Vgchartz goes back and changes their fake numbers after the real numbers are released by NPD.
The site is a sickening farce. Gaming doesn't need some guy pretending to do retail tracking making up sales numbers.
There is already enough garbage filling the gaming news.
@Alcon Caper
Golly, could that possibly be because Microsoft has only 3 first party development studios putting out exclusives for the 360 compared to 20 for Sony?
And it is even funnier trying to talk delays when the 360 has the most famous delayed game of all time: Too Human in addition to Alan Wake aka Alan Wait.
The PS3 has already dumped the 360 into last place in Japan.
The PS3 has already dumped the 360 into last place in Europe.
The PS3 is selling at a much faster rate than the 360 relative to when the consoles launched and at 100 to 200 more in price
All this before the 299 Slim arrived.
"If you compare the PS3, 360, and Xbox sales from launch date at the same age: "
Did you actually just post numbers from vgchartz?
And the PS3 2010 list doesn't even include:
US/Euro release of Level 5's White Knight Chronicles
The huge number of Japanese PS3 exclusives that US gamers don't know about
Insomniac's next game - they have been putting out a AAA title every single year
Bend Studios working on a new Syphon Filter
Media Molecule possibly coming out with LBP 2
NCSoft's MMORPGs
Guerrilla Games and their follow up to the ins...
So basically, more Halo milking and Crackdown 2 are the only reasons anyone would have any need of an Xbox 360 in 2010.
Microsoft's anemic first party lineup continues to leave the 360's exclusive games lineup almost barren.
There's absolutely no reason to wait to buy a console.
I've been buying launch consoles going all the way back 8 bit days. Never had a single failure. Same with every friend I've known. Have to pop my NES games in a couple times. Had to slightly move the DVD knob on by launch PS2 to get it to read God of War when it came out.
Microsoft is the only company ever to:
1. Not only create and ship a defective in design console
2. But knowingly do ...
This is isn't a debate.
The same mistaken claims were made when the first hyperthreading CPUs came out.
There is ONE and only ONE set of execution circuits. All that is duplicated are context registers and other logic to help switch back and forth quickly between logical threads.
But once again, only one thread is every running at a time. There isn't two set of execution hardware.
For compute heavy tasks - AI,physics,or any other type of co...

Sorry, no. There are two copies of context so switching between the two virtual threads is fast, but there is only one thread running at a time.
Works best for servers or tasks that are doing a lot of IO and you're threads are mostly idling waiting for data to arrive or be sent.
But take any sort of computation type work and your two virtual threads don't run at twice the speed. Just like computers with hyperthreading.
The 360's CPU can't run 6 threads simultaneously.
Only 3. 6 logical threads but there are never 6 running physically at the same time. There are only 3 physical cores.
"As you say UC2 will be dethroned very soon. I'm all good with that :D"
Not arguing with you, but I would say:
Killzone 2 - king of dynamic lighting and post processing
Uncharted 2 - king of materials
God of War - king of 'stuff going on on screen'
Heavy Rain - king of character models and overall realistic world complexity
I think that is what is amazing everyone about the PS3's graphics. Not only are the...

Wow.
This game is incredible. For anyone who doesn't know, it is the spiritual successor to the incredible King's Field games:

Recently replayed KF2 again and still find it incredible. No other game has such a dreamlike sense of desolation and melancholy.

Has absolutely nothing to do with giving anyone 'the shaft'.
Bringing games to Europe with its huge number of different countries, languages, etc. takes time.
Always been the case.
Yes, they were so proud of the custom PS3 engine early on before Wada sold out and forced them to switch to the crap multiplatform engine they are using now.
It is so depressing to think FFXIII could have been running on a Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, God of War 3, Last Guardian level engine where the SPUs were being properly used and putting out mind boggling good graphics.
Instead, Square is giving PS3 owners a downgraded graphics engine that is most likely running ent...
"Even if"
Heh, you said 'even'.
Instead of a 50 gig next gen masterpiece. Final Fantasy XIII has turned into:
> Laughably downgraded graphics from the early footage when it was running on a custom PS3 engine due to them switching to a junk multiplatform PC lowest common denominator engine
> Game design forced to work around the idiotic 360 6.8 gig DVD format so it spread out over 4 discs instead of just 1
> Ga...
"show us a vision of what they see"
It is unlikely they have a clue any more than people here on forums do.
Getting caught faking the E3 demos.
No real games being shown.
No playable motion control games on the E3 floor like Nintendo had when they unveiled the Wii.
The latest IGN hands did a poor job of hiding or glossing over their disappointment with what they saw and tried.
There is absolutely no reason to expect anything b...
It isn't. It is confirmed by Square as PS3 and PC exclusive.
Just another fanboy submission.
"but I've read beta testers not really liking it. Any reasons why?"
LOL! No...
