"How is Natal innovative when Sony did this years ago"

Do you mean that when Sony copied Dreamcast camera years ago?

"Cause we all already know Microsoft hasn't done anything innovative since getting into the video game business"

Yes. Sony did invent easy network gaming with consoles and all the network supplementary services and Microsoft cruelly copied that...No wait!

I wonder are you mixing "jittery framerate" to those events where game is using slow motion as alliteration?

Didn't they give LBP full 10?

"please tell me thats ingame"

At least Pelaaja magazine says it's ingame picture. Of course it wouldn't be first time some one says that about ingame cinematic trailer.

You should also note that there were Heavy Rain is only CGI movie with choises Alan Wake is open world game. If you wan't compare graphics to other games GTA4, Saints Row 2 and Mercenaries 2 would be poper games to do comparison.

Europe doesn't hate XO. RRoD and noisiness is one part of problem and Blu-Ray is big plus for Sony, but also major difference is what you get with XO in Europe.

Most part of Europe you can't get any video service with Live and we can only dream services like Netflix trough Live. Still Live price in US$ is much higher here than in US.

Also we love casual games and there isn't any great one in XO. Scene It did try copy Sony's Buzz, but it did do EVERYTHING wrong. Casua...

Rockstar did buy Max Payne rights from Remedy and there is movie coming about Max Payne so maybe Max Payne 3?

Microsoft still owns 49% of bungie shares and 100% of Halo brand.

I can't help wondering how that right analog stick fighting system would work with darwin or any other motion controller? Only problem probably would be lack of buttons in darwin?

If I remember correctly, there were small article in Finnish game magazine where Remedy guys did say that all basic components in Alan Wake are already done and since April they have been doing only bug fixing and some fine tune to game mechanics. If that is true then it's more than likely that Alan Wake is coming this fall.

For PS3 owners that is good news, but for XBox 360 owners and especially for XO Core owners that is really excellent news. If they really can more than double the speed of data reading from DVD-9, there will not be any need to use HDD for data buffering even in big sandbox games like GTAIV.

Also if it's possible to compress even more data to DVD-9 without losing processing power to real time decompression, that would help developers create even bigger games to single DVD-9 disc....

You didn't read my post well than enough. I did say that if PS3 version will be delayed 6+ months compared to XO versiopn, then that will effect to sales. You can check any NOT simultaneous game releases sell figures on PS3 and XO (COD4 versions were released same time for both platforms and MGS4 is only for PS3. Orange box is one good example about risks of delayed release).

I'm quite sure that effect will happen also other way round with UT3 release. XO version will not sell...

Timed exclusivity of RE5 would be brilliant move from Capcom as it was from 2K with Bioshock. Developing AAA title for PS3 and XBox360 is really expensive and it's very likely that development of PS3 version is dragging badly behind compared to development of XO version (nothing new in that). So what to do?

1. You could hire more people to PS3 development, but it would explode your total and monthly costs of development and risks would get very high for company (if sales of RE5 w...

How many of those who say Eurogamers review is total BS have really play MGS4? If you haven't play the game, how in h€ll you can say MGS4 is best thing after sliced bread? That is just stupid fanboyism!

Eurogamer did also similar review about Mass Effect (same 8 in there too and after that every Sony fanatic did say that Mass Effect isn't that good, because Eurogamer did give it only 8) even it's the best WRPG in the world at the moment. Or it's best WRPG at least for those fans...

I really can't understand what is causing all that fuss in that letter? Game developers have send for ages premature versions of games to reviewers, because they want to get reviews out at same time as game is released to get maximum impact for sales. EVERY game developer and company are doing same thing.

Also it's well known fact that XBox 360 can't read those pre-release DVD-R discs as fast as final releases printed DVD-discs (thats also why those pirated GTA IV versions didn't...

Difference between streaming data from DVD and HDD is time. Getting data from DVD is slower than getting it from HDD. Also data in DVD is always compressed and it needs to be decompressed by CPU before usage, but HDD doesn't have similar size limits than DVD, so data can be stored without any compression and CPU and GPU can use it without any delays.

"I believe this title originally began development on PS3, I highly doubt there will be any frame rate issues. "

Rockstar did start GTAIV development at 2004, so I seriously doubt that they did began GTAIV development with on PS3 platform. Sony did get first final PS3 development platform ready only 6 months before PS3 release, which is over a year later than first XO development platforms did come to third-party developers (and first PS3 development platforms did go to...

It's funny that all PS3 pro's are "maybe coming in future" or "rumors say", but all XO features are something what they are delivering for sure. It's also funny to see that after 2007 there still are huge load of PS3 fan's who still believes that in GTA IV PS3 version there will be superior textures and no frame rate problems even PS3 have smaller available main memory and video memory.

Basically this list includes PS3 exclusive releases for years 2008, 2009 and even some in 2010 and Xbox360 exclusive releases for year 2008. All XBox360 games are at least planned to release in 2008. MS haven't release any information about exclusive games which will be released after 2008 and that's why this list is totally useless. If you want to compare XBox360 and PS3 exclusive releases, you should use for PS3 list which would look something like this:

Difference between Resistance and Halo is that there were a lot of people who bought XBox just for playing first Halo, but most of Resistance buyers did by PS3 for playing GT5, FFXIII or MGS4 and they did get Resistance, because there weren't any other decent games available for PS3 at launch. So no system seller status for Resistance. At least not yet.

There is solid fan base for MGS4 in Japan and europe, but it won't be even close as good system seller as GT5, FFXIII or even Ge...

First sorry about my bad english, but try to bear it. This patent isn't any april fools, but it doesn't include all in-game music as some have concluded here. MS has patent method to play in-game music trough OS so game developer don't need to build support for that feature inside game. It's possible to have in-game music in PS3, if game developer build's it to game (like in StardustHD), but Sony can't make standard OS solutions for in-game music as long that patent is effective.
