They bring tears alright, but not of joy.
I'm willing to bet real money that most Microsoft employees DO NOT have a 360. If they did, they'd never be able to try and shovel this B.S. PR down our throats because they'd choke on their own lies.
Microsoft always tries to take credit for things they DIDN'T invent.
According to recent reports, the gaming industry is still in an excellent position, despite the market problems. That's because of HARDCORE gamers who spend thousands of dollars on gaming every year, not because of casual n00bs looking to save a buck.
So, this is where it will come down to hardcore vs. casual. And hardcore are likely going to be, once again and as usual, the lifeline of the gaming industries profits.
Why should Sony lose money to please people lookin...
Not only does the PS3 NOT need a price cut (proven by the fact that it is selling well), but Sony can't AFFORD a price cut. They haven't even broke even on the development costs for each PS3 console, thus they are still taking losses on it. Losses that will NOT be recouped with a price cut, even if there is a buying surge.
Assume that it costs them $500 for every PS3 they build (just a guess). Add another $50 on that (due to a $50 price cut) and you got $550 for one PS3. They se...

The 360 only sold well because of a few RPG's. Did you really think it was going to last?
What are you smoking? You wish the 360 beat the PS3 in anything this year. The PS3 has dominated the 360 for a long time now.
Penance should be there too, just like you said. The Dark Aeons were HARD mofo's to beat.
By the looks of things, it appears that the PS3 is going to outsell the 360 for the year. So, yeah, it was the year of the PS3. What kind of dumbass question is that?
Illiterate is the appropriate term, if condescending. But I said it because more than just you didn't get it.
Come back when it's sold 2.5 million in Japan and the PS3 sells zero console until then.
It's going to be a LONG time before the 360 takes Japan away from ANYONE, let alone the PS3.
We've sure got some illiterate people here. What DeathroW is saying is that there was once a time when calling Japan the Home of Gaming "WASN'T STUPID", but calling it the Home of Gaming now "SURE IS."

They are in the same genre, that is games where you play instruments as the main gameplay. That's where the comparison begins and ends. What Nintendo forgot is that people like having actual goals to accomplish in games. With WiiMusic, there is no such thing.
Motion + doesn't mean accessible. When Nintendo says accessible, they mean casual. Twilight Princess has motion sensing, I don't expect that a further boost in range detection and response time will make the game more accessible to people who've never played a Zelda game before.
Dude, Blu-Ray has faster constant read speeds and is only 1 MB/s slower than the 12x DVD drive of the 360. It has very little to do with the read speed.
Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Zelda game was something like Zelda Party. A Mario Party spinoff only with the characters of Hyrule.
So true. The best reviewers are the ones who acknowledge great games even if they are outside of their preferred genres.
Example, Victor Lucas and Tommy Tallarico. T.T. HATES RPG's, but he has given games in that genre that deserve it a perfect 10 before. Why? Because it wasn't about his preference, it was about the game's merits.
Come on, WiiMusic against GH or RB? A game with no competition, no real reason to play it unless you want to look like an idiot? It's like Mario Paint Composer with Mii's.
It's going to be "accessible". And you know that that's Nintendo's favourite marketing buzz word. Guess what it means?
