"And people scream the 360 has no games for 2011...Well they gotta b doing something right if they are selling all this consoles."
Thats because console sales dont have much to do with games. It has more to do with gimmicks, advertising and actual price of the console.
"Fable 3 and Reach both came out at the end of the year.
Thats 2 exclusives compared to one (GT5) for Sony and I cant think of any for the Wii."
Actually. Little big Planet 2 comes out in one week. So lets not forget about this title, which is actually turning into a big franchise.
Why am I not surprised this turned into a "bash GT5 thing". GT5 has probably already sold close to 6 million anyway. But anyway. Little big planet 2 is about to be released so lets see what it does.
"I could see commercials now :
Purchase on-live and play games you pre-order before anyone without having to leave to go out in public or to wait for the mailorder for your physical disc lol."
Or just simply play them on xbl or psn. :) Because whatever demos Onlive has the other two services have also.
Onlive is pointless. Onlive has the same games thats already on the PS3, 360 and the PC, so that kinda makes it irrelevant. It needs exclusives to actually make itself an actual platform and draw attention.
The launch probably wasn't all that great. But tripple A titles like Little Big Planet 2, Socom 4, and Killzone 3 are on their way.
MY thing is. Why everytime Kinect is being positively talked about, its always about sales? What ever happened to games?? Future releases? Previews? Reviews? What happened to that line up of hardcore games MS onced talked about?? I guess it doesn't matter to them as long as the "sales" are there.
Maybe we are, maybe we're not considering that single player games also cost 60$ Now personally I'd never have a problem paying for online fees if its in the 60$. I guess you can say I've never pay extra online fees.
"I'd love it. No more loading. No more long, boring, drawn out story lines that have no resolve to them. No more open world,, drab GTA games. No more FPS above all else. It'd be a gaming dream come true."
Gotta disagree with you here. I dont want mindless sensless gaming. I prefer great stories and strong character support.
"Who Pays to Play Online? You Do"
I dont. I'd never pay to play a game online. I'm not some mindless gamer who alows himself to be price gouged.
"Exclusive" to many 360 gamers means "not available on PS3". They're the only gamers on the planet who use this logic of "exclusive = not available on competitor's console."
Unfortunately. Thats not what the word exclusive mean.
Actually I'm a gamer. So that means I don't use scores to determine whats good or not. No matter what scores say what, apparently the popularity of GT is still much bigger than Forza.
So basically your friend disagreed with all the professional race car drivers and car enthusiast who stated that GT5 is the closest thing to real world handling out there? Seems to me that you are the so called "misleading 360 fanboy".
@radzy: And with all those rediculous allocations you are writing. The GT franchise is still pwning the Forza franchise in popularity.
"No it doesn't, I'd say that it all depens on the developer. Blu-ray has nothing to do with it."
So having a lot more disc space has nothing to do with the option of having a longer game??
"The ps3 move is $100 for one set of control, so if I want to play with my friends, I have to spend at least $200... $50 more than the kinect."
Actually thats not true. The PS move BUNDLE is 99$. But a PS move controller is 50$. After buying the bundle first all you would need to do is buy another controller for your friend which is 50$. So in total you would be paying 150$.
"How Did Call of Duty Get So Huge?"
Honestly. I have no idea how. I think COD games are just boring generic shooters. I don't know, maybe people love pretending that they are some great soldier in the military or something. I dont know. But I like shooters. But I like the ones that are more story driven with strong character support such as the Resistance franchise and the Gears Of War franchise. I was absolutely blown away by the gameplay and the story in Res...
I misread the sales numbers thats why I edited. But anyway, Forza 3 is okay. They did some things good and some things not so good. They still have a ways to go in capturing real life performance.
Yeah looks like GT5 is catching Forza quickly.
And after all that the Wii still comletely owns both Kinect and the xbox360.
"Actually GT5 is just barely over 5 million. The franchise ins't near as popular as it used to be. Its a franchise that is fading away."
There is no actual solid proof of the sales anyway. But as far as popularity. Its still easily the most popular racing simulator. As spoken by various auto makers and actual professional race car drivers. I've heard numerous auto makers and professional drivers go on and on about the GT franchise. I have never heard anyone tal...
