When the PS3 released in 2006, the 360 had a 5 million lead. Today, four and a half years later, the 360 has an approximate 3.7 million lead. It has gone up and down, but in the end the gap has been decreased by only 1.3 million units in those 4.5 years. At this rate, it will only be another 13 years until the PS3 finally passes the Xbox 360! Whoopee!!!!
What a complete disaster. I feel bad for Sony for once....
I think I speak for everyone when I say:
"THAT'S IT?!"
The beta already has more players than most full games, just from the minority of users who bought Bulletstorm or got in early by other means. Once all the pre=order people are in, it will easily be in the top 5 most played games on Xbox LIVE, and it would be the #1 most played game BY FAR if it were on the PSN (and the PSN were actually working).
@badz149
No, the Xbox 360 definitely has more real, active online users than the PS3. But the PSN is on both the PS3, with 50 million units, and the PSP, with 80 million units. There are more PSN users than Xbox LIVE users, but not more PS3 online users than 360 online users.
@Soldierone: "They always give exclusive titles low scores"
Oh, give me a break! Almost every big PS3 exclusive has a higher score on IGN than its average on Metacritic. Stop spouting nonsense without even doing any research. You come off as a total fool.
@Ramzadel: "Until we see articles stop exaggerating problems other console manufacturers get a pass at Sony will remain the king in gaming this and the millions of other articles are further proof of this."
Ha! Sony has NOT been the "king of gaming" since the PS3's launch in 2006.
Look again. Braid is in the list. It's the fourth game down.
When it comes to online services, you get what you pay for...
Portal 2, step aside!
That is code for "the PS3 version will be slightly worse".
That seems HIGHLY unlikely.
Xbox 360 version - 94 with 27 critic reviews
PS3 version - 94 with 17 critic reviews
Hmm... it's funny that practically every single multiplatform game gets far more reviews on the 360. It just goes to show which HD console is considered the lead console of this generation.
Amen brother.
They will grab on to any tiny little thing to bash Microsoft, the Xbox 360, and Kinect. Desperate times call for desperate measures!
This is cool and all, but why ruin all these Easter eggs? They are supposed to be discovered by the player, not spoiled before you even play the game.
It seems that every time the PS3 version gets a tiny bit of DLC for an open world game, it turns out to be the inferior version. See: Red Dead Redemption and Mafia II (above). And these lying developers keep insisting that both versions are equal up until release. I guess once the initial sales are in, it doesn't matter to them.
Hell, I am more excited for the Gears of War 3 beta than most full games this year. You can't even imagine how excited I am for September 20 to come.
This opens up so many possibilities!
Maybe 2%?
