Elite tempting new gamers

The Xbox 360 Elite is selling well, and market research is indicating a high proportion of those buying it are people who don't already own an original Xbox 360.

That's according to Neil Thompson, senior regional director for the UK and Ireland at Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices division, who spoke exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz.

I just buy what appeals me. I bought PS3 because I want MGS and Final Fantasy XIII and blu ray player. Normal DVD look ugly on my HD TV. Also Heavenly Sword impressed me its more graphical thing I saw and Warhawk is plain fun. Didn't have so much fun as I did in Warhawk since the time of BF2 pre patches.

I also bought PSP Lite lately. Why? Because I wanted Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. I am also enjoying playing games during some boring lessson at school lol.

I am buying Nintendo DS for Dragon Quests and Blue Dragon. I love JPRGs

I upgraded PC to play Crysis and other releases on PC.
I am still looking for a reason to buy X360. Most game of X360 I can play on PC including Bioshock. I did not enjoy Halo on Xbox i prefer halo 1 on PC and Halo 2 is plain crap. Its online is way overrated. 16 Players? Come on we been playing BF2 with 64 players for AGES and free.

I gave Halo 3 the benefit of doubt but after trying beta I did not enjoy online. Its graphics makes my eyes bleed compared to Heavenly Sword and the auto aim is total bullcrap. Also I cannot stealthly hide inside bushes and use camoflauge like I used to do as sniper in BF2 due to lame skins. Reviewers say Single Player mode is boring short and a mess and repeititve, yet follow but 10 score which means contradic themselves. I'll go try it at some show this Sat to see whats the fuss about.

I will buy X360 if something appeals me which I still am looking for a reason.

Now kindly take your fanboyish comments like "OMFG PS3 SUXX TRADE IT WITH X360 X360 ROXXX" and comments like "X360 SUXXXX HALO SUXXXX". Please make constructive comments and critisim for example. "The PS3 Appeals me because of the free online and games like MGS and FF"

That's me!
I'm really wanting to get a PS3 soon. The #1 reason I want a PS3 is the SOCOM series. I really wish Confrontation wouldn't have been pushed back because now I'm stalling my purchase again. I'm also wondering if there's going to be a price drop.
I'm not all about graphics (hence SOCOM). It's all about gameplay or games in general for me.

sjappie6051d ago

why not stick with/buy a ps2?

OC_MurphysLaw6051d ago

but I do know the 360 is pickin up steam. latest look on Amazon shows the 20GB HDMI 360 in 5th place ahead of the Wii, the 120GB Elite is around 11th I think and the Halo version sku is at 15th spot.

360 is doing well this month...

Marceles6051d ago

...shortly before Bioshock came out and I'm happy I got one. I have Bioshock, Gears, Skate, Crackdown, Madden 08, just got Halo 3 in the mail (too bad I have to wait until after work to play it), and some of the older but good games for the 360. I'm pretty relieved I got one since I always had to wait for new games and demos to come out on the PS3, while the 360 always gets new content, even though I have to admit the PS3 is finally catching up there with their content. I still play Warhawk alot but my other 15 PS3 games are collecting dust.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC5h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer6h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6025h ago(Edited 5h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya4h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde4h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx3h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro11h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B9h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21839h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh8h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia8h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins9h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal8h ago

The first game was the best imo.
