Allow me to point out how ridiculous this article is. The author makes a number of idiotic points.
1. PSN is and will be better because it's free. That is the same as saying a Honda Accord is better than a BMW because is costs less. Or how about free TV is better than cable. XBL is better independant of its cost.
2. The author's reasoning assumes that XBL will stay the same while PSN improves. Huh? To be fair we have to assume that MS will provide upgrade...
What's wrong with you people? He is not saying that high def optical discs will no longer be used but that they will be obsolete. VHS is still in use but it is considered obsolete. It is very possible that if the format battle continues long enough and neither format is mass adopted by the public in time dlc might just catch on to outpace a physical format.
Further more, I find it hilarious that most of you joe smoes on here with very little knowledge of the future of the ...
This is just another reason why MS will eventually dominate all gaming including consoles.
What do you mean no sources? The author listed over half a dozen internet sites and their comments regarding the Wii.
I do think it is interesting that not even EA has any idea where this war is going. One thing I think is significant is that brand loyalty does not seem to be as strong of a determiner as companies think.
If this game is a AAA title then the term has become meaningless.
I love you Sony fanboys. You are totally missing the point. Most of us have no problem with the game but with the pathetic attempt by Phil to cover up the fact that they (Sony) intentionally deceived the public. That's it. Forget all the "target render" bullcrap. It is clear that the whole thing (that includes the MGS trailer) was marketing hype that crossed over into outright deception. I have no respect for any company that engages in this type of behavior and then tries to ...
Are you an idiot? Does that mean the real F1 drivers who are constantly in communication via radio (voice chat) with their pit crews will suffer because of lack of consentration?
Don't take StateofMind's remarks too seriously. He makes way too many unfounded assumptions and oversimplifications. For example he states that the PS3 has a more powerful processor as if to state that the PS3 is a technically superior system. It is true that the CPU in the PS3 is more powerful but he fails to mention that the GPU in the 360 is more powerful than the one in the PS3. It isn't as simple as he makes it out to be. Here is the real breakdown.
Hardware: Both sys...
This whole war primarily comes down to two things, price and games. This time around MS has the price advantage since they will always be at least $100 dollars less expensive than Sony. Price is huge. Since the trend is away from exlusives and toward multiplatform gaming this leaves the playing field more even in regards to software. Sony has the weird Japanese games but that will continue to be less and less important as the western gaming audience continues to grow and the Japanese mark...
This is clearly a horrible thing for Sony. Current PS2 purchasers are most likely doing so for two reasons. The first reason is price, it is a dirt cheap video game system. The second is that they apparently feel that the technology in the last gen is "good enough" and don't see the need to justify the price of the more expensive and newer systems. This puts the cheapest of the next gen systems in the best position. Don't bother with the "playstation has the most games&quo...
For that matter neither is the PS3.
It's becoming clearer and clearer that Sony should have lauched the PS3 in the spring and then launched a BD add on later the same as MS's strategy with HD DVD.
I couldn't agree more with the article.
The problem I see right now with Sony and one that I hope they will fix with this change of the guard is the lack of any clear vision for the console. Or should I say a better vision? I see Sony's vision for the PS3 almost exlusively as a production of hardware and a way to promote other products in the company like BR. They have traditionally just created a piece of hardware and thrown it to developers and said "do something with it". This may have worked in the past but not in...
Agreed. The game definately looks good but doesn't even come close to the E3 target.
No, no, no. The bottom line problem with the whole launch game comparison is that the respective launch games aren't competing with each other. Sony's launch games are competing with GOW and other games coming out now and not primarily competing with games that are a year old. Likewise the launch games put out by MS only had to compete with last gen games.
This whole argument is based entirely off a whole list of assumptions that are completely unverifiable and therefore p...
This game reminds me of halo just set in a WWII atmosphere. The only problem is it doesn't seem to improve much on the genre which is sad for a next gen version of this type of game.
I will echo some of the other posters comments that this game looks good but doesn't look to equal the hype surrounding it. I'll take COD3 over this game any day.
I agree. The game looks good but I would rather play COD3.
What's actually pathetic is your attempt at logic. How does the number of games sold necessarily mean that the game that sold more copies is better than the one that didn't? There are way too many factors involved here to come to the conclusion you did.
I find your reasoning extremely flawed. Let me help you out here. The PS3 is unlikely two win for a number of reasons. The first reason is price. Due to its much higher price point and the fact that with ever price drop of the PS3 the 360 can follow suite is a major blow. As such it will probably be several years before they become cost competitive with each other. Additionally, because the 360 is most likely to reach the sweet spot, $200 to $250, long before the PS3 this presents anoth...
