I have never cared about sales. Ever. Don't inflate your head because your console outsold another.
Apparently the E3 trailer used graphics very similar to the in game ones. If that's true. God damn.
Notice the only people who care about sales? 360 fanboys.
I'll say again. Why do sales matter? "ZOMG we got more sales than you so we have better console".
No. I'm not crying, I've never given a monkey about sales. Only the companies should care, not stupid fanboys who are constantly trying to get one up over the other console.
2008 was never going to be the year of the PS3, it had no massive games coming out for it in the early half. However, In 2009, it has some great games planned throughout the year.
PS3 is only just getting into it's stride. Xbox had a good run, and I still <3 mine, and a year ago I'd be raving about the Xbox, but from here on in, PS3 is the way forward.
And in defence of the 360, Fable 2, Gow2, NXE, plus some more I can't remember. Yes, 2008 is close.
Troll or not. He has some true, solid facts in there.
Who. Cares. About. Sales?
Do they make a console any better? If you enjoy playing it, then that's great, don't buy it because it sold more than a rival console, that's just stupid.
I have seen no crying from any Sony fanboy here. It's mostly just gloating from Xbox fanboys.
And actually, there's far more 360 fanboys here than Sony fanboys, so your statement applies to some people of both groups.
And prepare for Xbox 360 sales to go down :)
It's just a rough list, when ever I compile lists like that I always miss ones out :P
I realised about both of them, but it was 31 minutes since my comment ><
Last year fanboys said the PS3 had no good games...
Last year they said Blu ray would die and become useless...
And you know what? They still say that. Even after they have been proved wrong.
Ye gods the ignorance of some of these 360 fanboys is staggering.
I own both consoles, and I fully agree with this article.
Let's have a look at some of the exclusives, coming out this year/next.
Xbox
2008:
GoW2
Fable 2
2009:
Left 4 Dead (which by the way, has a 50/50 chance of coming to PS3 :))
Halo Wars
PS3
2008:
Little Big Planet
Resistance 2
2009:
Killzone ...
Yes thank you very much. It makes Halo's storyline look like the work of a 5 year old.
Blu ray hasn't failed, and it won't for several years to come. It won the format war. Nice job on your facts mate. In a couple of years time, Blu-ray will replace DVD. You can hold up to 50GB on a single blu-ray disc, compared to the 7-8GB on a dual layered DVD.
Wait, wait wait. Lobster, you just called MGS4 a bad game?
Halo is actually the most over rated game ever, plus it has the most ignorant of fanboys going. Nearly everyone I have spoken too, even some of the more hardcore Xbox fanboys all agree MGS4 blows Halo away. Halo CE = good. Halo 2 = ok. Halo 3 = bad. God knows what the other 4 halo games will be like.
And one developer, out of a team of hundreds joins a rival team. Who actually cares? Did he make MGS4 the awe...
PS3 is the lead platform for Mirrors Edge and FFXIII.
juuken's post number 6.1 is 100% true. Just add the "But Xbox is winning on sales!" and you have a list of what all 360 fanboys say :) It's like a broken record. No new arguments come up.
Sales again! No one gives a monkeys about sales except die hard Xbox fanboys. If kiddy games don't do well, then why is the wii top of the sales charts?
It makes me laugh how all xbox fanboys just bash LBP, when just by what they say it shows they know nothing about it.
And i'd much rather have a sims rip off, than a mii rip off used in a pathetic attempt to stand up to the "sims rip off".
This is mostly directed to marionz's reply.
I love how all the Xbox fanboys reject LBP. It's probably the most original game ever. There's speculation is will be the 'youtube of gaming' which IMO, is definitely possible.
And what's MS's answer to LBP? Gears of War 2. Another shooter. Oh joy! The originality is so insane!
Come the end of this year, all the Xbox has is barely on the horizon Halo sequels. YAY. More shooters! The only thing MS can publish! W...
The thing is, it has not been mentioned anywhere whether the install feature will be available for all Xbox games. And I personally have my doubts. How will they update all the games coding allowing it to be installed? If it was simple, then there would be mods all over the internet.
It wouldn't surprise me in anyway if the install feature was for new games only.
Ignore all the other comments why don't you :)
Compare them. The XMB goes across with drop down menus. The NXBLE goes down with side across menus. Then look at avatars? Mii and home pathetic blend much?
There isn't anything wrong with copying other companies, but when you make a whole new update, that is 80% copied ideas and generate a lot of hype on it, that's not cool.
Of course the PS3 won't get a game like Halo. Want to know why? Because Halo sucks balls. Sony try to get good games on their console.
Poor Xbots. Stuck with shooters are we?
