the Xbox division IS profitable, in fact it is VERY profitable, and they even make money off each console sold. The profits from XBL gold subscriptions alone will wipe out those losses you are so excited to point out.
this proves its not all about the money with MS I guess.
RROD is a thing of the past by the way, the new 360s are RROD free.
this game really looks good, even better than Killzone 2, I just hope they fix the things we all hated in the first LP.
Multiplayer would be awesome if they just fix the quarks.
nothing else needs to be said
Well isn't it obvious, your mommy and daddy purchased the console for you, now its up to you to shut up and buy some games.
Good to see you too Crab, bubbles up. ;)
it seems like gaming is recession proof!
I did expect Killzone 2 to sell more than 323000 in the first 24 hours with all the hype surrounding it. You PS3 fans are still not putting your money where you very big mouths are, stop spending so much time on the internet defending Sony, and go out and get jobs so you can buy games to support PS3.
Im a 360 fanboy, we don't worship Microsoft, if this news was about M$ doing the same I would not comment on it at all, that is the difference between me and you freaks. You all seem to think Sony can do no wrong.
I think MS was wrong to layoff the people they did layoff, they are in absolutly NO financial trouble, they layed those people off because PROFITS were projected to SHRINK due to the economy, not go away but shrink, which means they are still making a huge profit, just...
WTF does this have to do with M$? I don't care what M$ does or did to their employees?
Besides your just proving my point, this laying off and freezing wages is standard corporate procedure, so why are you guys praising Sony as if they did something revolutionary?
why is everyone saying good for Sony and commending them as if they have done some good deed? This is standard business practice, layoff as many people as you can afford to and still be able to operate, cut wages of the remaining staff.
You people act like they just donated a years profit to starving kids in Africa.
What is wrong with you people? have you all gone mad? If this was MS you would be calling them greedy bastards, you guys do know you all sound like nut jobs ri...
is yet another PS3 sympathizing, excuse making, marketing arm of Sony Corp.
All they do is make excuses for PS3 when the PS3 version of games turn out looking worse than 360 versions.
That Killzone 2 vs Gears piece was a joke, every positive they pointed out looked superior on Gears, yet they pretended KZ2 was some how the better game in that comparison.
What a joke of a site, probably financed in large part by Sony.
no way do they listen to fans. Both the Japanese companies are known for catering to the Japanese fanbase and the rest of us just better like what comes of it.
Sony does not listen, it only seems like they do because MS listens to its fans, and Sony copies what MS does.
If Sony listened to fans they would have had rumble in the launch PS3, all PS3s would still be BC, I won't even get into all the things that would be different about the PSN.
Sony does...
Come on man, not only is that an insult to all of our collective intelligence, but it is an insult to all the other developers out there working hard to bring us great new games, what makes this game so superior to a game like Braid?
You clearly are just a huge fanboy spouting crap to support your system of choice. I seriously doubt you have the qualifications to declare this game superior to EVERY downloadable game on the other two consoles, like you have any clue what is availa...
Anyone who thinks this PSN game cannot be done to the same level on 360 is really naive and gullible.
Most games run better on 360, ESPECIALLY low budget cheap games like this one, PS3 can't even handle Unreal as well as 360.
a lot of good reviews, I had to pick it up and see for myself.
LOVE IT, the game deserves a 9.5
Not because of what it is not but because of what it is.
dont think Ive ever heard of operation darkness, they should have marketed it more.
that is a matter of opinion, I personally would much rather play a Halo RTS than yet another generic FPS with good graphics.
I think the reason its doing well is because it pretty much nails the Halo universe perfectly. The epic music, the atmosphere, the sounds of the weapons and vehicles. Plus the game is the first RTS I could really enjoy on a console, the controls are brilliant.
It also got pretty good reviews, with the exception of Gamespots 6.5 most other scores were at least 8.0, lots of 9s as well.
Halowars beats Killzone in Australia too? So much for Killzone 2 being a halo killier, it can't even beat the RTS version of Halo.
pretty big accomplishment out selling Killzone, and Halowars didn't get half as much hype and free advertisement from the press as Killzone did.
they acknowledge the RROD, when my PS2s broke Sony would not even admit there was a problem, let alone fix it for free and give me something for my trouble.
