The best part is that when the casual gaming market comes around to purchasing next gen systems the whole HDTV market will be in full swing as well. Lets say 1-3 years down the road, both 360 and PS3 have a low price point. Gaming librarys are all caught up as well. Which would you choose?
If i were a casual gamer I would go with PS3 since it has Blu-Ray (PS2 did this as doubling as a cheap DVD player). This is why I don't think you will ever see a Blu-Ray player in a 360....
I think it's a little too soon to be making statements like that. 360 could completely take over U.S. sales for sure, but PS3 is most definitely in a solid position to make a comeback.
At least give us that much 360 fans?
Yeah i own 13 PS3 games. Doing my part.
(AC,R&C,COD3,COD4,RFOM,Ti ger Woods, Madden,Oblivion,TC:R6,Uncharte d,Fight Night,Guitar Hero3,Warhawk)
Maybe people just aren't ready for next gen gaming yet?
Your guitar hero 3 coming out on PS2 before 360 is a perfect analogy to the whole system thing then too. So by that statement, you should believe that the only reason the 360 is doing better currently is because it was released a year early (don't be a hypocrit).
You guys are always seeming to come up with an argument that wins for the 360, so whats the point in debating if you are unwilling to see both sides of things.
This also doesn't prove which system is b...
Purchase a PS3 or Wii so your gaming needs can be fulfilled while your 360 is being fixed.
Awesome. Bubbles to you for using a How I met Your Mother reference
MS Headquarters: "Uh oh, PS3 has all these titles coming out in 2008 what are we going to do?"
MS 360 Pres: "It's ok we will just come out with 6 more FPS this year and slap Halo: (insert name) title on it and and they will sell millions"
360 is really just becoming a FPS console. MS needs a little variety for their system. All these new games coming out are the same FPS layouts with a different storyline (not even good if you ask me). How about ...
So you guys can pretty much count on not using Xbox live ever again with all these sales you assume that your going to get. Thats what that statement says to me.
And you guys pay for this service. Ouch!
Umm....Maybe because they did it with the PS2, but what do i know. It's not like Sony has a proven track record with the PS1 and PS2 or anything.
You should just stop and go play your 1 game halo machine before you lose your bubbles.
The PS3's price drop was because Sony admittedly F'd up in their market research and over priced the unit. 360 is price dropping because they cannot move enough units to keep up with PS3/keep their sales up.
Big Difference. If you put the sales on a graph it would show Sony's steady increase and it would show MS leveling off. What happens after leveling off unless something is done about it? You guessed it......a plummet on the chart (thats why their price drops would occ...
I think the price point is going to sit at this level for a while throughout this year. I'm sure both sony and MS feel comfortable enough with the amount of units they are moving currently. If they weren't, then we would have seen price drops by now. It would have to make sense for MS to do that. The only reason they would is if sales start plummeting and PS3 starts to drastically overtake them.
Now that the format war is over, Don't think that Sony won't be able to price dr...
One answer....They will come. I'm pretty satisfied with the first Gen games that i was able to play on the PS3. I've been spending alot of time this past year playing R&C, RFOM, AC, WarHawk, COD4, Motorstorm and Uncharted as well as watching Blu-Ray movies. The install base is growing and having Blu-Ray win the format war can only help boost sales. I know a few people that only currently use the system for Blu-Ray right now, which is completely fine, because they know that the games wil...
Blockbuster Video Announces that they will be carrying Blu-Ray exclusively at all of their locations.
Calm Down Dude!
Besides i have seen you on numerous PS3 articles being a 360 fanboy, so don't be a hypocrit since you are contributing to the detriment of n4g as well. Just like an xbot. Always thinking its the other guys fault when they should be pointing the fingers at themselves.
This is Non-News. MS needs to do something quick for 2008 in order to compete with the PS3. As cool as it is, i highly doubt a 90's FPS former game of the Year is going to help save 360 from PS3 taking alot of the U.S. Market share this year.
Good luck guys. I really wish you the best. i know i would hate to spend all that money and not have the best system in the long run.
I'll give you a month. How does December sound? This way when it comes in Q2 you will be pleasantly surprised.
You xbots are just jealous of all the good news and support Sony gives to its customers, unlike that MS money making machine. What is that.... 33% failure rate, no built in Hi-Def and your charging me for xbox live and wifi. How much is that going to cost beyond the system $600? I think i would rather just get all of that and more for $400 with a PS3. Go back to your xbox articles where they condone that sort of garbage talk you dumb xbot. Come back when you want to have a sophisticated ...
And you know it would need a rewrite because you are working on it yourself? Stop making inconclusive/unproven statements and go back to your xbox threads where they condone that sort of thing.
Dude, Everything you post gives a bad name to the 360. Just stop. I really hope that there are at least a few respectable 360 fans out there that can conduct a more sophisticated conversation than saying my machine is better. At least give me some proof and back it up with some facts. All i see here is a comparison of 2 games and the PS3 version is unfinished. Even the writer of the article said that it is not ready yet for the public. For some reason they still believed the pictures fro...
I downloaded it last night off of PSN and I have my system on RGB Full and Superwhite on and i can say with 100% confidence that the game looks nothing like the PS3 version shown in this pic (Right). It also doesn't look like the 360 version either . I would say more of a hybrid of both. The 360 (left) looks a little hyperpixelated leaving those dreaded jaggies. Although the picture does look a bit clearer/crisp on the left though. As I said, 360 fans don't take this blog entry as fact. ...
