Since when did pre-orders mean anything? You do know the only advantage of pre-ordering is free content right?? Retailers are so saturated with copies of big releases anymore that pre-ordering does nothing.. Gt5 will sell really well regardless.. Of course all you have to do is play sales instead of games...
Ok fanboy...
Can anyone say fugly? Now we know why the 3do and hd-dvd failed.. Panasonic should just stick to tvs and dvd players.....
Its funny how the only person to bring up the "halo killer" moniker is a member of the 1 bubble club.. I could care less how kz3 stacks up to halo.. I've never enjoyed halo so I dont even regard it in my evaluation of the killzone franchise.. Killzon3 looks to raise the bar yet again and I know that I'm going to lose a couple of months of my life into that game and thats all that matters to me.. You can keep halo 1-100...
If one takes inventory of all the failed ventures and costly mistakes that microsoft has made its really not surprising that they are facing these financial woes... They will forever be mocked for the kin phone that they officially canceled mere weeks after its unveiling... Then you have the rrod fiasco which they vehiamently denied for a couple of years before finally admitting fault.. A 1 billion dollar band aid is hard for anyone to swallow, let alone microsoft.. But of course the corporat...
ITS A MONTH AWAY.. Of course the games coming out this month are going to dominate... WOw you people just cant put your bias aside long enough to use common sense...
GT5 prologue was much more then a demo I can assure you that.. Several tracks and like 16 cars.. But of course for the sake of your agenda you wont believe otherwise.. Please stop embarassing yourself...
Its funny because nowadays these game companies saturate the market so heavily with copies that pre-ordering is useless.. I only pre-order for the bonuses that they hand out or on specific versions that you can only get through pre-order... On top of all of this gt5 is still a month away.. OHH NOEZ TEH SONYZ IZ DOOMZZZ! lol this game will easily sell 5 mill..
NO yoshi in fact the uproar was because this move was a huge backhand to the forza faithful and when the community actually spoke up about it hundreds of messages on the forza forums were deleted and not replied to.. Microsoft was hoping this wouldnt get out of hand but the public played their hand.. Now microsoft has to release this as dlc otherwise risk losing alot of customers..
Look we know that you love to convince yourself that you live in a world of rainbows and butterflies but in the business world there are things that happen that we would be horrified to find out about.. So to think that money is exchanged hands to sell the competition short is not only believable but I gurantee you it happens... It just like how microsoft bought up all of that exclusive dlc.. THey know that advertising is a powerful tool and to create this perception that the 360 gets all of...
I like how you mention all of the things that make them money while totally neglecting the large bleeding wounds they have... RROD? DEv costs of both the original xbox and the 360, the failure also known as kin? Yea their entertainment division is hurting badly... You pretty much sum up the core of their userbase, blissfully unaware...
How much money did they lose on the original xbox to only dump even more into the dev of the 360 and then have to hand out a 1billion dollar band aid?? People like to think they are making money hand over fist from live gold memberships but to be honest I dont think they've ever gone into the black after all of that...
Sony had the development of the ps3 paid for off of sales of the ps2, you know the best selling console of all time? Lol Sony's game division is much healthier then microsofts.. Not to mention they didnt have to cover a huge repair bill for faulty consoles.. Making assumptions really does make you look like an ass... move along troll.
Microsoft reports profits on the sales of the console but what about the 1billion dollar band aid for the rrod? They've never explained how they covered that... I think microsoft is to ashamed to admit that between advertising, buying up dlc, rrod, and the investement that kinect and the 360s required that they are hemoraging money out at alarming rates..
Do you honestly have yourself convinced that this is to "Ride the wave"? You know darn well this all was orchestrated to try an pull the rug out from under sony and gt5...
Its obvious this whole thing was orchestrated by microsoft to try and slow gt5... Adding top gear and launching a week before gt5? Cowards man, they run their mouths all year about being the definitive racer this and definitive racer that but now that polyphony took the cover off their massive game microsoft gets scared.. LOl they are afraid of that huge slice of crow pie they are gonna have to swallow.. SO they pull this stunt that is backfiring big time.. Wow cant say i'm surprised tho...
You should.. Very good game in every aspect...
You also said the only competition to nintendo.. As well you dont consider the ps1,ps2,or ps3 as innovative???
Why wasnt this article tagged and reported as old?? There was an article like two weeks ago showing this exact same thing... Ughh the mods on this site man.. If its anything that puts sony or the ps3 in a negative light it goes straight to the front page..
If only negative bubbles were possible.. Hmm this place would be nicer...
