I was starting to lose hope in humanity after reading these comments.
The article is satirical people, I swear most of these comments were written about the headline and now the actual article...
It's fun debating the merits of each platform and I honestly believe that without this 'war' we wouldn't be seeing the emergence of PS Home or the truly superb graphics that are appearing in the world
Err good point.. maybe we just wanted to see Angelina all dressed up again?
Before accusing us of stupidly suggesting something maybe you should possibly view things from outside the UK. While he may have been a noble for the English he was viewed as a simple pirate by the Spanish.
So it depends on the point of view once again
I didn't write this article it was written by Nick...
Just popped in to say the data wasn't stolen, it was referenced correctly and the story was more about my belief that Nintendo attempted to ambush the GTA IV launch than the actual sales figures.
So I disagree with your reason lockload....
It's not called Flamebait Friday for nothing :P
Sorry but I was just wondering why the link was changed..
My site linked back to the Eurogamer article but we had an original and independent view on their findings?
The change of link just feels like a knee jerk reaction to someone who didn't like the cold hard truth being pointed out... very sad
Just to clarify, the Xbox 360 is officially sold by Microsoft in South Africa so it's not like we import these things.
We have just not been given official live access even though we have more gamers online than most of the new Live countries...
It is actually quite sad that N4G ran this.
Just think for a bit, a large majority of Live users don't have a credit card connected so why would Microsoft run, an unannounced, offering that excluded all those people.
Secondly why would they make it so difficult for themselves?
I was at Philip's house yesterday playing this to help him review it and I have to say that I cannot wait to try this out online. If the online doesn't lag this is easily going to kill my COD4 fetish :)
It would be better if we could ignore bundled games but Microsoft had a huge special with Forza 2 and Ultimate Aliance, while Sony had a long running bundle of Motorstorm and Resistance..
Let's not go into the Wii's top two games ;)
;) I did say retail comp as it is obviously a very different game to MGS or GTA... However if you can only afford one or two games then which ones would you go for?
I have to admit I don't know to much about Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD...
But as far I knew it was a physical difference and had nothing to do with the video card in the machine?
I found the game to be very different to Gears, the only possible comparison is the use of cover which is not a gears only feature....
Catastrophe, I can tell you they are not tongue in cheek. I run the site but didn't write the article.
She is being blatantly honest with her recommendations, yes they may not be to the liking of everyone but they are really not meant to be insulting.
Different strokes for different folks...
Can it be sexist when a female has written the article?
I think Carrie the caregiver sounds as entertaining as Blue Dragon, but how am I to criticise...
They stole our template, South Africa should get Live first just for that ;)....
I have updated the article with information about this.
Basically choose any week that isn't around the PS3 price drop or starter pack and you will see the 360 beating it.
In total sales it is miles ahead and when you line up the launches it is staying ahead.
The Wii is in a category of it's own
here are the full South African sales figures without the marketing spin, these were collated by GFK and presented by them.
