This article is pure theory, propaganda, and opinion. It is not supported by numbers, like the numbers which say "PS3 is on the rise." I do not believe numbers lie. Especially NPD numbers which now indicate that PS3 sales have TRIPLED since last month (check Gamespots latest news)...and that is without the results of the price drop. This is the kind of momentum that, garnered by a steady monthly feeding of quality games, will ensure that this growth of sales is no fluke (of which it...

"Just as Gears of War took extra time to port to the PC, a simultaneous release on the Xbox 360, PC, and nearly the PS3 as well, cost Epic resources.It is my belief that in doing so, the development quality of Unreal Tournament 3 has suffered."

Oh, really? A simultaneous release on PC,360 and nearly PS3? Really? HAHAHAHA!!
I'll leave the reviews of this game to the pros, who incidentally rate the game high-and forgo this bogus review as blatant attempt by a jea...

but I want to wait until all the new PS3 FPS's are out so I can get the best one first. I already have decided that Timeshift is off that list for me. Until then, I will play UT2004 on my PC and RFOM on my PS3 when I need an FPS fix.

PS-I really think Haze is going to surprise the hell out of everyone for its awesomeness, and could be the best FPS on PS3, unless KZ2 comes around and is able to dethrone it. We'll see.

...because by the time it gets to 360, it will be PS3's sloppy seconds, just like the girl next door-and it will have already done its job for the PS3. Plus, UT3 was built ground up for PS3- so it is unlikely that the 360 version will be an overall better product.

I agree with your evaluation of Bloodmask. Not because of his alignment of console choice, but because of his constant inaccurate iteration of the "facts." Just last week he substantiated my last sentence by stating that the 360 GPU is "significantly" more powerful than the RSX for PS3. This ignorance was stated in light of the knowledge that the Xenos GPU (X1800XT 256)and the RSX (7800GTX 256)are only four video cards apart from each other in terms of benchmarked capabili...

Well, with the news of the Cell/RSX shrinking down to 65nm, Sony might very well offer those production cost savings to PS3 consumers in the form of a hardware discount. There is little doubt MS will retaliate with a price cut of their own if they begin to see the trends they don't want to see, so the ability for Sony to take a price cut without affecting the bank is a nice trump card for them to hold on to.

Too bad you used up all your bubbles talking smack about the pipe dreams you have for the 360, but the games you mention are niche titles that, you guessed it-will be swept up by western markets, and completely ignored everywhere else. And even speaking of western markets, if Halo 3 cannot win over Europe from PS3 right now, what makes you think these titles will when PS3 unleashes its own killer games over there? Gimme a break. Also, you want to use a VGcharts hyperlink to prove your point? ...

Where did you get your education, from the back of a Death Row Records CD? If you have nothing to contribute but "ghettoesque prose" then you are on the wrong site.

This should be no surprise to anyone. It is respectable that Sony is keeping quiet (they are probably waiting for the figures after the holidays to make an announcement). We should all keep in mind that while PS3 sales are on the rise, this does not mean it has automatically beat out 360. PS3 is fighting for North America, largely more the US than Canada (it already has 360 beat everywhere else in the world). As long as it can maintain a slight lead over 360 as a new common trend throughout m...

Is this picture legit? Is it a photoshop ploy? Possibly or possibly not. Either way, who cares. What would these people be doing if they didn't have this job? Spare me the humanitarian, melodramatic, BS. I'm sure that the conditions they work in are comparable to the Chinese who make the 360...and if the quality of the product the Chinese Sony workers make is any indication of their conditions or happiness one can tell- construe this by the fact that it is not PS3 with the 33% defective retai...

PS3 is already outselling 360 in Europe and Japan-all it has to do is take North America. The '08 line up will solidify its eventual takeover of the 360. While 360 has the larger install base- even if monthly sales of 360 are horrid, 360 will maintain the lead-but as long as PS3's sales are slightly higher, it will be gaining momentum exponentially, which should come to fruition when it overtakes 360 within two years. While, at that time-maybe Q4 '09-PS3 will still be a young three years old,...

EA only "makes" some of the games you mentioned. It publishes the others. Also..EA DOES suck. They suck because have forgotten what it means to give quality to those who BUY their products (a number of titles), and remain soley focused on profit. They hog up licenses and ruin superior franchises, kill consoles that they feel are not profitable enough for them (DC <a miracle they stayed with GC>), release underdeveloped games, and hire largely inept developers whose familiarity...

stood in a long line for one 12am on 9/9/99. But, it was not Sony that destroyed DC. It was Sega who destroyed themselves. The advertising and sales dollars for the machine went so underspent, that by the time Stolar left and Peter Moore took over...he had inherited a failure. Sony did what any company would have done, they competed...and won. If Sega wasn't strong (or smart) enough to stay in the race-THEN DEATH TO THE WEAK! Sega made us suffer the loss of one of the best consoles ever made-...

I mean really...who frikkin' cares about Orange Box? With all due respect to the venerable franchise (and with none at all to the fat pig Newell), PS3 Players have many choices of FPS games to choose...and guess what..they are all better than the aging Counterstrike game in the orange box. If UT3, Haze, COD4, and Killzone were laid out on a table next to Orange Box....which one would you pick? 98% of PS3 gamers would pick something other than Orange Box (even if it ran at 60fps). Fact is, the...

Hell, I've been through three myself(sold the third one, unopened, to get some money back from being ripped off). I agree with what you said, though, I doubt many people will understand the serious truth and absoluteness of the fact that this is an "epidemic." And while it may seem like "non-news<this article>, " I am glad that people (consumers) are not willing to let the audacious MS forget the the defective nature of their console. Every instance, every story, nee...

Funny. If everything was working it would be no problem to get another case mod and build a new 360. I could do it in 10 minutes. LMAO. Now if he gets RROD, it won't be a big deal because he got his money back first.

Its possible. I've always believed that the Wii was a niche console, and as such was more of a fad. I would rather support my Gamecube (which is maintaining that it has better games with every crap Wii release.

The funny thing here, too, on a side note- is that Ace Combat 6 has fallen of the map completely LMAO- poor 360.
