Note that the above analysis comes from Oner, a guy who up until yesterday, thought that Jerry Yang was their CEO - http://n4g.com/NewsPendingC...
More faux facts falling out of your anus is it? Microsoft have made profit on Vista, maybe not as much as they could have done, but it's quite hard to lose money when you have a monopoly.
I think he's riffing off Yoda's weird sentence construction (Star Wars).
The moderators are pathetic. The approval chain is a joke. The submitter claims he just posted the story ad-verbatim without even a hint of fact checking. And we reward him with contributor ranks for that?
11 hours after the story was submitted, and it's still on the front page.
This story would not have had the amount of hits without the misleading headline. If you want tech layoff news, I suggest Valleywag. They even have a leak of the Yahoo firing script for ...
I've only been commenting here for about 2 weeks, so maybe this is just the tip of the iceberg
The approval chain is just a circle jerk. Contribution points should be removed from this tripe. Anyone who believes Yang to be the Microsoft CEO should really stop thinking, really, don't even try.
Reviews have been good though.
This game is averaging higher than World at War. I'm guessing people just want the safe option.
Well, I wasn't a big fan of Gears of War either, but I take it you masturbated yourself unconscious over the Cole Train because of its unadulterated critical acclaim from all sides.
Don't pretend that your opinion has ever mattered either. Welcome to the world of Fail and You.
I agree with some of their choices, number 1 included, but I'm disappointed by others. I want to get this rant of my chest, because everyone seems to be loving Dead Space right now.

Dead Space is the dullest game I've come across this year. Maybe I'm too used to the short tightly scripted, amazingly paced games from Valve, but Dead Space is such a bore.
I'm on the USS Valor, and I've just stopped playing, this is a game that ran out of ideas at th...
It's definitely one of the most vibrant homebrew platforms. I just wish Sony would give up with their futile firmware arms race.
Have you read the story? He is sticking to what he said, he's just calling out those who misinterpreted it as retards.
It's really not that hard to grasp, it is however, stating the obvious.
I doubt it, is there any suggestion that the Zego chips are 45nm instead of PS3 standard 65nm?
Yes, of course server rooms are air conditioned due to the amount of kit in there. But that's not the point, the point is, you have a guarantee that air entering the machine will be in a certain range. A PS3 has to deal with folding on a summer's day in an enclosed rack underneath your TV.
The reason the cooling is rearranged is because all rack mounted servers take cool ...
Re: ECKOo9
It's essentially a rack-mounted PS3. Pretty much all servers fit into industry standardised racks, and so must fit into certain dimensions.
Having a rack mounted PS3 will mean that server vendors and IT providers will be able to consider the cell as a platform (although I don't think this will be any more than a niche accelerator).
But more importantly I think, it makes it a lot easier for Sony to host dedicated PS3 servers. It means they can do it...
You're arguing about system attach rates? I take it you love banging on about the 360's attach rate all the time.
That's 36 million retail. Steam sales do not feature. Maybe GT has sold more overall, who knows? Valve also publish third party games, and deal with cybercafe licensing.
But you're comparing two astonishing series, neither of which suggest that the other's respective markets are dead. I could just as easily compare GT's lifetime sales to those of the...
No, I meant that this story was just copied off the Gamasutra story (which obviously indicates the data came from Valve).
I stand by my assertion that Steam sales being insignificant is an entire fail of an assumption.
My argument has not concerned Blizzard, or any other developer, at all.
Must be insignificant? What a f8cking failure of an assumption.
The original source of these figures, as far as I can tell were from Gamasutra - http://www.gamasutra.com/ph... where they mention that Steam was projected to surpass retail for Valve products this year.
Even if they haven't, it's still going to account for a significant proportion of their sales.
Yeah locos, actually agree with you on that bit. It's what annoyed me the most about San Andreas too, having to keep my muscle mass up and eat the right food etc.
If I wanted to play the Sims, I'd play the Sims.
I disagree, but I can understand your point. The nod towards social realism that GTA IV offered was refreshing and bold, and I for one enjoyed it as did the majority of critics.
I can see that people just want some sandbox blasting. But you've got Saints Row, Crackdown and Just Cause to give you that. Isn't that enough?
The source is UK Resistance, not Kotaku.
How long did it (will it) take for HDTV to replace SDTV as the standard? How much spectrum space will be available for broadcast? How much bigger will your TVs get? There's a law of diminishing returns which is going to hit fast.
Net speeds have grown a lot faster and price per gigabyte of HD space has fallen a lot faster than our thirst for high fidelity film.
Digital distribution will take over, no matter what luddites rail over. It's already happened to music,...
This story should never have been approved, the headline is totally misleading, and was drawn purely to get controversy and flamebait, to generate an inflated "hot" rating at any means while ignoring accuracy and integrity. The lunatics are running the asylum, N4G moderation need to step up, and begin detracting scores and bubbles for such detrimental behaviour.
Those who approved this article have done N4G a disservice. The article barely touches upon Sony, Sony is n...
GTA IV was fantastic, it's still effortlessly more stylish and polished than any other "open world" game, from the details to the humour to the soundtrack, it just oozes quality.
GTA IV was the right direction for the series, I grew disenfranchised with the juvenile pew-pew-pew jetpacks, and GTA IV delivered so much more. The action was improved, a better storyline with more complex characters.
I see people complaining about the lack of "fun"...
