It's also very obvious that Japanese Third-Party game developers LOVE the Xbox 360 more than any other console!
Just look at which console they have the largest number of games in development for--the Xbox 360!
Japanese game developers now support the Xbox 360 more than any other system, then the Wii, and they offer the least amount of support for the Playstation 3.
I just want to make it clear to you that at this point in time, the Xbox 360 has also outsold the Playstation 3 by a ratio of 3:1 in Europe, and all other parts of the world.
The numbers look like this:
Xbox 360
North America: 6,690,000
Japan: 430,000
Everywhere else: 3,331,000
Playstation 3
North America: 1,882,000
Japan: 1,100,000
Everywhere else: 1,230,000
*** Obviously th...
In North America--the largest videogame market in the world--the Xbox 360 has outsold the Playstation 3 by a ratio of 3:1 for each month of 2007.
The only reason why the overall Worldwide Sales figures make it look like the Xbox 360 is outselling the Playstation 3 by a 2:1 ratio is because of the Japanese market, and because the PS3 continued to launch in several new countries, such as Australia.
We need to remember that during the Holiday shopping season of 2006...
It says right on the box that Bioshock is "Only for Xbox 360 and Windows."
In other words, it is a "Microsoft Exclusive" game.
I'm not surprised that Bioshock is doing so well with the reviews.
Bioshock has a chance to literally become the highest rated game in the history of videogames!!!
Bioshock continously is rated with scores of 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5, and all sorts of other PERFECT scores. The lowest the g...
The Playstation 3 has only outsold the Xbox 360 by a ratio of 2:1 in Japan.
What's worse for the Playstation 3 is that the Xbox 360 has sold very poorly in Japan--although better than expected.
The FACT is, Sony's Business Plan fully EXPECTED the Playstation 3 to sell MUCH BETTER in Japan than it is!!!
The FACT is, Microsoft's Business Plan actually expected the Xbox 360 to be doing slightly worse than it is. Microsoft never had high expectations ...

(1) Call of Duty 3 was developed by Treyarch, not Infinity Ward. But all of the things I said in reference to Call of Duty 3 are 100% eligible to be applied to Call of Duty 4. That is the specific reason why I mentioned those references.

There are important FACTS that we need to remember:
(1) These screenshots are NOT taken from the same point of view!
(2) Visit the webpage to see that in the screenshots, the character is definitely standing on a different angle in the screenshots. hxxp://www.cod4forums.com/inde x.php?showtopic=220
(3) The Playstation 3 screenshot looks at the game from a point of view where the building on the left, AND the door on the left can be seen.

The Xbox 360 was noticably better when the Call of Duty 4 game was in motion at the 2007 E3 show.
Thankfully, we don't need to worry about all of the nonsense that was generated over one screenshot that compared an "Old" Xbox 360 part of the game, to a "New" Playstation 3 screenshot.
I just want to mention that everything I talked about in my previous post ended up being proven true. I will repost that here.
FirstknightT,
You are 100% correct with the way that the Xbox 360 sales on VGcharts have been listed at 10,000,000 ALL YEAR!!! Every month of the year the Xbox 360 had sold about 150,000 systems, on average, which should have easily put it over 11,000,000. In fact, there was a time when VGcharts actually did list the Xbox 360 sales at over 11,000,000. But for some reason, it has been STUCK in the same ballpark of 10,000,000 the WHOLE YEAR!!!
There are actually OV...
Bioshock is LITERALLY on track to become the Highest Rated Game of All-Time!!!
And rightfully so!!!
Ever since the 2006 E3, the games that have been winning ALL of the preview Awards were Gears of War, Mass Effect, and Bioshock.
When I first played the demo of Bioshock, I was absolutely AMAZED!!!
The gameplay, graphics, and atmosphere of the game are PERFECT in the way that they work together to create a FUN and IMPRESSIVE experience...
On the one hand, this developer says Sony offers developers more freedom...but on the other hand, he points out the Playstation 3 is at a disadvantage, because the standards for quality are not as strict as the Xbox Live service that Microsoft uses for the Xbox 360.
Considering that the Xbox 360 has infinitely greater online service, I think I know which system I am going to get Haze for--the Xbox 360.
But in all honesty, I only have so much money. I will be buyi...
I really LOVE these kinds of games!
Beuatiful Katamari is one of the games that was originally announced for the Playstation 3, and it really got my attention. But then, it was also announced for the Xbox 360...and then, it was completely cancelled for the Playstation 3 (sadly, the same thing happened with Fatal Inertia and a couple others).
So, now, Beautiful Katamari is only on the Xbox 360, so that is the system I am fired up to be playing it on!!! I am REALLY...
It has now been 100% confirmed that the "Lambo Leap," glitch also appears in the Playstation 3 version of the game.
People are saying that EA will release a download that fixes that problem for the Xbox 360. No announcement has been made about a soluton for the PS3 version of the game.
The author of this youtube video is not saying that he is upset with the Xbox 360. The author of this youtube video is CLEARLY saying that his is primarily angry with EA,...
Xbox 360 versions of Madden 2008, NCAA Football 2008, and All-Pro 2K8 are OBVIOUSLY the BEST versions of Football we have EVER seen!
Madden 2008 displays a similar number of polygons per frame on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 (although obviously higher on Xbox 360), and Xbox 360 displays twice as many frames each second: 60fps vs 30fps. Therefore, Xbox 360 has TWICE the visual smoothness and TWICE the gameplay responsiveness.
Polygon Power is the reason why Xbox 36...
In the Playstation 3 version of Madden 2008, when you snap the ball to the Quarterback, the framerate stutters SO BADLY that you LITERALLY have to wait over one-half of a second before the ball gets to your Quarterback!!!
The Xbox 360 version plays GREAT, because it has a silk smooth framerate that constantly runs at 60 frames per second.
It's like the reviews say, "The Xbox 360 version runs at a smooth 60 frames per second at 1080p resolution," while t...

The Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed will be officially announced at the Microsoft X06 Trade Show. This will make perfect sense, because the first time anyone ever saw this game was at the Microsoft X05 Trade Show, using the name Project Assassins.
Everyone on the planet knew that Assassins Creed would be released for the Xbox 360, PC, and Playstation 3, but Sony just paid for the exclusive announcement rights for a certain length of time. It wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft h...
As far as HD-DVD goes, Sony could easily choose to use VC-1 Compression Technology if they wanted to...but the point is that they do NOT choose to! EVERY Blu-ray released up to this point in time--and every Blu-ray scheduled to be released--uses the ten-year old MPEG-2 Compression Technology used in standard DVD discs. HD-DVD uses the newest Compression Technology of all, which is called VC-1; it was invented by Microsoft and Intel. The reason Sony chooses not to use VC-1 is because they do n...
The Xbox 360 is still meeting all of the Sales Objectives of Microsoft's Japanese business plan.
Microsoft knew from the beginning that it was going to be difficult to sell a product in Japan, for all of the reasons you mention.
But Microsoft has made it 100% clear that the success of games like Dead or Alive 4, and Blue Dragon have made it so the Xbox 360 has actually sold better than expected in Japan.
The Playstation 3 is the system that has fal...
