PS3 had ONE title in the Top 10 in Japan. Final Fantasy XIII. Multiplat.
One title in the Top 10 in America. Modern Warfare 2. Multiplat.
And two titles in the Top 10 in Europe. Both multiplats.

Watch closely. This is called "Self-Deprecation".
My own personal quotes:
"Microsoft should have NEVER released the XBOX360 so early. RROD was a MAJOR problem. Although the issue may be dwindling, it still is a hindrance for its fanbase."
"Microsoft charges too much for its downloads. I shouldn't be paying for Avatar Clothing and the like. I pay for XBOX Live. That should be enough."
"Project Natal ...
If VGChartz are to be believed (and the PS3 is shown to outsell the XBOX360 in 2009, therefore, I'm sure it will be), it substantiates a few things:
This generation is OVER. If PS3 can only outsell the XBOX360 by 2.3 million consoles in a year when Microsoft didn't release any huge games and the desperate releasing of the PS3 Slim was unveiled, then PS3 should throw in the towel and focus on profitability.
The PS3 really DOESN'T sell exclusives. Uncharted 2 and K...
1. Judging by 98% of the multiplatform games, XBOX360's version looks and plays MUCH better than the PS3's version.
2. XBOX Live is universally known as being HEAD AND SHOULDERS above PSN.
3. Downloadable Content comes to XBOX360 first, and is exclusive most of the time and/or a timed exclusive.
4. The controller on the XBOX360 is ergonomically sound.
5. The XBOX Live Community is 20 million strong and always has people available for Online Gaming. 200,000 peop...
It's was their (Sony) main focus.
Games obviously weren't. And aren't.
XBOX360 got it right this generation (repeat):
1. Judging by 98% of the multiplatform games, XBOX360's version looks and plays MUCH better than the PS3's version.
2. XBOX Live is universally known as being HEAD AND SHOULDERS above PSN.
3. Downloadable Content comes to XBOX360 first, and is exclusive most of the time and/or a timed exclusive.

Can we (for once) take an impartial approach to a REAL problem in Gaming that is crossing over all platforms?
Does EVERY article have to have a "Fanboy Slant" to it?
Yes, we're all guilty of this, but how about we discuss this issue like adults and ask the question... "Is Japan Still Important To Gaming?"
I want to say "Yes", but the answer appears to be "No". Not at the current time. Japan is still stuck in ...
I felt so sorry, that I wrote a song about it. And it rhymes!:
The Playstation Franchise was once a juggernaut, the big man on the block,
Many different consoles wanted their title, but Playstation had it ON LOCK.
The Gamecube, XBOX 1, Dreamcast, and even CD-I gave strong efforts, but the fight was to no avail,
Because Playstation had the top reviews, a plethora of great games, and most importantly, had great sales.
But then, a new console arrived on...
It's obvious to me and everyone else in the Gaming Community that the game is a flop. Not only will it fail in sales figures, but it'll fail in reviews also.
I am just waiting for a "prominent" PS3 Supporter to give a little honesty, staying on topic, criticizing the game thoroughly. Without being hindered by the handcuffs of being a PS3 Fanboy.
It's an opportunity for a PS3 Fan to see the light and actually give an honest critique of a crappy PS3-exclu...
This is all you need to judge on how "awesome" the graphics are for MAG.

They are TERRIBLE. Only possible on the Playstation 3.
And this game is destined for the bargain bin.
The sooner that you PS3 Fans accept it, the sooner we can all move on to the next flop that PS3 will be releasing this year. Unfortunately, that ...

The PS3 allegedly outsold the XBOX360 by over 100,000 this week in Japan. These are the software numbers for Japan.
JAPAN (PS3's Home Country)
01. [WII] New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo)

PROCCESSER?
It's a Processor.
Sony Fans are too stupid to notice that.
Or they still suffer from "Blind Fanboyism" and can't even see.
Sad.
Call me when a REAL article surfaces. :-)
The Playstation 3 initially sold at a whopping price of $599.00. It contained all of the bells and whistles, and the much sought after Backwards Compatibility. They bragged about the components included in their newest console and "poo-poo'd" the competition.
The figureheads at Sony gave us quotes like:
"The next generation starts when we say it does."
"People will get second jobs for a Playstation 3."
And they failed. MISERA...
My favorite part:
"I'm an Xbox gamer because I have to be. Microsoft hijacked the game industry, beat Sony at its own game and pulled the most software (and by extension, most gamers) into its orbit. Now, we're stuck in its gravitational pull, tumbling like asteroids."
Classic. And true.
You see PS3 Fans, the truth is right in front of your faces. The XBOX360 is the standard. The PS3 is the alternative. Dual console owners buy all of their multip...
XBOX Live is the standard.
PSN is the wannabe.
The Wii Remote is the standard.
Sony Motion Control is the wannabe.
Achievements are the standard.
Trophies are the wannabe.
And what has PS3 innovated this generation?
Nothing. Nathan. Nada.
Here's ANOTHER reason PSN is a pretender to XBOX Live. XBOX Live continues to innovate and give users reasons to subscribe to the service. PS3 Fans are delusional as always. If any T...
It's going to be AWESOME.
And have you noticed that NO ONE is talking about the Sony Motion Controller? Will they delay that too?
Can you imagine the onslaught of positive press that Microsoft is going to get from releasing this in the Fall? And that's AFTER the heavy hitting games that will be unleashed this year? With Halo: Reach fresh on everyone's minds?
The PS3 Slim is ALREADY looking a little long in the tooth. You notice that PS3 Fans? It's ...
And we haven't even gotten to E3 yet.
Halo: Reach the biggest game of 2010?
Duh.
I love how this article tried to save face for Playstation 3 Owners and place God of War III in the same context as Halo: Reach.
That's like putting Whoopi Goldberg in the same context as Kim Kardashian.
2010 is a LOCK for Microsoft.
I just hope that the PS3 can hang on.
A 7 million console lead is still a HUG...
First of all, this is a lame attempt by the HipHopGamer to appear impartial. OF COURSE Mass Effect 2 is going to rule January. And February too. Yes. February too. It'll rank higher than God of War III on the charts soon after February. Watch. And by the way HipHop... It might be wise to spell the lead character's name correctly if you're going to consider yourself a legitimate force in this industry.
It's Commander SHEPARD. No "H" in Shepard. Do research.

Let's take a look at this article... Shall we Playstation 3 Supporters?
Platform expected to be the most successful in 2010:
PlayStation 3: 34%
Xbox 360: 29.9%
iPhone: 10.2%
Wii: 9.3%
Others: 16.6%
When you're on the bottom failing, there's only ONE way to go... UP.
The Industry didn't even notice 2009. It's obvious that it was the absolute WORST year of Gaming in this generation, and Playstation 3 only closed the...
