By next Christmas, 360 will have Mass Effect, Bioshock, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Forza 2, Too Human, GTA 4, Fable 2, oh, and a little game called Halo 3. Chances are, MS will drop the price of the 360 by then, as well, and probably offer a Halo 3 bundle (maybe with an exclusive, different colored 360, a la the xbox halo bundle) So, just because the average consumer might be able to walk into a store and find a PS3 sitting there for sale next Christmas doesn't mean they will buy it. The h...
Yesterday was the 65th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, we should just buy 360's since they are an American product, and boycott PS3's and Wii's, since they are Japanese, right?
Oh, wait, that sounds a little ridiculous, maybe even as ridiculous as arguing over which videogame system is "better", since that is a totaly subjective decision based on personal preference and prejudices.
Now days, people take our relationship with Japan for gran...
The 360 came out, the Sony Fanboys said, just wait 'till PS3 gets here-- then you will see next gen. PS3 got delayed-- the Sony Fanboys said, just wait-- extra dev. time, PS3 games will REALLY blow 360 away! The PS3 came out, and cross platform titles look better on 360-- Sony Fanboys say, wait until next year-- PS3 games will OWN! So, how long do we have to wait, Sony, until the Next Gen truely arrives? At this rate, we could be waiting forever!
The most uneducated 3d artist in the world. Lightning is an electrical discharge between clouds or a cloud and the ground. I think LIGHTING is the word you were after there. Also, I have noticed that most people who say "...so I know what I'm talking about" are actually far more likely to be full of sh1t.

1. Just because the Developers HAD more time to work on the PS3 version of Fight Night, doesn't mean they used it. If you think about it, it doesn't make economic sense for them to spend more time on it (being a cross-platform title) when they could start working on the next version for both consoles or a new game altogether.
2. IT IS a fact that most people, websites, magazines, etc. with the means that have compared games that are on both the PS3 and 360 give the nod to the...
Sony said they'd launch in spring. They Failed
Sony said they'd have 8 million. They Failed.
Sony said "world-wide launch." They Failed.
Sony said a lot of stupid sh1t they couldn't back up. THEY FAILED
If MS gets 10 million 360's out there, and Sony is still struggling to produce enought PS3's to meet demand, the net effect is this: 360 will pull away even further, PS3 will never be able to catch up. Why will the 360 pull away? More, better exclusive games and features. It has been said over and over (so I won't reiterate the whole argument here) that the 360 has already cemented itself as the lead dev platform for companies making games for both the PS3 and 360. So even if PS3 IS more...
Gears is too short. Period. I beat the game on hardcore, then insane, and played through the whole thing co-op split screein in insane mode as well, and logged about 50 or so online games.... and now I see very little reason to play more, except online. I understand that a game so good-looking, with very few repeated textures, advances lighting and shaders, etc. is probably limited in size by the scope of those amazing graphics, but it just came and went to quickly for me. I am now anxiou...
Especially Sony, but they sure aren't going to talk about how badly they fuc#ed up, are they? I work at a Gamestop, and as time goes on since the launch, fewer and fewer people are calling and asking if/when we will have PS#'s for sale (Sony STILL hasn't sent us enough to cover the 16 pre-orders we took), but more and more people call asking when we will have Wii's in stock, and we sold out of 360's this last weekend for the first time in months (we had 18 regular and 12 core!) Gamestop/EB b...
So far, according to various outside sources, Sony has only sold around 300,000 PS3's, about 25,000 of which are still for sale on ebay or other online auction sites. This DOESN'T include systems being sold in local papers, local internet boards, etc. I work at a Gamestop, and we STILL haven't gotten the 16 systems we were told to take reservations for. (Well, actually, Sony told us we would get 20, we took 16 reservations because Sony ALWAYS over-promises and under-delivers, but we only go...
That link is to what was basically Sony's press release on the subject. You think they would admit he was being moved for fu@#ing up the PS3 launch? Of course not. But look at the timing, the news about devs abandoning the Sony ship, the PSP selling like sh1tcakes, M$'s 10 million system lead, the fact that they will fall even FURTHER behind in Europe, problems with the PS3's they ARE managing to sell, etc. KEN GOT FIRED, basically, and has been sent off in discrace until he can be put ou...
But check Sony's stock prices-- still falling. They lost around a hundred million dollars because of laptop battery recalls, they can't make enough PS3's, and the ones they make aren't working as promised (they can't show all HD formats even when hooked to a Sony television? WTF?) People who are getting PS3's just resell them and sure as hell aren't buying any Blu-ray movies to watch on them, and the PSP is almost finished as a piece of hardware. So, Sony might not be completely finished, b...
In, like 2009, when Sony can finally maybe make a game that looks close enough to the CGI B.S. they passed off as gameplay 2 years ago? Why no new video of this awesome game, if it has been in development all this time, it should look awesome right now, shouldn't it? Why wouldn't Sony show some footage to counteract these negative comparisons? Just wondering...
With their loose-lip comments about how superior the PS3 is supposed to be. The thing is, if no one can tell, doesn't that mean they were basically full of sh1t? Not trying to start a flame war here, but this whole comparison thing came out of Sony's comments of "the next gen starts when we say it does," which, apparently, still isn't here yet. Maybe in 2008 when MGS4 comes out?
That videogames are a BUSINESS. Microsoft is already making a little money on the 360 itself, selling more accessories and games, and has a decent installed base. Sony is losing its a$$ on every PS3 they manage to produce and sell, and people aren't buying many games and accessories yet. But, everyone in the industry agrees-- the games are the important aspect of the equation. Better exclusive games or the better version of multi-platform games on your systems means you sell more systems,...
Notice how Sony hasn't stepped up to address/find a solution for any of these problems? All along, (most recently with the problems involved in the video downloads), if their was a problem with the 360, Xbox live, or a service they provide, Microsoft immediately responds to the problem and as soon as they can, releases a fix.
Yes, Sony cannont deliver what they promised-- we already knew that. Their "first" generation games, which because of the system's delay, have been in development (some, not all) as long as 360's "second" generation games, don't look as good as they "should" or were expected to look. The important thing is this: xbox 360 WILL BE the main development platform for multi-system titles. So even if the PS3 eventually shows that it is more powerful, the majority of...
The largest launch of a videogame ever. I work at a Gamestop, and we took over 1,000 preorders for Halo 2 (3rd highest in the Country). For our midnight release, we had to hire extra security, the Red Bull girls showed up and were handing out free drinks to the people in line-- over 700 by the time we opened! We had so many boxes, with both limited and regular edition copies, that we couldn't get things set and open right at midnight, so I turned the xbox demo-unit towards the windows (the...
You left out some FACTS from your rumor file-- It is a FACT that Sony claimed they would have a simultaneous, world-wide launch. They simply couldn't pull it off. Microsoft did, not without problems, but they said they would, they followed through. It is a FACT that Sony cut its launch allocations TWICE and then didn't deliver even 200,000 units to the U.S. FACT-- PS3 launch titles are receiving lower review scores, not JUST because they games are the same as the 360 versions in a lot of c...
