I think they are referring to sales when they say
"Year of (x console)"

So that means that 2008 was not the year of the Playstation. Neither was it the year of 360 however. As for who won last year with quality of games I think its a toss-up. Both X-360 and PS3 had solid lineups.

As for next year though Sony looks like it has way more exclusives than the xbox, but whether those exclusives translate into sales is the big question here for Sony. (Th...

Yes, perhaps the majority of game site writers are actually, "gasp" gamers. Perhaps they don't all pledge allegiance to the system their site supports, and refuse to even touch the opposition. Fanboys need to stop playing the victim by assuming that everyone hates them.

Would you really touch your PSP's huge shiny screen with a stylus? I know I wouldn't.

Action-oriented Dragon Quest ala Crisis Core?

Keep Dreaming.

The man makes several valid points on why MS should not include blu-ray in its immediate plans. After all they didn't include an HD-DVD drive to begin with, because of its cost and uncertain future.

I feel the same way. If I say anything at all negative that is PS3 related I almost always get multiple disagrees. I don't know if that means there are more Sony fanboys or not, but thats just in my experience. I'm not biased one way or the other, as I've also commented negatively about MS. My preference is actually the PS3 right now.

I just wish some fanboys on this site(both sides)would look at constructive criticism as that, and not as hate on their console.

Yes I guess you could say that, but still a 7% console share is significantly better than what the original Xbox accomplished.

I don't think the Xbox will ever be fully embraced as a whole by japan, but I think its presence will grow with future generations if MS continues to market it there.

First of all Sony shouldn't have spent so much time to simply create a virtual chatroom. If that is what they intended then I think they failed. The interface is clumsy and unless you have a keyboard or keyboard attachment for your controller, simple conversations can be a huge pain.

Yes I know its free, but that doesn't mean that a lot of people weren't disappointed when it launched, myself included.

What EA has planned is significant, and I think that is what Sony...

I tried doing that yesterday but when I tried opening home, I got a message saying that there was a problem downloading and I couldn't get in.

Has anyone else had that problem? I've tried looking up the problem but haven't seen anything.

Wow I had a hard time reading this article. Finnish words are so long and weird.

Anyway, the PS3s slight lead does not surprise me, seeing as the PS brand is more internationally known for gaming. The 360 is starting to make an inroad though and that cannot be denied.

Killzone is looking really good right now and is actually coming pretty close to the original trailer from E3. If I had more interest in shooters, I'd be pretty excited about this one.

That would depend on what you mean by beating it. If you mean just getting through the game, nah, I beat it without a guide in 35 hours.

If you mean completing all the side quests and getting everything though, yeah itd be nearly impossible without a guide.

Yeah i was in that same boat. lol

It probably actually took me 3 hours to get the bastard. I guess its good i didn't have to use a guide or i wouldn't be a true gamer. (> <)

"He says "Sony has to look forward to" meaning in the future (next Gen). Is "another generation just like this one". And goes on to make his point."

And what is his point exactly? That a large number of people want the playstation brand out of the business. Does his assumption have any basis in fact? I look at trends that have already happened my friend, data that has already been recorded, not the assumptions of a wounded fanboy. The playstation 1 d...

Ummm... youre right, It isn't there anymore. The author probably got called out on it and had to edit it.

Seeing as how xbox only sold around 20 million last gen, this is good sales figures for microsoft.

Who effin cares about maxing out anyway? The Xbox was better graphically than PS2 from day one yet the PS2 outsold it more than 5 to 1. Cripes look at Persona 4 just coming out. That game is obviously dated, yet people still like it.

What I'm trying to say is that the games themselves, not just the graphics is what sells a system.

Couldn't agree with you more.

And for the record, I dont think most reviewers are biased. Could it be that maybe Warhawk wasn't that great of a game? And just because MGS4 doesn't win goty from every publication doesn't mean they all have it in for the PS3. Just because you feel its the best doesn't mean everyone else does or should. And Home? Give me a break, after all the promises Sony made regarding it, its not getting panned enough in my opinion.

and this guy w...

"Ps3 owners are being treated to groundbreaking games in terms of graphics, gameplay, and online multiplay, not to mention user created content, and will be the first console to support a lifelike 3d user environment and the first console to support a 3D MMORPG MMORPG (like WoW)"

Is that right. The PS3 is the first console to support a 3D MMORPG?. I believe Dreamcast owners were playing Phantasy Star Online way back in 2000, and you know I think it was in 3D. And if you...

About the only use of Sixaxis im interested in is Flower. That game/visual trip seems like it will actually make good use of the controls. Every other game Ive played with it (not that many to be honest) has been more of an annoyance than an enhancer.

Uncharted's use of it to balance on logs and arc grenades was bad, but the use of it to steer boats in Saints Row 2 and helicopters in GTA4 was just plain awful. I'm not saying that all previous efforts have been the same, but it j...
