Have had mine since it launched in Japan, got it in preparation for Uncharted which came out weeks later. Got one off eBay for the same price as a normal sixaxis (£30), was very lucky with the timing since most were going for £40-£50.
I have 2 sixaxis controllers and the 1 White DS3. I was thinking of selling my sixaxis ones and buying 2 DS3s; 1 Black, 1 Silver. I suppose I need 4 really for MP splitscreen but they're £30 each and that's a lot of money.
If you'd have said to me a few months ago "inFAMOUS will be a PS3 hit" I'd have said "Shut it fanboy", but I now see what those people meant and I apologise if I've ever said that (I don't believe I have though).
It's a game I looked at for a good while last year with interest, then Prototype came along and Infamous (I give up with the caps lol) disappeared from my game radar.
This E3 Infamous was one of the games I was very surprised with, th...
...but Konami have made other games, Bungie haven't really had any success away from Halo.
If Bungie had made another amazing series and then returned to Halo no one would have a problem with them making another Halo game, but it's because it appears as though MS just wants Bungie to pump out Halo game after Halo game.
Kojima spent AGES between each MGS game prepping it and making sure it was the best it could be, Halo's come out every 2 or 3 years and are pretty...
It would be very typical of MS to make Bungie (One of the modern day greats) go back and make another Halo game.
I know you're going to say "but there are 13 FF games!", but that's not the point. Square have done other great series of games, Bungie haven't.
I personally want Bungie to make a new multiplat IP and blow the gaming world apart again, they should get MS back after the MS backhand Bungie got at E3. 360 or PS3 preference aside, Bungie are grea...
...plain and simple lol.
To answer your question properly though: I have no idea but the figures are the consoles sold, not just shipped. The way of reporting sales has changed.
lol 30mil for 360 will be it's final sales figure for this gen, it's slowing down now. The PS3 is speeding up, following the release of Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 the sales figures will rocket for a few months after each game's release, similar to MGS4's impact.
The 360 has Gears 2 to attract new gamers, then what? What do non-gamers know about on 360 other than Halo and Gears? I know my non-gaming friends are completely oblivious to any games other than Halo, Gears, GTA, MGS,...
The problem is MS says the 360 has passed 20mil sold, but how many of those 20mil consoles are going to unique users?
I think you'll find there are more unique owners of PS3's than 360's because of the 360 hardware failures. I think in terms of unique owners the PS3 has already passed the 360.
They only use ADSL. Next year though I'm moving into my own house with a few mates, just outside our Uni campus and we'll have a 2MB cable connection with Virgin (Who now also do Fibre Optic BB) so net speed shouldn't be a problem compared to what I have now (Was promised 1MB upgrade free but still stuck at 512KB which is pathetic for sharing, so should have 1.5MB)
The biggest issue I have with ADSL is only being able to have 1 router connected because it's a single phone line ...
...that it's Hardware2. I won't mention who said so because I don't want them getting bombarded with random PMs.
Hardware 2 being the sequel to the relatively unknown Hardware: Online Arena given to those that signed up to use the network on the PS2.
Good post, +bubbles.
Books are good; gaming is good (Notice the semicolon :D 'poshness').
Factor 5 are a good company, Lair was only dropped by most because they went with the all or nothing route with the Sixaxis. I don't see what people hate about the Sixaxis motion feature. I play Warhawk with the motion on, it's just better that way.
Wow, I can play online now (PC). Never played online with it because of the crappy Game for Windows thing resricting the good online game modes.
The thing is you can't really include multiplat titles on a console's best games list, since you can get those games for another system. And only 4 of those games in that list are exclusives. So really, this entire article has no real foundation to stand on. Pretty pointless posting in it tbh. Damn I just wasted a post!
Anyway, this is just Microsoft giving the 360 fanboys something to run with and shout about and they're doing a damn fine job too lol, it's like throwing a bloo...
"Sure, KZ2 has good graphics. At least Halo 3 is FUN. Isn't that the point of videogames? Mark my words, KZ2 will be all show and no go."
Following the release in Feb 2009 I shall return to N4G and post your words if you so wish. Should I ever say so myself in a post I would expect the same, I say things how I see them and if I'm proven wrong by someone I will accept it. Can you accept being wrong? Come Feb 2009 we shall see.
You think Halo 3 is better than Killzone 2? Wow! Even COD4 is better than Halo 3...
Seriously if you think Halo 3 is better than Killzone 2 after watching the vids and knowing what's going into the MP side of it you're smoking something very powerful.
Yeah that has the numbers lol. If it beats Killzone 2 in all the other bits then I'll eat my PS3.
I like the look of Fallout3, so do a lot of people, it's one of the best RPGs I've seen. I don't think it'll sell as well as it should but that's because it's an RPG and they're seen as slower games with less action to the majority of the gaming world. That assumption may seem unfair but it's the way it is.
While Fallout3 will be a massively popular RPG to RPG fans I doubt it'll rival the sales of Gears 2, Resistance 2 and Fat Princess (lol jks).
Killzone 2 won the GT best graphics award. I would expect the same here if there'd been one.
This game's MP side has more depth than anything before it.
-Squad support
-Clan support
-Clan V Clan matches with betting system (putting points on the line)
-Ability to mix class perks
-Ability to improve classes based on length of play
-Unrivalled stat tracking system.
-32 players at once for huge matches.
-Unrestricted mode selection in-game (Can start a round of CTF straight after a game of Search and Destroy in the same mat...
lol that's why he did it.
Wasn't Christian Bale suggested for the role of Snake in the MGS movie Sony were planning?
I'd have thought MGS could actually work as a brilliant game to movie conversion, it's actually structured like a movie by Hideo Kojima anyway and I'm not talking about the long cutscenes. The Tanker section of MGS2 was so movie-like that I thought there and then they should make a live action movie of MGS, it's been passed around but if they get a good enough script together I think it c...
