you just cant stop it

Man its great to see them in action actually having to work for top spot this time. Everything is so much better with this gen of ps3 doubt we'd have has much to be happy about without all the competition.

Never thought nintendo would come out so strong but that Wii is great stuff and whats more its bringing in ton and tons of first time console buyers. The 360 has a ton of rock solid titles and if M$ had put a hd and better than dvd support in every box woulda been my 1st choice. Still glad they didnt has Sony built a far more reliable product in the end. I mean if I would of been a first gen user getting rrod I'd prob be in jail for punching B.G in the head. Still now that they got a fixed sku out its not a bad buy especially if your one of the few die hard console fps fan.

However the ps3 is the best buy you get way more out of a 40/g ps3 than you do an elite. Whats more all that great stuff is on every box so devs can make b/r games and know they have a hd to use... This of course pays off in the games has were seeing the gap widen with every ps3 exclusive then their throwing in a free online service thats gonna be revolutionary free (to play) mmo games in the works etc. This is why Im betting they will be first place in 08 if not this xmas.

"Were number 4! Were number 4!" hahahahahhahahahahaha

sabbath4206015d ago

the main focus of a game consle should be the games. and for now weather u like it or not the 360 has all the best games and a better frame rate no less.

Hagaf226016d ago

ps3 number 4 in hardware sales, 360 number 6= good news but 1 billion in losses... kinda sounds like the 360 too...

DrPirate6016d ago

NDP results should make for an interesting read when they come out on the 9th (or 10th I think?)

IntelligentAj6016d ago

This is great news but let me see some official figures though.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis4h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast3h ago

It's worth a play through today.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7223h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK21h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast3h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake20h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast3h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon15h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast3h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
