Yes we are excited for the definitive version of Bioshock wih the extended story for PS3. We weren't excited for the bare bones version of last years.
First of all i had to bring MGS4 into the discussion cause i am a PS3 fan and I know you will use that as arguement against me sooner or later. Main reason why I talked about MGS4 is because that difference between this year and last year. PS3 didn't have a system seller like MGS4.
As far as accuracy there really isn't an "accurate" source since no one can knows the exact number of sales and that would also depend on the source. VG chartz even though they're estima...
I never said MGS4 was gonna be the main factor in taking down the 360. And it doesn't need a "sales spike". Last year PS3 outsold 360 despite the 360 having Halo 3, Bioshock, and Mass Effect. This year the PS3 has more games then it did last year and 360 has less quality games compared to last year. Keep in mind there is only a 5 million install base lead by the 360 right now. That really isn't much, so sales spike isn't needed as far PS3 trying to overtake 360. Gradual increa...
Sales spike comes from the games. PS3 has one must have game and that is MGS4 so far, and sill manages to out sell the 360 in a monthly basis since the beginning 2008. Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy are bigger system sellers than MGS4 so they will spike both Japan and Europe. The Japanese will cave in soon and pretty soon the Japanese install base will the differenc of 10 million units which is enough for the PS3 to overtake he 360 worldwie. Because the 360 still has what 1 million and th...
Your wrong about harddrive-less consoles sell more since only one doesn't have harddrive is the Wii. All you can put on the memory space is VC and Wiiware games and those don't take up much spac. And the 360 core doesn't sell that many. Clearly the premium sells the most. When you talk about the 360 in general it has a hardrive since that's the main one most people buy the most.
Microsoft needs to drop the core to $200 immediatey because they have no chance of getting tapping...
All companys copy. The smart ones patent more securely. Microsoft was too dumb to do that. So whos fault is it now?
Th PS3 with free online and blu-ray player doesn't need a price drop until this fall.
Don't hold your breath. If you put this disc in a 360 it would DRE. In other words it would disc read error.
They did reach the max of the 360 with Gears 1 when you see the frame rate drops. Now this time around they just maximized it with better coding. It's like the PS2 developers said they have maxed the system out in 2004 2005, but better looking games still kept coming out.
Now PS3 they're not ever using the full system yet. They'e still not using all the cores and the development tools keep getting better. That's the difference right there. The 360 basically too 2 years to go...
The people that are buying the system have not played the game because obviously they don't have a system yet to play MGS4 on.
And let me ask you when Microsoft made the excuse that they were on short supply for the first 3 months of the year for the 360 how is that any diffrent that we have now? In fact I think Sony's reason is actually legit because stores only on average got 4 MGS4 bundles and even xbox fan would admit that is not enough.
Microsoft's "su...
If the developer makes an imcomplete game then the critics will point those problems out and rate the game lower, so I don't think patches will be abused as long as there are consequences.
Game reviews are a big reason if a game is gonna sell well or not so a developer better darn well make a complete game or critcs are going to knock down a 1 or 2 pts if the game is not done.
PS3 and 360 both are well thought out. You guys stay on topic please.
PS3 hardware is great, online is what you ask for coming from PS2 because you gotta start somewhere, and games SCE had a lot of 1st party games that came out.
The only system that wasn't well thought out was the Wii. Nintedo just got extremely lucky and even they thought the system wouldn't sell well. Nintendo has the poorest online, the controller isn't very reliable, the system power is weak, an...
After the update still far behind? PSN will be roughly 90% of XBL matching feature to feature. There aren't many things missing on the PSN after the 2.4 update. And XBL is $50 a year for that 10% more and it doesn't beat every thing on PSN because there are things on PSN that XBL doesn't have either.
It's like PS2 graphics with a little bit of that next-gen lighting. It's evident here that the 360 has basically reached its limit first we see Ninja Gaiden 2, then Banjo, and now Fable 2.
Only 4 of those features aren't found on PSN including the achievements which they forgot about. The latter 2 are coming to PSN soon and the #2 and #3 in the article are coming within a year.
PSN is 90% or more as good as XBL. It's only those 4 features that make it different. XBL doesn't even have all the features that the PSN has.
There's a combination of around 11 million Gold and Silver users on XBL and it's going to stay around that number if Microsoft con...
#2, 3, and 4 are things you cannot do yet on PS3. And one thing they're forgetting is achievemnts. We know #4 and trophys are coming to PS3 soon and the #2 and #3 are coming within a year later.
Right now if your a gold member your only paying for 4 those features. There are some differences with the cross game chat but on PSN you cn talk to 6 other people on video chat so that is offet.
And they forgot to mention the things you don't get on live. XBL bei...
Hey Power of Green it's nice of you that you pay $50 for just a few features on XBL that cannot be done on the PSN. And there's features on the PSN that cannot be done on XBL.
And XBL will not get better drastialy since the 360 is already obsolete and there's no spring update.
HAHA and who paid 50 million for GTA4? 360 has no games that will expand them into the casual market.
Apology not accepted. I'm not buying Madden until they make a new engine. Screw the cartoon 18-inch arm character models. It's pathetic that the last gen games look more realistic than the current gen games.
The Wii isn't even going to get NBA 2k9.
