That's simply not true, gustave. According to Sony and Microsoft's worldwide shipment figures for the first half of the year, the 360 is ahead by 500,000 units (4.4 million to 3.9 million). Last year, the gap reached as low as 3 million during the holiday season, but it has since risen back up to 3.5 million.
Unless you don't want us to believe Sony and Microsoft's official financial reports? We have yet to see what effect the PS3 price drop has had. We'll...
A look at the series on Metacritic:
86 - Resistance
87 - Resistance 2
84 (so far) - Resistance 3
A great score for the game. It is holding up a solid 84 on Metacritic. Although it is lower than its two predecessors, it is still a very respectable score and another great addition to the PS3 catalog.
Because Kinect and Move were direct competitors last year and all the N4G fanboys thought that Kinect would flop. It then went on to become the fastest selling consumer electronics device of all time and completely obliterated Move in sales. It is also the sole reason that the 360 has been the best-selling console of the first half of 2011, despite the console having "no games", according to the fanboys.
Now think about it. On the most PS3-biased gaming website ther...
Well, COD will win in sales without a shadow of a doubt (maybe 3 to 4 times more sales), but it's pretty much a toss up when it comes to review scores. Metacritic:
COD4 - 94
WaW - 84
MW2 - 94
BlOps - 87
BF2 - 91
BF:BC - 83
BF:BC2 - 88
To me, it looks more likely that MW3 will score higher. But it's going to be a close call.
Actually, there have only been 2 Forza titles released so far this gen (Forza 1 was for XBOX), but every Forza game so far has scored 90 or higher on Metacritic.
Forza - 92
Forza 2 - 90
Forza 3 - 92
Forza 2 and 3 are already the highest rated racing games of this gen. Bring on Forza 4!
Wow! Just imagine if an article like this came from an Xbox website with a title like "Xbox 360 demonstrates its Superior Online Service". The PS3 fanboys would have their panties in a twist, but this article is okay coming from "playstationlifestyle.net ".
Ha!
Hypocrisy at its finest.
It will barely affect 360 owners either.
The saddest thing of all is that the only people who seem to care that the 360 version is on two discs are PS3 fanboys! It will still sell more on the 360 and score the same as the PS3 version. Current Battlefield 3 pre-orders in the Americas are:
360: 520,087
PS3: 229,754

It clearly reads: "Microsoft RESERVES THE RIGHT TO not allow that content to be published".
It does not read: "Microsoft WILL NOT ALLOW that content to be published".
Do you honestly believe Battlefield 3 will not release on the Xbox 360?
Well, the PS3 just had a price drop, which is what fueled it to outsell the 360 by 80,000 units this week. Even if it kept up these numbers, it would take a year for it to surpass the 360 worldwide. And obviously it is not going to keep up post price-drop numbers for 52 weeks straight.
That is nonsense. Their PS3 numbers are always more or less accurate. It is the 360 that is undertracked, by 200,000 units in June in the US alone. Now I know it would be okay to post info like this with NO SOURCE if it was saying the PS3 was undertracked, and I would get 1,000 agrees. But this is about the 360, so I'll have to back it up with sources:

This trailer gave me CHILLS. September 20th cannot come soon enough!
It's not exactly good news for the console market. It's pretty much a given right after a price drop.
Go Gears!
@darkride66
Gears 3 has 4-player co-op alone and there are many enemies on screen at the same time.
Winner.
You really like them HD remake collections, eh?
Every year, more games release on the Xbox 360 than on the PS3, be they exclusive, console exclusive, Kinect, Arcade, indie, or multiplatform. It's simply a fact.
Uh... are you referring to the 360 version; the only version of the game that Bethesda has even shown to the public? It must be really inferior for them to use it at every game conference.
