"the Gap has only really closed by 2.5 - 3 million. "
You have to remember, the 360 outsold the ps3 from Jan - August.
The ps3 outsold the 360 from Sept 09 - now.
The gap closed a lot more than you think.
"Just a question: how do we know VG Chartz numbers stink? I'm not trying to say they don't just a legit question? "
look at it this way: Sony announced 27m ps3's as of Q2 last year which is end of Sept. If you add 3.8m ps3's in december, that becomes 30.8, without including oct+nov sales data. Vgchartz has ps3 listed for 31.5m as of now. I'm pretty sure the ps3 sold more than 700k in november and october.
"'strict Live policy' "
correct me if i'm wrong but i think they don't allow for online connectivity between other platforms?
Sony doesn't need to market a game as much as you'd expect. It'll spread with word of mouth. You already have kratos on nascar, in 7-11, kratos sackboys. Kratos is a well known figure.
I dont know how many of you know french culture, but from what I've studied, in French schools, they grade on an out of 20 scale. This review also graded out of 20. French schools are harsh, which is why a 15/20 is a pretty good grade in France.(from what I've studied)
if you want further clarification... they give the game's graphics a 15/20. Which may not sound like a good score to you, but in the French grading system, its a pretty good score.
"Heavy Rain, I can see calling it an adventure game"
An adventure game in my mind is like Jak & Daxter, R&C, and MGS. I can't see Heavy Rain as an adventure game.
In my opinion, an adventure game has some action in it.
the sad part is they make crazy profits on this thing. Its just a regular 250gb SATA HDD with special casing.
When I upgraded my 20gb to 120gb, i was kind of mad that I couldn't put in a bigger drive, but then I realized I really didn't need more HDD space, because i don't use that much space on my 360.
"265gb of RAM"
First of all, i WISH it had 256GB.
Second of all, its 256MB XDR and 256MB GDDR3
Its true that one spe is disabled, but its not functional in most ps3's.
When producing a cell chip, you don't always get 8 working spe's. Most have a defect with one of the spe's, and that spe is usually the one that is disabled. Sometimes you may even get cell chips with 2 defects, but those could be recycled for other uses. With one perfect fully functional cell chip produced, there are many more cell chips with a defect in one of the spe's made. This is why Sony went with 7 S...
Sony isn't praising the iPad.
In fact, no one other than apple is praising it.
dont forget an accelerometer.
and make that touchscreen multi touch capacitive.
And a nice big OLED.
i dont see it like that. I think they timed Heavy Raiin correctly. Its very important to have a game like that in the midst of all these online shooters.
At first I was skeptical of Heavy Rain, then I saw the story element in the game. Then I saw it as a break from MW2. Then I saw the >9 reviews, and now i'm convinced.
please, just read the review. Dont look at the score and go "omFg oNly a 7 tHiS gamE suCkS"
A summary of the review: MAG works great, graphics are okay not spectacular, sound is awesome with surround sound, but there's no soundtrack(which is kind of a flawed part of the review imo)
I love MAG because its the polar opposite of MW2. If you're ready to work with a team and make friends, go with MAG. Otherwise, just get MW2.
I love MW2 when I'm feeling depressed, and no one on my friends list is online. It feels good to kill and win. But if my friends are on, i'm jumping to MAG. There's no experience like taking out the Anti Air and parachuting in and winnning the game with your friends, and there's no frustration like getting a squad mate who doesn't work with...
Thats the thing about MAG. You can't review it until you spend time in the game. The first few hours are going to be rough, but after that, you'll get used to it and eventually become a squad leader(the real fun in the game)
MAG is a hit or a miss for some people. The people that have it love it, and the people who say its not for them either didn't give it a chance, or its really not their type of game. Reviewers fall into the former category. I bet you, most reviewers didn't ev...
no installs!!
add-on content could mean skins and stuff like that, but it could also mean new challenges.
No matter how you try to spin it and make yourself feel better:
-The ps3 is still the king of graphics this generation.
-Installs are easier than changing discs, which is why netflix is more of a pain on the ps3 than the 360.
"Anyways no time for excuses and please give me all these games you think look better on PS3? "
Darksiders, Dragon Age Origins, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Bionic Commando, Terminator Salvation, Wanted, Star Wars Force Unleashed, Princ...
PSP has crazy support... well on the cutom firmware side at least.
if you want to see the psp sell crazy, its time for Sony to release psp2. I'm ready, and just about every other psp owner i know is anxiously waiting.
i dont remember psn EVER crashing.
I do recall IW underestimating ps3 sales.
"Modern Warfare went from being my favorite game on my PS3 (#4) to my most despised (MW2). I still actually play the game (its fun with friends), but there is just so much I'm upset with. "
I feel the exact same way as you do. COD4 was fun. I'll play mw2 cause its what all my friends are playing.
In my opinion, the things that are wrong with mw2 are the following:
-noob tubers/care package glitchers
-badly designed maps
-minor lag, dying a...
