"&Gears of War better sell something or M$ is in a little trouble i think"
Firstly, typing "M$" makes you look like a tool. do you see people on this board writing $ony? No? Take it to the open zone if you're not able to be a reasonable person.
Secondly, MS cleans up week after week in software sales. One game isnt going to make or break the Xbox 360 game-sales-market. Just. Not. Going. To. Happen. The Xbox 360 has *THE HIGHEST ATTAC...
MS isnt going to target the child market like the DS. They're going to go after the tween-35 market of users who want a high-technology, innovative experience.
I'm betting a handheld is also coming, I wonder if it will be a single device from Danger or a Zune device.
No matter, they'll probably skip the 5-10 year old DS market.
"Microsoft does not make hardware... they hire others to make them..."
Which is the case for just about all electronics these days -- from everyone.
Halo 3 is fcuking terrific, an absolutely epic game in every way. Awesome AI, visuals, music, multiplayer and gameplay.
Give it a rest, Halo 3 is a massive success, time to give up on the FUD.
Reported as spam. Take it to the open zone son.
The Zune -- in its first generation iteration -- commanded the 2nd greatest share of HD-based digital audio players.
Zune, as a brand for music sales and devices *will* be coming to Xbox 360 and the next Danger phone. Believe it.
Who cares about Zune? Anyone in the industry with a brain. MS is a relentless competitor and innovates at an incredible pace, its constant improvement drives its competitors ahead too.
You've clearly never used a Zune. ...
My bet for MS's handheld?
A new Hiptop Phone. I dont know how it will be branded, but it will bridge the Zune and Xbox 360 gaming brands onto a new phone.
That is why they bought Danger.
Forza 2 is the most innovative Racing game in the industry. Hey, does GT have car damage yet? Have they fixed the physics?

Just like Sakaguchi-san too eh? PErhaps they just want to work somewhere that they'll be able to realize their vision for videogames?
Wii doesnt have a future for innovation, nor a collection of customers who want to buy new games that deliver new experiences. They want more of exactly the same.
That must be *awful* boring. MS is well known to be the place for new IP, new gameplay experiences and the Xbox 360 has the power to do anything the programmer could w...
All this Uwe Boll - Bay feud stuff is just viral marketing for Postal.
Ignore this idiot, and his crap movies.
That wouldnt be such a bad move for Facebook. They could get more of the collaboration / blogging tools from live ( http://spaces.live.com/, http://spaces.live.com/phot... http://spaces.live.com/even... and http://spaces.live.com/skyd... so Facebook us...
This is a day-one purchase for me (see avatar :) On day-one, this will be the best hack-n-slash of the generation.
It looks just stunning, and based on the previews, the AI and game-engine is just fantastic. I cant wait.
Eye of Judgment has sold 190,000 copies *world wide* in total.
This is just nonsense to say "used to taking in a good amount of traffic, but apparently it wasn’t ready for the EOJ community"
What? Really? 200k people (assuming *every single one of them visited*) and that is a big deal?
I think maybe they're talking smack *just a little bit* eh?
It seems MS (and its partners) like to keep games that under far-out from release under-wraps.
Gears of War 2 is a great example. Everyone knew their would be a sequal after Gears was such a terrific hit. But, they *still* havent shown actual-in-game footage.
They want to manage the release of information more closely.
Compare that with Killzone 2. Remember the bull-shots and rendered gameplay videos from E3 2005? And, they've been showing bits...
Right, because the sequal to a massive hit like Gears of War shouldnt be discussed... A game that will almost certainly outsell most every exclusive game this year... no, no point discussing it eh?
Again with the haters. The Sony owners come in and trash everything on Xbox 360.
Gears of War was just a fantastic game, by any measure, loved by millions; got great reviews and won piles of awards.
Yet, here come the sony-haters to say how it wasnt any good. Bring up Resistence 2 (Gears of War blew Resistence away -- not *MY* opinion, but the industry based on awards and reviews). Killzone 1 was mediocre. Sure, KZ2 looks good, but who knows it if wont just b...
"same old hide and shoot gameplay"
Gears of War was a terrific "hide and shoot" game. It won piles of awards and got excellent reviews for its supreme gameplay.
Yesterday, **SONY THEMSELVES** told us they had sold "nearly 12 million". Yet, here we see vgchartz already over 12. See a problem with your theory? SONY themselves have just told you that vgchartz is, without any doubt at all, OVERESTIMATING PS3 SALES. Get it?
MS told us they've passed 19M in April.
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
So, uhm, yeah, VGChartz n...
And, you are correct. In a few months, we'll probably see the game sold equally well to both groups, and the overall sales to reflect the install bases as appropriate.
No more, no less, no big deal. Really, pretending otherwise is just silly.
This shouldnt suprise anyone. Xbox 360 owners buy *a lot of games*. This is well know, that is why the Xbox 360 has the highest attach rate for a game console in history. Ever.
The only thing it means to me is this: Developers and Publishers are going to continue to bring the best games to the Xbox 360.
GTA IV DLC is just another great example - Rockstar wants to bring its DLC exclusively to Xbox 360 because they know the Xbox 360 is being used to play games. ...
