The war will instantly be over once the PS3 passes the 360 by 1 unit! And at the rate the PS3 is currently outselling the 360, it could happen by as early as Summer 2015!
Looking at the comments, I think: should I trust 9,000 actuall game developers or a few PS3 fanboys?
I hadn't even heard about the world ending tomorrow until I saw the title of this article. Now I can have a good laugh!
I hate when someone criticizes something and then other people say "let's see you do that" or something idiotic like that. So I guess none of us can have an opinion about anything unless we are an expert in the field then. No more video game reviews except from other video game developers now, huh?
I'd bet that 90% of user reviews are either:
-1s and 10s (nothing inbetween)
-From people who haven't even played the game
-From people who don't own the console the game is on
-From fanboys
-Bullshit
Put all these stupid conspiracies aside. Professional reviews are the ones to go by. Enough crap about reviewers being paid off. There's more than just a score there! Read the text of the review and if it isn't...
After the PSN hack, the biggest disaster of this generation, even bigger than the RROD in terms of money lost. Sure, they're doing great... *rolls eyes*
What do you base this on? It certainly isn't going to be the best-selling. The biggest game would be the one that the most people are anticipating. That would be Call of Duty. The biggest exclusive would be Gears of War 3.
You are warned that participating in the beta can brick your console. Microsoft does not even have to offer free replacements, but they are.
I want achievements, I want to chat with my friends while I'm playing, and I couldn't imagine using the PS3 controller, with it's terrible triggers and awkward analog stick placement, to play a game like this. I only bare through that crap when I have no other choice and the game is exclusive to the PS3, like this game was at one point.
Xbox 360 all the way for me on this one.
Almost any game will perform better after an install. But the key here is that it is OPTIONAL on the 360 and MANDATORY on the PS3.
And 360 owners only mock the PS3 for mandatory installs after PS3 fanboys make disc swapping out to be the biggest inconvenience possible, while you could swap discs one hundred times in the time it takes for one of the PS3's mandatory installs to run its course.
This is the first L.A. Noire review I trust, and it's because Jim Sterling wrote it.
Eurogamer also gave Red Dead Redemption an 8/10. RDR currently sits at a 95 on Metacritic. This IGN review is quite disappointing though.
I never would have guessed that date...
11/11/08 - World at War
11/10/09 - Modern Warfare 2
11/09/10 - Black Ops
11/08/11 - Modern Warfare 3

I seem to remember seeing Halo: Reach, Fable III, Crackdown 2, Gears of War 3, Codename: Kingdoms, Forza Motorsport 4, and a plethora of multiplatform games at Microsoft's E3 2010 presentation. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.
At the 2009 VGAs, Assassin's Creed II beat Uncharted 2 for "Best Action/Adventure Game". Then Uncharted 2 beat Assassin's Creed II for GOTY... LOGIC FAIL!!!!!!!!
I have a feeling this game is going to be in the high 90s on Metacritic. Although it could not possibly surpass GTA IV's 98, maybe it can beat or tie RDR's 95. This game is going to be INCREDIBLE!
Best Buy doesn't have their own exclusive case. This is a case that will be released to everyone at some point as DLC. You get a code to download it for free though if you are one of the first 16 customers to buy L.A. Noire at the midnight launch.
What a sexy man.
The weekly sales gap between the 360 and PS3 has been shrinking every week. It was 30,000+ a few weeks ago, and now it is less than 10,000, so there is definitely some effect going on here. Japan continues to be the only reason the PS3 outsells the 360, but for now it is a virtual tie.
And there the Wii sits in a miserable sixth place, right where it belongs. Who would have thought...
