does anyone know is Sephiroth's sword has a name?

I'm sure it does.....

My favourite sword would have to be:
Buster
Heavenly Sword
Blade Of Olympus
:D

thanks! I knew it had a name

I said it - I just missed out the 'sword' lol

I writ buster down there but I got lazy. I love that sword xD

Majin-vegeta4315d ago

No Buster Sword??That's a first.

buffalo10664315d ago

the buster sword is iconic but its not all that cool. its just a plain shape nothing really fancy about it

NatureOfLogic4315d ago (Edited 4315d ago )

"Master Sword - Zelda, The master sword has become an iconic sword over the years." *scratches head* also Master Sword is the most plain looking sword on the list. Buster Sword is known for It's unique shape and size.

You might not be a fan of FF7, but these two great swords are missing from your list.

i quite like the master sword. its nothing insane but i think its cooler than the buster sword. The image of link with the shield and master sword is cool

Utalkin2me4315d ago

Obviously you have problems with Greatest swords. Your article should have been coolest looking swords. Most of those swords fail on the greatest aspect.

Mr_Nuts4315d ago

No the Gunblade comes first...that is way cooler then the Buster Sword or as I call it the oversize Butchers knife.

HammadTheBeast4315d ago

Gunblade and Mitsurugi's Damascus Sword from SC for me.

Nicholasgliss4315d ago

Wait, not a single sword from Soul Caliber? Ivy has one of my favorites. Two;)

saikorican4315d ago

Soul Calibur is on the list.

Nicholasgliss4314d ago

Oops, I meant the other swords from SC.

buffalo10664315d ago

it would appear an entire post could be made dedicated to the swords of final fantasy :P

auron's and tidus's celestial weapons

To put it simply... two steps forward, one step back.

Abriael8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

That's not how that works.

Gaming revenue is already a balance of Content and Services +/- Hardware. So it's simply one step forward. Microsoft's gaming business is growing, and has been growing pretty much forever.

darthv728h ago

...two steps forward and one step back still amounts to one step forward, does it not?

Abriael8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

@darthv72: But in this case, it's more one step forward that would be pretty large, but is held back by some weight, so it's instead a bit smaller, but it's still a sizable step forward, since hardware weighs a lot less than content and services. Your comparison would work if C&S and Hardware were equivalent.

Really depends on your goal. I was told by Microsoft that they were still pushing hardware, so I don't know what to believe.

TheColbertinator8h ago

Another win for Microsoft. The haters can use the dog door to leave.

Hardware revenue will probably sit somewhere between 800M - 1B for the quarter.

And content & services make up around 75 - 80% of total gaming revenue. Total gaming revenue is up 5%.

While positive numbers are positive, I don't find +5% year-on-year in total revenue a great, not even a good result considering what they've been throwing into the pot since their last Q3.

I don't think they are happy with only a +5% payoff since and compared to last year's Q3, which was abysmal, despite these numbers are indicating "Positive!" at 1st glance.

Especially since in terms of revenue, hardware doesn't contribute a lot to overall revenue anymore ("only" -6% down, because there's no hardware really being sold anymore).

Well what do you know. When you release good games, good consecutive 1st party you output you actually make money.

Minus hardware of course.

I'll give credit where it's due. MS is starting to capture that old 360 energy when it comes to games and releases. It took them 14 years of having a clue but they seem to be doing it now. All will be lost if they step on rakes like they're known to do. Who knows how long it'll last.
