There is a simple fix that would lead to a lot more credibility when it comes to reviewing anything in the future. And that is to have that review give us their historic review for a similar product. That way we can judge if that person
1) Has similar taste to us or knows the genre. Example. If you are judging a comedy movie but then says that Blazing Saddles was bad or said anything Owen Wilson was in was good, I don't think you have any credibility in my book and should...
I should add you to my friends list because you have some sense in you. I may have been wrong to bring up Sony but I was only reply to Morgan's statement that MS is running away from them and that Blu-ray is a emerging success for Sony, yeah just like UMD....
Xbox is makeing money, just not what investors and speculators want, and in America and the world, speculators and even CEO's are losing allot of clout when they don't paint an accurate picture.

You mention that Microsoft has to cut out everything but their core of OS and software. But what is Sony's financial situation. Sony's music and movie division gets hit harder by piracy than MS and they have to keep bloated movie studio's, publishing companies and overpaid artists on their roles. Don't forget that Sony owns a few TV networks as well but VOD and the web is killing the networks revenue from adverts. Sony's only profitable area is games and that is thanks to PS2. That is wh...
So in reality Sony is supporting 5 platforms becuase they have a huge presence in PC gaming and have dabbled in the mobile market, that is alot to chew off to be honest. I wish them luck.
Does anyone know what the best selling game was on the PS2.....GTA:SA, in fact in their top ten, 8 were 3rd party games. Now while they may have been exclusive at some point on PS3, Sony's in-house developers couldn't hold a torch to third party developers. Now I know we all have our pers...
You are right about Overlord, and no the number of games doesn't make me happy. but my time with EDF and Chromehounds sure did. And Dead rising was fun as hell. My point was and is that no one has given me a list of NOW exclusives on PS3 and maybe someone can give me a better list of NOW exclusives on XBOX. That will tell the tape of which system is better NOW. A dodge may one day beat a mercedes in quality but right now it doesn't. and that is what the consumer cares about.
<...
Your math would make since if Sony didn't have 100 million fans as every likes to say on these forums coming from the PS2. But wait, maybe those numbers are wrong becuase allot of them could be re-purchases from broken PS2 like the same fake numbers MS puts up for the repurchased 360's. Or maybe Sony is seeing their true fanbase when the system is not cheaply priced, can't make a new SKU that totally redesigns it and makes it the perfect system to place in a vehicle, (The PS2 slim was PERFE...

you do realize that the reason halo has a following is becuase it brought unreal style MP to the consoles. Be fore that the best CONSOLE shooter was, wait for it, wait for it, 007 golden-eye. Yes you may be young to realize it, but that game still rocks to this day. But it was not like unreal tourney at all, it was more like counter-strike to make a comparisson. So if you are soully PC, you either have 3 camps of FPS, you have the counter-strike style that has no roles to it, but the shoo...
I totally agree with your statement, and I get pissed at sony fanboys talking so much shyt about xbot games. The bash halo like they were forced into buying it, when at the same time there were other FPS out there that didn't make the cut, **cough cough Killzone cough**, so why the hate, becuase they didn't get it when it was suppose to come to their system first. That is t plan and simple. And look at their arguements, the story is lame, what FPS shooter game story isn't lame, I go back t...
Those games that you mention have only sold so much compare to blockbuster so to be franchise exclusives on 360. And when it comes to new IP's this gen, I think 360 has the lead on produced games, not wait and see fall of 09, 10, 2011 or whatever Sony feeds you. You mention LBP, and it still is not out. God of war 3 still is not out. Do me a favor and don't mention MGS as a Sony franchise, unless you mean sony movie division. If I am to believe my own eyes and the youtube video's that is ...
Sometimes, I have to wonder what country some of you guys are posting from. If you guys who are pro sony are from Europe than yes, Sony has delivered for you guys countless times (I Guess), and Japan has seen some real good Sony love witht he cheapest PS3 out at any given time. But the history of Sony is not that great in the states.
I can give you a good history lesson, but the SOny root-key, Beta-Max, faulty ps1 class-action law-suit, PS2 abandoning FFXI on-line by making t...
i swear, I think I have been hearing about LBP for the last year and a half, I hope that game rocks becuase if it don't Sony will be up sh1tz creek without a paddle
is that its 3rd party publishers ; theres 14 3rd party pub on PS3 and 360's top twenty list. But it was like that last gen, with PS2 number 1 seller, while a timed exclusive was GTA. Most of sony's top old franchises are from outside developers so how good is sony's list really this year???????
who are these professional game critics to tell me what i like or don't like and I like whatever I dang well choose to. How can you say that the XBOX 360 is better when you constantly have to upgrade your system, (like the PS3 when your 20,40,60,80GB hard-drive is filled or when the new controllers come out with tilt and rumble or buying the HDMI cable after you by the system????) or like the PS2, with the network adapter, hard-drive, memory cards or PS2 slim. Sony got away with it last gen...
Water is free yet Avian and Nestle and Deer Park and the water companies still charge you for it, international and local calls are free on msn messenger yet at&t still charges you. You have a point yet in the place that we call the real world you get charged for free things. And the sad part about it is that the free things are sometimes better than the product that has a price attached. but back to live, it is not free because MS chose it not to be. They had to recoup their money th...
Every game should be playable on the console, like Final Fantasy 11 is playable on the PS2 slim right, oh no sorry no hard-drive port on that one either. So there goes your theory. Nuff Said
What you said makes sense, is true, and you said it in a better way than me. But I don't think MGS has the same affect as the other 2, GT and GTA. GT is the pinnacle of racing games and GTA is the best at sandbox. MGS is good but 12mil total doesn't impress. FNK is somewhat right, if the production cost are too high, they may not recoup their money
According to VGChartz the best selling franchise for PS2 is GTA, with MGS2 coming in at 10 all time, Madden ranks at 17 with only 4+ mil sales. now my numbers come from vgchartz so they may be wrong but use them as a constant. And you talk about an 160mil install base. Saying that you are right, that means that alot of PS2 had to be second and third purchases or that alot of PS2 games were bootlegged around the world. Now I know that X360 games have been pirated like crazy but they have t...
is on the disk. It will be interesting when the hackers get their hands on it, and they figure it out, sort of like when Oblivion came over to PS3. And pls lets not all forget too many cutscenes does not make a great game(unless you like paying for interactive movies). I really enjoyed Naruto and that had a but load of cutscenes, granted not CGI or ingame, but still cutscenes. Oblivion had few and fit that huge world on 1 DL-disk, now the expansion took two disks, but they stored to your ...
And yet steam sells millions with no disks. And do you realize with the xbox home console option you get effectively two copies of the game. Let's do the math. You by a game at gamestop (@ $60.00) and it ok, when you are done, at most you will get back is $30 and no more game. Or you can pay the $60 bucks for online and have two copies. If you wanted two copies from gamestop you are paying $120.00 bucks and when you are done you will get back $60.00 and have no games for later. I love thi...
