Sept NPD had the 360 (w/Halo 3) push about 250,000 more consoles than the previous month. Or roughly double.
Comparatively,
MGS 4 pushed 230,000 consoles upon it's release
If he's taking the quote out of context, shouldn't you put the quote in context?
It's easy to say that the quote doesn't fit but you add no credibility either by telling rather than showing.
You probably should have waited for the Sith Edition--which will have ALL the content on disk.
They aren't releasing the Hoth content for download, apparently. At least not for a while.
Granted the game will do very well, but do you honestly think Halo ODST will be a system seller? After 4 years and 2 Halo games, I think the people who wanted a 360 for Halo already have one.
The fact the Elite is NOW $299 will have no bearing because the Pro's been $299 for almost a year and the Arcade has been $199 for just as long.
Since its now news when a discounted 360 game "dethrones" the PS3 Slim from the #1 slot (no matter if it's only for a day or an hour), can it also be news that:
The discounted Elite didn't even make it to the top ten following it's price cut?
*I've even got a few sensationalist titles:
1. "Consumer's say "Meh" to Elite price cut?"
2. "360 reasons why the Xbox 360 price cut fails!"
3. "Proof that no...
I posted a link about a week ago that showed the strategy guide for the Ballad of Gay Tony having "PS3" on there with the 360 and PC.
Mistake? Maybe. But who knows anymore.
Based off of SE's recent track record, I'm going to call it right now:
"Exclusive DLC for the 360 will be announced early next year. The reason--to "make up" for the game not coming to Japan."
If that statement seems illogical--i.e. giving non-Japanese 360 exclusive content bc the game isn't coming to Japan--it was intentional. And based solely on SE's slide into a schizophrenic mess.
There is one example of that where it actually works within the context of the story---Psycho Mantis in MGS.
Until you figure out the "trick" to beat him (or rather the easier way to beat him), it's like you're really fighting a precog.
The sad thing, this will probably get approved and hit the front page.
Personally, I think the people approving this should lose their privileges approving stories--simply because they know something like this is temporary at best and not news worthy.
"Stop treating us like whores."
Then stop acting like one.
While I have no problem with games going multiplatform (and with the case of FF XIII, I'll be importing the PS3 version as soon as it drops in Japan), what pisses me off is devs not being honest from the get go about it. I mean, most people expected it to go multiplat when they scrapped the White Engine. But if SE knew as early as 2007-2008 that it was going multiplat, they should have just come out and said it. It wouldn't have hurt them financially, AT ALL.
I also hate (re. hat...
Gee, I wonder if the articles coming in during the week of Gamescom (which is coincidentally the week these numbers were taken) stating that many major Japanese stores were out of stock and hadn't received new stock in two weeks could explain why the numbers were so low?
Nah. That's crazy.
I love the doom and gloom and tinfoil hats in here and especially the ones who commented on CNET. Especially considering the "bill" is still in draft form--meaning it hasn't reached committee, the house, the senate or any other process that would actually make it law.
Not only that, but this is no different than the powers already established in the case of a national emergency. It's just been extended to this relatively new and unprotected part of our infrastructure. W...
"Cross game chat seems to be more wanted on the PS3 than the PS3 fans on this site let on."
No. Not really. The majority of people bringing up cross-game chat are folks like yourself. And usually to justify why you pay $50 a year for a service that offers the essentials (i.e. the ability to play online) for free on another console. Not to mention the fact that it also offers 99% of the same features as LIVE at no overhead cost. (Although I still haven't received a respo...
Good job on pointing out 2D textures and then giving specific examples to back up your claims.
Oh wait..
1. It was one of you that brought up KZ 2 in the first place.
2. Selling more =/= a "better game."
Going by that logic, Wii Sports is the best game ever.
@Blaze
Except those screens aren't "Xbox 360" screens. Despite what the title on the Eidos site says.
Those are a combination of PC, PS3 and 360 screens. Click on the AA PC shots on the same site and there are a couple of the "Batman" shots that show up in both places.
Plus if you go to IGN and look at the "Screens" tab, EVERY ONE of those screens are in both the PS3 and Xbox 360 channels. The one with Joker putting on the ...
What's funny is the multiplayer they are talking about with regards to Splinter Cell is from the old, 2007 build of the game. BEFORE they "went back to the drawing board"
Here's a link from 2007

For the current build, no one knows yet. There is only this:
"“We’re going to have a multiplayer, but I can’t talk about it anymore than that. It’s part of the things we’re going to announce during the summer,” producer Alexandre Parizeau told Joystiq."
The multiplayer they are talking about in this "article" is from the old, "hobo Sam" build from 2007. It's obviously been changed along with the game, otherwise the devs wouldn't hesitate to...
It moved about 250,000 consoles that month.
But when you take into account that MGS 4 moved 230,000 consoles the month it was released (and selling about 740,000 copies)--on a system twice as expensive--the numbers are kind of disappointing.
Sure it sold 3 million in the US alone, but moving only 250,000 consoles?
