I'm pretty sure that we knew this 2 years ago. The whole prospect of having a 10 year lifecycle depends on how much you can squeeze out of the system, 360 is already at it's limits with Gears, but PS3 can squeeze out a lot more yet, even Guerrilla said that they could do a LOT more than KZ2.
@mintaro - pack ins and downloads aren't included in sales figures from NPD, MediaCreate or GFk. So the sales stated are always stand alone sales figures.
@Shadow Flare - Resistance 1 is better than Halo 3, R2 is a mile better
I'm surprised this story doesn't say "Hirai accused of being like a crazy ex-girlfriend". LMAO.
@fatam - well duh, Halo was a established IP, with 3 games in the series, $10 million advertising campaign, and a massive amount of hype (more than KZ2). And Halo 3 ended up being average.
~6 million X360 copies of the game sold, so let's just say about 3 million will buy the DLC.
I'm guessing about 90% of those will realise what a pile of crap this DLC is after a week and cry about wasting $20.
Ok this guy has copied this from that dutch website, I think it was PS3Sense.nl (but I can't remember exactly).
Nice list, but Nobi Nobi Boy is PSN (as far as we know) and he missed Ratchet & Clank 2.
This is probably more to do with the NXE, I haven't updated yet and haven't had this problem, I hope I don't get it when I update.

Otherwise their would never be a "Next gen" and we'll still be playing Pong on PC.
No DLC, Square already said they don't have time to do that cos they will end up making a whole game.
Tomb Raider 1 was good, and it's gone downhill since then. Uncharted is a million times better than Tomb Raider, mainly because Tomb Raider still plays like a last gen game
Good show, but I disagree about Forza being better than GT, GT is a lot better and damage isn't everything. Also the point HHG made about being able to hit the person ahead of you in online and drive past, you can't do that in GT5P, if you hit, you hit someone you stop accelerating for a few seconds. So it actually messes you up worse to do that.
As to customisation, GT is usually very very customise friendly, just Prologue isn't cos it's not the full game. Forza is a lot more ar...
Kinda expected this (cos it's EA), but lets wait and see. Xbox fanboys must be quaking in their boots right now.
Pretty good idea on Sony's part, this PS3 might sell a LOT, just because it is associated with FF7. Although I expected this to say FF7 PSN, but whatever...
I got a PS3 at launch, cos of it's potentially great games (that seem to be coming this year and next year), and a good variety of games. Also I've owned PS1, PS2 and PSP, so PS3 was a natural evolution. I didn't really care about the power or reliability.
I got my used 360 a last year, for the games that are available, not so much for the upcoming games. Halo 3 was NOT the reason for purchase, mainly Gears of War. I only got it cos it was relatively cheap and it came with Biosho...
@Saint Sony - You don't have a PS3, please don't lie.
Well either way it's a good idea from Sony to get a TPS like GeOW (even though it might not be as good) on the PS3. Hopefully it is a good game, but I'll reserve judgement for now.
Okay, this just proves that you shouldn't be a video game journalist if you can't afford all 3 systems.
Damn this guy is a huge fanboy, it's sad day for gaming when a (fairly) respectable gaming site like Ripten posts stuff like this.
@shine - exactly, Halo fans are the most rabid fanboys in the world, yet they aren't talked about like this. Another example of the gaming media bias...sigh...
LMAO @ vx, you obviously haven't played GT, and if you have you probably played a tiny bit of Prologue. If you had played GT1, 2, 3, 4 you would know that the customisation available in GT is enormous.
But I guess you're just one of these 12 year old fanboys that got into gaming, sorry i mean fanboying, this generation.
Forza 2 cannot compare to GT, I'll pick up Forza 3 when it comes out, and Race PRO looks good. But even before they come out I can be 99% sure that ...
Yeah this game is awesome, I managed to get an import as well. I don't understand why it wasn't released here though.
@xbox fanboys - do you guys not realise that pretty much everyone wants a PS3 except you?
1. Seriously, the ONLY thing holding most people back is the price, as soon as it drops the sales could triple, or quadruple or more. This will attract the more casual gamers. Even now in EU, everyone wants a PS3, they just can't afford it yet. Everyone says they are waiting for a price cut.
2. 2009 and 2010 Sony has the best exclusives available, even if you combine the exclus...
