I agree. With a score like 8.0....its not turning out to be the Game I was hoping for. But with the 360 version coming out a few months behind the Ps3 version (though it wouldn't surprise me if that changed) It gives Epic time to tweak and improve the 360 version. Good news for 360 owners because I was really hoping for another AAA game from Epic for my 360. Gears of War was perfection. But as it turns out Unreal doesn't even stand up graphically to Call of Duty 4. Interesting Indeed.
Do you also believe the Ps3 is Dead in North America?
Just a question....LOL
Its clear my friend. I could care less about the youtube video comparissons and the screen shot comparissons....Me and my friends actually sat down and compared in FULL HD with my Elite vs my Ps3. Though I do believe the Ps3 version looks good don't get me wrong...but the 360 version is clearly better in regards to the detail, hdr ligting, shadowing, ect....
I challenge you to rent the 360 version and do the comparisson yourself...if at the end of the comparisson you think ...
Think about it. Mark Rein Can't say...."Well, the ps3 version of UT3 lags behind the year old Gears of War for the xbox 360." LOL....
That would kill off any prospective buyers on a gaming platform that already struggles in the "Games Sold" area. LOL
There are actually some wierdos out there who believe that Motorstorm is a game that looks better than any game ever made....LOL...
So if you throw the same wierdos a bone and sa...
Because there is no way blu ray can win in the end over HD dvd.
I realize there are 5 million ps3 owners. I realize that 10% of ps3 owners may buy blu ray movies....
But I also realize that their are over 500k stand alone HD dvd users compared to less than 100k blu ray stand alone owners...
I also realize that blu ray movie sales are more than HD dvd right now....But I also realize that total HD dvd sales compared to total Blu ray sales is withi...
The format war is in its infancy.....
The Ps3 can sell 40 million consoles and still not be a factor in the formta war.
For a format to be fully adopted it has to sell hundreds of millions players.
Sure Blu ray is winning in regards to movie sales right now.
But right now don't matter in the long run. HD dvd will not throw in the towel on this one. HD dvd has 500k actual HD dvd movie supporters.
Blu ray has an unknow...
You do realize that there is a world outside of video games right? LOL
While the most successful Console (ps2) sold over 100 million......
Dvd players are sold to date in the billions worldwide.
You see....in order for a format to become the standard.....
"Everyone" and their grandma from here to timbucktoo has to own it.
That my friends is why HD DVD will win the format war....
The world does...
Its Great News for Consumers none the less.
One thing I don't think Sony Supporters understand is this....
A. 1080p Tv's won't be a standard for at least another 7 years from now. When will 1080p tv's cost 200 to 400 dollars? This is why standard dvd's outsell HD/blu ray movie discs by outrageous numbers...think about it.
B. For 100 to 200 dollars you can buy an HD Player with resolutions of 720p and 1080i. It just so happens that 720p Tv's ca...
Did Spiderman fall short to Transformers in the HD sales....it also fell short in the standard dvd sales. They spammed it and lamed it saying its not gaming news....But this story is right? LOL....This site has become Sad on so many levels.

WOW....And whats crazy is its not just EA....This is the same as with all other 3rd party developers....50% of their income comes from the xbox 360 market. If you think about that fact......It gives you an idea of how successful the 360 is and it really shows that the xbox 360 is the "Gamers" platform this generation. Last Generation Microsoft came from No Where and came in a solid second surpassing Nintendo. More importantly they laid a foundation for their software sales dominat...
You took the words right out of my mouth buddy. Not only is it not selling like Sony Hoped it would....The average reviews have it now in the High 8's. Another Almost but not quite the AAA Blockbuster they claimed it would be.
I honestly thought that the 400 dollar Ps3 and Ratchet would be Sony's best shot at making some sort of move.
Interesting Indeed....WOW
Do you really want me to put up the pictures again DJ...I don't know why you act like you don't believe me. You are on my PSN friendslist and you have seen my set up. I have every single xbox 360 game released with many of the games having 4 to 6 copies....I own 1 Elite and 5 premiums. I own the Ps3 and just about every game. I have taken back the 3rd party games in exchange for more 360 games and or HD movies/Blu ray movies. I own hundreds of HD dvd's and Blu ray movies.....
<...
The majority of blu ray players sold are in a video game console? LOL....
Think about it.....
Blu ray stand alones are not selling.....the HD dvd add on for the xbox 360 has sold much much more than Blu ray stand alones.....
You see folks....This is what you don't take into consideration.....
Even if the Ps3 sold 100 million consoles.....(which I can't see it even coming close)......
Standalone DVD players are in the ...
They made it clear that if and when consumers wanted HDMI they could impliment an option....Same with the 1080p issue. When the xbox 360 launched....1080p wasn't in ONE persons home in regards to native 1080p tv's. No one knew how the 1080p market would progress....When MS saw that some consumers were buying native 1080p tv's in early 2006....they added 1080p with the Fall update....
MS watched consumer spending and needs and they adpated the 360 accordingly....
Secondly these sales figures for Europe include the 40 gig being on sale in Europe. The spike in Console sales for the 360 was Last month when Halo 3 launched worldwide....
40 to 50 k a week worldwide adds up to 200k a month worldwide. How can Sony catch up when they have dropped the price to 399 and they are still getting outsold by the xbox 360 by 200k a month? Think about it......Thats a heck of a lot of consoles folks.....So the 8 million lead that MS has is still growin...
I don't think you understand that the xbox 360 has outsold the Ps3 by large margins since the ps3 launched a year ago.....Without the Halo effect. LOL..... The ps3 has never outsold the xbox 360 in a month (US). Halo 3 just took it from 2 to 1 sales difference to 5 to 1 sales difference. Once the Halo effect is over which won't be till well after Christmas....it most like will go back to 2 to 1 diffrence in the US. But the wildcard is the 399 ps3. I'm curious how well it will sell and i...
If the P3 doesn't sell more than the xbox 360 for November worldwide....I will be shocked....
How can the Ps3 ever catch up being 8 million consoles behind the xbox 360 when the xbox 360 according to VG charts is outselling the Ps3 worldwide by 50k for a week in October. October is when the 399 ps3 went on sale in Europe too. Interesting indeed. (keep in mind the history of VG charts typically underestimates 360 sales and over estimates Ps3 sales when compared to NPD and othe...
Sold to retail is the same as sold to consumers....And both MS and Nintendo in their financial reports can only show numbers Sold to Retail...as Nintendo has no way of knowing how many consoles were sold to consumers....But both companies can assume that what ever amount they sold to Retailers actually sold if the Retail stores are ordering more units as we speak.
Common sense stuff here....So my gripe is that people like you and others say MS only shows shipped and Nintendo sh...
You don't know what you are talking about. There are no facts to support that lie about Ms only reporting shipped while Nintendo reports sold to consumers. These are the only true numbers....Financial reports....and now we know that the xbox 360 has sold more than the Wii to date. Though its very close....and obviously the Wii is doing tremendously well from a hardware sold standpoint....
Though whats even more important than console sales is Software sales...and the xbox 36...
If it would have released on the xbox 360 it would be at 500k easy in a week or two.....What are ps3 owners buying? Thats one game that I would think Ps3 owners would be excited to get....WOW.....Well, I think developers are learning their lesson....Spending all that time and money for a measily 69k. One of the greatest fps franchises of all time and thats all it does. I have rented it for my ps3 but I'm waiting for the 360 version. Playing games like that with friends is what its all ab...
