Wow I'm kind of getting tired of hearing about the "of course it would sell better in America, it's American-made." That MAKES NO SENSE and has absolutely no basis in reality.
You are conflating the Japanese culture with American culture. In Japan, company and ethnic loyalty are very important. Thus you WOULD expect a Japanese made product from a Japanese made company to top a foreign one.
In America, this isn't the case. Nobody cares ...
Good news for 360 owners I guess.
As I tried to point out in the article, there is legal precedent that when committing crimes online such a hacking you are NOT protected simply by living in another country. When it comes to a civil case like this where copyright infringement and intellectual property rights are involved, you have to look at whether or not the country where the hacker lives is a member of the World Trade Organization. WTO regulates foreign patent claims and establishes a bare minimum level of protection that ...
DO WANT
Ha I loved that game!
This is awesome, I hope Sony nails these bastards and shows that hacking is NOT okay. I can't believe these nerds are idolized in the gaming community.
Killzone 2 only sold a few million copies. It obviously won't compete with Black Ops.
Not gonna lie, that is pretty sad.
It is generally believed that Xbox LIVE is better than PSN on multiple grounds. There is more content on LIVE. There are far more users on LIVE (despite what Sony claims which is the subject of this article). Have you tried playing a game on the PSN recently? Most games on there like MAG and Uncharted 2, which are both good games, are ghost towns. When you do have a thriving active community, nobody ever talks on PSN. It's silent. Xbox LIVE at least you can talk with people and strategize...
I thought this was a fine article that made an excellent point. Anybody who is mad about articles like this needs to get outside more. Why does this fake console war affect you so much?! In the grand scheme of things this is all irrelevant. What does it say about the state of affairs in your life if you get so angry about gaming articles that say things you don't like you have to start yelling and insulting people?
Like I said, just look at the list of exclusives in 2011 doa posted. Microsoft's is laughable. They are clearly focusing on Kinect. What exactly was it that I said you disagree with?
The time for being a real gamer on the Xbox 360 is finished. The 2011 exclusives comparison listed by doa766 in the first few comments proves this. Microsoft is going all-in with Kinect. They are making the Xbox 360 into a casual machine. If you are a "real" gamer, then you aren't going to have much reason to continue owning an Xbox other than if you are yourself interested in Kinect.
It's hard to believe that in one generation Microsoft could go from having...
That's already in 3D though. The point of using FF13 was to show that even games not specifically designed for 3D can be up-converted with this TV.
And this is why people who bought 3D TV's already wasted their money...
I've heard of dirty tactics but c'mon, you are implying that they are intentionally ruining people's machines?
Didn't they also say that MGS4 barely fit on PS3? It's probably because they just don't bother to compress anything.
I thought this guy said he retired!?
No idea. As far as I can remember, I think so.
True, but that phrase is/was commonly used on CoD4. It just originated on SOCOM II.
The difference here is that I have a background and education in criminal justice unlike many of the other journalists who wrote about this topic. I'm trying to point out that there ARE legal precedents where residing in other countries doesn't protect those who commit crimes online so Sony probably isn't just making idle threats.
