The number is very close to previous numbers given publicly by Sony.
In other words, hardware failures are non-issue for the PS3.
"The only people that know the actual numbers work for Microsoft, and the numbers are not something Microsoft or any other company would typically disclose for competitive reasons."
Sony just in the past couple of weeks publicly confirmed that the PS3 failure rate was less than 0.5 percent.
"Home is not very gamer friendly"
Yes, that is why over 8 million PS3 'gamers' are Home users already...
"I bet you would love Natal if it had Sony slapped all over it. "
Gamers already do. It's called EyeToy:

Here's the secret behind the scenes process of how that amazing sales tracking by vgchartz was done:
Step 1: Read news that Sony had sold over a million PS3 Slims in just three weeks
Step 2: Come up with a number that is as small as possible that is still believable to add on for the fourth week of PS3 Slim sales
Step 3: Add that number from Step to the 1 million from Step 1
Step 4: Type in a bunch of random digits to try ...
"I want all live's features for psn,please,not only cross game chat\invites,party's but cool gamer card,featureing a lot of details about trophies,your game session etc...
even at a monthly fee,no problem"
WTF???
Go away.
Every console maker knows how many consoles have been sold at retail.
Microsoft simply chooses to still claim sold to retail numbers are actual installed base numbers obviously because it makes their sales look better.
They could report honest sold to customers tomorrow if the wanted to. But they won't because it would actually make their worldwide sales numbers a million or two lower.
"They seemed to really like Uncharted 2. How can it get an 8?"
Because the idiot who wrote is a hardcore Xbox fan...reviewing a PS3 exclusive.
Isn't it great having Microsoft and Xbox fans in the console world?
"He talks about how the multiplayer is unwanted and he would never choose to play it over Gears of War or Halo ODST,"
In other words yet another pathetic Xbox fan who thinks he's helping Microsoft and his Xbox out by 'reviewing' PS3 games.
You would imagine that anyone who considers themselves a gamer would have enough class and dignity to have no interest in reviewing games for a platform they dislike.
No matter how much Nintendo and Sony fans...
"An 8 out of 10. WTF.. I'm confused.. sound 7? Replayability 7? What were they smoking.. "
They weren't smoking anything. The pathetic little punk who wrote this simply used sound and replayability as the easiest way to try to justify the 8/10 he decided he was going to give the game.
He knew he didn't want to give this PS3 exclusive a 9 or 10/10. But also knew that 7/10 or lower would have just gotten laughed at.
So he picked 8/10.
Yeech, the game does looks like some shareware PC title.
"Well seeing as I haven't played it myself (only the multiplayer beta) I can't judge."
That has nothing to do with why IGN's silly review score is getting laughed at by gamers.
A site's review scores have to be internally consistent. You can't grade one title on one scoring scale and a different title on another scale.
If you take off points for something in one game, you damn well better have taken off points in every other game for that reaso...
Not only does Uncharted 2 destroy everything that has ever been on the Xbox 360. It destroys everything that ever will be on the Xbox 360.
But that isn't all. Uncharted 2 destroys every lie about the graphical power that was spread in the gaming media or garbage sites like beyond3d.com.
"So did killzone 2...this is nothing new"
Yep.
There never has been another console gen where a single console, the PS3, has so totally annihilated its competition, the 360, graphically.
Last gen the PS2,GameCube, and Xbox were all very close in graphical power. Roughly the same poly counts in games, the PS2 and 360 had the same disc format size. The PS2 was better at framebuffer effects and floating point(animation,lighting,etc calcs) for exam...
-chaz-: "faked trailers"
Did you actually just try to repeat the lie about the Killzone 2 trailer?
Let's just remind everyone what happened:
Sony released their target rendering for Killzone 2 at E3. A gaming TV program interviewed Jack Tretton and asked him about Resistance running realtime and responded that it was. It was a launch game afterall. It was obvious that Jack was talking about Resistance because he specifically says "Ted told...
Console gaming feels a lot like some kids(Nintendo and Sony) who have been playing a friendly game of basketball and then a new kid shows up(Microsoft). Suddenly the game gets very nasty because the new kid is punching and shoving and screaming foul constantly on their poor shot attempts.
There has always been a certain level of respect, IMO, between Nintendo and Sony fans. If Nintendo fans love and want to play Mario and Zelda. So be it. Good for them. And Nintendo fans seem to ...
"Very creative."
Well, they have had over two years of learning from the masters of 'teh 360 version looks better' clowns over at gametrailers to learn from:
Using higher compression on the PS3 images to the are the same size but colors and detail lowered
Using incorrect video hook ups and settings so the PS3 version looks washed out
Capturing PS3 screenshots at weird resolutions and then scaling them and introduction jaggies and o...
"if there's anyone out there who still thinks bluray does nothing for gaming"
There really isn't anyone who actually believes that damage control meme.
No one would be making such an asinine claim if this wasn't the first generation to have a console with less storage space than a previous gen.
Haven't finished the first Patapon. Was getting absolutely nowhere in the game until I started playing with headphones. Still having trouble getting through more the 1/3 of the game.
Absolutely love the game - the art, music, etc.
A nice bump for the Wii but not remotely close to the 151k Sony got with the PS3 price drop.
Nintendo has to be realizing the Wii is rapidly losing momentum.
