Sony Fans will shout praise to the highest heights when they deem it to be appropriate. How many times did we hear that Gran Turismo 5 has ALREADY outsold Forza 3? But sales don't matter, right? BULL.
This "Console War" is ALL ABOUT WHAT CONSOLE OUTSELLS THE OTHER. And the beauty is, Microsoft is already hovering around 50 Million Consoles sold. Meaning, they're winners already. To make that large a jump from one generation to the next is astounding. So let&...
I laugh at new tactics:
"They'll never beat Nintendo though!"
"Playstation has a NAME in Gaming."
"They're abandoning the hardcore."
"Our exclusives KILL anything Microsoft can put out."
My fellow XBOX360 Fans, the Console War is OVER. It ended the minute the XBOX360 Slim was released. That was the minute the lead (which was trimmed to 3.5 million consoles) started to widen again. You see:
...
You see, you used an old trick MULTIPLE TIMES in your post that PS3 Supporters use regularly. Deflection. This article is about THE PLAYSTATION 3. Once an article comes out that explains Microsoft's mistakes, have at it. But I'll bite anyway. :-)
Who cares if PS3 came out a year later. So did the Wii. And WITHOUT Market Share.
Uncharted & Rockstar Exclusive? From LAST generation? They didn't EXIST last generation. You're trying too hard. And GT5 an...
SONY LOST THIS GENERATION.
I'll say it again.
SONY LOST THIS GENERATION.
Hopefully it sank in that time.
The JUGGERNAUT of the last two generations is playing catchup with a company that was dead in the water after the mediocre selling Gamecube (Nintendo), and a company that is new to the Console scene with a console that had a 33% Failure rate and a mediocre selling console (XBOX1) prior to (Microsoft).
...
Way to deflect attention from my posts. Old trick in the PS3 Fanboy Catalog. :-)
Did you COMBINE the other Sony Consoles for Market Share?
Where is the Major Franchise? I said MAJOR.
Are you saying 32 Players makes PSN better than XBOX Live?
BluRay doesn't read slowly? REALLY?
And everything else was deflected with ANOTHER topic entirely. Sad.
YOU CAN'T respond to my post. Because it's factual. And you try ...
Losing all of its Market Share from the last two Generations falling from first to last.
No Major Franchise (other then multiplats) unlike Microsoft and Nintendo.
Copies its competitors ideas instead of innovating.
PSN lags behind XBOX Live, even though Microsoft is only on its second console.
Move's Sales are anemic and slow. Sony releasing Shipped Numbers to cloak the truth.
All Multiplats are mediocre in comparison to XBOX360 Versions.
Th...
Let's all remember:
Motion Control SUCKED. Until Move was released.
XBOX360 was the "Shooter Box". Until PS3 got more shooters than XBOX360.
Acheivements were a waste of time. Until Trophies.
No one should pay for Gaming. Until Playstation Plus.
Sales don't matter. Until GT5 sold millions (allegedly).
PS3 Fans are the HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY. And they hate that they were WRONG about Kinect. It's an amazing system. Not ...
Every time Halo's Sales are brought up, Sony Fans use:
"It's Quality Over Quantity."
"Sales Don't Matter."
"I Don't Play Sales, I Play GAMES."
But let's remember that Halo Games RATE HIGH and Halo Games SELL HUGE.
Gran Turismo 5 is missing one key component in that equation. :-)
84 on Metacritic. Mediocre game. SUCKS, huh?
Because Forza Games OUTRATE Gran Turismo Games.
Because Polyphony Digital doesn't listen to their Fanbase.
Because the Gran Turismo Series is long in the tooth.
Because Polyphony Digital (like Sony) COPIES the competition instead of innovating.
Because Turn 10 are aggressive and innovative.
Because XBOX Live has a Superior Online Component.
Because Turn 10 specializes in PREMIUM CARS.
Because it will have a Kinect Option.
...
Is it even still in the Top Ten?
Didn't Final Fantasy XIII come out MONTHS ago? Looks like straw-reaching to me. :-)
Can we stay current here?
Japan didn't buy the XBOX360 Version of Final Fantasy XIII.
A mediocre game that has an 82 on Metacritic.
Why would ANYONE buy ANY GAME that is mediocre and scores that low?
It proves it's not very good.
Forgettable.
Second-rate.
If a game ...
The Playstation 3 (based on name alone) was supposed to CRUSH the XBOX360 upon release.
With FREE online, XBOX Live users were supposed to gravitate to the console to "escape" having to pay.
The Playstation 3 was supposed to have "Toy Story-like Graphics" and play in 1080p and a higher framerate.
The Playstation 3's BluRay Player was supposed to render the XBOX360's DVD9 obsolete.
The Playstation 3 SLIM was to put the PS3 on equal fo...
@FGHFGHFGH - Do you REALLY think that TGS and Gamescom are bigger than E3? Based on ATTENDANCE? Really?
Uh... No.
ALL OF THE BIGGEST ANNOUNCEMENTS AND ATTENTION TAKES PLACE AT E3. ONLY A FANBOY WOULD DENY THAT. THE OTHER CONVENTIONS ARE SECONDARY. THE MEDIA PAYS FAR MORE ATTENTION TO E3 THAN TO THE OTHERS.
Let me ask you this:
"How many links do you see for a live broadcast feed for either of those events during each Console...
@BlackTar187 - VERY NICE! "The Greatest American Hero". Ironically. :-)
No, America ISN'T the World. But Sony has multiple consoles to sell product from for EA. The PS3, the PS2, and the PSP. WHAT ELSE do you think he's going to say? Are PS3 Fanboys really that dense? You don't think Sony wants America? The Market that buys the most Gaming Products in the World? Please.
Here's a reminder:
AMERICAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO GAMING - THE LARGEST GAMING MARKET IN THE WORLD
THE BIGGEST AND BEST DEVELOPER...
(Speaking slowly...)
Forza 3 has CRITICAL ACCLAIM as well as STRONG SALES.
Gran Turismo 5 has STRONG SALES and MEDIOCRE reviews (84).
Do we understand now?
Or do sales matter all of a sudden?
The Forza Series has already passed Gran Turismo.
Mass Effect has already passed Final Fantasy.
And Bayonetta is better than God of War.
And Twisted Metal will flop.
And Devil May Cry need...
Forza Flop. Nice word usage. I think I've only heard that phrase used about four MILLION times. You know, the approximate number of copies Forza 3 has sold to date.
Also, about the same number of copies that Uncharted 2 (American Developer) has sold. :-)
So let me guess, you're saying that Forza is a "flop" by placing it up against the sales of Gran Turismo 5. Right? You Silly Wabbit. Tricks are for kids.
Forza has a Higher ...
@Action Bastard - I love the constant name calling. Wonderful. It proves that even YOU don't believe what you're saying and even YOU are getting frustrated with the truth.
Read my original post.
It says, "THE BIGGEST GAMES THIS GENERATION".
But I guess a guy named "Action Bastard" can't be sought upon to read correctly. Not having a Father and all. :-)
America (and the West in General because B...
@Action Bastard - You're only proving my point. AMERICA (the country that you're trying to downplay that you hate so much) has created the BIGGEST GAMES, the HIGHEST RATED games, and the BEST games.
And you answer back with random studios in random countries. And sorry, Japan may have been a force years ago, but they're not anymore.
AMERICA has the best collection of Developers that have created the BIGGEST franchises in ONE COUNTRY.
Kinect is a MONSTER. It's dominating Gaming at the moment. And once again, Sony Fans can't STAND the fact that more attention is being paid to XBOX360 than the BluRay Player.
"It's no better than the Eyetoy!"
"$500 Million in Marketing!"
"RROD!"
"It's the cheapest console on the Market!"
WAAH... WAAH... WAAH... Babies. All of you.
Grow up. The Console War is OVER....
