@1.4 - I usually think of them first as one of the companies that handed out massive bonuses after taking TARP funds. I know they're one of the only entities in the whole mortgage crisis to make it out relatively unscathed (and actually profit off of it), and I know they paid back the TARP funds last year, but it's still funny to me.
On the whole, I think this is a misstep. Not that Microsoft will see large profits, but that they're hedging it on Natal. I think a lot of uninfo...
It came out a year later and was declared a locked down 360 exclusive during most of that year before it came. No surprise the numbers are very one-sided.
Hah, estimates from Goldman Sachs. Now there's a name I see in the news often.
I should really get into more WRPG's. I've been playing JRPG's since the SNES, but the first WRPG I ever played to completion was Fallout 3, and I was surprised by how much I loved it. Dabbled around in Mass Effect a bit, but it didn't grab me by the sack the way Fallout 3 did.
The difference between multiplats is usually very exaggerated, particularly by fangirls. There are only a handful with significant differences. Bayonetta and The Orange Box probably being the worst offenders. Even Ghostbusters was totally blown outta proportion. Played it to the end on PS3, and I never even noticed half the things people were crying about in comparisons.
Dunno why mastiffchild got so many disagrees, he's absolutely right. It had nothing to do with LA Noire. LA Noire isn't even developed by Rockstar, just published by them. Agent's exclusivity came about when Sony allowed GTAIV to go multiplat, since they apparently had it locked down in the first place. It's all tied to GTAIV.
I'm not one to play sales, particularly because some of my all-time favorites were sales flops of biblical proportions, but yeah, it is pretty funny that Bayonetta is selling better on the console with the crap port. Reinforces the old notion that the only games that sell like wildfire on the 360 are shooters.
It's always HipHopGamer.
If by "new", they mean "old", yes.
Some of these Hades shots are several months old.
I think MAG is the perfect game to bundle with consoles, and also the perfect game to get Warhawk's pricing ($60 w/headset, $40 download). Unfortunately, Sony disagrees, and the game will likely be passed up by many.
They're not marketing it at all. I haven't seen a single commercial. Seen tons for Mass Effect 2, Army of Two: 40th Day, and Bayonetta, but not a single one for MAG.

People have been saying PC gaming is dead for many, many years. The only thing in the industry declared dead longer than the PS3.
Amazes me that there are actually people at this site dumb enough to defend and track that fool as a reliable insider news source. It's like people who believe in psychics. Forget the 9 things he got wrong, just remember the 1 he got right.
I prefer the way Penny Arcade put it in one of their comics.
"Every other game is the joke. God of War is the punchline."
Great, I'll mark it down on the calendar I buy in 2 years, thanks for the heads up.

I used to think that about the PS2 phat back when mine broke. It stopped reading discs exactly one year to the day after purchase, and at least 20 other people I knew with original PS2's had theirs end up the same way, all around the one year mark.
That was one of the reasons why I waited 2 years to get a PS3, which also broke 3 days shy of the one year mark due to YLOD.
/tin foil hat
2 80gig PS3 YLOD's, and 1 PS2 phat DRE here.
Never owned a 360 or Wii, but I've owned almost everything since the NES, and none of them broke except the ones listed above.
Marvel vs. Capcom Natal: Epic Muscle Cramp Edition.
Pretty high from GameTrailers. GRAW and Halo 3 are the only ones I can think of that got higher than 9.7 from GT. Dunno if any others tied a 9.7.
