Preceptive analogy. Yep, Dreamcast tried the same crap, coming out one year before PS2. Like Dreamcast, 360 holds its own for a little while until the titles come in and prices go down in hardware...then its over. I remember when PS2's became easier to obtain off the shelf, I also remember that this availability coupled with the debut of GTA III killed the DC. Only thing is, I liked DC...it didn't give you 3 red lights. But your right, this PS3/360 thing sounds terribly like PS2/DC. Personall...
First off, @ scarfy- you work in the game's industry? Where? At Gamestop making $9.00 per hour? Your ignorance astounds me as you trash talk about the "demise" of the PS3, even though the numbers indicate that its trouncing the 360 in Europe and Japan. Man, I don't know what I'd physically do to a chump, if I heard them blatantly, blindly, and foolishly talking such drivel....
But that's most of you...
Face it suckers, PS3 has a new face in the market p...
Until they make up for the 1.5 billion (which is actually a modest figure)that thier game division has drowned in since 2001, being in a slump is not a "thing of the past." They have only profited this single fiscal quarter-it does not make up for six years of operating in the red. Now that Halo 3 has done its biggest damage, it will continue to be a factor with each succesive quarter (but its impact will show decline each time)until it critical masses. By that time I am curious to ...
I saw this review before coming to N4G tonight. Needless to say, I posted an expressively pee'd off comment for all of them. Its funny, IGN gave the game a 9.4, and 4 other sites, and a bunch of magazines gave the game nothing lower than a 9. I think this process of elimination finds the "new official microsoft 360 website" , AKA-Gamespot.Gamespot sucks.
I'll believe it when I see it.
I posted a comment with the same info a couple weeks ago. Glad to see it in an article where people cannot click "disagree" in blatant, biased ignorance.
I don't feel cheated. I have the 60GB, and I think its the best model.
I'm glad that you love your 360, even though it is taking its first of many visits to the repair shop. It is interesting to hear how you downplay each of the technological features that PS3 has to offer over 360. You don't like Bluetooth? Fine, then stick to your interference prone, radio signal. Don't like Wi fi? Awesome. But, that does not delineate the fact that Sony offers it for free. Sure, Live is a better service all around, but if you ever play a lag free session of Warhawk on PSN, yo...
"Sony put blu ray drives into ps3. I dont understand why as their is no real benefit in this for games. The blu ray in ps3 is there purley to watch movies and nothing else."
It is this uneducated comment that diminished your post for me to the "caca" pile of forum posts. Maybe you are thinking about the way HD-DVD works with 360? There are already a number of GAMES that utilize the Blu Ray medium on the PS3.
One more thing to EVERYONE...I want to ...
Valiant attempt at competing MS, but THIS IS NO VALUE. Viva Pinata? LMAO!!! Forza 2? ok Forza 2 is better than Viva, but PGR4 would have been a better choice or including Halo 3 would have earned my respect (that would be REAL competeion)
Still, I am relieved that the PS3 package is still 10x better...

LMFAO!!!!! I can understand doing this with constant red rings (I wanted to do this many times, but didn't have the ballz), but over a game???!!!LMAO!!!!
Apart from noticing the sheer stupidity some ppl say in their post regarding this topic, those who actually read the article would take note that they are referring to the ps2 chipset to be missing only, like the 80 GB. The firmware for the 40GB will probably not allow the system to emulate PS2 games either, but if there is demand for it noticed by Sony, backwards compatibility can easily be emulated through firmware updates in the future. Now, I wish to be amused by what some jackass will sa...
I'm sorry, I was in error in my original post- it wasn't EGM who gave folklore a 9.0, it was IGN. Still, they are more reputable than gamedaily.
look at my post. #19.
I just got the latest EGM, and though the only reason I get the mag (I don't like EGM) is because its free with my MVP card, I got to give credit to those Xbots for giving Folklore a 9.0. The review based on this article is most likely biased, and unjustified- and most importantly, from an unreputable source. This will become apparent soon when all the real sites give the game high scores.
read entry 2.5 &10.2.
If we are talking in terms of pricing as a key component of a business strategy, then most 360 supporters will retort with MS dropping the price on their own system, as well. Here are a few tid bits as to why to do so is futile. It would be foolish (for MS) to retaliate with a price cut immediately without observing the trend at which the current price structure for the 360 fairs against PS3's new price. That trend? Not good for MS. Especially considering that with the modest price difference...
And we knew it all along! I don't think any of the PS3 supporters are surprised.
Oh, and M4tt, you can read my reply to another naysayer above , if you think its a PS3 winning the race is a dream (like you wrote to someone else. PS-M4tt, if the console with the best games is defined as the best, like you say, does that mean that you are going to be buying a PS3 when all the dev's start making games for the "new" PS3 when its install base goes through the roof? Or are...
Gotta agree with that, I wonder how many of the stubborn, indignant, trash talking, and unread fans of "that other console, " will be making the hypocritical move/change now? LOL.
1 and a half million PS3's (and rising) against 460,000 360's (and declining) in Japan indicates the real message about the state of the 360 in Japan, not how a Japanese 360 game fares. 360 is spit on in Japan, and everyone knows this.
