I can't really think of any besides Dead Rising. And I'm an 360 owner and avid Halo 3 player. All Microsofts "exclusives" come out on PC or PS3 so why own a 360? To play on XBL? Why when I could play Gears etc for free on PC.

On a side note, during one of the briefings in the plane, i used the MK II and went up the stairs of the plane where the girl makes her eggs. During one of those briefings, she's playing her PSP. Couldn't really tell what game she was playing though. Oh and there's also what looks to be the Gunmetal PS3 on the table. Did anyone else catch that?

What a weirdo the first Act hardly has any cinematics just shows you how much you know. Japan is where Sony is dominating even over the Nintendo family the country where Sony was born.

You must be one of the Arrogant XBOX 360 owner getting upset that Bungie didn't finish the fight the way you wanted. The game can't even be done on the XBOX 360 and will do better on the Sony platform, where the real games will be coming. Don't get me wrong XBOX 360 is good but not PlayStation 3 good.

55 disagrees in just a few minutes. I guess the popular vote agrees that you fail in the area of console gaming observations. Try again and the next time, get it right and try less hard at being a fanboy. This is great news for Konami. In general, it takes a million copies sold to recoup the developement costs. They did it in one region and in one week and now anything else is icing on the cake.

Do you actually live in Europe or are you just guessing? RPGs do very well in Europe and Japan and not so well in the US, a lot of people in UK bought a PS2 for FFX. FPS do very well in US and Europe and not so well in Japan.

It's obvious that you haven't actually played MGS4, cos it's fantastic.

The PS3 has now shown you what its power can do.
The PS3 has now got the best upcoming lineup over the next year.

@ JASON: I agree with you on alot of points. you will get bubbles.

@ MAVERICK: alot of your information is a little off, but you have the right ideas. oh, and your video comment---I almost got fired(im at work) for laughing so hard in a meeting, then i farted too. that rap battle is the best one EVER shown on youtube. i'm still having minor giggle fits as i type this. you will get bubbles. AND honestly, thankyou for making my day.

@ KUNGFOOL: wow, you took the happy vibe maverick gave me, and ALMOST destroyed it. thank god that battle was so f*cking hilariously pathetic. AAA Titles 10/10 arriving? Like Haze?
Out selling the 360 for almost a year? If you count your years 2-3 months at a time, sure. I beat MGS4, i loved it, but the Online wasnt enough to keep me around. I'm already back to playing Halo and fooling around with my buds in GTA4, and I am gonna buy BattleField
Bad Company this weekend.
I like MGS2 better, and I think it was the creepy vibe you got when the General started to freak out on you. And MGS3....fighting the "Boss" was almost an emotional experience.
And dont get started on Blu-ray sh*t, b/c I stream FREE HD movies from my computer(torrents) to my 360. And getting free HD content will always be better than paying for it.
I am still waiting for my PS3 to impress me, sorry.
You'll get bubbles, but thats only b/c Mavericks video comment, stopped you from bringing me down.

Sorry to bring you down bro, I'm typically the voice of logic amongst the chaos, so I appologize for not being as entertaining. Every MAVERICK needs a GOOSE I guess, lol.

Anyhow, I think you should check your info before you dismiss my comment on the sales numbers. Worldwide, the PS3 has been outselling the 360 for almost a full year now, with Japan and Europe being particularly strong and North America showing the same trend the last 2 months.

MGS4 is a worldwide seller, GTA4 and Halo3 are national sellers for the most part

What's more important to up your rep in practically one nation, or to have the whole world know your system can execute masterpieces???

Doing this will build a worldwide base of unit sellers instead of one nation, and it's better to have the world at your door step than just one nation

Note: Not being fanboyish but 360 needs to have one of these games, they are trying but it seems certain regions the games are targeted towards are not biting

The sad part is, many of the overzealous 360 fans are still in denial about whats to come.

MGS4 was only phase one.

Just wait to see what happens when "Final Fantasy XIII", "Killzone2", "God of War III", "SOCOM Confrontation", "Gran Turismo 5" and "Resistance 2" start landing. Its going to get ugly for the 360.

It doesn't matter if its the "first" AAA game, point is, they are arriving and there are more coming.

What AAA games did you have in the first 8 months of 360 ownership before "Gears" landed? Kameo? Prey? Perfect Dark Zero? Bomberman Zero?

Look, you had your 1.5 year head start to brag about having games and carrying on about how the PS3 will be the next Dreamcast etc, but now the games are coming in, and now you guys are in damage control mode.
