See exclusive stuff for ps3 is free as Sony didn't pay a dime for it exclusive stuff for 360 usually means paid because MS had to pay for the exclusivity.
Halo 1 was a great game however the franchise is so big as its MS major exclusive its like Mario to Nintendo and Sonic to SEGA it sells millions because of what it is not because of how great it is anymore. Anything with a Halo/Mario/Sonic name on it will sell millions because they are now established names with associated companys. Sony unfortunately doesn't have this person (god of war isn't Sonys as in UK its not a big hitter these titles I listed are big hitters worldwide). Sony D...
Still outsells the 360 in Japan though..
MS are desperate to get this on as many 360s as possible so desperate they have lowered the price of it on 360 in the UK to £25 RRP... They pay the difference themselves

And 2 map packs too?? Hmmmmm... This is why you pay for Xbox live I guess to get them early but you STILL have to pay fo...
Nice about attach rate.. I did notice though when buying games the 360 version of games is usually cheaper than the PS3 version recently (when the game drops to budget price of course not new releases).. Is that because the games on DVD compared to Blu-Ray? Either way multi console owners will buy the 360 version on price point and up there attach rate. Of course the more in the know gamer will prefer the better version and go for that. If there isn't much difference like with Modern Warf...
"All eggs in a basket" Comes to mind with MS this year at E3.. Though they are relying on the big 3 gears/halo/natal everything else fable etc... will be great to watch but won't be the big hitters. I reckon Sony has more to play this year after MS stole a couple of exclusives last year.
@GameZenith - at your point - Then that is your parents fault for not making sure you didn't do your homework before your games not games fault. They don't force you to play them. Parents can easily stop children playing them. TV and sports are just as much to blame in your example. You could have wrote exactly the same paragraph and replaced SNES/N64/Dreamcast with baseball or TV or whatever.
Trust an American to blame video games for there messed up education system it has nothing to do with the actual system no?? Or Parents? Or a million other things.... Sorry but I think he needs something to blame any games took the hit simple as that.
"And how come new XBOX LIVE MEMBERS don't increase proportionally with MS 360 sales? " I never noticed that before that's a damn fair point! Nothing against 360 or MS here but that is a very looked over point.. MS at last years E3 also only talked about there members signed upto live not gold members remember??
A lot of 360s have died though in the past so in homes there probably are as many 360s as PS3s. Not to mention piracy on 360 will hit sales of 360 ga...
The fact Sony was losing so much money per console on PS3's still doesn't help. We now know why Sony has been releasing so few PS3's into the world though. Because they are losing so much money they couldn't afford to mass produce as many as normal.
He is in the very few PS3 owners bracket the author of this article as most PS3 owners don't want Alan Wake. It's not even a AAA title.. Why is it how every time 360 finally get a true exclusive an article like this pops up saying PS3 fans want it?? Obviously there will be a few but if they choose to buy 360's that's there choice that's why MS pay for exclusivity. The same could be said about all the PS3 exclusives theres bound to be at least 1 person who doesn't own a...
I agree the device doesn't make the console any more fun it's all about the games.
Wow I knew people would look sill playing NATAL I didn't think they would look that silly.. I guess if your in your own home it's not so bad however that could still turn off people.
You can thank me for this people as Karma hates me right now. Why?? I traded in my copy yesterday as I finally got bored of the game HAHAHA Then this happens a new game mode... Typical! Ah well.. Got a crap load of other games to get through right now anyways..
Agreed I started playing last night and it crashed on me after 4 hours of playing... Luckilly the game auto saves regularly.
I hope so too but wish they did Atelier Rorona more :(
Imagine Fifa Football without a controller on Natal?? Sorry but that just wouldn't work.. I think they would be equally excited about Natal and Move that statement I agree with in the fact both will bring EA a crap load of cash. However I just think you will see a lot more games support MOVE than NATAL.
@Saga Kin - tha'ts probably because of the bad press MS got after the last E3 with the whole fake booth incident they never want a repeat of that ever again. So instead of showing the real thing they will show all they can which includes actors etc... Until they got a real working retail copy to send out to people... Or at least close to it. As we have seen here on N$G they keep changing it from adding stuff like auto tilt and power. Of course they will also want to lower the cost to make...
They announced they were still working on TIV ages ago its not a dead project and hasn't been for some time..
Under 1 million in a month for splinter cell conviction on 360 its not a AAA if it doesn't sell 1 million in its 1st month right? At under half a million it doesn't look like its gonna sell 1 million its it's 1st month of sales either..
