will be at the bottom this holiday season. It makes no since to buy a PofS3 this year. There still is not enough good games until possibly next year. The 360 will out shine the rest this year with the incredible line up of blockbuster games coming out. I won't list the games here, everyone knows what’s coming out. Just you wait and see, but if I were you, I would Jump in. Xbox 360 baby!!!
Don't get me wrong, I will possibly get a PofS3, but not until there are some good games for it and they drop the price to about $250. That's about what it's worth to me since it wouldn't get played as much as the 360.
simply for the fact that all systems seem to have some great titles all out there around the same time. i can't really guess who my pick would be because as good as 1 platform looks, the other looks just as promising
The hype of the limited price drop has got many of people buying it before the price is back to 600 with the new standalon model. The sales of course are going up. The thing is if they drop the 80GB down to 500 the sales will continue up through the holiday season. Other than that Sony has it's worked cut out for itself trying to regain some loss ground.
but dont forget that 360 lineup is also very strong and legendary HALO3 is in this holiday season to steal the show and legendary GTA IV. well i m playing disgaea 2 thats y legendary word is into my speaking loz
hey can some one brought my fifth bubble back no less no more. :) wheres GMRZ these days? he always had a nice bu*t pic :)
i Thought for sure Microsoft had this Christmas in the Bag after that Game Line up, and only some 360's are getting repaired my 360 has never broke down and i've have it since Launch, but maby Sony will come up with some Idea to take this Hoiliday Season i don't see how they can with Microsoft's Halo 3 and MASS EFFECT coming out i highly doubt Sony will beat Microsoft's LineUp, but please someone correct me if im wrong
Halo isn't going to sell consoles. The game itself will sell millions of copies, but the people who bought the broken 360 bought it at launch in aticipation for HALO 3. So unless people are waiting to buy 360's for Halo 3, Sony will win the holiday season based on the hype they created at E3.
why do you thing halo 2 still at top of live in xbox 1, because there are millions of Halo fans waiting for Halo 3 before they buy xbox360, so the new HALO edition 360 which comes with HDMI, hence different motherboard design no defection, will sell as hot cake
The hype created at e3 out of all my friends I was the only one aware of e3 they are always asking me whens halo 3 coming out cause thats when they wana buy their xbox 360.
Somebody needs to tell the author to take a second look at KZ2. Where's the normal maps or self-shadowing? (The shadows were only cast from the silhouette of the model onto walls)
Quote from article: "Killzone 2 certainly stole the show, showing in-game graphics that, according to many that were there, already look better than Gears of War and reaching the level of detail found in the pre-rendered trailer."
Fanboyism aside... I think it's too early to declare a winner... just yet... but never the less I think all consoles will do great in terms of sells.. (asuming that Nintendo can supply demands). Obviously Fanboys and people that have a console of choice will say things like, "plus all the 360 will be getting repaired"... but in reality... with so many games being release this fall (i.e. Halo3, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Blue Dragon, Lost Odissey....) and probably a price drop (rumor by $100)...
The crazy thing about it.. is that 90% of the games listed on this article are multiplatform and will also be available on the xbox 360. A few of the key exclusive for the PS3 (Final Fantasy(rumor) + Metal Gear) will not be available until 2008.
I think this Xmas is going to be too close to declare a winner since all consoles have a ton of great games being release. Games like warhawk, and lair will keep those PS3 moving.
But to think that the xbox 360 sales will simply drop now that the games that lots of people have being waiting for a long time will finally be released... it's just an attempt to start a flamewar.
Just get both consoles and let the fanboys worry about which console sells more on retail stores...
I'm not saying the 360 sales will drop, but compared the the PS3's huge increase in sells I woul say sony has a good chance of making up lost ground and coming away with some dignity after this holiday season.
Nintendo sales will gradually level off and then drop, PS3 sales will increase NEXT YEAR (some this year due to price drop) 360 sales will be awesome over the holiday because of all the games coming out 4th quarter of this year.
Again you fail to realize there is still the ps2 and the psp. Sony will have another great christmass and the ps3 will have a god one also. SONY will have the best holiday season
Most ps3 owners won`t buy x360 and won`t buy x360 games. So why they should care about x360 games?
You have your games, have fun. Why come here and try to prove something? You won`t change anyones opionion. If someone is intrested in LO, ME, H3, 2H, PGR4 - than he would already bought x360.
I mean, With Turok, Half-Life2: OrangeBox, ViruaFighter5, Sega Rally Revo, Assasin's Creed, GrandTheftIV, NGS, Lair, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, LBP, Folklore, GT5 Prologue, Haze, UT3, Pain, Ratchet, Dirt, Burnout5, NFS, MoH:A, BiA3, CoD4 - with so many games on ps3, i don`t see how anyone will have enough TIME to play ALL of them. =)) Then why to bother about x360? AND with FREE(!) multiplayer. ;)
Anyway, only time will show, who will win this Christmas. Just to think, did anyone of you knew, that sony will make a price cut on 60GB model before E3? I am more then sure, NO. So for now it`s pointless to argue.
p.s. anyone to help return my 4th bubble back? thnx. =)
with a price cut by 100$.. maybe. I mean 199$ for Halo3, LO, BD, EA, PGR4 and etc. it`s not much. but again, we don`t know how many ps3 were sold during last week yet, thnx to a 100$ price cut. we don`t know how many x360 will sell after a price cut. We don`t know will that price cut be, because M$ are going to spend 1 bln. only on repairs. And we don`t know how soon will ps3 80GB price cut again.
but there are some facts, with ps3 sold only ~1,5 mln. in usa and x360 with 6,5 mln. preorders for gta4 are 41%(ps3) to 59%(x360). I mean, the difference in software is very small, when in hardware is 19% to 81%.
Why would anyone want to buy a PS3 when the 360 is getting: H2, ME, COD4, VF5, ACE6, Turok, HL2: Orange Box, Too Human, PGR4,A Creed, Haze and UT in 08, GTA4(With Two exclusive Episodes in the future.) and all those with a good MP. Get it? Most of the games you mentioned are Multiplatform im too lazy to write them all down...
reliability. hotpoint vs bosh or fiat vs toyota if you know what i mean. These consoles are mini investments. More games but how many can the average consumer buy at 1 time. Anyway both should have good end of year sales. 360 would of sold more IF they had let haze and UT3 release this year but i suppose MS didnt want anything to mess with halo sales.
and the only...PS3... don't care much about 360. I played Halo on PC... I didn't think it was anything special. But I have been playing computer games for many years... I think most of the people that think highly of Halo series... that either never played computer games online before... If halo 3 just for PC... it will not rank as high...
if you want true next-gen...get high end PC...
don't forget PS3 got UT3 this holiday...almost identical to PC version...
Well, that is just my own opinion...
screw you 360 users if you're saying something bad about my post..I have to say this...becoz I have only 1 post...:)
love you 360 users too...if you're saying something nice...but unlikely...
The article doesn't mention Microsoft or Nintendo. The title is not "Why Sony will beat Microsoft and Nintendo this holiday season". It says why Sony will win. No need to get defensive either, that doesn't mean Nintendo or Microsoft will lose. They are only talking about Sony's own path. If Sony follows its own path (and not the competitor's path), they will win. And of course, PS3 owners are definitely in for a treat this holiday season.
No one says 360 fans or Wii fans won't have anything, because they sure as hell will (well, on the Wii not so much, but they still will). In the end, every company will win, and gamers alike.
Of course fanboys will say "We're in for THE BETTER treat, unlike those OTHER CONSOLE fanboys which are idiots/retards/lemmings/wrong! ". First of all, all consoles will have so many games, that no hardcore gamer will be able to play them all on holiday season. Everyone will have to choose.
And between PS3 and 360, the choices will be so vast in games, that the difference will hardly matter. But even if it does matter, in the end it's up to your preference, there's something for everyone. To each his own game. Personally, I think PS3 and 360 have both unmissable titles, I don't care which has "15% more titles" or whatever. Both'll be great. And in my own tastes, I prefer Sony's offering for the holiday season and then on.
Happy gaming... gamers.
Edit:
And by the way, what I mean by Sony winning... I mean Sony making some profit (out of games and media), increasing install base somewhat for PS3, and especially for Blu-ray.
That article in no way says that the other consoles will have bad holidays... In fact, it is a three part piece with one part devoted to why that console will win...
The PS3 fans will be happily orgasmic this holiday season over Lair, Rachet and Clank, Killzone 2, and others. The Wii fans will find themselves sweating to WiiFit and drooling over Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3. The XBOX 360 fans will be hypnotically glued to Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, and others.
This holiday season everyone wins. Their will be no loser, unless someone REALLY screws up somewhere.
This wasn't an isolated fanboy rant. MyArcadePlanet.com is running a series of three articles devoted to each console, and while this author concentrated on the PS3, there's already another article on why the 360 will win this holiday season.
I agree with you (that no amount of fanboyism will change the fact that all gamers will be having a great holiday) but it's nice to see everything packed into one place.
Sony will have a HUGE holiday season this year, period. With titles like Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Killzone 2, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Ratchet and Clank Future, and if the system takes a cut in price the PS3 is going to jump in sales significantly.
This doesn't mean Sony will "win" this holiday season. I believe Sony's "win" will be a win for themselves and won't be a win against competitor Microsoft, nevermind the Wii since that system is in a league of its own. Sony's win is going to be a win for their company in sales and in recognition.
I think Microsoft on the other hand will find itself lacking. The XBOX 360 will have similar sales that will be comparable to Sony and Nintendo but I don't believe Microsoft will pull off any record breaking sales or even find themselves in a sales increase from the last holiday season. Granted it will have a few great games worth getting but ultimately this holiday season will be Sony's and Nintendo's.
I think we'll find that the most publicity and interest will be had by Nintendo and their new entry into the casual gaming market with WiiFit. Stick that in the box with Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Nights, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Nintendo is going to be surrounded by some serious buzz this holiday season, and possibly more so than the PS3.
EDIT: My apologies for incorrectly stating PS3's holiday releases but it's still getting some awesome titles and my point still stands.
Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Killzone 2, all coming 2008 ,this is when i will consider buying it if 2/3 donot come to 360. plus people will not pay 425£ this year to play AAA game next year
i'm pretty excited for this holiday, it's always nice to have a lot of games coming out and having so many to choose from. i personally only have a ps3 so i'm only getting the ps3 games, ratchet and clank, haze, exc. but if i had a 360 i'd be just as happy to play halo 3, and others.
Halo is more for halo fans. Ok, MP is more funnier on Warhawk. UT3 also will be a great game this Christmas. Haze probably won`t dissapoint too. KZ2 MP beta coming to later this year.
mass effect - i like story, i like sci-fi, but for now i am not impressive with that game, it`s mroe for KOTOR fans. Also, for mass effect high chances to come to PC, it`s UE3.0 you know. And with so many games this year, people can wait for that game on pc.
PGR4 vs GT5 Prologue. Like 15 mln. GT fans vs ? =)) No more comments.
Being real, PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES - and many don`t care about mass effect. Just look at Hottest Games on this site. Many people don`t care for Halo3, ME, PGR4 just like YOU do.
crazzyman. ummm.. GT5 is comming out like late 2008. WE ARE TALKIN ABOUT THIS HOLIDAY. with Forza already apealing to the racing sim fans, PGR4 will surely turn heads.
Warhawk. Is a game i cannot speak for, but be real.... Halo is one of the top games being played online.
KZ2. will already be getting pwned by upcomming titles such as TUROK, UT3, HAZE, TIMEshift, COD4.
Hot games is where 360 delivers for the holidays. Shooter: Halo3/Bioshock RPG: Mass Effect Adventure/Action: Conviction Jrpg: Blue Dragon, ETERNAL sonata.
It's true people have different tastes. but wouldnt you say that 360 delivers for all types of gamers?? The Holiday line up + the incredible library already available?
360 will be lowering the price of the core to $199 and include a memory card...... how the hell can sony compete with that???
i mean as long as the selves are stocked, the mass market will be buying the 360 at that price this holiday season..
maybe next year with sony getting its big games MGS4, FF, and KZ2 and another price drop, and home running smoothly...maybe then it can pick up on sales.... but hopefully for sony it wont be too late.
starting it off... first people where not that empressed with the GPU and PRO. POWER of the ps3 ..simply the xbox 360 was inferrior in everything both developers and xbox fans agreed on this... NOW all i can say F**K .. as u have seen e3 kicked ass but it wasnt a head turner as the last one but after 8 months from release , the ps3 is now officailly the big bad powerfull console of this gen.. even xbox fans and developers agree to this .. so wats their opinion about ps3 now.. no big change they just said that the ps3 has better graphics and spec but the xbox is better (keep in mind that the main aspect of the war was specs) the ps3 has mgs4 so wat we have halo. ps3 has heanly sword we have halo. the ps3 has kz2 we have halo and gow(but its on pc) the ps3 has ut3 we have halo. i mean give it a break the company made a console that had hd failure rate up 33-35% and ms has admited to that... so how do they respond...a new elite version that supports full hd, a halo look and a new motherboard (some might find this amazing but i dont) i mean financial wise they are now losin millions (fixing the borken down consoles and givg 3 year warranty ) plus what do they offer hd and a new motherboard, so wat the ps3 already has hd and uptodate specs.. and is already out i mean they are already in stores not to be released.. anyway my point is the ms let down there fans by make a BAD quality console. and they still let there fans believe that is still top notch i dont know i think the xbox is a great console turely a beatiful peace of work (but not so beauttiful after all) but no hate just pure love i luv both consoles but they should being so em protective and snobby cause they have nothin to be purely proud off. as fas as sales well i live in egypt and let me tell u just how many people now about the xbox 1 em its like 95% egyptians now about the ps and a good bunch own a ps3 just 5% heard of the xbox and just saw the xbox so bascially the ps3 sells everywhere (not mention their sutiation in japan and most of asia nad australlia) so how is the xbox acutally sellin more.. u tell me
Content sales consoles and right now and thru the XMAS season the 360 has the best line up. The Ps3 could become CHAMP when it's all said and done but it's still early and let's just enjoy our games and consoles !!!!
Wow I read that title and skipped past all the posts. I just had to let everyone know how funny that title was to me. I may have sh1t myself.
Seriously. C'mon. Open your eyes for just a second. There is no way PS3 has this holiday season wrapped up.
M$ has this holiday on TOTAL NAZI LOCKDOWN. NO 12 HR PASSES, NOTHING.
Sony has a chance to stop competing with the Gameboy Advance sometime next year. *Chuckles*
Fanboyism aside, M$ has mega earth shattering 1000000 to the 10th power inch CANNONS this holiday season. While Sony is trying to 1up them with a measly Darringer? Sony should just go into hibernation mode, bc this winter they arent going to be happy with sales. Maybe next year when we start to see the great games pour out.
This article was pointless. It said the PS3 will have a great Christmas because...then listed all the decent games coming to it, multiplatform and exclusive. A few of the games aren't even confirmed for this year.
By that logic, couldn't you just list all of, say, the 360's games releasing this year. Depending on your taste in games, Mass Effect and Bioshock, very deep and hardcore games, could be much more appealing than a hacker like Heavenly or a dragons shooting fireballs game like Lair. And don't forget that the 360 is getting what will be the best selling game of the year with over 4 million in preorders alone.
Not trying to sound like a fanboy, it is just that this article seemed like a PR piece for Sony's stellar fall lineup. MS also has a stellar fall lineup. What exactly sets them apart?
Price, games, and worthwhile features are the three things that have been holding Sony back. At E3, they squashed all of those (well, at least two of those, since the price cut was a bit misleading), and that's exactly what the article explains.
PR is the biggest thing holding the PS3 back, and Sony did an excellent job of showing the media (and therefore the public) what is in store for the near future.
Well here is a reason - I will be buying nearly all of my games on PS3 rather than my 360. Don't get me wrong, i'll be getting Bioshock, Mass effect for 360, and Uncharted, Warhawk, Heavenly sword on PS3. But overall including multiformat games {such as Assassins creed, Mercenaries 2 etc} most i will get for PS3. Why? PS3 is a reliable machine. xbox 360 has serious hardware problems.
sounds like roger fedderer lolz well the lineup is astounding and extensive. i hope PS fans buy games to reach these AAA titles to millions of sales. we still want gears of war success type game lolz well in the playstation case its not 1 its many :)
happy gamez
i think sony will have a good Christmas
followed by the wii
plus all the 360 will be getting repaired
did he forget haze
Actually quite a true argument.
Shame 360 fanboys are here to ruin the day when they hear this...
