Sony needs another price cut this summer.
The lineup for 2008 looks stong but many of those games will fall to 09. I think the only system move for the ps3 this year is GT5. MGS4 will be amazing but it's not a system mover. MG5 however, will move units.
Sony needs 1 more price drop to have the
80 @ 399 and the
40 @ 299.99
That will force MS to cut their prices and stop eating like a fat pig on an overpriced consoles that should have had a pric...
Thats not what I was going with this.
There a both button mashers.
Yes NG has mor eof an advanced combo and combat system and it has more combat elements but they are both very similar in design. Enter area and clear area of bad guys
I would have loved to see this an NG go head to head.
Gamer bliss
Ms is making money hand over fist and it's all due to Sony's price point. MS doesn't ccare if it sells the most or not. They care more about turning a profit. Sony cannot afford to cut the price of the PS3 for a long time and MS doesn't care to have it's lead chipped into by a few hundred thousand units. It is going to retain it's price point and continue to sell 200K a month in the US at a 100.00 profit. It will continue to make about $100.00 per HDD sold(120 gig). It will continue to raking...
Ownnnnnnnnnnnage!
Lol, i wonder what's his response!
His article had no facts to it.
Come on Mart,
We don't know anything about either titles.
Lets not crown them until we know what they are going to be like.
I say the same thing to people proclaiming MGS4 to be the best game this year. Lets wait and see
NO I mentioned that because it the Sony fanboys that talk aout no HDD.
It wouldn make sense to talk about MS fanboys arguing about HDD.
All console have their fanboy/ nerds.
If you think I'm one...lol mor epower to you, hoever, I've been gaming befoe Sony or MS even thougt about gaming consoles. Why would I pledge alligence to any 1 console maker? Neither were around when I was a serious gamer! I'll leave it to you 16 yers olds to argue about 4 usb ports vs. 3 usb...
Like people have pointed out. It's not needed to play games.
Online for Burnout is missing but, I believe that the price of admission is more important than selling consoles for a loss.
MS is making money hand over fist this gen and it pisses alot of people off. MS is exactly where they wanted to be. They are going to put aside 1 billion for the reparing of 360's thru it's life time but Until sony is ready to bring the price of the Ps3 down someone, MS is going to be mak...

Link?
While I wouldn't say I don't want it...
I hae grown bored with MGS games. Lovely looking games and immersive enviroments but I find the gameplay has loss it's edge. It's animations are way to stiff for todays combat systems. The combat is even worst. Not bashing the game, just saying it's showing it's teeth.
Also the story has turned into a soap opera.
Fanboys like you give gamers a bad name.
Last gen your peloved ps2 had none of these things and you rebuked them in the xbox. Why all the love for standard things this gen?
If sony said so, it must be so.
Sony said I need built in wireless..I need it
Sony said I need a HDD drive, I need it.
MS says I need in game messaging...Lol I don't need that
lol...
Sony fanboys love HDD this gen.
Last gen it was stupid and memory cards were the best thing ever.
Irony.
MS is not launching the next 360 unil 2011. Please ignore the life cycle of the xbox. MS did not own the ability to produce their chips so they were loosing money on every console sold. When the ps3 has a 150 million user base and your console has sold 35 million, why would you keep selling consoles and losing money on each console sold? It's a hopeless cause....
The 360 however, is a different beast. MS owns chip production. They are currently making money on each console sold...
Why is MS in debt?
It has prorated a billion dollars for refurbishing consoles..
It hasn't taken a hit for a billion.
It will take proceeds of it's quarterly income. It's not a 1 time hit.
Ms is making money Sony at this point isn't.
You can't dispute that Ms' isn't in a good position.
It's sitting pretty. We are looking at consoles sold and MS is looking at dollars made.
Expect anoth huge profit for this quarter and th...
How many millions are in a billion? 1000.
However, pleas ekeep something in mind.
1) Ms posted 350 million in profit last Quarter. That's a 3rd of the billion right there.
2) The 1 billion was set aside for warrenty issues, it doesn't mean it was spent already and I figure that that figured was worst case scenrio.
3)MS makes money off of Live.
$50 X 4 million = and additional 200 million in revenue from live( not including downloads)
You do realize that Ms is making a killing in it's gaming division right now right? Between ads, software sales and selling an almost 3 year old console for 20.00 less than its luanch price.
I guess that Ms is making $100.00 off of every console sold.
$50.00 off of the 20 gig HDD
$100 off og the 120 gig
And hundreds of millions off of Software revenue...
Sony is loosing money on ever console sold and not seeling enough software. Who do yo...
Compaling abotu GOW2 is silly when you are praising..
Resistance 2 Killzone 3
Mgs4, Gt5, FF13, R&C 5,
and looking forward to GOW3, Jax 7
See how stupid you look?
The fact is MS has alot going for it. It's making money hand over fist. Hardware companies make money in software not hardware.
Sony is still loosing money for ever Ps3 sold.
While Ms is making money on ever 360 sold( 2 years at the same price point...

It's also better for sports games and action games...
Basically Sony's stick is only better for fighters and puzzle games.
What are you talking about?
