You know, failure's a tough word! It didn't quite get there. I was angry with Sony at the time, but in their shoes I probably would have done the same thing. They did a tremendous job – and it's a story they repeated in 2005 with Killzone – where they promised the consumer something they probably believed they were going to deliver, but they never did. PlayStation 2 - it was the emotion engine it was games coming to life, Real Player was going to be on there, a full network browser… and they ...
I think this is a lie if confirmed. Buy the Xbox 360 now and get ready for GTA IV DLC this Christmas ... right. And if you buy a 360 for GTA IV DLC and it doesn't come out this Christmas ... guess what ... you still own a 360.
Where's the source????
Lets get the facts straight here on what first party is. Forza 2 is a first party title as well as Viva Pinata. Too Human is a game developed by Silicon Knights and published by Microsoft. Too Human is NOT a first party title developed.
So, the list everyone is talking about ... Too Human, Viva Pinata, Lips, Gears, Banjo, Fable, Scene It, We're in the Movies for end of 08.
Too Human - NOT first party
Viva Pinata - First Party
Lips - First Party

asking friends and relatives to spare me the hurt wallet and give me games as presents :)
I'm not sure how MS plans to reinvest/reallocate but closing a studio of this calibur is difficult for everyone.
Some things to consider for Xbox 720, if there is one.
1. First Party support is critical. Bungie is now independent. Ensemble is closing. RARE has been underutilized. More $$ (it seams) has been spent on securing third party timed / full exclusives. That move is not a good long-term business plan!
2. Hardware costs are rising for en...
I will install the game's 5 GB onto my hard disc. I will then proceed to beat the game. I will then delete the 5 GB install. I will then call it a day.
Congrats Sev, I had my first daughter as well in August! It is the greatest thing in the world. Yes, my PS3 time has gone down significantly and I haven't said hello to my Xbox in forever! Its all worth it just to hold your daughter and say, yes we (including your wife) created this wonderful thing!
I don't think this was the Halo KID, no credible resources to confirm this. Anyway, its a sad to see a 'game' related death. My prayers are for the kid's family!
yup, I said next gen controls. Motion is the next logical step in peripheral control. Many have tried, but Nintendo has succeeded in making it work. You will see motion and touch being a fixed aspect of the next generation of consoles.
This is why I don't like the Wii ...
They make a system with Xbox-equivalent specs and a motion controller and create games with existing franchises
1. Motion controlled Mario
2. Motion controlled Zelda
3. Motion controlled Metroid
Sales are great ...
Wii Sports sells like crazy
Then they introduce Wii motion plus and Wii Resort. I wonder whats next
1. Motion+ controlled Mario

Folks buying the Wii are majority casual gamers. Folks buying the PS2 (still to this day) are looking at bang for buck. With the PS2, you get a cheap system with a plethora of solid titles in its 7+ year history.
Sorry MS, but if this is who you are trying to tap into, good luck. Yes, your system is $199.99 but you still can't attract casual gamers with an HD experience and a plethora of core titles. You can't tap the bargain bin crowd with games with launch price of $59.99...
Haven't we heard this before ... i'm not saying its not true but I know I've heard this before!
rational thoughts amongst irrational gamers ... on N4G ... yes ... very possible
A 360 cut is a good thing for gamers! It keeps the competition going as well!
Even if the 360 arcade unit came with a Wiimote like device, it still will not overtake the Wii in sales (@ 250 a pop)!
reserve judgement for release build versus release build comparisons!
Call of Duty 6: Fall of Man ... err .... wait ... starring Nathan Spartan!
brilliant promo ... my PSP will be happy to play this ... legally :)
Only on Xbox 360 or Only on PS3 is just text these days with the exception being first party exclusives.
Bioshock has disproved this exclusivity title as well as FFXIII!
I do agree with you. MS missed that window of 'sales opportunity' for GTA IV. Whatever the GTA IV DLC is ... it better be worth the price of admission!
