No one has doubts about GoW2. Only the usual group of anti-MS haters.

Take it to the open zone.
Do you think Sony's a charity?
"reaching the end of its life"
No. Its middleware, it will constantly undergo improvement -- just like software always does.
Will it recieve a complete "re-write"? Doubtful -- it will have components removed and improved.
Pretending otherwise only reveals a misunderstanding of what UE does.
You can thank the user community on this site for this.

I've got two. Why? As a media-center for music and party-games upstairs in the living room, connected to my better home-stereo.
Another downstairs (for parties again...) and for *my* gaming on the home-theater plasma.
Good thing the Xbox 360 has a INDUSTRY record for highest attach rate for a console *ever*.
That means that DEVELOPERS are going to want to support the Xbox 360, which means that anyone who buys an Xbox 360 knows he's going to get the most attention from the best developers.
I bought the Xbox 360 for the games -- and that is where the gamers are going.
Why would *ANYONE* buy more than one Xbox 360? Every owner who has a problem gets a free fix.
I'd wager taht the number of broken (by percentage) of Xbox 360s is lower than the PS2s that remained broken.
I've got three PS2s my-self that are broken (i have to bring them to a repair shop to see if I can get one working, and I better do it soon before the shops that lived on fixing PS2s stop doing it..).
Right, because vgchartz is accurate, while MS cant count.
That's an interesting idea.
The Xbox 360 has 19M and that is more than the PS3. And, it has a game-industry record attach rate. +10M on LIVE.
What kind made-up level is that?
Sounds like EA is responding to the fans, and they deserve some credit.
Did you read the article?
It is not opinion, but based on new research.
Go read the article. you can LOL if you want, but unless you've got some problem with the methodology of the study, i'd suggest you accept it.
"And there's technology -- the world is moving away from physical discs"
We have a winner. mp3s destroyed the CD market. Half the traffic on the internet is already BitTorrent traffic.
The value proposition for Digital Distribution is exceptionally superior.
This same thing happened to Laser Disc vs. VHS. In this case, BR is Laser Disc. The mass market is done with discs.
Well, for such a fan, its going to really be terrible to miss out on the GTAIII:VC and GTAIII:SA size Exclusive Expansions for GTAIV that are coming only to the Xbox 360 via DLC.
Maybe you dont like GTA that much after all.
And, the PS3 controller, while you may be used to it, its an ergonomic mistake.
Rockstar's head writer for GTAIV on the radio TELLS THE WORLD:
"Between the Xbox 360 version of the game and the PS3 version, Lazlow admits that he prefers the 360 version thanks to the downloadable content; new missions, new characters, new comedy, etc."

No other R* employee has said "get the other version" -- NONE.
"Putting aside all the technical differences,"
There are no technical differences.
If there *WERE* I would still get it on the Xbox 360:
LIVE is vastly superior to PSN.
Xbox 360 is getting Vice City and San Andrease Exclusive Expansions via DLC.
Custom Soundtracks and all the rest of the Guide Features.
I heard the PS3 version has serious tearing issues anyway, so if you can, you should sell your PS3 and buy a...
" PS3 than I might have to get that version"
IT doesnt. And not one person who's played the game has ever said so.
TEMPLATE is a FUD troll.
Template, you're a failure -- Take your crap to the openzone.
@1.3
"Rockstar themselves have come right out on multiple occasions making it clear the PS3 version has better graphics"
You. Are. A. Liar.
Show us ONE instance where someone @ R* said that.
One.
Those are some drop dead incredible screenshots.
The budget is not "low". Also, the division of Epic that is responsible for licensing isnt going to "give" UE to the Studio-division responsible for the game.
That is not how corporate accounting works. Epic Studio has to "compete" in the market with the other competing Studios -- with proper accounting (ie, the cost of UE).
I'm sure on paper, Epic Studio has to "pay" for UE.
