"guess, they're abandoning 360?"
All signs point to yes.
Look at Microsoft's actions over the last couple of years:
* They have been shutting down their first party development studios
* They let major exclusive third party developers like Bioware and Bizarre Creations get bought by multiplatform publishers
* They let their one big developer Bungie leave the company
Everything you would expect a company to...
The PSP Go is just another model of the 54 million selling PSP. Nothing more. Nothing less.
It's nothing more than an option for people who want to go purely download only for their handheld.
The PSP is the most successful non-Nintendo handheld in history. Sony doesn't need to gloat. The PSP worldwide sales figures speak for themselves.
"My point, VGChartz has become much more serious in its data as it has grown"
Give it a rest guy. The only thing that has changed is the idiot who makes up the fake numbers has less and less of a percentage to inflate 360 sales as time goes on.
Are you really stupid enough to believe some former neogaf poster is doing worldwide retail tracking while a huge company like NPD has a large staff that companies have been paying for their services for many years a...
"At this pace PS3 might be able to get out of 3rd place by 2-3 year of the next console cycle."
LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!
The PS3 has already dumped the Xbox 360 into LAST PLACE in 2/3rds of the worlds gaming markets. And it is getting destroyed in worldwide sales by a tremendous rate right now.
Hell, even the US which the only region the 360 isn't in LAST PLACE the PS3 is generating the same or higher revenue for ...
It's not a legend.
The guy's name was ioi on the neogaf forums. Unless the old threads have been deleted or aren't saved in Google they should be there for anyone to see with their own eyes.
But you really don't need to see the old neogaf threads where the vgchartz guy was humiliated for his lies and eventually banned for life, the numbers themselves are so laughably fake that it should be obvious to anyone.
The guy is so desperate to help the Xbox 360 o...
It is staggering to look back at the extent of Xbox fans attempts to takeover the gaming media. And what a complete failure it was.
Vgchartz.com was setup by a twenty something year old Xbox fan to inflate Xbox 360 sales and undercount PS3 sales.
Gametrailers was doing their part rigging and faking PS3 vs Xbox 360 multiplatform comparisons.
Sites like 1Up were effectively Microsoft marketing branches that also functioned as stepping off points for hardco...
Any service, like Microsoft's, is a complete joke if they are forcing you to pay them to have other players host games off their crappy home network connections.
Halo 3
Gears of War 1&2
With Microsoft's claimed billions ready to be just thrown at the console gaming market and 50 dollar a year online fees generating hundreds of millions of revenue a year you are at the mercy of every random clown who is hosting a game while he torrents gigs of porn and intro...
Granted Turn 10 has nowhere near the talent of Polyphony and they are stuck with the massively weaker Xbox 360 graphics hardware.
But...
that doesn't excuse Forza's absolutely F-ed up lighting model and car rendering. The massive parallel number crunching power of the SPUs in the PS3 give Polyphony the power to implement GT's insane lighting model, but even GT on the PSP has a more realistic lighting model than Forza 3 - but at a lower resolution.
LOL! Funny.
Doing an honest comparison of 1080p GT vs 720p Forza would defeat the purpose of this article.
The gaming media desperately wants to keep the illusion that 360 is in the same graphical league as the PS3.
Can you imagine the cries of outrage if the gaming media compared a 360 game running at 480p to a Wii game and spouted a bunch of both games 'have plusses and minuses' BS like this silly article?
SWORDF1SH is like listening to some little kid who keeps trying to claim Pro Wrestling 'is real'...
It's even worse. Pro Wrestling actually puts some effort into trying to look legit at some level.
The idiot who runs vgchartz is too stupid to even be able to keep the gaming world from laughing at his latest made up numbers.
"VGChartz is now a reliable source if you like it or not."
The only idiots who don't just laugh at vgchartz's fake sales numbers are:
1. The one or two Xbox fans who run the garbage site's latest SPAM accounts
2. Hard core Xbox fans
"Until there is another site that gives us pre-order numbers vgchartz is the only thing we've got"
WTF???
LOL!
Vchartz is nothing but some 20 something y...
"The other plus side is the huge online community on the 360."
Was that supposed to be a joke?
A console where you can only play online with people who are dumb enough to be paying 50 dollar a year online fees with
vs.
A console where every single gamer with a Net connection can play the game
It's not like this is the first game this gen that has been downgraded because of the 360.
The PS3 has a massive graphical power advantage over the 360. A bigger graphical power advantage than any other gen in console history.
It goes all the way back to the PS3 launch. The 360 could only run Ridge Racer at 720. The PS3 was able to run it at 1080p 60fps.
And it has been like that for this entire gen all the way up to the latest games. The 360 can only ge...
"has there ever been a more deluded development studio?"
Turn 10 has no talent.
Turn 10 has no class.
Just look at the people who work there. There is that guy Che. He got himself a job at 1Up and handed out joke 9/10 reviews for Microsoft games before getting hire to...Microsoft. He is a regular in every single GT thread on the neogaf forums. He is so retarded at his attempts to hide is bad mouthing of GT that he actually got a tag mocking his GT tro...
Golly, looks like when know who wrote that garbage of a 'review' now...
"the sane xbox 360 fans didn't expect microsoft to do as well this gen as they have. "
OMG!!!
Are there still Xbox fans this delusional???
That is so hilariously sad! Love it!
Microsoft craps out the biggest console failure in history and the hardcore fans are still desperately sitting around in forums trying to pretend their POS console isn't the laughing stock of the console world.
Crazy big sales for the PS3 in Japan and worldwide. Absolutely shocking to think the PS3 is now as expensive as the PS2 was at its launch, 299.
PS3 sales are going to be mind bogglingly huge when Sony drops the price to 199.
Microsoft is just in face saving mode in Japan. Better to waste their resources on keeping the farce going than suffer the humiliation and laughter from the gaming community of giving up on one of the three major console gaming markets.
<...
A site that puts out fake sales numbers doing reviews?
LOL, fail...
Kojima disowning this silly action spinoff game was the most epic ownages in all of E3 history. There never was another company who got humiliated so as Microsoft did by Kojima.
You had Xbox fans desperately creating endless MSG4 rumors day after day. They were so desperate mods on forums started making it clear that you were going to get banned for even trying to find some way of implying a MGS4 port for the 360.
And then E3 where finally failed to get a port of MGS...
