"I'd dare say Square Enix shot themselves in both feet, either of which being North Amerca/Europe and Japan, in regards to reputation among their fanbase. "
I call it smart and good business. They sold a sh*t load of FF13 games both on the PS3 and X360. Do you really think they care about a small group of stupid fanboys ranting because the game wasn't exclusive to the PS3. They are here to make the most money they can, and that's what they did. In relati...
Tell me something. If you had a 3rd party software company, would you make your games exclusive to one console or try to launch it to the maximum of consoles possible?
What is it with PS3 fanboys, that they get pissed when one of their exclusives go to another console? The PS3 has receiver more x360 exclusives then the other way around.
"Yoichi Wada Gets Death Threats Over Xbox 360 FFXIII "
What morons. Threatening people simply because a game is ported to another platform. Somebody should beat the sh*t out of them.
"How Far Will Microsoft Go To Make A Buck ?"
They would sell their soul to the devil to make a buck... just like every big company.
Sony... arrogant as usual. Instead of promoting their product, they make fun of the competition. How long has Kevin Butler been making fun of the Wii and X360? It's not helping the sales of the PS3 in the USA. Just take a look of that kid making publicity of the PSP in the USA. Nobody likes the arrogant.
Until now...
My GOTY's are Red Dead Redemption and Starcraft 2.
After those are God of War 3 and Mass Effect 2.
Until the end of the year, it may change.
I'll pass judgment when it's released.

... and the numbers for NPD July 2010
Xbox 360 -...
Yep... for some N4G users it's ok to pirate everything except the PS3. It's ok to pirate pc games, PC OS, x360 games, wii games, movies, music, tv shows, ebooks, etc... etc...etc... but God forbid, it's not ok to pirate ps3 games.
I wasn't talking hardware... i was talking about a software emulator, like the much publicized emulator Sony would release to include with the PS3's without the PS2 chip. Why wasn't that emulator ever released. They did not release it because they are greedy bastards that wanted to make more money reselling the same game. Sony are in the console business to make money. Don't be surprised if the future PS4 comes with "pay to play online" ... like the Xbox.
<...
Of course they did. They come with a "brilliant" idea to sell the same game (remade in HD) twice to the same consumer, like God of War collection and Sly Cooper collection. I bet a great more PS2 games will be coming to the PS3.
The best gaming platform is not the PC... it's Windows with DirectX :)
Looks like ... Kinect.
Is anybody surprised with this score?
I think the USA and Japanese sales are more or less right. The problem is the EMEAA sales. There are just to many countries to estimate the software and hardware sales in all of them.
"COD: Black Ops - PC gets even more features"
I already had decided it was the PC version for me. You don't have to convince me :)
From what i have seen, it's great... but WAY TO EXPENSIVE. I will not be getting it anytime soon.
It's funny reading some of these comments. A lot of rage against Jailbreak because of piracy, but they don't mind:
... using illegal OS, like Windows, cracked...
... downloading illegal music (MP3's) from the Internet ...
... downloading illegal Filmes (AVI's) from the Internet ...
... downloading illegal software from the Internet ...
... downloading illegal PC games, X360, Wii, DS and PSP (software) from the Internet ...
... do...
I think that to. Maybe be a time exclusive... just like they did with GTA4 episodes. It's to much money to ignore if they don't go multiplatform with this game.
Well ... i don't care. I will probably be getting the PS3 version, since it's in that console it's coming out first.
I bet that most commentators on this article did not even read the article.
The $5 million offer was in 2002. Plants vs Zombies did not exist at that time. So $5 million was probably a good offer at the time but they refused it. PopCap are much more valuable now. If Microsoft had bought them in 2002, they probably wouldn't exist now.
Lot of ignorants in N4G. Read before commenting.
