You can't expect an abrupt rise in sales the moment the first ad airs.
KB ads aired not long before the price cut.

Ads + price cut = more sales.
Whether KB helped a lot or only a little, could be debatable. But the PS3's name is now out there more often and it works.

But Microsoft already got Justing Bieber for the Kinect.

True.
If Sony doesn't start a marketing campaign with "Only On PlayStation" everyone else is going to think "exclusive" means "Only For a Few Months" thanks to 360.

While Guitar Hero/Rock Band is basically a direct rip of GuitarFreaks, Drummania and Karaoke Rev/SingStar...
Gears of War is also a rip of RE4's perspective, WinBack and KillSwith. Even in design, it's like UT.

Then again, I guess no game is completely original.

And what about Metroid? I believe that game provided more than a couple of things to gaming. And Super Metroid perfected the formula.

It has nothing to do with how many friends you have.
"Having no friends" is just a terrible argument.

I have played on Xbox. Never used it.
I tried it before, and having someone talk to me about other stuff felt interrupting to my gameplay. Chatting with someone is works best when you're playing the same game.
I don't miss it.

Why disagree with my previous post?
They should turn the "disagree" button to "dislike".

[edit] Ok so maybe the part about "having a hard time porting to PS3" was opinion. But I just think he's trying to save-face in advance. Just a theory.

PS3's GPU is more than 3 times faster and more efficient than 360s.

What the 360 desperately needs, is more original games and games that look better than PS3 exclusives.
The end result is what matters :)

- Except for an even better web browser. That'd be cool.

- Several games already have optional install.

- You can already access Facebook through the PS3's web browser: m.facebook.com
Plus it has Trophy and PS Store integration.

- "Cross Game Chat" is already possible. Cross game VOICE chat is another thing. Also not a necessity whatsoever.

But I'm sure these will be made out to be more than the...

Being a PC guy, I'm pretty sure he would prefer the 360 over PS3, since their structures are pretty much the same.

I bet he's complaining because they're having a hard time porting to the PS3.

Well Carmack, that's what happens when you develop for PC/360 and try to port to PS3.
You wouldn't have had much of a problem if PS3 was the lead platform.
But we can't expect that from a PC/360 guy, can we.

Oh w...

They could donate more money INSTEAD of marketing(like always).

Considering North Korea has real WMDs, I can't help but keep feeling like we're wasting time in this oil-war.

I mean the rate in which they sell. Not total.
It's basic math dude.

When the PS3 launched. It started from 0.
By that time the 360 already had about 8 million units sold(since it released a year earlier).

The fact of that 8 million being reduced down to 1/8th of what it was should tell you something:
PS3s sell faster.

If they sold equally. Then that 8 mil gap would stay right where it is.
If 360 sold mo...

Why? Did they mess up the ending? LOL

They should call "Classic Mode" "Normal Mode".

I suppose you believe the first car out in Rally is the winner?

Besides, if what you say is true, then the Xbox 360 would be ahead of the PS3 by more than 8 million. But it's not. It's barely up by a couple mil. Which means the PS3 sells more a year; faster.

Just watched the gameplay and it doesn't seem to play like the SOCOM we know.

Mindless run and gun? Respawn? Noob-ness?
It's almost like COD in third-person view, not SOCOM.

PS. Graphics look good.
