The Wii fit which currently sells for almost $100 thats 2/3 the cost of the console and it has sold over 25 millions units!!! Its all about marketing and we harcore gamers are the same ones that were predicting that the we was just a fad well 4 years later it continues to outsell all other consoles a fad is no longer a fad when everyone eles is doing it to thats called a trend.
Well I'm gonna buy the Kinect first...Why because it's cheaper for 2 players and I want my non-gamer fiancee to enjoy my favorite hobby as well...And she also wants to work-out with and I think that what they showed for kinect will be great for her....And she wathced the E3 stuff with me on G4 and thought the move was gonna be confusing for her...Her 2 concerns were "why would I want to hold a move contoller in 1 hand and a regular one in ther other...thas just too many friggin b...
Look the article itself is flaim bait, but there are some valid points in there.
1. If Microsoft continues to counter Sony's moves where Sony outsells them then they comeback and outsell Sony 9 months later Sony won't pass up Microsoft in sales, at least not b4 this gen ends in 2012-2013.
2. I predicted last year this would happen...when all the sony fans were like "it's over the ps3 is now $299 the x360 will never outsell it again...&quo...
O.K. the way I see it is that if you're on this website right now kinect is not yet being marketed for you, The Move controller is. It is no secret that microsoft is going after the casual gamer and as and thats not US and We don't see things the way casual gamers do. For instance 4gb flash drive to us sounds puny but remember that that is still 8 times what was in the arcade version... For $300 a soccer mom will be able to get kinect "controller free gaming and excersise"...
Oh" How quickly we forget that one of the first admissions from Sony about Move was that it uses 1 of the spu's for processing. SO folks if one of the available 6 spu's is constsntly in use for the Move controller then that up to 17% of the ps3's spu power being used Why do you all forget and never listen...The Move tech guy also says that they try and minimize the cpeu usage not that the move doesn't use any of the ps3's cpu. And how can we forget that the move is...
O.K. I can see where the author is coming from if it were only a battle in America then the x360 would beat the ps3 easily as it continues to out sell it in that territory every month. But the fact is its not, and although it has a 7 million unit lead in America it is behind in janpan by a large margin and it is behind marginally in europe. It is true that the new "S" model has reinvigorated the x360 market and it is true that kinect is aimed at casuals. But move will sell to the...
Videogame chartz,NPD, Famitsu, all these sales reporting places are not the offical numbers those can be found on Sony, Microsofts and Nintendo's websites. Basically there are around 72 mil Wii's sold , 40 mil X360's, and 35 mil ps3. Sony has done a good job of narrowing the gap from 10 million to start this generation to just 5 mil in 4 years. Wii continues to dominate even though its sales have slowed a little bit. Microsofts launch of it's "S" model may hold...
Ps3 fanboy did you do this same math for the ps2 and subtract of its install base for the nitorious "DRE" issue you know the not read blue or the not read silver disc mess or read non at all that Sony never admitted to but was "SUCCECFULLY SUED OVER" The one where they wouldn't fix your console cause they said they didn't have a problem and forced people to go and buy another 1.......really your gonna pull 33-66 failure rates out your butt because Microsoft has nev...
Yep Sony finally makes a "SMALL" profit on the ps3 after almost 4yrs of massive losses on it. Music companys are introuble have been for a while "all the illegal down loading and everthing" it takes hundreds of millions to make and support blockbuster movies and they don't always pan out sony's had plenty of money losers....and Sony is not one of the larget it's just one of the most well known if I asked you who was the largest would you know probebly not...a...
Do you even have a 3yr memory? If Sony was on the verge of bankruptcy just 3 to 4 years ago, because they launched a 900$ console for $600 and were paying studios to NOT support HD-DVD and to only support Blu-ray...The Blu-ray things worked and sony is finally making a profit on the ps3 but Nintendo has been making money hand over fist on handhelds and making money on every console sold since the NES and GameBoy they are way more CASH rich than sony and as recently as last year were a valuab...
1.BOTH OF THESE3 GAMES LOOKE GREAT AT THIS STAGE!
2. Why does every ps3 fanboy go around touting MLAA, MOVE, AND 3-D
3. MLAA is technically inferior to FSAA as it is LESS resource intensive. Its not used on good looking PC games or even x360 games for a reason and if you go look at the un-edited versions of developer interview they tell exactly why its used on the ps3...Its used because FSAA wasn't built into the hardware of the rsx and it takes a h...
Alan Wake was a good game offered a great story aewsome lighting effect and was a great looking game...Did it look better than uc2 or heavy rain no did it still look great yes...And more games will look even better as M$ eases restrictions on developers and the cost associated with putting a game on multiple disc's.
I will hold you to that because crysis 2 which is running on the x360 right now looks like it might just look better than uc2 it definetly looks better than kz2 so we will see and if it does I hope you can admit it...Cause if it doesn't and no other games come out for the x360 in the next 18 months that do I will admit I was wrong... but will any of you?
I think that depends on what you consider a hardcore game...If boxing is hardcore I think kinect can do it best...If rally racing is hardcore I think kinect can do it...If its a RTS I think kinect can do it well. If its an RPG I think kinect can do it well... But there are things that I don't think it will do well like shooters, or platformers...too much twich precision is neede for those.
You proved my point and thats that since when was you can't count fron june to june IS 12 months then july(1), august(2), september(3), october(4), November(5), that is not 18 months not to mention games development stops 60 days before release to press, print and ship the disc's. Apperently whatever education you have wasn't enough...Finish the 3rd grade next time. And people are complaining about CD2 looking like a xbox1 game give them time and they will give us something great...
Look the ps3 does have more processing power thats more CPU processing power, but the fact remains that the CELL CPU must HELP the RSX to deliver the goods and it is a good combination. However for a ps3 exclusive developer thats never even worked on a x360 game to say it can't be done is a little arrogant... And the fact remains that most x360 developers didn't use x360 exclusive code when they made games for the platform because it was easier and cheaper to use UE3 or modified vers...

CD1 was fun its been played over and over in my house...We were loking forward to CD2 and eventhough it won't have the best graphics it could still be fun.
Sorry chris but may of E3 of last year to E3 of this year is NOT 1.5 years to program! In fact it's less than 1 year since most developers got they're hands on Dev kits for kinect. Also this article was just flamebait anyway if 25% of the (" INCOMPLETE ") launch list is fitness that means that 75% is some thing else. I just love sites trying to twist the wording of statistics to fit there needs.
@Trroy
Sorry but what you say is not completly true...
Early on developers praised M$ for having the better more consistant and easier to develop for platform...The main part of that platform was directx thats why developers were able to get games up and running on the x360 faster than the ps3...thier familarity with directx allowed them to make game faster and at a highr quality early on...But what these guys are saying is because M$ forces developers to adhere to...
