There are THREE Big Dates that we should look forward too..
1. Beta multi-player Release (ala Halo 3..ODST sales spike at Gamestop)
2. The highly highly anticipated Halo Reach E3 playable reveal
3. Massive Midnight Launch..Thousands and thousands attend
Top 5 'EvilDead' Halo Reach Predictions..
1. Record number of blog articles with Halo Reach in the title..
2. Halo Reach hate all year long..
3. 3 million...
We have seen it all before. In fact all last year, we watched again and again how blog sites criticized the 360 for having no exclusives.
But in 2010, the 360 Exclusives are as formidable as it has EVER been in the history of the system. (And this is before E3)..
True gamers and analysts know and have acknowledged this. But just like last year you are going to see fan blog sites try to smear the 360 games in order to pump up the PS3 exclusives.
In ...
Let's be 100% honest...
Microsoft has always been clear this generation in regards to it's strategy in regards to Japan. Lure prominent Japanese developers to make exclusives for it's system in order to build it's install base in the country.
Japanese RPGs are easily the biggest genre in that regards. Final Fantasy is obviously the biggest RPG franchise in the universe and the Square Enix cash cow. (and the biggest 360 coupe of the E3 2008)
We all ...
Don't worry kiddies there will be plenty more of these to come. It's the old Fan blogger trick yet..but this one is especially easy to see through.
Put the exclusives sise by side..claim to be unbiased and slyly in most cases rip the 360 exclusives unnecessarily (no matter how good)and claim a victory for the PS3..
But, at it's core it fails..because it's pure 360 hater fantasy
Here's just a small example without looking too deep..
H...
After buying a PS3 Slim last year and playing 95% of it's best exclusives..it isn't even close.
I would NEVER give up the amazing gaming moments these Xbox 360 game have given me (as well as close friends and family)
If you could switch to the 360 controller + bring over Xbox live..it would help a million times over though..
But wow.the 360 has had an amazing run..especially for us gamers that had it from the early days and watching the games get b...
This is far from the first time this elitist PS3 argument comes up and thanks to HHG recycling the same old f-boy rhetoric it won't be the last.
The funny part about it is we disprove these silly points exactly the same way Tor did. Just show the ACTUAL results of the RPGs released this generation on both platforms and you kill all the noise.
It's laughable how one side will tote Final Fantasy Vs. or the fact that FF13 is exclusive in Japan..but if the 360 gets a...
- First you insult the USA for the games it buys..but still is too timid to put the country that he's from..
- He starts by telling people to drop the sales argument..but then he pulls out a random list of Games asking where the equivalent is on the 360..but then says you can't compare Singstar to Lips or Buzz to Scene it because they arent as successful (meaning SALES!)
Complete Hypocrisy..
The best part is listing games like Uncharted and saying...
Of course you are going to have a whole year of PS3 haters bashing Natal..but if it actually turns out to be a fan and critical success..it will be pandemonium next year.
I dug the trailer with the couple sitting on the couch flipping through Netflix movies using only their hands..then she said 'Play Movie' and it started.
I definitely see my self using that.
The verdict it out..but with another good showing at E3 you could see the demand for this ...
'PS stands for diverse audience and so obviously having a user base with a broader taste means that certain games won't sell as much. that doesn't make those games better. Halo and gears sell well because they are designed for a gun loving country and their console reflects this'
Perfect example of another Elitist theory that PS3 has such 'diverse' tastes compared to the 360..guess what? They Don't!
Out of the top 6 selling PS3 games of ALL time.
- 4 ...
^ watch that list instantly change when GT5, GoW3, FFXIII and FFXIII Versus are released.
We've already seen what Final Fantasy can do with with exclusive rights to sell in Japan
And that it is 1.5 million...
Great numbers..but not even on the same PLANET as Call of Duty.
To say their is a strong demand for GT5 is an understatement, but this isn't the last generation with a 50 - 100 million install base and ZERO competition in the racin...
'that was when the 360 was first introduced, Because let's be honest the TOP selling games on 360 are what? shooters
I mean yeah theres other genres that the 360 games sell in but it's usually shooters'
You get your facts a little twisted..
FPS is the top selling genre period.
TOP 6 SELLING PS3 GAMES OF ALL TIME
1. GTA 4
2. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (Will be the number one selling game on the PS3 by March ...
It's called Everyone in Japan already owns Wii and it still did mega numbers.
The answer..Wii HD
Call of Duty; Modern Warfare 2 selling 8.4 Million on the 360 alone is astronomical. It is also an indication of what's about to happen when the monster Halo:Reach is unleashed next year.
Forza 3 did 2+ Million in 2 months which is absolutely great numbers for the game. Considering Forza 2 did 4 million lifetime and was offered as a pack-in.
In fact, all the big exclusives and multi-plats did great on the 360.
Halo: ODST is the top selling exclusive of 200...
'I can't wait for Bayonnetta....just the other day when I was looking through all the titles that are coming out in the next couple months...let alone the rest of the year...I couldn't believe it!
Sometimes I hate having both consoles....there's just not enough time to play them all...we're going to have to choose! Damn it! ;)'
Yeah, I completely slept on Bayonetta..that is clearly an example of how a demo can change the anticipation level for a game. Same with D...
Mass Effect and Splinter Cell would have been a great quarter alone..
But the fact that you throw in the highly anticipated
Final Fantasy 13 + Bioshock 2 and you blow 2009's offerings in the dust.
But who knew that both Bayonnetta and Dante's Inferno would be such stand-out titles which may be poised to become the intial offerings of successful franchises of their own.
We all know the the 360 + Live is the go-to console for shooters ...

Honestly Fear 2 (which is no way even close to a scary as the original) was a really overlooked FPS. Although after Dead Space..every other 'horror' game ending pales in comparison.
What I do like about the article is that it alludes to the Matacritic failure. most sites don't even like the horror genre let alone know how to review them properly. So I love how the desciptions make you want to ...
I'm a horror movie and game fanatic and I will boldly state..
The original Fatal Frame still has the title as the scariest game ever made. It even topped Silent Hill 1 (PS2) & 2 (Xbox 1)
I kept up on the amazing response of the Japanese release of Fatal Frame. When it was released I bought it that Halloween and played a 1159pm with all the lights out and the surround system playing at a IMAX level..an hour later I turned off my PS2 with an exhausted heart fro...
Been saying it since the game was announced..the haters and newbies who haven't witnessed the launch of H2 and H3 are in for a big suprise.
The rest of us who live outside the Internet know what's about to go down.
Halo Reach will have the largest install base of any Halo in history..People using ODST as an indication fail to see the larger picture..
MW2 did 8 million the 360 alone..Reach will touch the entire generation of FPS fans that reside on the ...
