Here's some more exclusives. Remember, MS keeps their games underwraps.
APB
Forza Motorsport 3
Huxley
Mass Effect 2
Ninja Blade
Ninety-Nine Nights 2
Project Offset
Splinter Cell: ConViction
Star Ocean 4
The Crossing
Theseis
Velvet Assassin
These are games that have been pushed back or have had the exception of being mentioned early.. Microsoft usually keeps their titles a secret until the year they release. As you already know they did it for 2008 with the whole "360 has no games for 2008."
Alan Wake
APB
Forza Motorsport 3
Halo 3: Recon
Halo Wars
Huxley
Mass Effect 2
Ninja Blade
Ninety-Nine Nights 2
Project Offset
Splinter Cell: ConViction

Wrong. Remedy Games states that the entire cinematic trailer is running in-game. And anyone who says that looks crappy is delusional, period. Here's a few screenshots as well.. By the way, this is what the 360 version looks like:

"but yet ppl are dogging the PS3 for having installs...? which will eventually become mandatory on the 360..."
Why would they become mandatory on the 360? Do you even know how installation works on the 360?
1. You still need the disc, so it doesn't even matter.
2. You need the HDD space.
Here's the thing.. a game does not have to be on a damn blu-ray disc to be good. The reason anyone thinks that is because Sony has amazing PR ab...
Alan Wake is another example of how well 360 games can look even without blu-ray. Here's a link (It's in-game by the way):

You guys need to realize.. that Blu-Ray is there so people don't have to compress the majority of data. But, compressions is so far along, that there's almost no difference between the two.
"NXE doesnt make a difference. Just because you install the game, Doesnt mean the System is not going to ask for the disc. It is required for the system to ask for the Disc no matter what. Your statement is flawed."
Here's a thought.. who cares? You're a moron, and you would rather accept forced installs which take up your HDD, instead of swapping discs.. Oh, did you know that Killzone 2's load times will probably be phenomenal now?
"Ninja Gaiden Sigma - 11.34GB
Enchanted Arms - 15.02GB
Blazing Angels 2 Secret Missions of WWII - 12.82GB
Lair - 22.9GB
Resistance: Fall of Man - 15.45GB
The Darkness - 18.88GB
Metal Gear Solid 4 - 31.6GB
Motorstorm - 14.4GB
The Elder Scrolls' IV: Oblivion - 14.4GB
Of course, the "greatness" of these games is entirely dependent of individual opinion. Still uses over 9GB though."
Or, you could just c...
I'm pretty sure his comment made perfect sense.. I just think you cant read correctly. Blu-Ray caused SONY to move the bottleneck and force mandatory installs because the disc drive needs to be about 2x the speed of what it is right now. Doesn't matter how much space you have on it.. 10 second disc swapping > 7-20minute installs.
Since when were multiple discs bad? Sony made everyone think that if it wasn't blu-ray, it was bad.. because Blu-ray moved the bottleneck by making you download portions of your game to your HDD so you didn't have to get off your lazy butts to change a disc..
Disc swapping > Forced Installs.
"They dropped support for the original Xbox and left me with no online gaming. Why? Because 360 was the new thing."
I was aware that they put NVIDIA chips into the Xbox which they didn't have permission to do or something like that.. they didn't drop the Xbox because of the 360.. no, not at all.
"Microsoft made a defective 360 model and covered it up for 3 years."
MS was addressing the manufacturing issues the day the 360 was released.. ...
"Ps3 totally ass raped 2008 lol."
That's really just subjective to the user.. if we were to go by Software sales and overall impact on 2008, it would probably be the 360.
In my look of things.. I really don't see Blu-Ray becoming the standard.. technology advances too quickly. In my eyes, I see Digital Downloads and Instant Streaming to become the new format. That.. or the new HVD*. Physical items will probably fade except for DVD, which is already the biggest thing around. Only about 10% of America even uses HD as their standard format. It's great and all that Blu-Ray is around, but it just doesn't seem like a piece of tech that will take off to extreme level...
Ok? And the PS3 is nowhere near the sales base of what the PS2 was at it's time.. should I go on?
You need to realize that "OMGZ MEGATON AAA EXCLUSIVES WILL OWN!" Only exist on the net.
To the average consumer? They're going to go with the least expensive, period.
Also, I guarantee you that if FFXIII sells well on the 360, expect Versus in the States, Europe, and even Japan, as SE doesn't give a rat's ass if a game is exclusive or not.
Also, Splinter Cell 5, Star Ocean 4, Ninja Blade, Velvet Assassin, Alan Wake, Forza Motorsport 3, Projec...
Software sales possibly? "Better exclusives" is a complete opinion.. and for the love of god don't whip out review scores.. (like I already mentioned) if a game has amazing review scores, but no one buys the damn thing, then it doesn't matter.
I guarantee you that when '08 is over.. MS will have raked in 3x the amount of money (which is all that really matters to these companies), and will have around 50 titles that have sold over 1 million copies. Not to mention it se...
Yeah.. Sony totally dominated Software sales and hardware sales.. rofl. That's why the 360 is still selling games on a 3:1 basis compared to the PS3 and is still 6 million units ahead. Where's the logic here? And no, I just felt that this needed to be countered lol.
"mgs4 > L4D & gears2"
I like to play my games 4-5 times over.. not watch them. Rofl, I had to.
Yeah, no it's not.. if you knew anything about technology, you would realize that the 360 Xenos is a smart chip which can function on it's own and even help the devs program to let the CPU use as much RAM as needed. NOT TO MENTION the CPU is hardly used in gaming usually.. and is only there to crunch numbers.
Another thing to add.. is that if the game cant sell for s*it.. then it doesn't matter what the ratings are for the game.. as no one even knows about LBP.
Why do they need a Halo 4? They have 2 halo games coming out in 2009. You're a moron for thinking that they don't have anything for 2009. Remember in '07? "The 360 has no games!" or '08? "This is the year of the PS3. The 360 will fall!" *sigh*
