Wii increased the market, so there is no way to know for sure how many of the PS2 casuals bought the Wii versus PS3 (or Xbox casual buying the Wii either for that matter). Yes some obviously did, but until I see some hard numbers I don't think it is a massive amount.

@Theo..."but there is a reason why Sony refused to comment..." Why yes they do have a reason...they aren't controlled or dictated to by a 3rd party company with mostly rehashed games comes to mind. Why w...

Final nail as a brand? Are you that lacking in department of common sense. First of all it is ONLY Activision, while big, not the end of the brand for Sony regardless of what Activision chooses to do.

Secondly I highly doubt Activision will follow through with this (not to mention Sony will likely have a price drop by fall).

Thirdly, "the once mighty Playstation"???? Put down the crack pipe, they are still mighty, go look up total PS1 sales, while the...

Have you EVER noticed that you are one of the worst fanboys you complain about??? Oh you probably haven't since if you like the X360 you just simply can't be a fanboy <sigh>. You spin things more than a politician.

Trolling occurs on both sides of the console war honestly and its sad you can't see that since you are one of the worst. You tend to hit the PS3 threads (though granted not as much lately) and talk smack then claim that ONLY PS3 fans do the smack talking. You are...

@Sak: Lol, calling out a fanboy then saying 99% lol, wow, maybe someone should point the open zone out for you.

On topic: The only thing about this game I want to know now is the length for an average player who isn't racing through just to reach the end. I am tired of the short games (Force Unleashed) personally. I am saying this on multi-plat games so nobody get console defensive please. It really is looking like a great game, if it has decent length I am in. Both true next g...

The point I made that you apparently missed despite your self proclaimed knowledge levels was that you bashed on Sony but not MS when the St. James article was about both gaming companies. Yet you then call me a fanboy. Nice.

I agree with you on the MS warranty hit, I had read that it was to be spread but since have read that it was taken at once, my honest mistake.

The point you are making I agree with in that the gaming divisions for both companies (MS and Sony) ...

Nice how you only dissed on Sony in your "read between the lines" bs. Would that be like when MS spread the cost of the extended warranty over future years to make their X360 look profitable faster? It works both ways. Alex St. John is full of himself and biased. If he wasn't making PC software I might put more weight behind his thoughts.

Let me think here, trust someone who makes spyware infested crap and very little money or 2 companies that have been doing this for...

Wow you mention looking at recent polls then as the above person mentions you use a month old poll...

Here is the cnn poll of polls and look who is ahead and has been ahead for a bit now. http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS...

LBP coming early would be incredible, and if somehow Sony manages to pull off a price cut in October too that would be lights out.

Its because people can't tell whether you have taken your medicine or not each time you post. You could easily fit into the category of either extremely bi-polar or have multiple personality disorder. Not trying to be mean but wow your posts go from one end to the other more than pretty much anyone else on here.

@Juuken: So what do you do to prepare poor little piggy? Tell him/her its going to hurt you more than him/her? Then bash its poor little body to smithereens with your hammer and pull your money from the pieces of its poor little broken body??? You heartless meanie!!!

Yeah I am going to be broke too, October is going to do damage to my finances almost as bad as George W has made my last 8 years...ok who am I kidding it won't be anywhere near that bad.

How much did spreading that $3 billion extended warranty over future years help the X360 become profitable and does that make it truly profitable?

However if you followed the storyline from Resistance 1 it tells you how humans have figured out some of the Chimera's technology and begun adapting it. I would guess this is where the headset came from personally but who knows.

This game looks incredible! I can't wait for November!

The attach rate on most multiplat games FAVORS the PS3! The fact that X360 sells more on multiplats is because it currently has a little over 5 million more hardware units sold (due to being out a year earlier). The fact that it doesn't sell a large amount more despite having 5 million more hardware units...its pretty simple math actually, too bad you couldn't figure that out.

@Silver: According to your logic the fact that a retail store locks the "games" behind plastic cages means Wal-Mart is being unfair and you should be entitled to just take the game, aka stealing...

I agree EA was way off base with the 3 install limit thing, not going to even pretend to defend them for that, however I am also so tired of people saying because EA did something they don't like that excuses them to steal. Yes its just a game, but its still lame to steal. ...

Your crap is getting more and more lame by the day. The jab of Sony lying was WEAK. If you want to point that finger your beloved MS is screwed as they pretty much live by the lie. I am not saying Sony hasn't had some issues with that but pretty much most major companies have their turn at "lying".

I hope the rumor that keeps popping up that L4Dead is coming to to PS3 is true because I admit that game looks pretty cool to me. Yes we all know there is no proof to the...

@Bangladesh: Actually you are the moron. I agree the article was nothing but stupidity for the most part, but the point I believe he was trying to make was there are way too many people who go to Metacritic and say "oh no it scored 79 percent so I can't play it" rather than just use the site for a reference point. I think that is the point you were trying to make but failed because of your stupid fanboy drivel that you were attempting to displace on others. Meta is a decent sourc...

You are making a large assumption about a market that you cannot back in fact. I will grant you that you are entitled to your opinion but its not fact yet. What makes you give the Wii and 360 15-20 million of the PS2's fanbase (which is over 120 million fyi)?

Wii is mostly creating new expansions to the casual gamers, I don't think they have stolen that many of the PS2's market honestly IMO since the graphics of the Wii are not that superior to the PS2, it would be a lateral mo...

@Reburn: 10k is not exactly needing "carried". I think they are saying that we have 3 brands out there right now selling. You act as if MS wouldn't do the same if they actually had a hand held out there and hadn't dumped the Xbox original, which would be wrong on your part. Just as Nintendo should list the DS and Wii sales both, they have them on the market. NPD is not just about the X360 and PS3, there are several other systems selling atm.

I see your point a little more now and understand the friends list thing. I personally don't play online that much as it doesn't interest me much but if your friends were on X360 I can see that, but you still left that open as a slam we here on here a lot about the "PS3 being a glorified blu-ray player" until you clarified it in your newer post.

I disagree with you on the X360 being more bashed. I also feel that there are equal numbers on here that claim to own a sy...

The whole attempt at a superior mentality approach is seen through by anyone with half a brain. You talk about the X360 bashing but its rampant on both sides. X360 extreme fans bash PS3 and extreme PS3 fans bash X360. This "picked on more than the other" crap is lame and old.

You pretend to be so above things yet you then pretend to praise the PS3 while bashing it. The old bs about PS3 only being good for being a blu-ray is simply stupid, nothing more. You &quo...

@nbsmatumbo: Its because Sony has a brand, it has 3 systems still selling, why wouldn't they use that? If MS was still selling Xbox trust me they would say the same. If they had a handheld the same applies.

@popeye: The overall attach rate includes an entire year of games that the PS3 and Wii don't have. The attach rates for the past year only are a much different story. I am sick of that song and dance. Be a fanboy, but at least come up with something new.
