Some people seem to think big exclusive software titles have to have a massive impact on day one to be seen as hardware driver. I really believe most people waiting on the fence are waiting for a price drop not a big game to come out before they buy. Most of the hardcore MSG4 probably already have a PS3... How many people would wait until a big game drops? Unless MSG4 is your ONLY reason to own a PS3 you probably got a PS3 after last price drop in anticipation of MSG4's release...

Well if its "hardware-driving software" then wouldn't it HAVE to drive hardware otherwise it wouldn't be "hardware-driving software" it would be just "software".
Joking but I'd have to say yes absolutely. Big exclusives like MGS4 and Gears of War absolutely drive hardware sales but price drops have a much bigger impact. "Hardware-driving software" does more to push people to one console or another than simply going out and buying a consol...
I'm curious what online component GOW3 will have. Would have to be co-op I'd assume. Don't see how competitive play would work with a hack and slash like HS or GOW3.
If this is true I'll be very disappointed. I really enjoyed HS. It was short but the presentation was amazing. Set a new bar for cutscenes and actually used six axis in a pretty good way.
There are rules on this site for a reason. You just broke them. Reported as offensive.
Even if someone dares to have an opinion different than the one your master gave you it doesn't give you the right to break the rules.
Its one thing to disagree with reviewers and theorize there was some vast underground conspiracy its another thing for that theory to actually hold ANY water in the REAL WORLD. Do you people really think Nintendo or even MS has the pull or resources to make a conspiracy like this work? In today's day and age is nearly impossible to make a conspiracy work. This isn't Soviet Russia. Whats the motivation for a reviewer to go alone with the conspiracy? On top a conspiracy of this level would invo...
The real supprise is that it took Sony this long to get into fighting shape. Still going to be tough to over take the 360 in North America at the rate their "out pacing" the 360. 20 - 30k units more a month going to take a looooooong time. Like longer than this generation.
Sony will own Europe and Japan no doubt if you don't count the Wii...
People hoping for MS to quit the console race are childish and short sighted. Competition has been great for gamers... Fanboys think it would be better to have only one console out there but how much fun would it be for Sony fans to "war" with Nintendo fans?
Thats like taking a knife to a gun fight.
We got 1080p on HDMI!... Oh yeah well we got 480p on component with 4 polygons on screen at one time! Take that!
Fact is MS has already done ...
NEXT!
Sony:
What happened to 2 HDMI ports both running native 1080p at 60fps? What happened to 4 Ethernet ports? What happened to Home? In game voice chat? What happened to full backward compatibility?
Nintendo:
What happened to supporting third party developers? What happened to pushing hardcore games and well as casual games? What happened to pushing mature games? What happened to the Wii's online service?
I'm not trying to defend MS per...
You hit the nail on the head.
This tween doesn't know what hes talking about and has the nerve to call the author a retard. DUUUR whats a digital console? DUUR
These idiots would love having one console so their master couple rape them even harder. Only a child would wish for no competition.
You seriously think the industry would be better off with just Sony on the bleeding edge and Nintendo going after grandparents?
I disagree. Competion is very important. Whether Sony fans like the 360 or not you'd have to admit the 360's influence has helped the PS3. Otherwise you'd never know what universal in game voice chat was or achievements. Let alone smacking the arrogance out of their mouth making them drop the price sooner rather than later. The 360 lit a fire under the...
Its about having a juggernaut massively selling game. Thats what they meant by the PS3 having a "Halo 3". I enjoyed Halo 3 for a couple months especially playing 4 player co-op with my friends through the campaign but it wasn't THAT great of a game. I haven't played it since like December last year but its still the biggest selling game... You can't take that away from it even if you think it sucks.
Thats the point of the article. This is supposed to be "Judgemen...
You're correct everyone has to pay on XBL and this MGSO thing won't effect EVERYONE. But you seriously think only 10% of people will want more than one character? come on... Thats a huge understatement. First you say its 10% then its 5%. come on...
Yes this is a Konami doing this but how does that make it any better? Gamers still have to pay the toll what does it matter whos charging? Thats silly. Sony built the infastruture which requires third parties to host thier own serve...
I'm amazed at you whiners claiming every reviewer that scores the game lower than YOU think it should be is biased even though YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED the game YET!
Hilarious!
WAAAAAAH! All I care about is how my consoles flagship game LOOKS in the media! WAAAAH. How unfair someone that actually played the game scored it lower than someone that hasn't played it THINKS it should score. WAAAAH!
If you took out the audio for EVERY language on earth then it would be a lot smaller than 50GB everyone knew this... The game will still be the best MGS game ever and the hardcore fans will love it no matter the amount of space it takes up. Why you people care enough to argue about it is beyond me.
The real story here is PAYING for additonal characters. If that is true its a pretty major issue. It proves the old saying... "Pay me now or pay me later".
I...
While I watched the same show and agreed with the poll I still think you're lame for remembering and pointing out something so weak on an internet forum as some kind of "proof of victory" for your "team".
The fact that you actually care about the disagrees so much that you edit your comment 5 times to whine and explain yourself is just amazing. Amazing in a shallow corporate follower kind of way. How you could worship a platform so much is b3yond me. You hav...
Kudos to all of you.
Any gamer that looks at this industry without some type of bias has to give Nintendo and MS credit for what they've accomplished this generation. You'd also have to give Sony credit for successfully changing course. Success can blind you. It happens in any industry. The PS3 is a great machine even if I disagree with the Sony fans on this site that claim it can do nothing wrong. Sony is back on the right track now and will most certainly end this generation ...
Details have been very vague so far so I'm going to try and keep my expectations down. Don't want to the hype to weigh the game down like a lot of other games.
Anything open world is on my anticipated list.
I never said the article was totally unbiased did I? All I said was you Sonys don't even want to discuss anyhing. You've all made up your minds based solely on your emotional love for your system.
1.6 sure loves to call me an idiot yet doesn't refute anything I said. All he did was once again spout his opinion as fact and call anyone that disagrees an idiot. You list all those games as being better on PS3 yet its once again only your opinion. A lot of peopole would disagree wit...
What about Nintendo buying timed exclusivity to the RE series last generation?
I guess if you see everything as black and white, good and evil then its easy to point the finger and cry.
Its part of the business. Trying to vilify one company over the other is childish.
Far as I'm concerned its the cost of doing business. If you're platform doesn't like it then place a higher bid. Theres no such thing as "fair" in business. Unless you want ...
