I don't know why Pachter always makes the Gaming News. He's always wrong! He's never made an intelligent prediction.
All day today I've been getting calls for Halo 2 and Xbox 360 Systems. However, my shop sold out of both Last week. If I had some commons sense, I would have ordered more copies of Halo 2. Its going to be crazy, I tell you that. Halo 3 is coming!!!!
The Halo fever has started. I'm sold out of Halo 2 and Xbox 360's. Everyone is getting ready. It's going to be crazy!
Of all the popular franchises and properties Sega owns, you'd think they'd try a little harder to please fans. Thanks for the wonderful line up of things to come.
Whether you favor Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft, all this competition between the game makers is wonderful and makes for a healthy video game market. In the end, it's us, the gamers that win.
Pachter has been wrong on most of his prediction but if Sony did Release a Playstation 3 Model at $399, it would help Sony better fight Halo 3. Now would be a good time for URT3.
There's been a lot of Xbox 360 bashing today by Playstation 3 Fanboys. They out number Xbox Fanboys. The truth is that most Xbox 360 fans are out playing great games. I think all of this is just a back lash from Xbox 360 getting Ninja Gaiden II as an exclusive.
It hard to believe that the Wii, with it's outdated technology is kicking a$$ and taking names. Though I'm not a Nintendo Fan, I'm really happy for the company. They do work hard at putting out top notch titles.
As for the Xbox 360, I did expect it to do better software wise but why would one complain. It's selling well.
Playstation 3... 130k units is a hell of a lot better than the 80k they were selling per month before the price drop.
So where did they take the Pole? Outside a PS3 fanboy convention? Well, the 360 is obviously out selling the PS3. It's above cool.
I repair Most video game systems. I don't touch the Xbox 360. There's no reason to. I just send them back to Microsoft and let them repair them.
My opinion of the Playstation 2 success may differ over yours. The system came out at a time when DVD players were very desired and expensive. It was a cheap way to get a DVD player. If you remember back when it PS2 was released, software sales were less than 1 unit of software per unit. However at the time, it was estimated that 5 DV...
My name is Dan and I own a video game store in Albuquerque New Mexico. I look a things from the point of view of a retailer and not a fanboy. For 2 Generation the Playstation family was the bread and butter of the shop. Playstation one and two sales continue to do well. However I've grown to hate the Playstation 3. It doesn't move. It doesn't sell. All though we carry used Playstation 3 games. I stopped carrying the Systems New and Used. For us, I no longer consider it a viable system. PSP do...
The analyst doesn't question the quality of the Playstation 3 games, he questions the calibur of the games. However she is talking about 2007 and not 2008. The games you mentioned aren't Christmas 2007 games my friend.
I couldn't agree more with this analyst. Smart man.
History does always repeat it's self. However in the case of the Playstation 3, it has more similarity to Sega Saturn that the original Playstation. In the case of Sega, they made the mistake of putting out a system that was over priced compared to the Playstation. It was released at $399, were as the Playstation was released at $299. Saturn got most of its games much later than Playstation versions. (Example: Resident Evil, Toshiden, Wipeout, Loaded, to name a few came out years on Playstati...
Sometimes there's nothing to get. OO7 Golden Eye by the standards of the day wasn't above and beyond other games in it genre. I can't even explain why so many loved it. It was just a fun game to play. So if Jaffe doesn't get Halo, his mind is clouded by his Sony Fanboyism.
As for his friend saying "F@#$ Halo", that's just something people say when they've been defeated.
It's always sad when game studio's close their doors. I was sad when Acclaim closed down and they sucked.
Boy!! PlayStation 3 is managing to get all of Xbox 360 old hand me downs!! Yeap! Playstation 3 is really shaping up!
I do believe that the Wii has sold more units that the Xbox 360 but I don't believe the Numbers this site is showing. I remember reading that Microsoft has shipped 11.4 million units way back in March. That doesn't mean sold to the public but Most of the Retailers locally only have newer models of Xbox 360. And many of the Used Xbox 360 that I've recieve here at the shop have a manufacture date after March. It would seem as though those 11 million should be sold by now.
I Guarantee that no one is going to have a hard time finding Halo 3. Halo 2 sold over 8 million units world wide. Microsoft is printing millions of units.
That's Tragic. I feel sadden for that family.
