Because they use current world situations to make there games successful they use current conflicts to sell games and it works.. It's exploiting at it's worst for cash.. That's why they are never based in the US or something like other shooters.

It works though.. Even if it is wrong.

Would have swapped geometry Wars for Mass Effect otherwise the list is bang on the money. Halo didn't make 360 it made the Xbox though.

No you are right MS know how to sell consoles and market to the right audience. At least in US as that's where they are outside the US there typical American tactics just don't work as we ain't all gun loving Americans.

Seems Kinect couldn't help them surpass PS3 however they are finally outselling PS2 which is an accomplishment. PS3 owning the Wii in Japan and the PSP outselling all the DS combined.. But thats probably down to everybody owning a DS already lol and the fact some people are now waiting for 3DS.

RROD and console bans have gotta give them a boost I got a friend who now owns four 360s in the USA as his first 3 got banned. He claims sure he has to buy a new console every year but the amount he saves on games more than makes up for it. I don't condone piracy on the 360 but it's there and is contributing to console sales.

exactly @Infernostew money on the mark there. But there are other reasons like the fact 360 is a shooters console and USA is known as the gun capital of the world. I mean it makes sense they would buy a console where there are more games where you can kill people..

I know there is more advertising for 360 etc.. in US but why is the gap so big there compared to anywhere else?? (overall sales)
I think it's down to probably half the consoles that sold there are dead already which helps sales. Not to mention people in the US like violence more than the rest of the world so shooting games sell well thus the 360 would be the better choice.. I mean ppl can disagree with this but you guys all have a gun in your homes..

I think he meant XIII-2 AKA Versus. Even so it's amazing the amount of confirmed games for PS3 already compared to 360. I hope Kinect fails so MS can start matching PS3 again in terms of exclusives. I feel sorry for 360 gamers that MS has decided to go all or nothing on it. Reason why I want 360 to have more titles even though I don't own one? SIMPLES... All gamers deserve great games regardless of console choice (multi-platforms don't count here) but most importantly if MS are of...

Nobody will deny (except the fanboys) that Killzone will look better than them I mean K2 did. However in terms of sales I doubt it will touch Reach or Black Ops sales as to be fair all shooters sell better on the 360 and non shooters on ps3. This is due to the fact (and we all know it) 360 is a shooter fans console. You can disagree all you want but its true. 360 owns the shooter market (for consoles as PC blows even 360 away) and PS3 is a varied console and owns in terms of RPG etc.. Why you...

I'm looking at that video and thinking.. They are making Tekken fighters more Street Fighter-esqe. By that I mean they are making them faster and more fluid like street fighter and removing the skill side of the fighting. I was wondering how they were gonna do it as street fighter is a lot faster than Tekken.

Comical read and I like articles like these they give me something to laugh at.

Designing 3D levels (user created) would be a pain in the butt no doubt so its probably why it was pulled. As you might create on a 2D TV but then a 3D gamer comes along and plays in 3D and it looks messed up. This is the main problem with User Created Content. You gotta cater for all your customers. They could have made just the main story 3D but no doubt people would whine about it.

A good story can turn a game from an average game into something special.. Older FF games proved this with great storys especially FFVII the story on that game is one of the main reasons people call it the greatest RPG of all time.

Worth the pennys.. Only £20 and you can play 4 players (2 dancing 2 singing) great for a drunken party and theres nothing that you can do this on on any other system right now. It's the equivalent of Rock Band for casuals.

Well deserved too I mean sure it was poor compared to past FF games but it was good in its own right it looked great and the level up system didn't suck not to mention a half decent story.. Shame it was also bundled with Linearity that was the worst of any RPG to date.

Who cares though?? The 360 does exactly what it says on the tin. It's a great home entertainment system with plenty of great looking games. So what if the FPS exclusives can't match up?? Do you buy your games purely on graphics?? I don't think so otherwise Haze would have outsold Halo 3 and it didn't why?? Because graphics don't sell games.. Yet reviewers insist on rating this department.. They should stop reviewing graphics and start reviewing bug/glitches instead and pur...
