that you can just accept the fact that people's opinions may differ from yours. Personally, I think Saints Row and Dead Rising are great games. Obviously there are many others that do as well, judging by the solid reviews and sales. Besides, I have a feeling that you didn't even play these games.
In the U.S., the legal system works on an 'innocent until proven guilty' mantra. Your trial does not start immediately after you are arrested. Since you are not proven guilty until trial, to keep someone in prison before the trail would go against the mantra. However, if people are just let out of jail to await their trail, the guilty ones would just run for it. Therefore the concept of bail is set up. All bail is is a monetary amount that will allow people to await their trial out of prison....
Only one point was Sony-fanboy specific. The rest, as stated in my post, were fanboys in general. Therefore, your need to single out 360 fanboys was unwarranted.
the fanboy comment from MikeMichaels is the epitamy of all that is ignorant from fanboys. Let's break it down:
First, you must start with some sort of insult that reveals that the mental age of you as a poster is about five. In this case, he chose the ever popular "xtard."
Second, and this is Sony-specific, you must use the 'just you wait and see' line. For the past year plus now, all Sony fanboys have taken the approach of, 'oh yeah, well once [insert ...
It's just an article measuring noise. I do find it funny, though, that with all the 360 bashing of it being so loud, that it turns out to be the least loud of the three.
they do not cover total amount of sales in the U.S. as they do not include many retail stores like Wal-Mart. It's not quite as bleak as it seems for the PS3, and both the Wii and the 360 sold more than that. If these numbers were precisely right, then how did Nintendo possibly sell nearly 4 million units worldwide when the U.S. is by far the most lucrative market for consoles?
Yeah, that 'big mouth american' comment makes sense, considering Sony talks more smack than anyone. So, what, does that make them 'big mouth Japanese'? At least you give credence to the idea of 'worldwide ignorance'.
most of the studios they purchased, although I think they may have used Rare in the wrong capacity. I think saying MS would kill the franchises is a bit strong. EA would definately kill them, but MS has put out some strong stuff. MS is also realizing that in order to sell consoles in Japan, the games have to be what the Japanese like. You can see with games like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, both funded by MS, that MS is taking a back seat to the developers and is letting them do their thing....
..wasn't THAT bad. If you planned out your saves it was no problem. There were bathrooms and such scattered throughout the mall. You just had to make sure your route to the next objective went past one of them. No big deal.
was able to manufacture more 360s last holiday, then it would have sold a lot more as well, seeing as they kept selling out in stores until March. Nintendo, because of its much more simplistic machine, was able to manufacture more units at launch than both Sony and MS, hence the higher launch sales numbers and higher profits for Nintendo.
Something I never would have imagined a year ago was that I would be seeing PS3s on shelves during its first holiday season, especially with...
The 360 doesn't need or want a web browser. Who doesn't own a PC? Who doesn't own a PC with Windows and Internet Explorer? MS's dream for the 360 is the magic box that hooks up to your TV and does all the multi-media stuff. The 360 is not designed to replace a PC and, frankly, no game console will. Sony's claims are a pipe dream, and nothing more. There is a 'utility' difference between game consoles and PC's. If you make a game console do everything a PC does, then all you have is a PC (whic...
Good post, although I disagree. Still it's good to see a rational argument.
Where I disagree with you is that game consoles will never 'take the place' of PCs. If a game console were to do everything a PC does, well it would just be a PC. If Sony wants to take on Dell, HP, etc. so be it, but a game console is inherently different from a PC (ie. PCs do work applications).
A game console is more of a media device. This is where MS's 'Live Anywhere' and connecting Z...
gets the award for most childish Sony fanboy comments so far this week, but it is only Monday.....a lot more could happen.
The difference between the two companies' mantras is so blatantly obvious that I'm surprised that it needs to be spelled out for some people, but hey that's the beauty of fanboys.
MS already owns the PC world with its software. There is no need for MS to make PCs like Dell, HP, or whatever as they make WAY more money with their software. What...
MS has already confirmed that the 360 outputs digital. Therefore the '360 can't do HDMI' argument is completely false. MS has repeatedly stated that if there is a demand for HDMI, they'll make a cable for it. It's just that simple. My bet is that the 360 in the video is modded, not manufactured by MS. Is there a chance MS will release a new 360 version with an HDMI port built in? Possibly. Can current 360s be upgraded? Yes. Therefore, the only reason why MS would release a new version is to h...
Except you can still play the same games, same quality, same resolution, on the current 360 without these upgrades. Additionally, both upgrades are possible with current 360s (HDMI and bigger HDD). Therefore, your point is irrelevant.
If you don't want or need HDMI, don't get it. If you don't want or need WiFi, don't get it. If you don't want or need a bigger HDD, don't get. You can still play the same games with the same graphics, same resolution, same online, without them. Talk about making a big deal out of nothing, man. I'm simply stunned that people are against having the OPTION of upgrading a console, especially since none of these upgrades are needed. They are simply options.
People are acting as if n...
it's always been known that MS will be coming out with a bigger HDD and HDMI. Current 360 owners will not be screwed as they will be able to upgrade (HDMI is just a cable and cables do have adapters & the 360 HDD's are detachable). That's the beauty of the 360. Now, if MS want to offer a different SKU with different options for a different price, so be it. Is that all that different than a console being bundled with certain games, controllers, remotes, etc? No, not at all.

themselves going down the crapper. It's quite obvious that EA feels that console gaming revolves entirely around them. Very similar, actually, to Square's comments that they can solely make or break a console's success. Too much arrogance from these companies, especially when there are a ton of good games out and coming out not developed by these two. Personally, I think the most negative force on gaming is EA, with their rehashed crap games, buggy software, sports license monopoly, and price...
this from a source that's more reliable than 1up. IMO, 1up & EGM are the most unreliable gaming sources out there.
but he didn't touch on XNA very much, or the other tools that MS offers developers. While in the grand scheme of things, these may not be that big, combined with a platform that's much easier and cost effective to develop for than the competition, they can help add to the list of developers that hop on board the 360's wagon. Otherwise, this author hit on every major point.
