So let me get this straight ~ the PS3 minimized the gap from about 7-9 Million since launch day down to about only 2 Million or so ***BUT*** it will take 79 more years to get past the last 2 Million?
Really? REALLY!? SMFH...
The amount of ignorant, immature, misinformed & biased people trying EVERYTHING they can to make themselves feel better about something they couldn't be more wrong about is astonishing!
It's like we are actual...
It's really not that hard to understand to those who have even minimal reading comprehension ~
The "bonus value" is when you OPTIONALLY go through the Activation process which does not say FREE anywhere (as to the activation aspect) so you cannot rightfully ASSume that it is "free"! Only the free month is "free" AFTER the paid for activation (as is under normal business practices) but ALL of this is explained COMPLETELY CLEARLY within the pac...
+Well Said madjedi...VERY Well Said
I'm American and partially agree with your point Harry (to an extent)...but I don't believe it's "just" Americans per se. I think it's more along the lines of the the American media bias that tries to portray us and the situation in that light because I have LOTS of friends and family (Americans) who contradict that "mind set" and actually prefer the PS brand over the others any day of the week!
Yet EVERY single one of my friends, family PLUS myself had it MULTIPLE times. I stopped trying to fix mine after 6 RROD's...don't believe me (I know you won't)? Here is mine when it had its 3rd RROD ~ http://youtu.be/PHNUSvhxcKg
Sorry, but if you ACTUALLY believe "it is fewer than you think" you are blindly naive or something else...there is WAAAY more proof that supports the high failure rates t...
Using an EXTREMELY conservative estimate of just say 15% (when we all know it was much more drastic than that) right there would be a starting point as to where the proper standings would be..but you would also have to account/take away about 3-5% from the PS3 & Wii (for their own industry standard failure estimates).
Disc Locked Content ultimately means they had the time to put it in but are charging additionally for it.
BULL F'ING $#@!
Sorry but there is no other discussion because if they wanted to support their game additionally (which is fine), then it should be coded/sold ~ AFTER the WHOLE game (on disc) is done. Not when launched...because no matter how you try to "explain it" they are getting something more out of YOU the consumer for work that has be...
Completely agree with DragonKnight, morganfell & BattleAxe(+WellSaid).
Though additionally, my sentiments are more in line with how bluntly Archaotic over @ Kotaku says it (if you follow the link and actually read the article that is)...
Going by track record ~ I know who I believe will push the envelope for themselves (and thusly the industry as a whole) while certain others I don't believe can say the same.
Completely agree coolasj. I am DEFINITELY getting one as soon as the funds are available no matter how many sell or not. I am a gamer and like what it has to offer...it's not my fault others who claim to be "gamers" can't see it (more like biased, reluctantly & blindly choose NOT to see it imho).
100% agree.
End of line.
@ Frankfurt ~ Yet not a SINGLE ONE OF THOSE GAMES can touch MULTIPLE PS3 EXCLUSIVES!
@ morganfell +Agree & +WellSaid
I see it this way as well ~ the real bottom line is SONY sells more than just 1 console, and all of them in total do very well for them in the "proper standings" (remember leaving things out is not a correct way to have a discussion about comparison).
But whatever, that is a different discussion...and we all know there are MORE than enough people on here who won't want to admit certain things and try to discre...
@ Veneno ~
"Well your viewpoint makes sense. QD has always said that their games are for adult audiences. and going by your age, you are just a child. If QD's work goes over your head, it's no surprise."
One of the best comments I have ever read here. +Agree +WellSaid
They got you down to 2 as well huh Digi? It's a damned shame that people like you, Morganfell, DarkRide66, DragonKnight & others (+ me as well) who actually speak facts (documented/confirmable) by correcting the misinformation that STILL gets spread here are "hushed"...over those who speak nonsense, spew unsupported claims, bias and quite a bit of outright BS are not as often "hushed".
"@Oner - I've supported my statements with direct evidence & NO inaccuracies."
NO YOU HAVE NOT. I DID!
Are you SERIOUSLY trying to argue about "inaccurate statements" when I COMPLETELY blew up yours using the 2 EXACT SITES that you claimed to have quoted!?!?
LMFAO! I think I may have seen it all! But whatever...I have said all that needed to be said and will just add one more with my "last bubble" ~
LMFAO! That's not even one of the 2 sites you claimed said "have praised Forza's realism"! Why aren't you addressing, discussing or admitting what you said is completely WRONG?!?! (I know why)
So while you sit there trying to make something else up to change the subject to deflect the inaccuracies in what you ORIGINALLY said...just understand this ~ that even what you just posted STILL does not say it's better than GT5.
And this disproves ANYTHING you just said in dispute when it comes to GT's "realism" vs Forza's (or lack thereof) ~ http://n4g.com/news/895870/...
Also you say that "Car & Driver and Road & Track have praised Forza's realism" when in this article (by Car & Driver about Forza 3...
@ Brutallyhonest ~ "Here we go again. The next Playstation hasn't even officially been announced and people are speculating it's impending doom."
Nothing different from what has been said in the media (and N4G) since 06/07 or so....(quoted for absolute and complete TRUTH).
+Agree
+WellSaid
Period.
Edit: Oh, almost forgot (gotta save them "bubbles" ya know lol)...there is nothing more to say...
You can try and run some BS excuse(s) all you want. I am right. Deal with it.
