Of course it is mindblowing. They pushed the market leader into a financial nightmare. They established the best online service with revenue of about two billion dollar per year. They created the fastest selling gadget of all time and are reporting more than one billion USD profit per year..
I think this is a freaking achievement.
LoL troll harder.
VGC estimations can be found here:
http://www.vgchartz.com/art...
PS3: 733k!
Compare this to Pachter: 750k
Compare this to EEDAR: 693k
So a reasonable estimate by VGC.
LoL The biggest lead a system had since 2008, which was 900k. So the Xbox 360 will have about 1.6 million consoles sold in one month in the US and probably outsell the PS3 by 1 million.
Insane if you ask me.
story: Halo
Singleplayer: Halo
Multiplayer: Halo

N4G conclusion: Killzone wins.
Rest of the world: Keeps playing Halo.
I know, but for some reason MS published Arcade games might make their way to the PS3. Limbo was published by MS and ported (republished by playdead themselves) to the PS3 one year later.
One year is a hell of a time to wait for a 15 USD title if you ask me.
It is developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and published by MS. So if this is a timed exclusive, it will be at least one year.
And it looks pretty good if you ask me.
I am ready!
Please let it be episodic content via XBL. There has never been a better franchise for this than Alan Wake
why exclusivity? Because Sony paid us.
That sums it up.
Doing it Apple-Style means to use old hardware, tweak old software give it a nice design and a fancy name plus a retarded price tag and you are done.
Watch millions of people pay you hundreds of USD.
E3
GamesCom
TGS
CES
VGAs
Blizzcon
GDC
ComicCon
PAX
there are enough shows to present your games I think.
Wow 2:1 in favour of the Xbox in NA is huge.
So from that list, these games are confirmed:
- Twisted Metal
- Starhawk
- Sly TiT
- Last Guardian has no release date
- Dust is not PS3 only.
- God of War 4 not even announced
- Last of us is a freaking teaser clip
- and there are 2 rumors
That is a pretty weak lineup to be honest.
My Xbox 360 games next year:
1. Halo 4
2. Alan Wake 2
3. Max Payne 3
4. Ghost Recon Future Soldier
5. Ryse
6. GTA V
7. CoD Black Ops 2
8. Fable Journey
9. Steel Battalion
10. Witcher 2
but that is just me.
Even a console exclusive is not likely.
You basically ignore 2-3 million units sold. That would be about 100 million USD fpr Valve. I doubt it. Especially for VGA.
I was never Half Life fan though. Don't know why. I know there are a lot of HL fans out there, so it is good for them. Have fun with - It is just not my game.
Kinect Sports is a really good game and so is Kameo.
5 new studios in 6 months!
MS Soho
MS Family
MS Vancouver
MS Victoria
all just opened.
+ Twisted Pixel.
Microsoft is getting serious about their 1st party lineup.
MS owns NA.
I said this in another article that there is no chance that PS3 outsold Xbox 360.
Crows will be served.
There is just no way the PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 this.month in North America.
If you disagree show yourself so we can argue again when NPD numbers will be released.
I can't believe people disagree with me for correcting the nonsense "GamersRulz" posted. The estimation was in line with the estimations from different analysts.
PS3 did better than expected, but don't say VGC estimated 300k even though it is not true at all. Heck I even provided a link to the real VGC estimation.
