" It never ends you guys spin this two years to one year stuff way too much. Yet in a heart beat someone would say how the PS2 is killing the 360. Does the head start not matter in that case?

Additionally, people in the past has said that the 360's attach rate in the US is bigger because the US has a bigger fanbase. (Which really has nothing to do with the percentages of attach rates.) Yet no one wants to give the 360 credit in japan for having a bigger attach rate with a ...

Wow... I hope you're being sarcastic.

Wii= 10,258,115 Titles sold

PS3= 2,809,252 Titles sold

X360= 2,001,604 Titles sold

So, even straight across the numbers are 30% higher. This doesn't take into account TWO YEARS of sales for the 360 vs. ONE YEAR of Wii and PS3.

These attach rates are not indicative of anything at the moment. If it continues past the second year it'll be bad for the wii and ps3, but if the 360 doesn'...

Possibly true.

If so then I certainly see the connection between the popularity of wii/ipod bashing and sheepishness.

unfortunately that doesn't seem to be happening. Traffic hasn't decreased significantly. As long as the traffic's high, the adverts and money flow. Doesn't look like they're going anywhere.

This is always fun.

My opinion? Zack and Wiki looks nothing like anything on the n64, but if it did... I wouldn't care. That's because Z&W does have the gameplay, humor and complexity to back it up. Classic games don't die when their graphics become outdated. Thus Z&W will continue to be referenced as a great game for a long time.

Ask yourself if the same is true about your HD titles.

Some people really must want war at any cost...

First of all, Sony has had plenty of games that fit right along side of mario. Maybe not the exact same genre, though I think probably even there. Any of the Team ICO games count, as do many others. Mario's a great game, but there have been plenty of great games on the playstation as well.

Second, only fanboys are mad when a great game is on another console. Real gamers (those not gaining their identity from consol...

"This is real Innovation. You don't need motion controls to have innovative gameplay."

Nice dichotomy. Not everything is mutually exclusive, you know.

There's not a wii fan out there that would argue against this being innovative. I also doubt there are too many outside úber fanbois that would say that no one can innovate without motion controls. That's just silly. What I would say is that it's a shame that devs get so caught up in their 'by the n...

Yeah, you buy it. Then the sony cc billing department sees the $299 or greater purchase on your bill (not just the PS3) and within 45 days they'll credit your account.

I don't think there's huge risk with this... as long as you pay on time and don't make any mistakes (and have it paid off by the 12 month time frame). If you pay late once, or leave any balance past 12 months there's a good chance you won't save any money at all... Just remember that one late payment cancels all...

Not that surprising.

"I'm not sure I follow the logic here. In fact, I'm quite sure that I don't follow it.

VC-1 is supported by both formats. How does this support the conclusion that Microsoft backs HD-DVD because of VC-1?"

Don't worry. There's no logic involved. Those are both arguments regularly espoused in threads lambasting HDDvd. All I'm saying in this side of it is that MS can't be so myopic as to be both prolonging the war for digital and pushing HDdvd just for VC-...

I'm sick of this too. But this part confirms some of my comment in the last big "JG wins the Lottery thread":

"Also, see that chart up there? That’s the estimated traffic performance of GameSpot over the most recent seven-day stretch that the figures are available. Remember, this story broke on Nov 29. That’s when people on the Internet started talking about blacking out the site.

Note the lack of a dip."

In fact, traffic has ri...

Yep. Actually a re-release or a new ad campaign would also be great. Hopefully the first one might still have some possibilities. I know I bought it for some new wii owners for xmas.

I was very glad to see that poor sales didn't cancel any chance of a sequel. :)

""As long as there is no clear winner, customers will remain hesitant to commit. That won't be good for anybody's pocketbook, including Microsoft's." Where is anything that supports this statement? Again, Microsoft has the least to lose from their pocketbook in terms of (miniscule) income from the HD-DVD add-on. It's a different story if they have, in fact, made significant payoffs to Toshiba and Paramount to prevent a Blu-ray victory."

errr... not exactly. Jin-roh and Red Spectacles are both parts of the Kerberos saga. Yes, Red Spectacles was released earlier, but the manga was the inspiration for both.

So, if you're going to get that technical, all of these are rip-offs of the Kerberos Saga manga...

"Everyone must agree that BioShock is the most deserving."

Wow... interesting assertion.

Based not on my opinion, just given my observations of this site, I'd say that'd be a 'no'.
