as time goes, just like in every gen, both PS and Xbox will learn how to make better games with their hardware. do you really believe the 360 has reached its limits? c'mon now
I gotta agree completely with Zhuk
Whats funny is that in the last gen Xbox being the more powerful console that proved it on every multi-play game still lost big time to the inferior PS2..
And now every PS3 fan screams of how powerful the PS3 is without realizing its about the games....and if the PS3 is so powerful, its getting whooped by the inferior 360 and the games even play and look better on the 360. WOW!!!
oh and 2008, its all about GTA4!! ...
Being I live in America where there are alot of loyal PS fans, and I have friends that are huge GTA fans, I make I it a point to tell them that the developers themselves said that the FULL gta4 experience can only be found on the 360.
Then I have the hardcore Madden fans where I tell them that the last two years the 360 had the better Madden game, especially with 08 at 60fps compared to PS3 at 30 ;)
And then if one of my friends is on the fence, I tell em do a ...
The guys at microsoft are smart... drop the arcade to $199 and the premium to $280 and the mass market will jump right in.
And being GTA4 has the exclusive content on 360 and its the biggest blockbuster game being released next year....with the right M$ marketing educating consumers the fact that the full GTA4 experience can only be played on the Xbox 360 will also help move more 360's.
So what has sony got left? GT that will get delayed till 09, and MGS4 a prove...

Why in the world do you fanboys want one console to fail. Do you not realize that competition is what drives industry? And i've got to give it to you guys.. When it comes from the creator of the game that it's exclusive you don't believe it yet you'll believe a fan website? Explain to me how that makes sense? "
First, the same way the creators of Gears of War (epic)said it wouldn't come to PC or the creators of Virtual Fighter 5 (sega) said its...
Being that Metal Gear has already appeared on original Xbox and Gamecube you can only assume it will come to the 360 with a much highest installed base and higher proven software sales than PS3. it will be a sad day for PS owners when this rumor is confirmed true. There are only two major exclusives left for PS3 that can help sell systems, MGS4 and FF.
If this rumor is true, hopefully it will be confirmed before the game comes out for PS3 ;)
gotta be the dumbest comment so far...
how do you explain Metal Gear Substance on original Xbox and Solid Snake on Gamecube then???
It would be nice to go back to this thread after MGS4 is released on the 360 and read all your ignorant comments. If Sony didn't pay for exclusive rights, then why in the hell do you guys not think that it wouldn't be on 360 down the road????
Reasons why it will be released:
1. Past practice by Konami (Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance were also released on Xbox and the Gamecube eventually)
2. The number of 360 owners compared to the PS3
3. The fact that 360 ...
wait a minute!?! what about game of the decade fueled by dew award??
and although I agree COD4 beats most games as far as graphics, crysis beats it without a doubt.
man.... i had to reset my modem, my router....and still didn't work. Called and talked to verizon tech support.
good to know im not the only one
hope they fix it quick
its funny how all ps fans now dismiss GTA4. It was only the best selling series on PS2....but i could understand you guys putting up a hissy fit now that the 360 is getting exclusive content.
No one knows what the exclusive content is, but $50 million doesn't just buy extra horse armor. The guys at M$ are smart, and Sony messed up big time letting their best selling EXCLUSIVE series slip right from under them.
GTA4 will sell consoles.....way more than MGS4 ever ...
this is exactly what i've been thinking for a while...
of course a price cut is coming, and i would expect it aroung the time GTA4 comes out, which will be without a doubt the best selling game of 2008, and being the better version as said by the developers is on the 360 due to exclusive content, 360 sees another big jump in sales.
You take the games out of the premium and drop it to $279,
and you drop the acrade to the SWEET SPOT of $199.
a...
if the trend continues where developers very much dislike making games for ps3 and the multi-plat games on the ps3 suck in compared to the same games on the 360...then expect sony redesigned their next console to be more developer-friendly as in simlilar to a high end PC like xbox 360 did.
yes, PS3 could get some momentum going for next year....and yes it has some games to get excited about like KZ2 and MGS4 (FF and GT aren't confirmed for 2008, maybe 2009)
But MS will easily outsmart them again by easily using their biggest advantage..PRICE...drop the price around the same time GTA4 comes out. GTA4 will be the best selling game next year without a doubt, and the developers said it themselves already that if someone want to play the definitive complete GTA4 exper...
ummm... gear sold over 5 million, its the best selling game Epic has ever made, and there is the movie coming out, and it's supposed to be a trilogy.
say something more in the terms of reality next time. If there is a guarantee, its that Gear 2 is coming, the question remains...when
wow, if ps would bring back the 20 gig at $299, the 360 would be doomed
I agree with you.... i'm looking forward to Banjo also. I remember playing those games on the N64, reminded me alot like Mario.
And you forgot to mention that secrect Peter jackson Halo project....
or gears 2...either one of those games will keep the 360 on top when you include the other games on your list.
And since MGS4 will most likely be coming to 360 in 09 anyways... i could wait ;)
yep, i will be first to admit sony's line-up is looking REAL sweet next year.
however will the exec's at MS top such killer games??.....hmmm...let me see.... the number one advantage MS has over sony this generation is price point. What if they take the games out of the premium and drop it to $279 and drop the arcade to the PROVEN SWEET SPOT for the MASS MARKET to $199.....and to make it sweeter, drop the prices of the 360 around the time GTA4 with exclusive 360 episodic conte...
Class?!?!
like lying to its customers, saying backward comp is is something sony always supports and then dropping it? or saying to dont need rumble and now you have to pay EXTRA for new controlleres next year if you want it? or is it shoving blu-ray down your throat forcing you guys to pay an added 200 on a system when it is proven already that you do not need blu-ray to play next gen??
get youe head out of your a** kid dont make stupid comments like that.
will be great when MGS4 comes out even if it is 12 months later but looking better on 360. That would be classic!!!!...PS3's flagship game running better on the 360 hahaha hey, it happen with your precious exclusive VF5 and soon with GTA4 (because of the exclusive content)
