@ GameDev
I don't think MS are using strong arm tactics, they are trying to compete in the market.
This is exactly what Sony did with PS1 and PS2
Face it, if MS did not want competition it could just buy Sony.
This is not news, this is the opinion of some idiot.
Hi rant does nothing but make him sound like an idiot, his fellow countrymen should be ashamed.
@ Imallvol7
I am not saying that 360 has the better line up I am just pointing out that the 360 does have some good exclusives, I keep reading that it has nothing this holiday.
It is up to the consumer to decide.
I am very interested to see if LBP is a system seller or not.
@ Lets-Game
Thanks for the correction.
All I am saying is that it is not my opinion or your opinion that matters, at the end of the day all that will matter is sales numbers. The public will decide.
Who knows which will be the massive sellers and the flops or even the most underated games.
Sony are to blame here not Square.
They delayed the release of their machine, because they believed they owned the market.
Unfortunately, delaying the PS3 and making it a trojan horse for Blu Ray is hurting them.
360 got out there early with a machine that can do most of the things the PS3 can do and got development kit out early too, so now most studios us 360 as the lead platform.
Wii launched an inovative machine that was cheaper ...
Shoot'em ups and RPGs, 360 is onto the right path in Japan
This is not news it is a blog by a fanboy.
He says "Microsoft isn't going to beat Sony this year on software. We know this. Sony has the better software exclusives this Holiday and if they don't have it exclusive they have it multi platform"
to get some facts out there, these are this holidays console exclusive.
360
Saints Row 2, Fable 2, Scene it! BOS. Gears 2, Banjo N&B, Lips, Your in the movies, Left 4 Dead, Last Remnant.
...
WKC is going to be huge, but sorry R2 will not be massive in Japan.
@ Lanoire
WKC will indeed be massive, but I think you are going to be dissapointed at LBP's performance and HOME is just a beta.
I think you are forgetting that apart from Last Remnant, MS has Fable 2 and it is going to sell well. Fallout 3 is going to sell on the 360 too.
GTAIV is going to sell well on both systems, better on the PS3.
Please do not ignore 360s NXE and Avatars either.
360 is in the race now in Japan.
This report was too biased the fact that he used this line "Though I do think it’s safe to say that they’ll stay on top of the PS3 for quite a while." shows it.
Any reasonable 360 owner knows that the PS3 will sell tons when WKC and FFXIII comes out.
@ Lightning PS3PS3
Just thought I would point out that is was last week that the 360 beat PS3 by 1k the previous weeks were 2.5k, 6k and 20k. 360 is getting closer to where it needs to be, but I can...
I do think that Sony made a mistake pushing Blu Ray on us, it was just too expensive and adds too much cost to the machine.
If they had got to market earlier instead of waiting for Blu Ray, kept backwards compatibility the game would have been over long ago for MS.
@Jecht
I have not read anyone saying 360 owns Japan, at most the 360 has had a small revival in a country where it looked dead and buried.
@ Jecht
Name calling means you have lost an argument. My tag is Emmo as it is a nick name derived from my surname, this has been my nickname for 20 odd years. If I was an Emo I think I would probably be the oldest one on the planet.
Indeed the PS3 has been outselling the 360 this year worldwide, but that has changed since the price cut and with the global credit crunch 360 now looks stronger.
I was merely pointing out a fact that the 360 has outso...
Hey clifbo, read my second post. ;)
Cheer up man
@Cereal killer
Sorry, I should proof read my messages better. R2 :(
Just from the sales on Amazon JP, Fable 2 has been out selling if for a long time now on pre-orders as has GTAVI on the PS3.
I know Amazon charts are anything but reliable, but they are good for guessing pre-orders.
I am going to guess that GTA has a better opening week than LBP.
Anyway if it doesn't my theory is shot to c.ck
Great reply.
It'll be a close race, but come the begining of Nov I might be looking for a pet shop that stocks polar bears.
360 has outsold PS3 for August and September combined (with supply issues)and has a shot at doing it for 3 months combined.
What will you all be saying if that happens.
Edit
HA!HA!HA! Brilliant, I get a disagree with a fact
@ Highdro
Agreed right now the Wii is kicking both PS3 and 360's ass.
But I bet Nintendo bring out a new machine before Sony or MS. therefore pulling out of this war (your words) and correct me if I am wrong is a war not won by the last man standing.
@Lanoire
The Japanese are not rushing out in huge numbers to pre order LBP, so I hope Sony are not banking on that like they were with Rachet and Unchartered.
WKC looks like it is going to be very big.
Fable 2 is in my opinion going to beat LBP for it's first week sales ( just a guess people)
@chasuk08
Now that is not true is it.
If you only want to play gears 2 and fable 2 you could play them for as little as £170 if you buy an Arcade plus the two games.
If you wanted to buy an Elite wireless adaptor and the two games you can currently get them for about £300
Not everyone wants a wireless adaptor, you may want to play the game offline, or like me, just run a cable to your modem.
