Sorry I have nothing against Sony, but to say they earned their rep is just wrong.
They strong armed the compitition out of the market with PS1 and PS2, also before both machines came out they spent a hell of a lot of money hyping them and making false claims on their abilities. They then got Sega and Nintendo games on their system because it had the largest user base.
This is what MS is doing now, it is exactly the same. In fact you could say that MS learnt well from So...
Sony boys this is a 360 thread, go away.
Back to topic, I am really excited by Community games. This could lead to some gems. Obviously there is likely to be a lot of crap too, but what a great idea.
This is going to end up being very big for MS and it also means we get to play a ton of cheap games, cool.
Wow, you Sony boys have really gotten your knickers in a twist about this one.
This will hurt PS3 sales in Europe.
I can't believe they have done this.
Play and Amazon still have LBP listed as the 24th.
Good to see Fable 2 review. I have it on pre order
Don't tempt me.
I don't think it'll be too long before both MS and Sony have a motion controller, then maybe the Japanese will get into HD gaming.
Although their market seems to be going more mobile. Do the Japanese ever spend any time at home?
I have no idea which are more accurate, but I have noticed they have different games in there top 50 some times.
the big deal is not that the 360 is beating PS3, although that is very funny.
It is.
1: 360 sells 6.5k in a week with no releases and a very slow week, it was selling 1.5k back in May
2: these are record low numbers for the PS3, I hope it is because of the 80g coming out otherwise Sony is in deep s...
Media Create have been showing 360 sales above what Famitsu have them at lately
I really do not think that LBP is going to be huge in Japan.
Time will tell. We will know on Nov 5th
Oh well, PS3 will beat 360 next week ;-)
How many time have I heard that.
Can't wait to see if 360 can make it 2 months.
Metacritic scores
80% Gran Turismo
82% Motostorm
So on my list apart from IU and Too Human all those games are better than these to titles, not my opinion. Metacritic scores.
In fact 40 xbox 360 exclusive score 80% or higher and 24 PS3 games that score 80% or higher.
Add to that the fact that most multiplatform games are better on the 360, that is my choice of gaming consoles. I am not going to buy a PS3 just for WKC and LBP...
@Lanoire
This is a 360 post, get lost.
I hope the other reviews are good too, I have pre ordered this game.
I loved Crackdown, Viva Pinata, Scene it, Projet Gotham 3&4 and IU, Banjo, VP TiP and Lips, Scene it BOS are all on my to get list.
So yes I do think these are good games.
@Final RPG
You make some good points, but I would like to point out that you can get all the features you want from the 360 for £170 (60g Pro Pack- £145 in some stores) + live subscription (if you want to play online), which you can get for £26. (you can hard wire your 360 to the internet)
I am certainly not saying don't buy a PS3. If you like PS3s exclusive and want a Blu Ray player, buy it.
If the PS3 exclusives don't float your bo...
My point being that if Sony had kept backwards compatiblity and had a cheaper model without wi-fi and Blu Ray I would have bought it.
Now I do not see the point on Spending £300+ to play a couple of exclusives.
I understand what Sony were doing releasing a all singing all dancing machine, the problem is they took choice away and released a machine at £400+ this gave the 360 a lead and now they are having to battle to get on parity (sales wise)
...
just a few 360 titles missed out on your list
Project Gotham 4
Banjo N&B
Left 4 Dead
Braid
Scene it 1&2
Crackdown
Lips
VP
Too Human
IU.
Yes the PS3 has some good games, but so does the 360
@ Final RPG
It is only value if you want a Blu Ray player. If it was such great value it would have finished 360 off by now. It certainly is not great value as a games machine.
Calm down everyone, these are companies competing in a free market.
A lot of people are acting like someone has stolen their girlfriend.
Play your games and be happy with your choice of console, if your not happy with you choice trade it in for the other one. Even better if you can afford it get both.
