CRank: 5Score: 7380

Actually, Halo CE and Halo 2 were both considered graphically outstanding titles on the Xbox. Go back and read some of the reviews and you will see how many reviewers praised the graphics. Even Halo 3 got more praise for its graphics than some people are remembering.

Here are a few examples from Halo 3 reviews:

Console Monster
"The graphics and sound are fantastic, the story and gameplay are brilliant and the multiplayer aspects are just amazing." ...

360 owners also have a lot more to play than DLC, but there's nothing wrong with getting a little DLC now is there?

Even though I am not a "Sony Soldier" (whatever that means) I will mark your words. I don't think you are correct, but I will still mark your words.

So, even by your inflated fanboy estimates the PS3 is still down by more than 6 million. The 360 has sold more than 39 million units, so if the PS3 has sold 33 million the gap is still bigger than it was when the PS3 came out.

How is he any different than dozens and dozens of PS3 fanboys on this site? He even makes more sense than a lot of the PS3 fanboys who only say mindless stuff like "360 has no games" or "RROD" or "360 sucks". At least he puts forth a logical argument.

Edit: I honestly never heard anybody say Uncharted 2 is doomed. IF anyone did it was on such a minor scale that is in no way comparable to the hordes of PS3 fanboys that flood every 360 article talk...

For some people maybe the Wii is the best console. Not everybody agrees on what is the best console.

I like the 360 best, followed by the PS3, and then the Wii. But I fully recognize that other people with different tastes and needs than me will have a different preference.

No, it means "quality is whatever I think it is". Never mind the fact that other people have a different opinion.

Forza 3 is a great racing sim in my opinion and I see why it is selling well.

He's a hell of a lot better than most of the PS3 fanboys on this site. At least he is saying good things about both consoles. Most of you guys (OmarJA included) can never bring yourselves to say anything good about the 360.

That guy might have some fanboy in him, but he is certainly a lot less fanboyish than most on this site.

Anyway, I agree that both consoles are going to do just fine this year. Although, I too prefer the 360 lineup.

No, you are wrong. Microsoft has sold more than 39 million consoles to stores, which in turn sell them to customers. That's the same thing Sony and Nintendo do as well. If you think otherwise, you really don't know what you are talking about.

VgChartz can often be in the right ball park, but their numbers are inherently unreliable. Better to wait for official figures from the console makers themselves.

Microsoft recently announced that they have now sold more than 39 million consoles. Even the highest estimates would still put the PS3 5 or 6 million behind and it could be as high as 7 million behind.

With a strong year ahead of the 360 don't be so sure that the PS3 will be catching up anytime soon. W...

Yeah, people are retarded and that is why Gran Turismo has always sold so well and why Uncharted 2 will sell more than Uncharted 2, it's all because people are stupid, right?

Nice logic there.

That is such a garbage mantra repeated by some people. All fanboys are the same, blah blah blah..

The obvious truth is, they aren't all the same. There are differences from individual to individual and from group to group. And it doesn't say anything about which "group" you belong to to notice such differences. I could be a Wii, PS3 or 360 fanboy and I would still notice that Wii fanboys are the least interested in trolling the internet attacking anybody that doesn'...

No, but Wii fit is a good game for those it is marketed to, which is a totally different demographic. But if two different games are marketed to the same demographic and one sells better it does show what that demographic preferred.

I think the point was that quality can be talked about on a personal level, but doesn't really work as ammunition to belittle owners of other consoles the way PS3 fanboys try to do towards owners of other consoles because there is no way to prove whi...

Oh sh!t, get off it man. Nobody said anything about Bungie inventing the FPS or any of that other stuff. People just said that it is one of the best gaming franchises around, and I agree.

If you don't agree, you are in the minority. Not that you should care, but your comments came off as arrogant, as if you think your opinion supersedes those of others.

I bet you wouldn't be so open minded if people said that Uncharted 2 was an overrated, overblown piece of tat.

Yeah, but GT3 sold that well over a long period of time, it didn't sell that many units right off the bat when the installed base was lower. The eventual huge installed base of the PS2 did have a positive impact on its sales. As well as various pack-in deals.

The other thing is that Gran Turismo didn't have any real competition on consoles for a long time. Now Forza provides real competition and millions of racing fans might be siphoned off towards that franchise.

RROD is no longer a notable problem.

In any case, who said anything about selling your PS3? Some of you guys are way too touchy and defensive.

5882d ago 4 agree33 disagreeView comment

The only reason you say that is because you are a PS3 owner that gets most things LAST.

I don't see how buying a game gives you same unassailable right to any related content down the line.

When you buy something, you are buying that specific thing and nothing more.

Buying a studio is one of the MOST restrictive things a console maker can do, because it is restricting that studios creative output to one console indefinitely, whereas in cases like these the content is only a fragment of that studios total output and will eventually end up on the other co...

Except that Infinity Ward is an independent developer. They can choose to make Modern Warfare 2 simultaneously for both consoles, which they did, or they could have chosen to make it for one console first and then later make it for the other console. They could have also chosen to just make it for one console, for that matter.

The point is that they are an independent business and they have a right and obligation to do whatever they see as best for their business at the time. ...

Your analogies are all out of whack, but whatever.

Sony says the same kind of stuff and you guys never whisper so much as a peep.
