Most people don't have Gigabit Ethernet capable routers and/or fast enough internet connections that would utilise the extra bandwidth over 100Mbit Ethernet.

Silicon Knights aren't exactly fans of the PC, look at all the issues they had just trying to get Too Human out for a console.

I wouldn't consider a game I can play on two different platforms an exclusive but then a game doesn't have to be exclusive for me to buy it as I'm not a raving fanboi.

While I would like to say good for you chances are like most PS3/PC owners you'll buy PS3 games and just pirate PC games because you can and then wonder why the platforms influence is dwindling.

"Sony/Microsoft exclusives may not be everything, but they’re the only ones that matter."

Quoted for ignorance. Even if they don't like Wii Sports (I find it boring and shallow) you have to admit it's the most popular new IP this gen and has probably sold more hardware than any other game.

Nintendo had to take risks because if they stayed with the same formula they would have been third this generation as well.

Nintendo often intentionally keep third parties in the dark when dealing with new tech/accessories so they have a leg-up over them.

There's a reason more devs are working on 360 and PS3 games, it's largely due to Nintendo's business practices which heavily prioritises in-house interests to the detriment of third parties.

Hardcore ga...

PC and 360 are the most cost effective platforms to develop on so it's really no surprise.

Developers care little about the most powerful hardware ect, all they care about is profit margins and so far this gen the 360 has clearly been the primary console bread winner for most western third parties.

Sony have been improving their SDK but I doubt they'll ever top MS' SDK, if anything Sony will probably use MS' SDK as a model and copy it similar to what they did with co...

Blu-ray has its place but until it's the same price and as readily available as DVD many people will overlook it. Other than my tech friends the rest can't justify the additional outlay on an expensive BD player and BD movie they'll watch two maybe three times at most.

Watched First Knight a while ago on DVD and then more recently on Blu-ray and it continued my trend of not really caring too much about Blu-ray's technical advantages.

Sure the picture and sound was be...

Considering Gamespot's recent credibility this score means little, most people interested in impartial reviews stopped reading Gamespot a long time ago.

It was probably the most Epic Halo game just not the most epic FPS (which is impossible on a console anyway given RAM constraints).

Not everyone has to like every game. I think the Halo games are all good but I've never liked the MGS games and from the reviews MGS4 hasn't changed the formula enough to appeal to me.

Microsoft could provide servers so that games can have bugger multiplayer caps but they won't and Xbl will continue to be a lag ridden service for people in more remote parts of the world, that is dominated by the people that get host.

Was really looking forward to this, hopefully all the issues are sorted out before launch.

Really glad I didn't pickup GTAIV with a PS3.

A mate bought the PS3 version and had issues with it crashing during the first cut-scene but managed to get past it on the third try only to have constant freezing in-game, reinstalled and tried the game again but it killed his BD drive so now its off to Sony.

He's so desperate he returned the PS3 version and got the 360 version but I wouldn't be handing over my money until the issues are fixed.

I don't feel ...

Both MS and Sony leave developers the option of using p2p or putting in their own servers. As servers are costly third parties heavily favour p2p.

AFAIK MS is the only one to offer a complete underlying p2p framework which is partly why it is so popular as adding it to a game adds very little cost whereas on the PS3 side most if not all the code has to be provided by the developers.

I don't comment on future possibilities because it is pointless as both services may ...

For once Mart actually makes a logical statement yet people bash him, N4PS3fanbois has become a joke.

Didn't the Xbox only sell ~25 million? If so how can the 360 sell 35-40 million again?

6579d ago 0 agree4 disagreeView comment

Too bad that hasn't materialised in reality, according to the PS fanbois some 360 exclusives are apparently short (under 10 hours) due to the 360's capacity constraints, what's the PS3's excuse (Heavenly Sword, Uncharted the list goes on).
