um, where does it say this is an official microsoft cable??? it is a third-party cable, NOT a microsoft add-on cable. it really gets old when people start writing comments that have zero to do with the actual article....are you going to write about how third-party add-on companies are screwing xbox owners by always making add-ons???
posting this kind of article has to be the dumbest "support" for sales I have ever seen...let's think about this for a brief second.
sales of ps3 on ebay are higher than other consoles....this means that there are NO SIGNIFICANT sales attached to ANY consoles, because ebay is NOT A RETAILER!!!
if someone buys a ps3 on ebay, that means an owner of a ps3 just SOLD theirs.....so it adds ZERO to the install base of ps3's....does anybody else realize this BA...
yes they let you play games online, but here is the big kicker....with the psn network and dedicated servers, as soon as a developer is no longer making tons of cash from a game, they will no longer offer the dedicated servers for that game since it would be too costly to maintain dedicated servers for an older game that maybe only a few thousand people still play, with xboxlive, all you need is 2 people that want to play the same game, whether it is brand new, or 5 years old, and you can ALW...
it should be out this week since it is already up on the xboxlive arcade website page...
this is awesome, bomberman multiplayer is an absolute blast! there need to be more multiplayer party games like this bomberman that is coming out next week!!
i think that the new heatsinks, and when they finally go to 65nm chipsets, the 360 will have much better reliability. i own a 360 (original launch console December 18,2005) and have not had any rings of death or anything, but it is obvious that the failure rate is higher on the 360 than any other console. anything they can do to improve cooling and reduce heat will help.
hopefully the heatnsink and new 65nm chips are in the consoles when i upgrade to the elite in the fall
if the 360 is on a fast downward spiral to oblivion by selling 155,000 consoles, then how would you describe the situation with the ps3??? the 360 sold almost DOUBLE the amount of consoles as the ps3....DOUBLE!!!!!
what is the logic in your statement??? if the 360 is spiraling to oblivion, then the ps3 is no longer in existance!!!!! morons, that's all we get around here from these sony fanboys. i am dumbfounded by their logic lol
blasphemy, you are a complete idiot. do you know how absolutely stupid your comment is? you are blasting the 360 for selling 155,000 consoles this past month, after being released for 18 months!!! your precious ps3 has been out for 6 months and has sold 80,000 consoles for the past TWO MONTHS!!!!! so let's take a look at this again, and really think about which console is on a fast downward spiral. also, the 155,000 consoles sold by the 360 is the LOWEST it has ever sold, while the ps3 h...
well, considering that japan was waiting on the ps3, and even those sales are rated as "poor" in sony's hometown, i would say baby steps is all microsoft can expect in japan right now. if microsoft can ramp up the number of rpg titles available for the 360, then they will start to sell more consoles. but since sales are lackluster for the 360 and ps3 both in japan, it really isn't the defining gaming market it once was. global sales are more evenly distributed today than they wer...
don't worry,. according to sony, the playstation "brand" is still selling like hot cakes, so everything is okay in their eyes lol they want everyone to ignore the fact that every single ps2 sale is a sale taken AWAY from the ps3 for the year.
i'm sorry, but making a comment about how the ps2 outsold the 360 is really kind of silly and dumb, considering the 360 almost DOUBLED the sales of the ps3. the 360 is supposed to be competing against the ps3 in sales, NOT the ps2....the fact that the ps2 is outselling the ps3 by about 3:1 every month is not a good sign for sony. they really need to quit saying that the playstation "brand" is selling great. umm, when the last gen ps2 is selling more than your next-gen ps3, that m...
i have to agree with all the people on here that think sharing gamesave files is absolutely stupid and considered cheating. what kind of a loser thinks that having a high gamer score, which he didn't earn at all, makes him some kind of elite gamer?? my score is not super high, but at least i EARNED every single little point that i have associated with my gamertag. i can look at my score and know i actually played games and felt a sense of accomplishment when i finally reached one of the ac...
oh right, you mean like sony trying to copy an online gaming network that microsoft had established for several years already? or bringing movie trailer downloads, downloadable demos, all sorts of downloadable content, achievements for games, or using a harddrive in their console and stufff like that? hmm, yeah i know exactly what you mean lol
let's not get started on copying innovations and all that crap, since if that is the case, then we should all be criticizing EVERY gam...
a turning of the tide would be if the ps3 was increasing in sales, by a larger margin each month, while the wii and 360 were selling less and less each month, and by a larger margin than increasing ps3 sales. so far, i have seen the exact opposite. the ps3 has been DECREASING in sales each month, while the wii and 360 have sustained their sales.
should we all get a life preserver in order not to drown from this enormous "turning of the tide" you are talking about? l...
i have had ZERO problems with my luanch xbox360 (December 18,2005). it seems a majority of the people that have had disk read problems (from the forums i read up on and on xboxlive) get that problem when they move their console while it is turned on. if peope move their console while it is on, then what do they really expect? i never had a disk scratched on the original xbox or on my xbox360. would you move your computer while you are playing a cd or dvd or while it is burning a dvd? it m...
i agree....what is the count in price cut articles, like 500?? i keep reading these hoping to read some kind of official word from microsoft or sony about cutting the price and by how much, but EVERY article is the same stupid thing. it revolves around some interview where someone from microsoft or sony said something and people jump onto the wording of one sentence that MIGHT have something to do with a price cut, if you read between the lines, add a few words, and push some words into peo...
the reason this is news is because this is a MOVIE that will be available in HD...plus the fact that Akira is an older anime movie, so having it in HD is a big plus to all those fans of the movie that have only viewed it in standard definition.....
even the power button looks EXACTLY like the 360 power button. okay, if this thing is not an authorized accessory for the 360 that was approved by microsoft, then i have a feeling there will be some legal issues. this company is clearly trying to market their wifi router to gamers so that they can sell more, especially to 360 owners
here is another absolutely stupid comment made in this article:
"It actually costs LESS to make a 360 than they are being sold for!"
um, does this twit realize that the 360 was losing money with each one sold when it came out? the reason it costs less to make than it is sold for is because manufacturing and price of parts is now LESS than it was when the console was first built. here is a news flash for this guy, ALL consoles will eventually cost less...
PSN copies all the features that microsoft has in xboxlive, so let's not start making dumb comments....in fact, last week there was an articel about PSN and the Sony exec stated specifically that xboxlive has a lot of great features that Sony is going to copy into their network...
