Can we all just smile a little and enjoy the video for what it is?
I'm an XBOX360 owner, but I couldn't resist.
Smile, laugh, and enjoy.
We all just need to relax when the venom starts spewing on this site.
These are just games, and no more than that.
Enjoy your systems and enjoy the games.
It's the best time to be a gamer.
Smile, relax, and Happy New Year to you all...
Look guys, I notice that you like to bust The Mart and Bloodmask's balls all the time, but understand that this so-called "war" is all in fun. Stop taking it all so seriously.
The Sony Playstation 3 is going to have a great 2008. There's no doubt about that. But to assume that Microsoft and Nintendo will just sit back and allow them to gain more Market Share is a joke. You KNOW that they'll do whatever it takes to combat the strong titles from Sony.
In ...
Microsoft and the XBOX360 are so smart that it's funny.
Prior to the Christmas Season, the fanboys were all screaming for Microsoft to drop the price of the XBOX360 to a lower level than the initial price drop. Instead, they released the XBOX Arcade Edition, and seemingly got on the same monetary level as the Nintendo Wii.
Microsoft is thinking...
"Why put all of our eggs in one basket? Why shoot our load now? Let's save some bullets for 2008."
...
Look, I'm a self-professed XBOX360 supporter, and even I can admit that Uncharted looks like a GREAT game. It may be a little short in length, but it still looks like a game worth having.
Where Sony dropped the ball (and I noticed someone mentioned it earlier in this thread) was through multiplayer. The replay value on Uncharted is ZERO because once you go through the story, regardless of how great the storyline is, there's absolutely NO replay value to playing it again.

You're the first person to notice that. You are correct. I LOVE that show!
I can appreciate everyone that comes on here daily and gives their opinion on the state on the Console Wars. But if you're on this site regularly spewing hatred of all sorts about the rival console and haven't purchased EVERY AAA title for YOUR own console, I think that you're a fraud.
In other words, if you're a PS3 backer, and you don't own Heavenly Sword, Assassin's Creed, Warhawk, Ratchet & Clank, Oblivion, and Uncharted, YOU my friend, are fraudulent and shouldn't be a...
This site is fun to be a part of, but some of the "arguments" just don't add up.
Look, even I'll admit that the PS3 has got some heavy hitters coming out in 2008. MGS4, Killzone 2, and Little Big Planet (which I believe will be the sleeper hit of 2008). But fellas, understand simple mathematics. The XBOX360 is approximately 7-8 million consoles ahead of the PS3. The PS3 is coming up short every single month and is lucky to even MATCH the XBOX360's sales on a month-to-...
So, the October NPDs were not exactly great for the PS3, but Sony was quick to announce, via mainstream media press outlets that things were looking WAY up for their struggling next-gen console. They quoted sales numbers that were actually a decrease for the first week of November and sales numbers the second week of November that were less than lackluster. This has been heavily discussed in other threads, so if it interests you just do a search and you will find it all.

Keep in mind, I only submitted the article because I thought that it was interesting and would promote conversations of a different sort. And the introduction above was lifted from the article itself.
But if you must know, I recently downloaded UNO and the classic MYST onto my Treo 700wx.
Great games. Both of them.
As you can see, I'm old school (smile).
90,000+ Copies of a supposedly Triple "A" Title in Ratchet & Clank. Great reviews, superb graphics, strong advertising, and a generation of fans of the series. And it only manages to sell just over 90,000 copies.
That's trouble.
Why? Imagine you're a developer and you are eagerly anticipating releasing your title on the PS3 soon. The excitement of price drops, the Christmas Season, and the plethora of PS3 titles will pave the way for your title that...
Let me first give props to the Sony Fanboys and the European sales over the last couple of weeks. Pretty good. Not stellar, but pretty good. Although at this rate, it would take more than 2+ years to catch the XBOX360.
But look closely at the numbers.
There's a 15% DECREASE from last week. That's not good.
Shouldn't there be an increase in business? How do the numbers go backwards when the price drop has been in effect for more than a couple weeks ...
A guy in the comment section of the website that this article came from had a pretty interesting take on things. I was so impressed, I dragged it over to N4G for you all to check out. Gotta give him credit. It's one of the most comprehensive explanations I've heard yet. We should recruit him to come to this site. Read below:
I came across this interesting rumor on Gamespot today hinting at the possible future for the Xbox 360...
"The reign ends in October with the new sku, X-Bots!"

Look everyone. We've been through this before. Sony makes a price drop, Sony fans come running for a week or two, and then they disappear. We've been here before. Am I the only one that sees that the difference is more than 300,000 (in XBOX360's favor) in the US alone? Do you know how long it would take for the PS3 to catch the XBOX360 at that pace? They're more than 7 million consoles behind! And you're all celebrating a margin of 30,000 units? Now THAT'S grasping for any positive informatio...
EVERYTHING IS SHAPING UP EXACTLY THE WAY THAT I PREDICTED...
Listen Sony Fanboys. I feel your pain. If I paid $600.00 for a system that is going to go the way of the Sega Saturn and the Sega Dreamcast, I'd do everything I could to disguise the truth too.
Here's the REAL truth:
Halo 3 drops on Tuesday. Christmas is around the corner. These reviews that dropped today only solidifies what I knew was going to happen.
1st - The XBOX360 Hardware Sales sta...
Come on fellas.
Let's be honest here.
Sony is not just desperate, they're terrified.
The Playstation Franchise has been the centerpiece of the Sony Corporation for years now. The employees, shareholders, and Wall Street all have been dependent on this franchise for generations. And during those generations, Sony has taken all of you Sony Fanboys for granted. They figured that if they released a new console, you "lemmings" would follow them to the promise...
I love when people come on here and give honest, intelligent, unbiased opinions about the console war. Thanks, Gamer Forever. The Sony Fanboys feel that they have to attack you personally because they can't counter against anything that you've said. I read your initial post on the website yesterday, and it speaks volumes. You have to understand. There are a number of people on this website that aren't intelligent enough to give a REAL argument without getting personal. That's just a sign of a...
That was impressive. I don't even know if there's anything else for anyone to say. He backed it up with facts, opinion, and intelligence all rolled into one.
Nicely written.
