If Microsoft can't get the two most basic elements of online play right they will always have a joke online service that is no match for PSN:
* Dedicated servers for all major online games for lagfree connections and huge player counts
* Free online so every single person can play games without having to hassle with idiotic extra fees
Sony is showing Microsoft how to do online gaming right. Why isn't Microsoft learning from Sony?
Excellent info. Thanks.
Incredible to think we might be able to never have to see fake sales numbers ever again on this site.
Played this on many years ago my Atari 8bit. Such an amazing game. Unbelievably hard.
Can't wait to see what they've done with the update. People have been saying this new version is awesome.
How much of the stuff you got do you get to keep once your PS+ runs out?
"starting to lose in europe"
What? The 360 has been in last place in Europe for two years.
The Media Create numbers are correct, but the European numbers are just copies of the fake vgchartz numbers.
LOL! PEDROBEAR
That was awesome.
Reminds me of the all time biggest Xbox fanboy blogger self owange from 2000:

"wow its just the 4th year 6 more to go"
Six more at least. Most likely seven or eight more for the PS3.
The PS2 is in its tenth year and is almost outselling the Xbox 360 in 2010. The PS3 is in an even stronger position to last longer than the PS2.
42+ million consoles sold over the first four years. Only three and a half years in Europe. And it is the third fastest selling console in history. Only the PS2 and Wii have sold at a fa...
What else does the Xbox fanboy who wrote this crap have to hype for the Xbox 360?
Another Gears of War coming out a year from now?
No, the Xbox fanboy who wrote this article is using the word 'innovation' correctly:
Innovation
noun:
1. To rip off 10 year old tech from a competitor by buying similar tech from a company everyone else in the industry passed on because it sucked so hard.
"and therefore neither the ps3 or the 360, or even the Wii are going to do ps2 numbers."
Boggle.
You actually don't realize the PS3 is on track to sell PS2 lifetime sales numbers...
"I dont see whats wrong with my comment, the PS2 sales peaked in its 4th year and then slowly decreased, it's generally the same for every console, just usually with smaller numbers. "
Oh god...
Talk about silly fanboyism. To go on to sell 110 million more consoles after its 4the as having 'peaked'. Just LOL...
The PS2 sold more consoles after it 'peaked' than Microsoft has in their entire 8 years in the console ...
6th? Huh?
This gen is only 4 years old. And in Europe the PS3 has only been out for 3.5 years.
The PS2 sold more than 110 million consoles after its 4th year on the market. The PS3 will do the same when it drops to 200 dollars and another six to seven years of sales.
Congrats. Looks awesome.
Standard edition for me from Amazon next Wednesday.
"You need lots software to have an attach rate. "
Exactly.
Sony some 20 or so first party studios.
Microsoft only has 3.
Sony has developer support from Japan,US,and Europe.
Microsoft is pretty much entirely reliant on the US.
Not surprising the PS3 is selling more software and has a higher attach rate.
Perfect thing to buy to play while waiting for GT5 in a week.
Gorgeous cellshading
Tight platforming controls
Feels like playing a Saturday Morning Cartoon
Three sets of complete Tropies with a Plat each
Move minigames with their own Trophies
So much fun.
Incredible. An absolute monster of a franchise.
No surprise the Sony haters out there are running around screaming in panic like a nuclear bomb is just about to drop on them.
Fail.
Sony started work on the Move ten years ago.
Sony's PS3 2010:
Killzone 2 - doh,2009
White Knight Chronicles
Yakuza 3
ModNation Racers
MAG
Heavy Rain
3D Dot Game Heroes
God of War 3
Troll harder.
Edit:
If you're going to troll PS3 stories at least put some effort into your posts. Make them funny or at least interesting. Pretending to be the disenchanted fan of the system who isn't impressed with anything...
5 million copies of the GT5 demo sold.
Gran Turismo 10.85 million copies sold
Gran Turismo 2 9.37 million copies sold
Gran Turismo 3 14.89 million copies sold
Gran Turismo 4 11.06 million copies sold
Gran Turismo PSP 2.96 million copies sold
Without a doubt.
"I still scratch my head as to why people are questioning PS3`s capability of selling"
Sony is saying the PS3 is on track to sell 15 million console for the current fiscal year. And this is with the PS3 still being 300 dollars - the launch price of the PS2.
The third fastest selling console in history while being the most expensive console in history. Double the price of the PS2 at launch.
The PS3 is easily going to hit 130,140, or ...
