Didn't PS3's price cut push sales 170% higher? The 40% isn't even double the sales. And PS3 is STILL outselling 360 in the Uk (has been since Xmas, where they were selling neck and neck). Now with GT5P (already 1 mil preorders - I think retailer - in Europe alone), MGS4, GTA4 which Sony will have exclusive ads for, and the rest of PS3's 2008 year, Microsoft have NOTHING to celebrate about.
Not even a price slash put it above PS3. Come on! Before anyone says how I know, well...
2 of your top 5 aren't even exclusive, while 1 and 3 will definitely be on PC later. I didn't think Xbox was in THIS bad a state in 08, but, year of the PS3 and all.
If this was by choice and not by contract (unlikely), Namco deserve to see their hard work flop hard until the PS3 release. Same for every one of their 360 timed exclusives.
Tekken 6 however is never coming to 360, only PS3/Arcade. Enjoy PS3 owners. More games for us!
The whole idea is that it's as powerful as PS2 BUT you can take it anywhere with you to play games.
He can also shove it for ignoring PS3 after saying he only works on the most powerful console last gen. My @ss he does, PS3 is incomparably better than 360 but he's just an MS lover.
Apart from this NOT actually being a proper hack, i.e. BR is copy protection is still in place, good luck buying a Blu-ray burner or hard drives big enough to rip them. Hahaha.
Deserves 9.5+ The quality of those is still much MUCH better than any 360 games, and yet an 8.8 for THREE games and $30. Hell it's a better deal than Orange Box...
You'll rent it in non-HD quality while we rent them out in full HD for less than 70c as physical media. My blockbuster has a 70c per movie deal once a week.
MGS4 is not PS3's biggest game. There's a little thing called GT5 which matched Grand Theft Auto in its 3rd iteration and doubles Halo/Smash Bros sales just. like. that.
Of course MGS4 has a big chance of matching Halo, but will easily topple Gears or Zelda as a secondary tier seller.
Mass Effect is trash. The graphics are NOTHING compared to Uncharted or GT5Prologue, and the ratings are baseless. needs more 7.x to teach bioware a lesson about telling crap stories with crap controls, crap game systems and an unoptimised engine. The hype got to them.
Just because Kojima says its exclusive doesn't mean the publisher doesn't want more monies.
Only differences here: Nothing on 360 can't be replicated on PS3, and improved Kojima actually has say - and his own studio Konami is not a notorious multiformat publisher like EA Mass Effect 2 will sell better on PS3 than PC, so they WILL make the PS3 port.
So bioware devs are just not even trying to make their game the best it can be, while Kojima is ...
But not even the mighty PS2, the greatest console of all time can outsell the iPod (though PS2 doesn't come in a hundred different configurations and isn't portable), so how could PSP?
GT5P is a better game on its own than Forza 2 and most FULL PRICED racing games. It costs <20 pounds ffs. If it cost 60USD, then yes, unreasonable. But the article says a few hours can be spent with it...try a few HUNDRED.
The war's over in Europe - 360 had a MASSIVE cut last year too in mainland Europe, while PS3 blew past and actually sold out in many places in France, Spain, Germany. Now imagine having the most killer software like GT5, MGS4, Motorstorm 2, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Littlebigplanet - all will sell more than Gears 2 which will be 360's highest selling game this year.
I expect Sony to go in for the kill this holiday season with a price cut, riding the momentum of superior games until then. MGS4 will annihilate any hopes 360 thinks it had when it's out, and even with the cuts in Europe, 360 continues to sell next to nothing while PS3 rockets past.
Look at the list! Arcade port ANOTHER Worms Rehash ($50 TOO! Rip off) Multiplat, a Sega multiplat no less Uggh...Gamec0ck game PS2 port Another PS2 port Multiplat monster builder FF spin off that's the lesser of a basic PSN/XBLA game ANOTHER Harvest Moon game that came out last June (in Japan) And ANOTHER multiplat which will be horribly inferior as Wii is not treated as the lowest common denominator in PSWii60 development, 360 is. ...
You admit it's not exclusive right now (it's on PC too for christ's sake), or a couple months from now you weep as you lose yet ANOTHER exclusive. God, this must be no#30 within a single year.
Anyway, the expansion to a sh!tty game will be a sh!tty game. Which Ps3 owners did not buy. And will not miss.
That, I truly hope for.
$20-50 for 1TB in a few years sounds like gold to me.
I seriously need more, cheap space.

Hahaha.
And confirmed that physical media>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>>DD for at least another half century.
This isn't full HD, and it isn't a substitute for Blu-ray.
Get a PS3 if you want the best HD games AND movies.
Deserves 9.5+

Jesus it must suck to know that THIS is the future for you if you're a Wii owner.
As for competing with GT5P, hell, it's blown Forza 2 clean off the planet, and it's not even the full game!

ONLINE, GTTV, 60 cars etc
More than most games.

I'll pass.
I won't even care when it comes to PS3.

It's over.
Look at the list!
Arcade port
ANOTHER Worms Rehash ($50 TOO! Rip off)
Multiplat, a Sega multiplat no less
Uggh...Gamec0ck game
PS2 port
Another PS2 port
Multiplat monster builder
FF spin off that's the lesser of a basic PSN/XBLA game
ANOTHER Harvest Moon game that came out last June (in Japan)
