"At the end of the day, if you like a game, play it to death. Don't let anyone tell you what to play. Even if it only sells one copy, if that copy is to you and you have fun it was worthwhile to you."
If that was the case, then why do you feel the need to post sale numbers for the games you had just mentioned.

For someone that claims he is a neutral gamer, you sure have a lot of interest on Microsoft's financial well being.
So can you dig up a report on the PS3 and Sony and see how their gaming and entertainment division is doing. Can Sony afford another price drop?

"theres more to sucess than sales."
What is more successful than sales, if I may ask?
Actually, the X360 did not get a price cut in 2009. The Elite took the place of the Pro. It is still at $299.
Microsoft should do this: packaged the Elite with Natal and sell it for $299 and sell the Natal/Arcade model for $199.
That is a good way to combat both Sony and Nintendo.
I will buy it on my PS3 when it is out in 2012.
and I have never heard of any one of them. I'll wait for IGN and Gamespot before deciding.
I thought the embargo is on Feb 10th?
Great. I am not getting Natal because Insomniac said so.
Seriously, that is like asking Saaking, Morganfail, Pirate Tom, Obama, Action B@stard, LeonSKennedy4Life, xg-ei8ht, and any of the PS3 extremists on N4G that very same question. What do you think they will say?
Jan: Mass Effect, Bayonetta
Feb: Bioshock 2, Heavy Rain
Mar: GOW3, Bad Company 2
April: Splinter Cell Conviction, Red Dead Redemption
May: Alan Wake, Lost Planet 2
Thank god for the $600 GS giftcard :)
this game will be overlooked. I will get this game in the summer when I have money to spare.
A great game is a great game and this game seems like a high eighties to low nineties game when it is all said and done.
I think they should be charging $40 instead of a full $60. Common, at least throw in a blue tooth headset for that price.
Save your money for Battlefield Bad Company 2 instead. The demo was great.
As long as they have Madison strip teasing while the game is installing, I'll be alright with it. :)
Lost Odyssey is too long ago. Need a new JRPG to play.
First, Sony loyalists claimed Sony only count sales of PS3 to customer, while Microsoft only count 39 millions SHIPPED to retailers.
Now, they claimed every PSN account only applies to one console and every X360 has 10 silver accounts and 1/2 gold account.
You guys kill me. LOL
FYI, Only Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 came out in 2008. Halo 3 came out in 2007. Please do some research before attempting to troll. LOL
Every month there are at least a couple of AA-AAA games to choose from.
Jan: Bayonetta, Mass Effect 2
Feb: Bioshock 2, Dante Inferno, Alien vs Predator
Mar: Bad Company 2, FF13, Metro 2033
April: Splinter Cell Conviction, SSF4, Red Dead Redemption
May: Alan Wake, Lost Planet 2
Summer: Crackdown 2, Max Payne 3, Dead Rising 2, Alpha Protocol
In addition to the mentioned games for X10 like Reach and Fable 3.
Why should Xbox fans feel threatened? In addition to the 3 exclusive games mentioned for the Fall, we still have Mass effect 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Metro 2033, Alan Wake, and Crackdown all coming in the first half of 2010.
MAG, WKC, Heavy Rain, and GOW3 in first half of the 2010 and you call it a victory? Please
God of War part 3,
Gran Turismo part 5 not including prologue demo editions
Ratchet and Clank (lost counts)
Rumored Resistance part 3
Killzone 3 will be announced soon
I heard another singstar is coming out.
Yea there are some new Ips like Heavy rain and MAG but X360 also have new IPs like Alan wake coming out.
Can you imagine a triple threat lineup of Halo Reach, Fable 3, and Gears of War 3. Along with Natal and its launch lineup and hype, Xbox fans will be in for a treat this Holiday.
How can some of you justify this multiplayer only game at $60, and constantly bashing Halo ODST for its price when it have all the Halo 3 maps, a single player campaign, co op, and firefight online mode.
Having up to 256 players does not justify the cost for MAG. Same with the pricing of ODST IMO.
