I'll be surprised if it reaches 2.5m quickly. That being said I payed off my pre-order when I picked up odst and the tool at gamestop was questioning me about why I was picking it up. Surprised I have both consoles I suppose, but it's the fact that it's not as main stream as some of us would like. I loved the first and can't wait for the second, but Im thinking it won't do as well as it should.
From a business stand point, pulling out would be a terrible idea, unless MS doesn't plan on releasing there next console in Japan. If they pulled out now they would be screwing over the people who do enjoy the 360 there. Those people would not purchase the next MS console.
Also, lets keep in mind that Japan's population is about 1/3 the size of the US so the equivalent sales in the US would be if the 360 had sold 3mil to date (based on population size). Obviously this is still n...
Fair enough on your claim that your comment wasn't fanboyish, and I enjoyed KZ2 very much but realistically id always sets the bar extremely high with each iteration of their engines. Additionally, the KZ2 engine was designed for the PS3, not exactly the architecture of a typical PC which is not a platform id works to neglect.
I'd be very upset if somehow KZ2 looked better than Rage or Doom 4 will on my PC. Very, very upset.
Im sorry, but justifying anything because it's trendy is ridiculous. Im not saying this as a bash to the ps3, but for those who think this is neat and somehow means those of us who own a 360 can't meet a girl or function in society are again, ridiculous.
On a side note maybe thats why I can never pick up a girl, I always open with "I have an extensive 360 games library" when all along it should have been "I have an extensive PS3 games library". Or maybe the p...
The article seems odd, since 720p is still HD output. So I am one of those who has HD but I don't use HDMI. It seems kinda of misleading, because theres no way in hell i'd be stuck in standard rez, but if I was asked whether or not I used the HDMI I would have to say I do not.
@Resevoirdog
I don't think he was referring to local fox / nbc news but their national programs. On which I would have to say fox is probably the most laughable, hypocritical of the lot. I can't really defend the others but fox is not well rounded.
On point, was Jaz350 brilliantly ironic or just the biggest retard who's completely missed the point of this entire article?
You guys are all idiots... KZ2 was crap, GeoW 2 was crap, Halo 3 was crap, MGS4 was crap, LBP was crap, Mass Effect was a joke, and further more I hate you guys.
Seriously, all fun games, all looked good in their own right. I know because I've played them not because I read reviews or looked at screen shots.
Ohhh, I get it. He's a persistent thug. In that he just makes crap up over and over again.
Im not sure how a roughly 150 man company is even remotely like microsoft which has thousands upon thousands of employees.
If you think valve is a one trick pony it's because you're assuming they are this massive company that just chooses not to advance their tech. They don't advance it atm because they're finishing the HL2 series and don't have the man power to do both simul...
Yeah, but MGS4? Of all the metal gear solids I think I'd put that last on my list (of 1-4). The whole list seemed a bit goofy to me. They were all good games, but many are far from the best.
Halo franchise for one, out scoring Super Mario World, and theres no mention of any zelda game. Theres no Metroid... Ah well, I guess it's just opinions anyway.
I think crysis could take the win for most of the categories you listed. However, not best art direction since they were just going for real life. If I had to pick Id say best art direction goes to Cruis'n on the wii. Check it out if you don't believe me.

@kale
Are you talking about the flamethrower in gears 2? Because I thought they did a pretty good job with that. It was a good mix of realism with enough solidity to the fire so you could really tell where you were shooting it.
While I liked the flamethrower in KZ2 I found I kept burning myself because it was less obvious where the flames were. But also, you can't pepper the environment with flames in gears like you can in KZ2. I liked both the flamethrowers for the...
Im not sure how you managed to get disagrees on that one. Either people don't like those sure to be great games you mentioned, or maybe its even a PS3 fanboy upset that you don't have enough money for a PS3?
This site confuses me, either way I'm pumped for ODST and Uncharted 2.
I used to think Ender's Game was a great novel. Apparently I was wrong because the author is homophobic. Same goes for shadow Complex, I thought the game was excellent, but apparently it can't be.
If anyone actually boycott's this game because they are gay, I think Ill die a little inside.
Haha, seriously. Me and my buddy are playing through prime again atm. Wonderful freaking game, even by todays standards.
You should get it, it's really a fantastic game. I honestly would pay upwards of 40 dollars for it but they're only asking for about 15. It's a rare day when I feel like I got a deal on anything that I download over xbox live, but this game sure is.
Im the same way techwiz, I always check on Asus boards first. Of 4 mobo's Ive had with them over the years I've never had a problem. I also have one of their gaming laptops. By far the best interior specs for the price at the time I bought it and it still runs great.
Im surprised to hear of people having so many problems because I always went with asus because they were reliable. But I guess tech products can never be 100 percent. Or, better than 33 percent in Heldrasil's case lo...
Id disagree with #1, since Golden Eye on the N64 was top notch.
@above
500 dollars roughly.
Im not saying uncharted doesn't look great, it does. I loved the first and can't wait for the second, but that's no reason to spread disinformation about PC gaming which is clearly the underdog compared to console gaming. I don't think all the people in here talking about crysis are knocking UC2, just that it's a better example of photo realism in gaming. Plus, like a lot of people have said and I agree, UC2 is much more stylized and it fi...
@sarcasm
Agreed. I have a ps3, 360 and a PC which plays crysis on very high 50fps. (note, I don't have a wii)
@hero
The PC I have is a year old and cost 800 dollars...
8gigs of ram
Quad core 2.66
Ati HD4870
For those who claim it cost thousands for a quite nice gaming PC, it doesn't.
It's not only possible on the PS3. Just saying, the ps3 is easily out performed by most computers. That's not a knock, but it's true. There is nothing magical about the cell. Just a new architecture that has it's benefits and it's pitfalls. That being said, yes, UC2 looks very nice and I can't wait to pick up my copy.
Also as a point of reference, one gun in Unreal 3 (the one being used by the player) has about 10k polys.
