This amazing list will be repeated ad naseum for about 39 more fan blog and gaming websites..
But, I SALUTE OXM for refusing to buckle to the cornball internet ducktales on the net pretending exclusives vs. console exclusive matters at all to Xbox 360 owners who actually reside in the outside world.
HALO REACH FTW!
Back to Back years a Halo title will be the top selling exclusive of the year. But in this case HALO REACH will DESTROY anything in it'...
I feel like im the N4G historian. Ninja Blade was and let me repeat that... WAS COMPLETELY F`ing Hyped by 360's. "Zomg epic scale" and all this other nonsense.
LMAO..you must be the historian of an alternate universe. 'Ninja Blade' had an overall hype level of - 1.0. There were barely any articles on the game. Hell, I even thought the initial trailers looked great. But, then came a 'hate' article before the reviews even dropped about the game's heavy use of QTE and t...
'@evildead - Speak for yourself dude, that E3 trailer was amazing, and got me hyped for the game even more. Heavy Rain is now my most anticipated game right now, after Mass Effect 2 (obviously because it's coming out earlier).'
Who's talking about the E3 trailer? I said BEFORE E3 the game was revealed. They world premiered footage and an interview with the developer. They set up and played the garage scene. The level of anticipation completely shifted for the game.
LMAO @ the hypocrisy!
HALO REACH will be the most hated on game of 2010..period! Just like every high profile 360 game and console exclusive that is released.
Edit: LOL..just look at the comments..the hate is in their blood and DNA
When Ninja Blade was released it got SMASHED by the haters and reviewers alike because it used QTE. If this game was a multi-plat you wouldn't hear a peep about it.
In fact, if this were a 360 exclusive I ...
Mass Effect 2 is a monster of a console exclusive for the 360 and a beautiful way to start off 2010.
It's also great to see the love Bayonetta is getting. The dilemna this year will be how many games will you buy this year as there will be no shortage of amazing gaming experiences.
I'm still knee deep in games from 2009, but I might drop everything to replay Mass Effect 1 just to get back into the universe before sequel drops.
Bottomline is you have a service that millions subscribe to year after year.
No matter how many PS3 fans jump up and down throwing rocks at the price and the contents of XBL, the system is a massive success for the 360.
Not only does it generate at least a half a billion ever year for M$, it has been a shining factor in the success of games such as Modern Warfare 2 and what will be a monstrous year for Bungie with Halo Reach.
Again..end of the day...
Not even close...
The internet browser on the PS3 has ZERO to do with PSN. You could use it all day long and NEVER get a PSN account.
People who bring it into the XBL vs. PS3 debate make zero sense. but, it definately is a factor in the 360 vs. PS3 feature debate.
Game designers don't build their multiplayer aspects around the fact that PS3 has a browser. If UT allowed that then cool..but games on XBL would have easily put that content into the 'G...
Although the banter will go back and forth about the reasons 'fans' prefer the service; the industry wide consensus is XBL is clearly the best console online service out there.
XBL is to the 360 what Blu-Ray is to the PS3..the defining shining star of the system.
I have both systems and Xbox live is hands down the biggest reason I won't buy multi-plats on the PS3. From achievements to friends list, the incentive is ZERO, even if they tack on bonus joker levels on...
Team Ico is one of my fave developers ever..and one of the biggest reasons I bought a PS3 Slim..the trailer for 'Guardian' is phenominal...and this is why this article means absolutely nothing..Team I looks to have raised the bar. What people don't realize is GOW3 will sell itself. The sales of 'collection' haven't even made a dent.
But I would shed a tear of joy next year if they announced an HD 'Shadow...'
The biggest flaw I see wth this new blogging generation is ...
I got Demon Souls the first week it arrived and as a King's Field fan I absolutely loved it. Although, I died almost as much as I did in 'Too Human' (only a few will understand that) the rewarding moments of taking down that boss or just reaching the next level was really fun..for ME. But, the truth is I honestly couldn't recommend it to every RPG fan. It's as love/hate as you could get when it comes to a gaming experience.
Uncharted 2 eventually pulled me away..which bled into Bo...
It's hilarious how when the fake post Black Friday articles came out pretending that the 360 was barely selling that everyone of the 360 haters sang the same chorus.
It's because the PS3 bundles were so much stronger. But, now that NPD smacked the haters in the jaw, they are claiming bu-bu-but it was the Call of Duty Bundle.
The desperate 'BAN' argument is easily one of the worst this year. Pretending that all 800,000 people who bought the system were previous b...
What everyone missed is the fact that MASTER CHIEF IS IN THE GAME! I stood up and cheered early in the trailer, but the backed away from it and showed how even HALO WARS played a part in this game.
The CG was on par, but still not better than the underrated Halo Wars.Which, hands down had the best cutscenes in the history of the series,
With that said It is wayyyyy to early for Bungie to reveal ANYTHING of significance in this trailer. Let the haters whine all ...
LMAO @ the usual trolls fresh from hating on Halo:Reach in the last Halo:Reach article.
The best is justifying the hate when never playing one game or even owning a 360.
The comedy never ends.
So we got Batman selling selling over 10,000 and netting 2 million in royalties?
My god what did Infinity Ward make with 2 Million sold more on the 360.
If some random analyst wants to use this 'extra content' argument as an argument as to why it sold 10-30K more than how about using Grand Theft Auto 4 which sold 1.3 million more on the 360 (but is also the top selling game on the PS3)
It's a strtch to think that the bonus stuff thrown in with Dant...
'Anything that doesn't involve running around with a gun mindlessly shooting people will always sell better on PS3.'
LMAO @ PS3 loyalist who pretend that their fans are different because they only sold a measley 10K more on Batman: AA than the 360.
By the end of 2009 the top 6 games sold all-time on the PS3 will look like this
1. Grand theft auto 4
2. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
3. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
4. Metal Gea...
'You do realize this is just NA right?! PS3 DID outsell 360 worldwide and has been since the slim launch...sorry to tell you guys that, but...I tried?'
LMAO @ the dumbest quesion that gets asked ONLY when the 360 is ahead of the PS3 in NA sales.
You do realize that the NA is the biggest market in gaming. Selling 14,000 when the PS3 sells 100,000 for Media Create on a giving month may seem bad. But, selling 200,000 when the PS3 sells 800,000 in November would hav...
Greatest product management director ever!
This guys P.O.s every PS3 extremist in the world because he does one thing. Positively support the Xbox 360. The call him every name in the book because they somehow believe he should join into their every day bashing of the 360.
When he mentioned that the 360 sales were double in November, the PS3 FBoyz went bezerk. Flash forward today and oops guess Greenburg was right.
The funniest part of the equatio...
Nobody even came close to giving the 360 a chance. We saw bogus article after bogus article. All have been pronounced FAIL to the highest degree.
Even the biggest 360 haters are calling truces after their jaws dropped to the floor.
But, lets keep it in perspective. Sony stepped their game up with Slim and the price cut. I got one over a month and a half ago, just to have another Blu-Ray play and the best of what sony had to offer in gaming. And it will continue ...
LMAO @ one of the most entertaining smackdowns I've seen on this site.
+ Bubbles for 'King'..who should now be forever known as 'Troll Slayer'
I'll add on from another perspective. I'm a Halo fan through and through. I have every Halo game in my collection and will be on a midnight line @ Gamestop come the release of 'Reach'
You called it on the first post..there is absolutely no need to look at this guys post history, because all you have to do is...
Somewhere Turn 10 is laughing their @sses off! We scared the greatest racing game developer into pushing their game back a year later..Definative Push back!
D@mn you PD..D@mn you Japan (with your cushy March release)..I could see a summer release right after E3..but November?
While I'm at it..d@mn you Modern Warfare 2 for showing the other sweet spot for top of the line video game sales.
*Evil Sit back and imagines the choices*
