give this game a go. Sounds great.-
-What the PS3 faithful fail to tell you is that many of those cars in GT are very similar iterations of each other. The actual diversity of distinct vehicles makes the two games quite comparable. Not to mention if you just want iterations of the same cars, Forza 3 has a deep customization aspect that allows you to change a lot about the way your car looks and performs. In any case, using a detached metric like number of cars to somehow decide how good a racing sim is is silly. You have to...
-Yeah, we do. Because you are one of the biggest ps3 diehards on here.-
-PS3 loyalists' attempts to downplay this game are amusing. Game looks freaking great in any case.-
-I saw that, but I believe Gameinformer were just trying to throw in something negative to balance their gushing over Microsoft's showing at E3. How would Gameinformer know anything? What data is that based on?
It's obvious the problem has drastically slowed down. I don't hear nearly as many reports any more and none of the people I know that have bought a 360 in the past half year or so have had a problem. We know for a fact that the cause of the RROD was heat, so with a smaller, c...
-Why do they need to embed wi-fi when not everybody uses it? Look, first of all probably around 35 or 45% of people don't even have high speed internet, then out of those that do maybe only around half (at most) would require a wireless set up. It's a known fact that a wired connection will give you a faster, more reliable connection to Xbox Live, so if you don't have to use Wi-fi why would you? That option is there though for those who need it.-
-Nah, you're totally a troll. And you're full of it. Gears 2 looks noticeably better, to the point that many reviewers even mentioned that in their reviews.-
-Yeah, I think you are the only one. I thought the textures on the whole looked great. Definitely well above average.-
-Not a big difference, but the 360 version does look a bit sharper and clearer to me.-
-Looks pretty close to me, just that the 360 version looks slightly sharper and clearer.-
-This is good news. I already have a Paypal account that I use all the time and it would be convenient to use that instead. Nice.-
-I've had my eye on Trine for some time and it looks amazing. Happily it is getting nice reviews as well.-
-You have to think about where these consoles' strong regions are. The DS gets a huge percentage of its sales in Japan. The Wii too. The PS3 is also much stronger in Japan than the 360, while in North America it is the 360 which is much more dominant.
You don't think the PS3 has sold around 7 million more in Asia, Australia, South Africa, and the rest of Europe that wasn't counted? I think that seems completely reasonable.
Based on all the numbers we have ever ...
-Again, as Death already pointed out, these numbers are only for North America and most of Europe. They don't cover Asia and the other smaller regions. Based on all the data I have seen previously these numbers look roughly accurate.-
Edit -The article made the mistake of labelling it "Worldwide installed bases according to NPD and Gfk*", which is misleading people.-
-I don't know how many times people are going to have to be beat over the head with this until they finally get it, but you are exactly right Xi. Console makers only know how many consoles they have sold to retailers, they have no reliable way to know how many consoles are currently in people's homes.
These numbers that people are debating are for North America and most of Europe, as the article states, and do not cover sales in other regions.-
-But don't you guys get it? Xbox 360 fans can say the same thing. The only reason I defend the 360 is because there are hordes of PS3 fanboys CONSTANTLY attacking it.-
