What he is saying is somewhat true.
Most popular games of Q4 2008 are 3rd party titles, i.e. Rockband/ Guitar Hero / Madden / Cod5 etc.
However, He is wrong about Sony being able to NOT drop the price. Sony willcan potentially recuperate cost if the users actually intend to buy games/Sony produces blu-ray movies.
Personally, I think Sony should of kept the 20 gig Launch model and sold a wi-fi adapter separately.Sony however is making profit off PSN, ...
Negative.
More Hardware = More Users.
More Users = More people whom buy Software (games/Downloads)
A price cut + more readily available PSN Cards = Recuperated money from hardware manufacturing loss.
Ex: 300 PS3. -100$ profit. Sony loses $ of PS3 sold.
User than buys say 5 games with in 1 year. (300 USD before Taxes)
3 are first party titles. 2 others are not. Sony makes ~7$ off non Sony-first party games before Retailers get their ...
in Socom Confrontation you can dance over your enemies + Tee bag + talk smack + Hump them.
The best part of it is, you can do it all simultaneously while talking smack.
Everyone knows, Microsoft has Halo and Sony has Socom :)
Side note: Socom Confrontation is not really a Ps3 formatted socom, but a Socom that happens to be a sequel, made in 2008 which is backward compatible with all ps3 around the world.
Timesplitters 4(?) is in the works, and free radical is looking for a publisher.
To me Timesplitters was better than Halo last gen since it had great maps and a cool create a map feature.
I'd be more excited for another map pack....
O wait Infinity Ward doesn't like money.
Klept,
Everyone moved on to either Socom or COD5.
Been there done that. Game is old. Not a coincidence, to release it at that time. Why not this weekend instead? Why give gamers a 2 week notice?
KZ2, the futuristic successor to Cod 4 :)
LoL @ controller lag.
Wow, some people have to find something wrong with certain games on a certain console.
Heavenly Sword: ...oh it too short
Uncharted: copies off Tomb raider, screen tears when 10 grenades go off
Warhawk: "Cartoony" graphics, no single player
Motorstorm 1 & 2: Doesn't do anything new..., Pure is better....
MGS4: game sucks, the cutscenes are too long.
Little Big Planet: Can't make a level with flying Pen...
Yea Famitsu probably scored it high due to being a GTA: Japan.
Their scores are worth jack since Haze.
Bingo. More Japanese Flair.
Actually bringing up Gran Tourismo as a comparison makes no sense.
This game should be compared to Forza. Gran Tourismo Prolouge was more like a slice of a cake, that is still baking and won't be out of the oven till late 2009 :(
Wow I didn't know the "man" was a microsoft employee.
Here you go Monta, breaken down "barney style":
I M Bashing GameSPOT, NOT Microsoft.
Hmm, not trying to be a di**, but Gran Tourismo (All versions) have been all about Simulation.
They included a Arcade portion since GT2 in which was more like a arcade racer. The career mode (?) was the opposite have you select the exact features and tweaking of the engine. You could set the RPM's for gearshift and select the right tires, etc.
The only thing knocking the simulation aspect in the GT:prologue was the car damage.
Oz360, So a true Sim had to h...
They can't please everyone, so they decide to go with the majority.
Sell-outs.
DMC 3 game was great because it was challenging and because well, it had the best boss fights ever in a game.
God of war is more epic however and made hack and slash perfect
No heavenly Sword Leon?
IMO that is the best next gen hack and slash to date, I liked it more than NG2.
The only thing killing that game was length, I beat it in 5 hours the first go on normal. Ending was Epic.
Netflix + Gamefly = Blockbuster online.
Hmm, smart business move since they already have the infrastructure to mass mail game cd's. I guess I will hold on to some of their stock...
To be honest I am "dissapointed" about the review and for a VALID REASON.
Games cost more this turn around.
Some "HardcoreGamers" use reviews as a somewhat of a guidepost to put money at.
If a review say persuades people that the game is worth a rental, in which the edge review is pointing towards...(just in those words), more gamers will rent/gamefly the game instead or wait till the price drops, which could be months/years. This co...

=Another Fanboy.
Stop trying to hide it. Your attempts at witty attacks is simply unintelligent. Your post are always pro 360, ant-sony. Look at post history. Stop trying to be neutral, because you troll as much as the other guys.
"Exclusive" Stealth Fanboy Confirmed.
Variety.com is almost a conglomerate of MSN.
P.S. I am pro Sony, but I love XBL and believe 360 has the greatest online service. Go ahead and reply to that.
Scary and helpful at the same time.
