Why is it you guys never say that about all the articles that come from PS3 fanboy sites? Like that PSXtreme.com or whatever it is called. There are lots of articles that come from PS3-centric sites that say stuff that leaves the rest of us scratching our heads. Like when they claim that God of War 3 looks better than any other console game and then I look at the screenshots and videos and wonder what the hell they are talking about.

But from our perspective it is you PS3 fans who are "spreading stupidity". Every time a PS3 fan says Uncharted 2 looks "miles better than anything on the 360" I just have to shake my head at the stupidity. And trying to show you guys how you are wrong is like banging your head against the wall. It gets you absolutely nowhere.

You get on him for saying that he thinks the animation in Alan Wake is good, but I don't see why. I look at that video of Alan Wake ...

You are still waiting, you say? Oh boo hoo. How long has it even been? 10 or 11 months? You act like it has been a long time. Look at some of the games the Xbox 360 has coming up and try to tell me you are worried about the 360 keeping up graphically.

@Greywulf

I won't bother with most of your post because most of it is pure opinion, but I will correct you on one thing. Gears of War does stream load. Read this article where Insomniac discusses why Resistance doesn't look as good as Gears of War and they explain that Gears of War had texture streaming and Resistance did not: http://palgn.com.au/xbox-36...

Yeah i have to agree. This looks pretty bad compared to Gears. Gears 1 & 2 are still some of the best looking games on consoles.

Quantum doesn't look horrible, just not as good.

Ha ha I think you are right, DeathroW22.

"3 times the processing power"? ah ha ha ha lmao. Sipping way too much of the Sony koolaid my friend.

The 360 has a more powerful GPU, better unified memory architecture, an extra 10 MB of super fast EDRAM, and the DVD drive has faster read and seek times than the Blu-ray drive in the PS3. The only "advantage" the PS3 has going for it is a somewhat greater theoretical CPU top performance (if there weren't the other bottle necks), but even then it depends on...

The PS3 isn't more capable, it just has a larger storage medium which only impacts how much content can be on one disc. It has absolutely nothing to do with graphical performance or anything like that.

Gears 2 looks about as good as Uncharted 2 or Killzone 2. If you have an opinion that one looks better than the other, it is just that, an opinion. You can't completely prove which one looks better. I do think that many people are of the opinion that Uncharted 2 looks better, but let's not make it out to be something it isn't. It looks a little better overall, but you try to make it sound like there is a huge difference. It doesn't really matter too much anyway, since better looking game...

Those screenshots prove that the graphics in the Halo Reach trailer were legit. Bungie told us that they were, but some people had to go on believing that the graphics wouldn't look that good. To tell the truth some of the screen shots look even better than that trailer.

Get real. 2009 was the first time the 360 had a bit less than the PS3. Before that it was the other way around. Does that mean that the PS3 had nothing to play before 2009 or that the 360 had nothing to play in 2009? The answer in both cases is "no".

You guys have jumped on this kick that the 360 has "no games to play" simply because the gaming media largely declared the PS3 as having the better year in 2009. But that doesn't mean that the 360 had a horri...

No, "quality" is in the eyes of the beholder, thus each individual has different ideas about what is a "quality" product. Sales, better than any other data out there, tell us exactly what those individuals felt was a quality product.

This is because individuals do not buy products that they think are crap, or inferior to some other product that they could buy instead.

Ad campaigns can only take you so far. If the prod...

I get plenty of variety on my 360, if that is what you are implying. In fact, until recently that is where I did most of my RPG gaming, since the PS3 was anemic in terms of available RPGs. The 360 has a wonderfully broad variety of game types in its library--from RPGs to shooters to hack 'n slash action games. It's definitely not hurting for variety.

Just take a look at the 360's 2010 lineup. We'll get one of the most anticipated Western RPGs in the form of Mass Effect 2, fol...

Um, that's what this article is about, though. How else can you measure success? Sales show you precisely and objectively how many people wanted a certain game so badly that they were willing to spend their money on it (money is always in limited supply). If a person *chooses* to buy one game over another it implicitly means that they feel that the game they are buying is a better game.

Everything else is subjective and not provable in an objective way. Even if a game gets a...

Yep, even though I am only average at it I keep going back to Halo because it is so well made and fun. It is one of the few games from two years ago that I still feel like playing regularly.

Halo Reach is easily the more anticipated title.

It makes no sense to say that they are equally anticipated, but that Halo Reach will sell more (DRUDOG, I'm looking at you). What are you saying? That millions of PS3 owners will want God of War 3 badly, but won't have the money to buy it? Are you saying PS3 owners are poorer? I'm sorry, I know that isn't what you meant, but the statement doesn't make any sense.

Also, the term "hardcore" in the game world...

You are a sad, pathetic person. Get a life and quit hating on the 360 all day.

Why are so many radical PS3 loyalists in every Natal article? It's getting annoying.

I am really looking forward to Natal because I think the technology is exciting and has a lot of potential. There is a lot we don't know about it and of course I want to see more, but I know that will all be coming later (probably mostly around E3).

It's like being excited for a movie; maybe you have seen a few trailers and read a little bit about it, but most of it is swathed in s...
