Regardless of what some of you think the PS3 should have sold in this region or that, the fact remains that the 360 still has the same lead over the PS3 as it did when the PS3 launched onto the market. 360 has over 39 million sold and PS3 is somewhere around 33 million. This means that the 360 has sold equally well or better than the PS3 since the later console came on the market. This is directly opposite of what some PS3 fans are claiming.
Furthermore, how in the world are ...
This article had some valid points. I know that it isn't allowed to criticize the PS3 in any way because it is perfection incarnate in the minds of many people around here, but its easy to see how mandatory installations could bother some people.
The biggest hypocrisy I see is that PS3 die hards are always making such a huge deal about multiple discs when the percentage of games requiring multiple discs is only around 3% of the total 360 library and it only takes a few seconds...
That "content" that you are talking about wasn't finished either. That is what you are not taking into consideration. Games cut content all the time at certain stages in development, but those things that were cut are never fully completed. They are cut out because they are deemed to not be up to the desired standard and so it is better to cut them out than waste time and money fleshing them out when they are only going to hurt the game in the long run anyway.
So, since Versus is exclusive we can expect it to be "significantly better"? I don't buy it.
Just wait and see. All your hate and blame towards the 360 is misplaced. Versus will prove it.
Is there even any proof that Microsoft paid a huge sum of money to get Final Fantasy XIII on the 360? Most 3rd party developers have gone multi-platform this generation due to the rising costs of game development and because all platforms are very healthy this generation so it makes sense to take advantage of those strong installed bases.
Besides, even if Microsoft did give Square some monetary incentive, how is that a bad thing? Why wouldn't Microsoft want to get as many games...
thewhoopimen, you have to be one of the most biased and deluded people on this site.
You are claiming there is a night and day difference between Uncharted and Uncharted 2, but that there is only a small improvement between Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2? I say, bullsh*t!
First of all, there was a noticeable improvement from Uncharted to Uncharted 2, not a night and day difference (way to exaggerate).
Similarly there is a noticeable improvement from ...
I'm actually very glad that FFXIII Versus is exclusive to the PS3. That way when it comes out and people see that it looks no better and is no larger than FFXIII we can put to bed this whole idea that FFXIII was adversely affected by being a multiplatform game.
Also, @Saaking, I agree with Fair_Play that you really need to stop acting like PS3 games are better than 360 games. It is really getting absurd. The PS3 has 2 games that look slightly better, not 'lots of games that lo...
OmarJA, if you are going to lie why not just say 100% failure rate? The number you guys have tried to use has been going up over time even though the actual fail rate has only been going down and down.
And if 360 fans were as pathetic as PS3 fans then they could just claim the PS3 has a 40% failure rate or some crap like that. I mean, while we're just pulling numbers randomly out of the air and everything.
Now that I think of it, everything else you said was a lie ...
You are really ignorant and know nothing about the business world if you think Microsoft can just randomly make up numbers. Somebody misspoke or there was a typo, nothing more. The official numbers Microsoft releases are accurate.
Madden10, you are another one of those people that is willing to lie to try and attack the 360. The failure rate WAS NEVER 60% even at its worst. That is a blatant lie.
Yeah, Dutch Boogie, just like you and the rest of the hoards of PS3 fanboys that flood into every article to attack Microsoft.
Look at Saaking up there. All he ever does is lie and make crap up about Microsoft and the 360.
Hey Saaking, the 360 does have its own identity. The Xbox brand has always been about the online experience. It is a very well rounded platform, with a huge game library and many nice media features, but the online has always been its strength. ...
The number of PS3 fanboys any Halo Reach news attracts is proof of how big Halo Reach is going to be. They seem to be more concerned about it than anybody.
Halo Reach looks truly amazing. It is obvious that they are pushing things to a new level and I cant wait to play it.
Rainbow Six 3 was good, but it didn't have a fraction of the people playing it as Halo 2.
What am I going to play until Halo Reach comes out? Um let's see...all the other good 360 exclusives coming out this year, as well as whatever I get for my PS3.
The 360 has a killer lineup, with amazing games spread throughout the whole year. First up, Mass Effect 2. Can't wait.
Oh yes, just like that little thing called Windows...such a failure. /s
Jeez, can you guys get any stupider?
BTW, if the Xbox 360 is a failure, what do you call the PS3?
It's called karma, you say? Playstation fanboys have talked enough sh!t this generation and last generation to give them bad karma for the next 5 generations.
Madden10, you are full of it. A couple of developers have expressed concerns over how Natal will work, but a huge percentage of developers are throwing their support behind Natal.
I can't believe you quote one guy and then claim that devs say that the Sony wand is better than Natal.
Can you even be more biased or dishonest?
He doesn't sound like he is full of hate to me. It sounds like he is just pointing out faults with this article. I happen to agree with him.
You are being dishonest trying to equate Natal with Eyetoy. Eyetoy cannot sense in 3 dimensions like Natal can do, just for an example.
The technology is different. The approach by the companies involved is completely different. The development investment is completely different. Yet because there are some superficial similarities and because Eyetoy never had much successs you want to claim that you know Natal won't have much success. Give me a break.
@ninetailfox
Fair enough, but are you guys going to admit the same thing about multiple discs, which take even less time to switch than sitting through a mandatory install?
