1.4 "For a Halo title its pretty bad though"
I'm just saying there are a LOT of significant territories missed France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Australia, Scandinavia etc are all significant territories Heck, Canada usually pushes 10% of the US's numbers too

Gran Turismo didn't have Ferrari's when Forza Motorsport launched and securing Ferrari licences was a big part of the reason FORZA was used in the title. You kids have no sense of history.
sales >TOP< 1.8 Million... That means sales are OVER 1.8M
Everyone is clawing to make negative comments like 1.8 Million sales is a bad number but let's actually READ
US 1,520,000
UK 294,000
Japan 33,000
total 1,847,000
BUT WAIT! that's hardly the whole world!!!
Where's France?
Where's Germany?
Where's Spain?
Where's Italy?
Where's Austrailia?
Where's Scandinavia?
Where's all the o...

It's classic how guys like you talk AT people and it is very apparent that you haven't read my comment or anybody else's comments or even the bulk of the very article you posted. lol

I guess Ferrari must have time travelled decades into the future to copy terminology from Polyphony Digital because that's how long Ferrari has been using the word Forza! There's even a magazine dedicated to Ferrari cars called Forza Magazine that started...
It's funny to see pro gt fans simply ignore what they don't want to see. You forgot some things in your list but for you I'll copy and paste the exact phrases back in here for you:
"Turn 10 clearly does not possess the single-minded focus on technical matters that Polyphony revels in (often to the exclusion of gameplay innovations, or improvements to other important aspects, such as car AI). It's fairly self-evident that the Forza team would dedicate resources into incorp...
@1.19 Da Truth
I don't know how you got that from that article?! The first two pages pretty much talk about how much better FM3 is than FM2 in pretty much every concievable way and I must have read a different comparison to the GT series than you...
So here's the highlights from the comparison again:
"Turn 10 clearly does not possess the single-minded focus on technical matters that Polyphony revels in (often to the exclusion of gameplay inno...
"there is a 1 million xbox in Japan
50k is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very poor"
Ummmmm... there are 4 million PS3s in japan and Uncharted 2 sold 54,000 in it's first week. How many very's would you use to describe how poor that is then? Maybe 50k isn't so bad after all?

Here are 13 compilations showing hundreds of rally crashes. These are the worst types of crashes with cars crashing directly into trees and rock cuts, rolling down hills, catching on fire, rolling and twisting through the air and even end over end summersaults through the air. Over 95% of these hundreds of rally crashes leaves the car out of the race completely. You see bumpers come off, tires come off and trunks unlatch and I even noticed 2 crashes where the hood became unlatched which is...
Sony: Hey, we sold 10 Million units in the PAL territory putting us neck and neck with Microsoft even though they had an 18 month lead here!
Intelligent Man: Really!
Sony: YEAH!
Intelligent Man: I thought Microsoft still had an 8 million console lead worldwide?
Sony: ummmm...
Intelligent Man: And didn't the PS2 lead the xbox by 130 million consoles last generation?
Microsoft: ummmm
Intelli...
This is easy. Even though it is a minority, the PS3 has a ridiculously aggressive group of fanboys. Any reporting that could be even remotely deemed as negative towards the ps3 results in screams about bias, being bought out be ms, poor journalism, laziness, stupidity, etc. and consistently getting that retort from the same group of readers is eventually going to jade a writer.
If you want an example that's fresh in my mind, just look at the way the fanboys responded to a m...
"I dont understand why they have to make statements like this"
Pure marketing. Ask a Ford dealer if the Camaro is a better, equivalent or worse car than a Mustang and he will talk all day about the virtues of the Mustang and the faults of the Camaro. But the reality is that the Mustang is his product and if you buy it he makes money. He doesn't sell a Camaro and won't make a cent if you buy one so no matter what, the Mustang is better.
This is the ve...
SCE's Kaz Hirai lied about the PS3? Weird. I guess I gotta take your word for it rather than reading the article...
I guess that even though the PS3 itself has dropped 70%, all the other things that make up the retail package like the controller, cables, packaging, manuals, discs etc all add up... I wonder how close they are to breaking even?
wow, I'm definitely going to pick up a couple of these... for ten bucks you can afford to buy a game you aren't sure you'll like!
I'm going to have to side with gameplayer on this one purely on the fact you can use multiple DVDs to even out any advantage of the larger disc. In the end, it's kind of inefficient anyway. There's very little quality gained in an uncompressed texture or sound compared to a proplerly compressed texture or sound. There's a reason everyone saves pictures as 200k jpg's rather than 10Mb bitmaps. The extra quality of using a bitmap doesn't outweigh the disadvantage of the file size. In a game...
Death always seems to hit the nail on the head.
The 'video games are the root of evil' argument is a complete farce. Maybe the people making these accusations should look at activities like paintball instead. Here you actually load a gun with ammo (paintballs) head out into a course and purposely hunt and shoot to kill other REAL people in REAL life yet using a controller while sitting on a couch to virtually kill an imaginary opponent on the television screen is what causes violence! HA!
Your vague consiracy implications are non existent. Companies like Microsoft and Sony are huge and they are bound to have multiple deals reaching across multiple companies. Sometimes these companies compete and other times they are in partnership. The Windows OS is on Sony laptops and cellphones and you can buy/watch sony movies and music in windows, on the Zune and on the 360.
With direct deals like these going on are you honestly expecting anyone to believe that Microsof...
Dante,
1. The word 'you' cannot be made plural by adding 'se' to the end of it. Try 'you guys' or even 'you people' if you want to also include the women on the site in your 'discussion'
2. try posting that inward spiral nonsense on the Audio Video Science Forums and see how long you last
3. I have training, specifically ISF and HAA certifications for calibrating display and audio devices. I make a living calibrating AV equipment in the film industry. I know when someo...
hahaha Could be Perkel! UC2 is a pretty good game. I consider vg to be an interesting site to look at for trends and rough numbers but that's about it...
