The joker content might be exclusive, but that doesn't mean it's not FREE. Keep in mind, Microsoft will never allow anything that is FREE on the PS3 to be on the X360 at ALL. Take for example any Unreal T mods. Their principle is to charge for content, allowing free content would be out of the question. Therefore they would rather not allow any content at all.
Sony / Nintendo count units SOLD to consumers. Microsoft counts units SHIPPED to retailers as units sold.
First consider this is N4G and we like stats. Secondly the lead platform between the two units is important. Why? Because the lead platform with the most units gets more development time when it comes to games. You can expect more exclusives, and or games arriving for that platform sooner. I can give a ton more reasons why.. but I won't bother.
And only down by a million units.. When Microsoft stated it sold 13 million units it's first year. Meaning, Sony has not only dominated.. they have caught up with a $600 dollar price tag, and now are about to suppress em.
RROD reports would go straight to Microsoft, NOT SquareTrade.. so their stats would not reflect the survey by GameInformer. It's a nice attempt at trying to refute the problem.. but anyone with half a brain can read between the lines and figure out that this data isn't accurate.
"Excluding RROD failures, which are covered by Microsoft’s three-year warranty,"
So why even bother with a Silver membership? Maybe they should raise the price of Gold.. after all the value of it is going up and up.. as they add more free content and charge for it.
Because, they are forcing you to BUY gold.. to receive FREE content. You don't add "VALUE" to a paid subscription by forcing people to pay for FREE stuff. The logic of your argument is beyond comprehension, why am I not surprised.
Really, what are these people smoking. How is this a "price drop" for the X360, when the core system is already $179? This so called price drop will have very minimal effect on the sales of X360s. A informed consumer will pick the PS3. And a budget consumer will go with the Xbox Arcade.
As long as it feels good on your hands, and plays well I don't care how it looks.
This article is a FAIL.
They could have done a lot better with sales. People just don't realize all the things the PS3 is capable of. If only they had the slogan "It can only do everything," from the start.. Bahh.. better late then never.
He had to pay for XBL.. so he couldn't afford internet service. LOL
Only 24 hours away from a price drop.. that only toke effect TODAY!.. the PS3 has already failed? People please don't give this crap hits.
First off, I don't think anyone is playing PS1 games on the PS3. Secondly, even though I own the 60gb.. I have played only one PS2 game.. SoTC. AND I BOUGHT THE 60gb BECAUSE IT WAS BC. Playing PS2 games on a 60" HDTV doesn't look pretty for some odd reason.
This is not the "hinted" game for GamesCon. Though, a Suda 51 game is HUGE.
Actually it reminds me of Luigi's Mansion.
But, I am sure it's going to have Suda 51 twist to it.
@PirateThom
Yeah, hoping to hear more at TGS.
Though I haven't played his latest game for the Wii, these guys can do a lot with what ever system they are working with. And I want to see what they can do with the Ps3. Anyway, a Suda 51 game on the Ps3 is always welcome. xD
Little more detail:
"The player will be thus plunged in a village obscure which it will have to traverse with a torch to reach a castle and to discover his mysteries. Thanks to the power techniques of PlayStation 3, Suda Goichi intends...
Wouldn't mind a 32+ player Zombi killing fast thought. xD Speaking of which, whatever happened to the Kojima Zombie game?
This list is terrible, most of these things are generic. And every other console has em. Twitter / Facebook can be accessed by both the Wii and the Ps3. Both of them also can stream Media from PC. As for Natel, that is not a PROVEN positive, so it shouldn't be included.
Let's be real here.. the game isn't even in HD. If you really needed an "xbox" game you should have replaced ODST with Mass Effect 2 or some other game.. it's a shame this game is even mentioned in the same list. MLB "The Show" 09 should be listed.. as it's the BEST looking sports game on any console.
