CRank: 5Score: 530

If Activision Blizzard pulls support from the PS3, other publishers like Vivendi, could follow suit and this would lead to the end of ps3.

I don't think they will go that drastic but they ARE losing a lot of money, because developing on ps3 costs in the hundreds of millions. They've even complained about the middleware.

What I see is certain games just going PC/360 exclusive, such as Singularity, Prototype or other games and them ramping up their Wii games. I co...

Tough luck.

Splinter Cell 5 Conviction really is being maxed out on the 360 hardware and the series is exclusive.

Everything in the game was utilized to max out the 360's GFLOPs floating point A.I., to give this game the best stealth A.I. you can possibly get so that each enemy soldier reacts realistically.

It couldn't be done on the ps3 even if Ubi Soft wanted to do it.

The only way that Splinter Cell will arrive on ps3, is in a spi...

From the extra iPhone to the PSP Go the new 360 SKU isn't really changing the system nor is it a new console, it's basically a bundled brand new packaged SKU which will likely have more memory or hard drive space, and the natal packed in with it.

Not built in or attached there to the unit, this article makes a lot of baseless assumptions. All it means is there will be a new hardware SKU, just like every time they put out a new arcade model or re-design like the Jasper. Jasper m...

"The Xbox360 didn't hang on and the ps3 is selling faster"

Like it or not, the Xbox360 is continually outselling the ps3 in Europe by HUGE amounts. Even in places like Italy where it NEVER sells.

It also has A LOT MORE GAMES out now, actually being played for it including AAA titles like Mass Effect, Ace Combat 6, Halo Wars, and so forth.

I don't care if you HATE the Xbox360 at all, but at least get your facts straight. It has MANY more appea...

You would think that Sony defense force fanboys just got a huge vat of hot boiling acid tripped and dumped all over them, but he is correct about what he's saying and makes a very valid point.

Most of the criticisms leveled at MGS are realistic and well thought out, after all Halo is one of the most amazing stories out there. But it's not trying to go for the same feel as MGS, however it is more appealing that's all I'm saying.

It's not being totally wrong and unreason...

You heard it here first, folks. History in the making.

Breath of Fire 5 to return on Xbox360 - 3d dungeons and online gaming will never be the same again. Head to head with Sony's MMO in 2011.

I have said thy will be done, it has a very distinct future ring to it already.

You're a damn strange delusional little fanboy, and quite the sore loser "Monte" or whatever you call it.

Why in the holy blazes, would I want to turn in my broken console for $70 *AT ALL* when it's basically working perfectly fine, running smashing hit games like Ace Combat 6, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil 5 at 60 FPS with absolutely no break in the fun?

Of course, I could see why some people do that- always. They get a broken syste...

Basically the original Xbox sold... as for the 360, since it had several console shortages during those timeframes sony likes to hype that up alot for the usual fodder reasons. Still sold a bit faster though, where 360 had equal to ps2 months. Especially on Soul Calibur/Half Life Orange Box/Tales of Vesperia launch days....

So yeah, and Halo 3 plus Call of Duty are still in the top 20 for 360 as well as another game. After years.

This is plain sad. I bought an orig...

I can only openly admit the truth finally that yes, Metal Gear Solid 4 was an epic amazing game. The best game on the Playstation 3 by far.

And definitely not better than Halo or Fable or Half Life since that's all subjective....But just simply one of the best games of this generation.

The truth itself is Splinter Cell 5 is only amazing and gripping because MGS4 was amazing and gripping, and I will be there to buy it in addition to Metal Gear Solid Rising on day ...

Just because the war may come to a close soon, does not mean we can't savor the moments and simply enjoy the games.

Yes, Nintendo somewhat won by default and the 360 won. But there are a lot of excellent games out to play and soon Splinter Cell arrives, a new Lost Odyssey, the magical wonder of Halo Chronicles, a brand new Halo Reach and of course more greatness from Silicon Knights with the return of Too Human 2 and his brand new epic projects.

And on top of all...

You Sony droids are afraid of the truth, that is that PS3 is dead last in Europe, Australia and North America & that's going to continue because Forza Motorsport is teaming up with Audi.

On top of that, the droids are aware that Project Natal is real and is going to revolutionize gaming. Some of the games already tearing up the scene with that technology, includes Burnout Paradise. 32 million 360's worldwide and growing all seeing Natal at the same time, that is what I call...

The great majesty of Star Ocean 4: Last Hope sold over 210,000 copies in Japan and many Xbox360's which means the 360 now has a userbase of well over 1 million 20,000 units which is hardly just a drop in the pond.

30% of new 360 owners picked up Star Ocean 4 upon release, and also later picked up Blue Dragon platinum hits.

Therefore the potential for extra sales of the Final Fantasy XIII game in Japan is huge for Square-Enix, possibly as many as 400,000 extra un...

Microsoft is going to do whatever they can to get some strong sales in Japan, paying for an arrangement of FF13 on 360 seems to be one of the best roads to getting there too.

Sorry Sony droids, it appears MS has beat Sony to the punch in the land of the rising sun again. The sales for the 360 version will be huge next to the PS3 version.

That and it would make complete sense, that Microsoft is going to have some more exclusives lined up so that the 360 can catch up...

It's Forza Motorsport which is a better game than Gran Turismo, it has a huge and very rabid fanbase.

It's got more cars than Gran Turismo ultimately will have, so it seems justified people are going nuts over it. It's more of a sim racer than the competition.

They're going to talk trash because that's what companies like Sony do and do quite often.

Seems to me the only one who's really going to care is the sony fans who apparently don't have as th...

Forza Motorsport is the better game, and sony -ites are afraid of this reality.

Microsoft does own publishing rights. Microsoft doesn't own publishing rights for any other Epic Games, but they did nail them down for the Gears series. Gears of War is expected to only be a trilogy similar to Halo, and when Microsoft secured a publishing deal that means no Gears of War for playstation 3.

Pretty smart move too, since Gears will sell a whole lot across europe. And it is one of those games that is actually a second party effort instead of third party. So no dou...

I don't know what you are commenting about, I finally played Resistance. Its an okay game, but the enemies it has are nowhere near what goes on in Halo 3 or Battlefield 1942.

Anyone preaching something like that is out of their mind. Battlefield1942 for the 360 has huge war torn arenas going on everywhere, helicopter gun battles, ships, and so much filling the space of the game that it nearly bursts open.

As for the likely top selling ps3 game, metal gear, I ha...

They will tell you based on the hive mind that its doing better, when it really isn't.

They will absolutely claim with no facts at all, that their console is the best just because the original ps1 sold the most.

Of course, none of these factors take the bottom line into account nor the apparent dismal sales of their brand into account.

Xbox360 software has almost always sold more than PS3 software, worldwide. Even the most cheap ports like Burnou...
