I wonder what their quarter would have looked like had they not sold their Cell Fab / Cell IP to Toshiba, and sold their Insurance Division?
As my Dad used to say, you cant sell the furniture and call it income.
Sony and Nintendo take note: This is how you treat your customers.
Xbox 360 owners get superior games, value *and* service.
Somewhere under ""MS funds all review-sites"
You should add:
"reviews dont matter"
"But, PS3Fan.com gave Lair 9.9!"
Well, "2paclives", you sure are a sucker aren't you.
"devs to get caught up to speed with the technical power of the ps3."
Right, because the PS3 is some super-computer isnt it? You sure have bought the SONY marketing hook-line-and-sinker.
You know what IGN said in its hardware shoot-out?
"When you break down the numbers, Xbox 360 has provably more performance than PS3. Keep in mind that Sony has a track rec...
@DZNetworks:
"EA only cares about the bottom line. PROFITS"
hahah! Right! EA is so different from Sony, yeah, Sony there a nice bunch of guys. Hell, there practically running a charity with the PS3. Heck, they gave away $847 Million in Q2 2007 *ALONE*.
Yep, Sony doesnt care about the bottom line at all. They'll just sell their Cell Manufacturing Facilities and IP and the Sony Insurance Division just to keep pumping money on the Sony ...
"and they have half the dev resources than EA"
Really. And how the frack do you know this? Frankly that doesnt matter.
All you have to do is look at the cross platform games. The same group of developers can build great games for the Xbox 360, but for some reason the PS3 games have issues. Game after Game after Game.
Perhaps -- and I know this is going to be outside your fantasy world-view -- that Sony shipped a bad design, and garbage...
EA probably owns the IP Madden, they arent going to loose it.
And, EA is *not* the only dev having issues. EA isnt a bad developer in any sense. They make the best line of sports games (im sorry if you want to be a rebel and hate EA for some reason, but its true).
What about Midway's Blacksite: Area 51? Totally gutted online for the PS3. What about the PES2008 having network and performance issues on the PS3?
The list goes on and on and on. Th...
Tell me you know who The Guardian is.
Its one of the most widely read and respected newspapers on the planet.
EDIT: Wow 4 Disagrees, perhaps it was my rudeness. I've remoted it.
There is no "disagreeing" with what I said about the Guardian. ITs like you saying the sky is purple.

To the "wireless doesnt affect gameplay crowd". Wireless is crap for playing games.
There is no doubt. Wireless drops more packets and has far longer hop times.
Dont believe me? Fire up GNU/Linux on your PS3. Try wiring the machaine, then running Ping and traceroute to any random online machine (say, yahoo.com).
Do this both wired and wireless.
Then, come back in here and tell us the results. I damn well know they'll s...
"And then after a year, when the game is played less and less, they pull the plug of those dedicated servers, like MGS3 did. And then bam. You can't play them anymore. Those games you paid 60 dollar for, the online component is gone. "
Exactly. I dont think that Sony fans realize the purpose of HOME is to build a micro-transaction and revenue generation mechanism for online play.
Sony has said as much. That Home is going to permit "toll booths&qu...
"For all you Xbot trolls, this isn't a Sony or a Playstation problem - it's Konami's."
No. It is a Sony Quality Control issue.
See, on Xbox LIVE, I am gauranteed high-quality multiplayer. MS keeps everything top-shelf.
It *IS* a Sony problem because they are permitting garbage online service. Microsoft certifies quality service for Xbox 360 owners... and it is *WELL* worth the ~$3.50 per month.
Well, its been fun talking to you all. Its been about 12 hours since I've gotten my Halo 3 fix.
Cheers!
"He doesn't know sh*t, did he get on the soapbox when MS wouldn't fess up about the RROD???"
Huh? Did Sony "fess up" to all the broken PS2s? Ive got two in my closet right now.
Microsoft *DID* take care of its early heat problems. Motherboard Version 1.1. This Motherboard has fewer components, smaller components, new layout, and a new CPU/GPU mounting methodology.
Look at this:
I'm not going to stop and feel sorry for Sony, because they get off scott-free compared to the ignorant vitrol spewed against MS around here.
What? Are you kidding? The graphics arent "bad". It may not be The Best Looking Game In History(TM), but I thought it looked good, the scale and mechanics looked alright too.
I'll give it a rent for sure.
"Microsh1t thought they were safe in that area since they have a monopoly... but guess what MSFT, your monopoly doesn't extend to the game industry, that's why the first Xbox took a dump from japan, and the Xbox 360 is getting dumped again by japan. Sorry."
Who cares? Japan isnt buying *either* the Xbox 360 or the PS3 to any extent. The sales for consoles are *way* down in Japan.
2007 was the largest worldwide sales in game industry history. And this...
