Not to mention, that the "beating" Xbox 360 is getting in Japan isnt as bad as the one PS3 is getting in the largest market in the world; America.
The Xbox 360 to PS3 ratio in America is worse than the PS3 to Xbox 360 ratio in Japan. AND America is the larger market.
Sakaguchi has nothing to do with Final Fantasy any longer. Its a Final Fantasy game in name only.
Have a look at the master's work:

Oh, and he's bringing Blue Dragon to the DS.
based on just louie's previous comments, he is japanese.
That being the case, he is essentially displaying the reason that Japan is resisting buying America's Xbox 360, becaues they are notoriously xenophobic.
For anyone who doesnt know, do a little reading on Japan's isolationist nature. Its part of the culture to this day.
Look up Admiral Perry in 1853.
That is why PS exclusivity is in serious danger, and once Sony looses its ability to dominate 3rd parties, its over for Sony.
Even if Im not right about exclusivity and Sony, it doesnt really matter for Xbox 360 gamers. Look at Mass Effect for ...
...more people bought Halo 3 in _TWO_WEEKS_ than have bought a PS3 in a year.
Put that in your crack pipe.
And games like Mass Effect and Lost Odyssey are pulling...
"Figures are irrelevant considering the price has not dropped yet."
As said above, the new price is only a relevant when it happens. The Xbox 360 lead is astounding, and EU's price-reduction isnt the last result. Certainly not the first. You're only interested in downplaying this result because you have an agenda.
"I don't even think this is really news."
But the 5 stories about the one week results in EU _is_ news?

I'll be there day one. I love this game, and the new multi-player sounds terrific.
Sold!
I hope there's a hot-coffee sequence :)
I'll probably buy one used in 3-4 years... Ive got "every" console, but like try and keep my ecological footprint down buy not buying every single thing under the sun.
I certainly have the funds for a PS3, but, I've been gaming for ~25 years, I have patience.
I was happy to get a Xbox 360 for the backwards compatability to Xbox. I had a PS2 last gen, but there were games I wanted to play but could not.
If you were a PS2 owner, I reconmme...
No, re-read my post. The video quality of the output on the non-HDMI is the same as HDMI.
Its the same essentially, just a different cable.
Whats there to be cynical about? The game looks like another long-playing, indepth, story driven, adventure RPG -- if they can pull off a great story and good performance, it will do well.
The action certainly seems unique, and its obviously really good looking. I'll be paying more attention now.
I imagine MGS tried to help Epic make nice with them to get the work back on track.
If what SK says is true, that Epic used them to beta test and repair their engine, that is kinda crappy for SK.
BUT, I imagine no one SK, Epic or MGS wants to see SK deliver a stinker because of it. Im betting that all this favourable press is the result of a "lets get back on track" program and away from lawsuit nastyness.
No one thinks this is going to be a 95 / 100 game. Its a fun, pick-up platformer. Its a port of a Wii game. Helps fill out the catalogue before Banjo ships.
Right now, there are two reviews on metacritic 7.8 & this 7.0. The game will probably settle out in the 7.2-3 range.
I'd recommend Kameo over this probably, it was pretty good, and Rare's talent shined through, it has a 7.9 / 10 @ Metacritic; the same score as HS for example.
The Guys at gamespot went and looked at the game too, they came away saying "At this point, we're considerably more excited for Too Human than we were prior to our trip"
That says a lot, I always thought the art direction was nice, but we havent been getting much information.
SK did a good thing by getting some press through to St. Catherines to see the game.

So, "Sony doesnt pay for exclusives"? What are you talking about?
You are not only wrong, but arrogant and stupid. Your post is 100% incorrect. How do you think Insomniac gets money to write R&C? Sony pays them for the game -- thats called "paying for exclusives".
That is how the game business works, Publishers pay Studios for the rights to publish games, those rights-payments are what fund the games.
The Publishers (lik...
"I dont share the opinion that Sony will not sell another PS3 from now."
No, your arguement presumes that the PS3 will skyrocket in volume and the Xbox 360 will plummet. Why on earth would that happen? Dont tell me MGS4 and FF. They are great games and should do very well, but they are not automatic game-changers.
But in your world, somehow this seems reasonable. But to everyone else here in reality, there is no sane reason to expect this.
...
First off, you seem to think that the Xbox 360 library _needs_ MGS4, MGS4 Online, FFXIII and FFXIII Online. Why? Its not like there isnt already plenty of top flight games.
There really is no doubting that the existing Xbox 360 library makes the options on the PS3 look meager (to be polite). There is just no doubt. Goto Metacritic yourself and look. And the 2008 line-up looks better for Xbox 360 owners than 2007 did! Go and lookup the games yourself.
Now, a...
Are you trying to bring up Halo 3? You mean the video game that sold more copies in 3 Weeks than the total PS3s have sold worldwide in 12 months?
Your not bringing that up are you? Perhaps you missed the vgchartz estimate (still waiting for the NDP numbers) that suggested 550,000 Xbox 360s sold last month? More than 400,000 more than PS3?
That game?
