What games are you talking about? Ninja Gaiden 2? Okay, so? What other RPG are you talking about besides Fallout 3? Lost Oddessy? Infinte Undiscovery? You do realize that the last two jrpgs on the 360 haven't done too well, right? And Fallout 3 is not a port. BEthesda is making the versions simultaneously. And even if it was a port, it means it will be better on the PS3, just like Oblivion. And out of all those games, I am willing to bet more people are more interested in Gears 2 than any oth...
That has got to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen someone put in a comment. How do you compare WWII with a console rivalry? Did Sony attack you in your sleep by dropping PS2's on your head? Is MS going to "Drop the Bomb" on Sony? People here really need to think about what they type and put a filter on this crap. And if MS is th US in your little fanboy WWII scenario, the bombs wouldn't have worked.
@ Jack T: MS did not fix the problem, they put a band-aid on it by extending the warranty and placating people that didn't realize they were getting screwed. And the only reason MS extended the warranty is they were about to get their ass handed to them through several class action lawsuits. If the problem was "fixed", there would be no more reports of RROD. And as for the PS2 problems, okay, I'll give you that one. At least Sony made their current-gen platform reliable.
@ boldy: when the 360's install base exceeds the original XBox's install base, then MS can claim they are increasing their market share. Also, how many XBox owner switched back to PS2s when MS dropped the XBox like a sack of $hit?
@ Jack T: You do realize the irony of your staement, right? I mean, how else do you explain people staying with the 360 after one or more RROD or other problems?
First off all, I never said the core/arcade model sold well. The implicit point was that the core/arcade doesn't sell well, and if MS drops the price of the core/arcade ignorant joe six pack will go and buy the core/arcade without realizing that his system is incomplete. Now expand that to hundreds of thousands or millions of Joe sixpacks and the install base of core/arcade users becomes even higher, further fragmenting the install base of 360 owners with a HDD and those without. And I agree,...
I already know I will get a lot of disagrees for this but, think about it this way: If the core/arcade SKU becomes cheaper than the Wii, then, one would logically assume that for people who shop primarily on price, the core/arcade SKU will become more attractive. This is probably one of the WORST things MS can do.
The more core/arcade units out there, the more people who will be left out of features due to a lack of a HDD. MS should have attempted to cut its losses with the co...
Way to miss the point completely. I am talking about the demogrophic that the 360 is supposed to be catering to, not the Wii demographic. And who said anything about online gaming? I didn't mention anything about online gaming. I said that features are being left out to those 360 owners without a HDD. And right now, it's only online features. How much longer before developers are going to force MS to accept HDD requirements or multiple discs on multiplatform games. MS cannot allow that to hap...

Sorry, but you are wrong. the title is "Why the PS3 is Relevant Again." not "Why the PS3 is Still Relevant.
There is such a thing as percentages. If you had 99 high rated games out of 1000 games, there would still be a 90% chance of getting a $hitty game. Right now for the number of out on both systems, the PS3 has a higher percentage of high rated games. Also, the numbers above were just for illustration purposes, just so you 360 fanboys don't get your panties in a bunch.
Can we please let this $hit die. No one here is either A: going to change anyone else's mind or have their mind changed, or B: going to be able to have a reasonable discussion/debate about which system has better multiplats. Not that many peple here would want to go with option B anyway, or so it seems.
Exactly. Most PS3 owners right now couldn't care less about the 360's DLC now that MGS4 has a release date, that appears to be solid (no pun intended). So while 360 owners pay an unknown amount for "epic"(?) DLC, after all, who can trust MS's hype machine, PS3 owners will be happier than a pig in $hit getting it on in MGS4. Besides, the way some of these fanboys talk, you'd think they won't play anything else until they're completely done with GTA. And anyone who says that is a liar...
No biggie. I agree Gamepro needs to get some simple fact checking done, but anyone who is surprised by sites using flamebait tactics like this is blind. And I agree that errors should be called out, I just think pulling forum posts to show someone being a fanboy is ironic.
This is NOT news. Somebody b!tching in a forum because they disagree with a site's article is simply somebody b!tching in a forum. Way to go fanboys, somebody else thinks like you. It must be nice not to be alone.
EDIT: I never said the article wasn't inaccurate. My point is that people constantly complain about how fanboys are overunning this site and yet things like this get through. I'm not saying Gamepro was right for the article, and yes they had several factual errors and...
Actually, there is such a thing as brand loyalty. See, in the real world, companies usually try to make the best product they can, or at least have the perception that their product is the best. Some people only drive Fords or only Chevys. Or only drink Coke or only Pepsi. Competition between similar brands is based off of consumer loyalty and stealing the competitors consumer base. Think about yourself, there are certain choices as a consumer that you make over and over again. If you make th...
Trolls are funny. I guess it's tough to read under the bridge, the article is positive.
EDIT: below: Where is it mandatory that people have to but two controllers? Or have your fanboy delusions caused you to actually think that the new controllers are $110?
What's more acurate, controller or a mouse?
Read the article. The devs questioned had generally positive things to say about the sixaxis, which is why I posted the article. Gamesradar is the only negative input in this article.
Actually, I put this article up because if you READ the article, most of the developers are saying that it is a good idea to have it just needs time to be implemented well. Also, I have a PS3 and a PSP, and a Wii(but my wife and kids play with it). So even fans of the PS3 can be mature enough to look at opposing viewpoints without having a coronary. Which is ironic beacuse this is a somewhat pro SIXAXIS article.
EDIT: Below: That is why this isn't listed as news, but as an art...
I think they forgot reason 6, The majority of those acting like d1cks on Live have never gotten laid or rarely get laid and therefore have no idea on how to treat a girl.
