Something tells me that Forza 3 might score higher than Gran Turismo 5 on Metacritic.
Gran Turismo 5 will UNDOUBTEDLY outsell Forza 3 worldwide.
So basically, no one on here can praise Gran Turismo 5's sales when it releases.
If Forza 3 reviews better, it's a better game.
Correct?
You see, it's that lack of rationale that stops us all from "moving the ball forward" on this website.
Let me get this straight...
If Forza 3 outsells GT5, it's because XBox owners are lemmings.
If GT5 outsells Forza 3, it's because it's a better game.
If Forza 3 reviews better than GT5, Microsoft paid ALL of the reviewers.
If GT5 reviews better, it's a better game.
You're kidding right?
PLEASE tell me that...

But I would rather wait for reviews from the more reputable sites than read reviews from Playstation-exclusive sites, AceGamez (LOL), Meristation, and SpazioGames.
Although, Eurogamer gave it a 90.
That's a good sign.
I WOULD like to see the reviews from IGN, Gamespot, and Gametrailers though. They usually match my opinion pretty closely.
That is a fantastic trailer.
Looks good.
I've been waiting for a game to satisfy my "Oblivion" void.
I still need to wait for the reviews though.
Fingers crossed.
Look. I own both consoles. But focus for a second here...
Charging for playing online.
Downloadable content exclusively for only one platform.
Re-releasing and bundling old classics.
RROD.
Remanufacturing a console to a $299 price point after millions spent $600 on the original within three years.
And the members of this website STILL won't call them on the carpet.
Wow. We really are lemmings, aren't we?
If there is e...
I love N4G. It's like a site full of sports lovers. When your "team" goes on a winning streak, you shout it to the rafters. Sony just went on a winning streak. The PS3 Slim will allow them to come closer to closing the gap with Microsoft over the next year. Congrats to them.
But if you think Microsoft wasn't aware of this, you're insane.
Look at the pattern:
Hold current pricing as long as possible.
Wait for Sony's next move.

Sony is obviously working on the Slim, but NO WAY will Sony announce the Slim at this event.
I can't believe no one is looking at the facts.
There are THOUSANDS of PS3's in the retail pipeline.
An announcement of the PS3 Slim would effectively halt the sale of them all.
Then, Sony would have to work like crazy to get Slim product, pricing, advertising, etc. in stores by late November (Remember, the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year).

I work in the Building Industry here in the States and I KNOW that from personal experience.
But looking from the outside in, I see Sony working...
Activision threatening to pull support from the Playstation 3.
An obvious price drop for the Wii and potentially a new Wii HD Console.
Companies calling for a price drop.
Splinter Cell gets delayed.
History has shown that Microsoft would "win" Christmas 2009 (saleswise) without movement f...
Who are you calling a "knicker"? :-)
I think what we on N4G need to understand is that we're living in a bubble. The rest of the gaming world isn't as fascinated with statistics, graphics, and horsepower like we are.
Look at IGN.
The #1 WORLDWIDE Gaming site on the Internet.
The link below shows the Top 100 games that IGN Users are CURRENTLY inquiring about.
Look at the variation between XBOX360 and PS3 Games.
And the XBOX360 hasn't even released much this year.

No matter where you land in this "console war", you have to give props where props are due. THIS guy knows what he's talking about.
I agree with Mr. Bylund. Let's look back at the history of the Playstation. Why do we all think the PS2 was such a huge success? Take Two and its past exclusivity of GTA games was a primary driver. As soon as that was taken away, one of the main reasons to buy a Playstation was gone and sure enough, the 360 has outsold it, due to GTA and many other games (Devil May Cry was also once a PS exclusive) became non-exclusive, as well as the obviously ridiculous price.
What is the main ...
What's next? Will you ask him is an epileptic seizure another form of RUMBLE? Sheesh!
I am a self-professed XBOX360 Fan, and I joined this site to share my views and have fun regarding video games. But the recent vitriol spewed by both sides of the argument are reaching its worst levels.
And I have to admit, the worst appears to be coming from the Sony Fanboy side.
When the PS3 was outselling the XBOX360 for the first few months of 2008, everyone was going crazy. "The End is near!" "XBOX360 is doomed!" And the minute XBOX360 dr...
Look, I'm a self-professed XBOX360 fan. I don't post much, but I do contribute a fair number of articles. Over the last few months, I've noticed a trend that Sony Fanboys have to veer from immediately. That is... NOT BUYING MULTI-PLATFORM GAMES BECAUSE OF COMPARISON DISAPPOINTMENTS. Unless this changes, the XBOX360 Fanboys will win this war easily because the software sales are far more important to the developers than the Hardware Sales. If PS3 owners stop buying these multi-platform games, ...
When the NPD numbers are released tomorrow, the PS3 will be the highest selling console in America with a predicted 500,000 +/- consoles sold for the month of September. PS3's biggest month in America since launch.
However, only ONE PS3 title will be in the Top 10.
And it's a multiplat.
Batman - Arkham Asylum.
Shouldn't Sony be concerned about that?
That many consoles sold should propel the exclusives to the Top 10, sh...
