@newmonday "Thank god for sanity, this is just sick"
N4G definitely isn't a good place to come if you want to deal with sane people.
@zootang "I'm suprised it doesn't do better, sales wise."
You have got to be joking, right? Let's look at the sales:
Forza Motorsport 2 - 4.08 million
Forza Motorsport 3 - 4.83 million
Forza is the 360's third best selling exclusive franchise, right behind Halo and Gears of War. In fact, the only PS3 exclusives to sell better than Forza 3 are GT5 and MGS4.
And if you meant you were surprised ...
Not surprising at all. The PSP is always in first place every week in Japan sales, while it is literally dead last in every other region. It's a backwards video game world over there. And Japan sales are such a tiny fraction of overall worldwide sales that it means very little.
You're right:
Crysis 2 Sales
X360: 57%
PS3: 29%
PC: 14%

Every single source has either said that the 360 version is superior, or both are equal. Who said that the PS3 version was superior? The PS3 version suffers from a lower resolution and overall lower framerate.
Kinect is the fastest selling consumer electronics device of all-time and is the sole reason the Xbox 360 continues to outsell the PS3.
And he pointed out Call of Duty sales because the series sells tons more on the 360 (as do most multiplatform games) yet this article claims that there are more active PS3 consoles. If that were true, the PS3's software sales would be even more terrible than we ever could have imagined.
@ayob
So that is 30 million Xbox LIVE accounts out of an install base of 53 million (Xbox 360), versus 60 million PSN accounts out of an install base of 116 million (PSP and PS3). There is no way to know how many of these accounts are unique on PSN, while on the 360, we know that there are at least 15 million Gold members, which means each one has to be unique, because they are paying for the service.
LOL, these are the same guys that predicted the PS3 would sell 127 million units in its lifetime, versus 103 million for the Wii.

Take this with a grain of salt. Imagine if these same analysts were saying something in favor of the 360. They would immediately be bashed, this article would be placed under t...
@malamdra "considering that PS3 released a year and a half later in Europe is even more impressive"
I wouldn't call anything about the PS3 "impressive" after the PS2's huge success last gen. The PlayStation brand went from the undeniable champ to still being in last place 5 years into this gen. And as for the 360's head start, it also had it on the Wii, yet Nintendo's console is way ahead of the competition.
You can make up...
The hypocrisy on N4G is absolutely ASTOUNDING!
@SilverSlug "Wow. 360 fanboys... OMG HALO SALES THIS FFFF KILLZONE... Now.. METACRITIC MAN!!!!"
Wow. PS3 fanboys... OMG Uncharted 2 96 METACRITIC... Now... SALES MAN!!!!

@Buho "Oh how things have changed. Xbox fanboys always bragged about sales, and now it's about scores/reviews again? LOL!"
Oh, how things have changed. PS3 fanboy...
Halo 3: 11.5 million
Uncharted 2: 4.5 million
Easy to understand:
Halo 3 is 10x better than Uncharted 2?
What better indicator of the quality of a game is there than Metacritic and other similar aggregator sites? If there is one, I'm not aware of it. Random fanboys' opinions? Sales?
And obviously the score difference between the 360 and PS3 version of Black Ops exists because the Xbox 360 version has a ton more reviews. If you take away the reviews exclusive to one version of the game, they would score exactly the same.
I agree at least to some extent with all of them except for L.A. Noire. It is set to be a huge success just like GTA IV and RDR. Why are they comparing it to Mafia II? While I very much enjoyed that game, it brought nothing new to the table, while L.A. Noire brings the incredible new MotionScan technology for the most realistic facial animations ever seen in games, and innovative new detective gameplay. It seems the writer of the article does not know very much about Rockstar's latest mas...
@cgoodno "So, this is the new way to say "Kinect has a ton of potential"? I'll believe it when I see it."
And then when you see it, you'll have to revert to new tactics to bash Kinect.
Actually, Killzone 2 took 2 weeks to reach 1 million sales. Killzone 3 took four weeks to reach the same milestone, with an extra 30 million potential customers.
Whatever....
You have got to be kidding me! My experience with Crysis 2 multiplayer has been pretty terrible so far. More then half of the games I'm in have one guy with four bars, and everyone else with 1 red bar. The lag is unbelievable sometimes. One time I went 20-6. What a surprise, I had four bars in that game. The next game I started going negative and it seemed that no matter how much I shot someone they still killed me first. I check and what a surprise, one bar!
One game the...
Forza 3 - 92 on Metacritic
GT5 - 84 on Metacritic
@Inzo
Well, if those are the standards we go by then Halo 3 is better than every single PS3 exclusive ever released, ever, with over 11 million sales to date.
Well if that's the 360 version, then we can expect the PS3 version to look pretty much the same, except with a slightly lower resolution and framerate.
