He over exaggerates things he didn't like about the game.
Say... things he found fault with. Where have I heard this before...
You're saying you wouldn't like to hear about the bugs in a game or design issues it might have?
If a game is awesome, I don't need to hear 5 pages about it. I will play the game, and find out for myself.
Heaven forbid critics actually criticize a game. That's why I watch Yahtzee. He's the only one that criticizes every game he plays.

1. to censure or find fault with.
2. to judge or discuss the merits and faults of

Way too early for E3... If you have a working model at E3, it should be ready by x-mas. More likely CES or GDC or TGS(maaaaaybe).
That's assuming it's coming summer 09. Early 09 could be anything. This holiday, almost definately E3.
I think Xbox 2.5 would have worked, but the large numbers make it not register as something that's just an update of the xbox 360. If someone said PS2.5, you'd probably think an update to the PS2.
I think in theory it was an ok title, but it came out looking completely different.
The average life cycle of most game consoles is only 5-6 years.
How would keeping with that average hurt games? Personally, having a console go longer is stupid, because regardless of architecture it will look dated compared to PC and even other consoles by then.
Take the PS3. Say the cell is fully capable by normal standards to last 10 years. Even the next year, there should be a newer better Cell chip that will have better performance.
Any technology c...
If they redesign a slim 360, they'd probably redesign the hard drive. Maybe switch it to a solid state, or some sort of vertical drive. They might start producing 2 kinds of hard drives, or they might just release an adapter to plug in new hard drives to old 360s, or design the new 360 with the old hard drive in mind.
There's plenty of ways to work around the hard drive, and they have a whole year to get there.
No reviewers these days say anything bad about games. Sure they'll mention a sentence or two about what they didn't like, but everyone seems to do nothing but praise games that have a big budget.
It happened with Halo 3 and Mass Effect too.
If a game is good I'll find out for myself. If a game has bad things in it, those are the things I want to know before I buy it. It'll also tell you a lot more about a game than the good stuff.
I probably would have j...
Did you not notice that when M$ reported shortages, they lost, but when they predicted shortages would be over by march the month before, they won.
M$ has a better right/wrong ratio than pachter. I'd take their word before his tbh.
"sn't it also funny that when you present a valid argument on this site, or make a points that can't be argued against, certain people on this site just disagree and try to start battles about lesser topics such as how many bubbles one has?"
"So I cant believe Socom is better than gears???....thats software were talking hardware right now...start on subject"

If you know what the NPD is and that pachter is an american analyst, why did you flame bladestar with a comment saying that America doesn't matter?
Flame the article if you don't care about american sales. If you're going to flame Bladestar, at least make it relative to Bladestar.
Official numbers from M$
360 - 19 million as of April 25

Numbers for PS3
PS3 - 12-13 million depending on source and time period
Couldn't find official data from Sony on totals, just on yearly sales.
Maths, do them.
so you found a firm that tracks european sales now did you? care to share?
I have heard many many people say exactly that.
It's still going to be less successful than it could/would have been a year ago.
Killzone had so much hype coming into this gen, then it just dropped off the face of the earth for a while. When it was announced even I was excited for it, now I barely think about it.
He didn't say "oh the game is ok" or "I wish we could have done better". He said that his team overestimated the PS3 hardware, and couldn't achieve goals because of it. That is not modesty.
you better hope not.
Delaying killzone 2 was one of the worst thing's sony could have done this gen. It was an amazing looking game at launch. It was a pretty great looking game when Bioshock came out. It's going to be a pretty good looking game next year.
I've said it once, and I will say it again. Delays are going to kill killzone 2 in the long run. If it released last fall, killzone 2 would probably be the only game people played online until now, or even MGS4. And then still, it would be one of t...
When you play Cod4, you actually care about the grass being animated?
I'd hate to be on your team tbh...
Consider how much money M$ spent on halo 2, and look at how long that game was.
money =/= length =/= quality. money = more people getting paid more
POINTING OUT FALLACY NOT JUDGING GAME.
There's a lot of europe that isn't UK Spain or France. In fact most of it is not UK Spain or France.
Using applied geography in every day life ftw! Suck it highschool.
