[Odion]

Everyone was saying EA was selling more on PS3 but clearly not thats not true.

[green]

Wow you have to combine the revenue that EA got from the PS3,PC and Wii to even get close to the revenue they got from the 360.360 really does push software.

[Beast_Master]

This is not gonna be good.

FLAME ON!!

Promising that PS3 is second and with Mirror's edge and Dead Space selling well the numbers will be a little better, but with L4D being basically a 360 console exclusive we may see these same margins. boy they should give up on the Wii though Boom Blocks was an exclusive and they also got Rockband in May (Q2) and all the Sports titles, and still where in last place.

[Beast_Master]

Did any one see this!!
YOY%
Xbox 360 +3%
PLAYSTATION 3 +476%

Year over year change up 400+ percent this title is EPIC FAIL FOR NOT POINTING THAT OUT!!!

[Gam71]

That shows how bad that year must have been.

All ps3 numbers have been up since last year, HW, SW, because they had a bad year to build from.

[FCC]

Just to think a week ago, PS3 fanboys were gloating because the Xbox 360 no longer pushed as software as the PS3 therefore it's dead... The numbers really do show... This is embarrassing, I'll link the original article.

http://n4g.com/industrynews...

Wow... That's more embarrassing than I imagined... Shame on you ThatCanandianGuy420 and the 136 people who agreed with him.

I feel a little embarrassed for you guys too...

[vasilisk]

And I feel a little embarassed for you...
When he wrote the article he didn't have EA's Q2, did he?
So when the article was written, according to Q1 numbers and last year's Q4, which were the only numbers he had at hand, he was actually right, wasn't he?

[FCC]

vasilisk, maybe you don't understand who I'm currently addressing. I clearly state PS3 FANBOYS in my comment and I link to the comments on the article.

I feel even more embarrassed for you because you have no reading comprehension... I wonder how you get your bubbles...

Nice try on the spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin.

Don't reply again unless you're apologizing, honestly.

EDIT: I see your disagree vasilisk, apologizing isn't that embarrassing, in contrast of what you did. Apologizing only makes you the better man and it's over with. I won't judge you.

[vasilisk]

Dude, I'm not spinning and the only fanboy I'm seeing between us is clearly you. And as far as the reading comprehension comment, everyone with a little bit of common sense can clearly see who's lacking in that department.
All I'm saying is that when the article was written he didn't have EA's Q2. Did he? Nope, and I really feel sorry for your reading comprehension.
If you actually read the report you would see that for Q1 the revenue was 81mil for the 360 and 139mil for PS3. As for last year's Q4 it was 128mil for 360 and 159mil for PS3. Were these the numbers he had at hand when he wrote the article? Yes, and now I'm really really feeling sorry for your reading comprehension.
Actually take the time to actually READ what other people are saying before posting next time.

[Be Reasonable]

Jesus Chirst, Moderator you can ban me I don't care anymore but honestly, YOU STILL FAIL AT READING COMPREHENSION. Maybe I didn't clarify clearly enough, I meant comments on the N4G page on the link. Not the article itself. It's a misinterpretation but still honestly if I thought the comments inside the actual article was PS3 Fanboy then obviously it'd be reading comprehension fail, but it's not the case.

[Nineball2112]

If you notice, on page 19, the Year Over Year (YOY) % change for the PS3 platform has improved 476%.

Q2 FY08 = 17
Q2 FY09 = 98

Yeah, that's FAR below the units sold for Xbox 360, but that's definitely the right trend! :-)

Hey, I gotta spin it the best I can, right? ;-)

[Mozilla89]

Any improvement is a good improvement. But still aren't most companies releasing their Q3 profits now? So why is this Q2?

[creeping judas]

ill give you a bubble for being honest about the spinning!!!

allthough it is a good point, EA will see the reason to make more games on the PS3 and make them better at the same time.

[Nineball2112]

Thanks Creeping Judas.

Bubbles back at ya!

[kewlkat007]

"If you notice, on page 19, the Year Over Year (YOY) % change for the PS3 platform has improved 476%.

Q2 FY08 = 17
Q2 FY09 = 98 "

Always a bright side..eh

Some have to remember EA was putting out inferior products on the PS3 early so seems like they are redeeming themselves. Still Xbox 360 brings home the Bacon.

[Lord Xire]

EA knows the 360 is a breadwinner.

Without the 360 getting that close to 1billion$ would have been impossible.

Just make sure a hefty sum of that goes towards Dead Space 2 and Mass Effect 2.

[FCC]

True, quality is really improving on the PS3 since the dreaded Orange Box. Before anyone starts getting overboard and starts claiming Dead Space was on PS3 lead meaning the PS3 is better, (happens a lot when Dead Space is mentioned) it was actually 360 lead and was polished beyond polished on the PS3 version.

http://www.videogamer.com/n...

"He added: "Right now we're leading and building and doing everything on the 360. Pretty soon in a month or two we will switch and lead on the PS3. That is so that you're not downgrading the PS3 later. We're putting all our engineering muscle into making the PS3 great, and then we'll know that the 360 will be great."

However, when asked if there will be any differences between the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, Schofield said: "The plan has to be, and it will be, on parity with the 360.""

Just a little snippet.

[gamerdude11]

EA makes a point to have you focus on the non-GAAP numbers because they do not include revenue deferrals. EA feels that the non-GAAP numbers give a better reflection of how their business is operating. The GAAP numbers were posted last quarter as well, and they incorrectly showed the PS3 had outsold the 360.

non-GAAP revenue.
360 224
PS3 166
PS2 77
Wii 60

[Darkseider]

Score an agree and a bubble for someone who knows what GAAP and Non-GAAP refer to!

[cellfluid]

Im confuse by these numbers what's really goin on?

[FCC]

The Analysis from 4 days ago was looked to be a pseudo-truth article but it really was just a guesstimate... they said the PS3 is making MORE money for EA but not more than the Xbox 360 I'm pretty sure, or their lying.

http://www.n4g.com/industry...

[GiantEnemyLobster]

360: $224 million
Ps3: $98 million

Well, I guess we know who the true winner is, as usual.

[Guitarded]

You weren't supposed to come in this thread. The SDF doesn't want this story to get hot so your orders are to stay away. Their going to rank you down now. Got to give you some credit though. You got balls to come in here and be humiliated, yet continue to try and defend yourself or change the subject to draw attention away from the fact that you were and are WRONG! Good thing you ran out of bubbles. It was starting to get embarrassing. Funniest comment ever, Air1 comment 7.0

[Blademask]

wow.

[360 man]

wait i thought EA was selling more on ps3 ;-(

[BlackTar187]

Im happy for the 360 I thought ps3 made them more money. maybe im not reading this right but it doesnt look like it

[360 man]

why do third partys even bother with wii

i think we can all agree on that

[Captain_Sony]

Thats just stupid.. Are you honestly so misinformed that you think EA put the same games out on Wii as it did the 360? No they didnt. Other than their core games, they left most of their franchises to 360. When you dont put the games out you dont get the sales.

[Lord Vader]

lol, where's all the PS3 sales dominance as aforementioned in another apparant fanboy article...

LMAO

Q2 PLATFORM NET REVENUE MIX (In millions)

360 224 Mill

????????????????????????????? ?????

[ultimolu]

,,,I guess this confirms that the PS3 sucks!
/sarcasm
EA is making money off of BOTH consoles.

[elorm9]

It's quite obvious that they made more than half the amount of money from the Xbox. Of course, the PS3 still has a long way to go though.

[ultimolu]

...Right.
And accept what exactly? Still doesn't change the fact that I'm enjoying my PS3.

[Guitarded]

At selling games. With more than 3/4 the WW install base and less than half of the revenue. How are those Bluray movies working for you? PS3, jack of all trades and master of none. Doesn't change the fact that you are enjoying your PS3 now, but what about the future? At least you have your, mostly crappy, 1st party games. Enjoy fool.

[FCC]

http://www.n4g.com/industry...

Read comment 1.0, ThatCanadianGuy420's post
then scroll down to comment 1.12, Power of Green's post... the truth

I love the fact that everyone was agreeing that the 360 wasn't selling big anymore and for the big kicker...

ultimolu - 4 days 1 hour ago
1.16 -
Yep, agreed.

Comment 1.16... You agree with what? The sales are actually RROD replacements or the fact that the Xbox 360 isn't selling big anymore?

Don't spew such ridiculousness here without actual substance or without looking at the past, it's like thinking that the Miami Dolphins who are 3-4-0 are going to beat the Patriots who are 5-2-0 in the standings for the East... It's ridiculous. Please, save yourself the embarrassment.

[ultimolu]

Xbox 360 +3%
PLAYSTATION 3 +476%

...And yet the 360 fanboys missed this piece.
I remembered seeing that in the report.

Correction: You all fail at life. :)

And FFC? Is this another troll account by the high and mighty 360 fanboys?

Don't embarrass yourself.

[Be Reasonable]

OK, please stop embarrassing yourself. And you say he's a troll/new account xbot, he's embarrassing myself and he fails at life?

Was the 476% increase in sales from poor sales from the earlier year in the analysis? No.

Did people still comment that the 360 wasn't the main platform and that PS3 is now the cashcow for EA? Yes.

Did you agree with the 476% increase from the analysis that wasn't there? Apparently.

You tried pretty hard to spin it, good try. Fanboys? Look at yourself, no one is talking about this article, we're talking about the comments in the analysis... Comprehend reading much? I see that in the report to but that's irrelevant as we're talking about you and the comments and how you agreed.

/embarrassment for him apparently.

[ultimolu]

So FFC and Be Reasonable is the same person?
Okay then.

[Be Reasonable]

"Fresh new start. :)
That's all you need to know."

Don't worry, I made this account to use the name, Be Reasonable. Try it sometime, I like how you completely ignored everything I typed and only saw that I was referring to myself.

[ultimolu]

I made this account because I wanted to change my username.
You deliberately made one more account to troll.
Big difference.

Also, I did not ignore what you said.

It just reeks of bullsh*t as usual.

[Be Reasonable]

Troll? How is telling the truth trolling? I wanted to change my name to Be Reasonable so maybe you can read my name. I like how you edited your comment, it used to say:

"EA still made more money with Sony" instead of "It just reeks of bullsh*t as usual." Both not backed with facts. How is my claims bullsh*t?

And I made a new account for trolling? I don't know but if I checked your comment history on Juuken and this one I bet I can find fanboy and trolling which makes any claims you make hypocritical.

[ultimolu]

*LOOK AT* the numbers I just posted. Does that not tell you anything?
I changed what I said because I wanted to change it. The post I made there speaks for itself.

And your comments do reek of bullsh*t. Why use both accounts to make comments?

Up to now...I still don't understand why 360 fanboys hate the PS3 and Sony with such a burning passion.

Don't you guys think that this console war should end? It's getting tiring.

[Be Reasonable]

"And your comments do reek of bullsh*t. Why use both accounts to make comments?"

Once again I can say the same to you, and I told you I did it to make a point which apparently failed to get through to you. Oh well. I also don't have as many bubbles as you, I don't magically get 4 bubbles within the same day I made the account like yourself, fanboys prevent that. Browse my comment history, until now I haven't done anything but state my opinion, however I lost a bubble anyways.

Now let me put this in perspective, why does PS3 owners hate 360 owners with a burning passion? Don't tell me they don't because I can pull out many many articles. You know as a fact that the ratio here on N4G is around 5 Sony fanboys to 1 Microsoft fanboy. It's not really a console war here but more of a console war massacre... outnumbered by a lot and represented by retards no less...

Yes with your edit you added the console wars should end bit. Maybe you should stop before you posting something like that.

You're still not answering me what you agreed to on the link, trying to get away from answering it I see.

@360 man

It's not really intellectual but it's common sense and basic, I still don't get the answer I wanted from Juuken/ultimolu. I've seen people on this site get away from the main question and stray off topic and talk about something else which makes it seem like they're right when their not.

Juuken, I see no reply.

[360 man]

lool be reasonable thats some serious intellectual talk there

have a bubble

EDIT: is ultimolu really juuken looool

HEY JUUKEN what u doing underneath that sack cloth ?

[ultimolu]

"Once again I can say the same to you, and I told you I did it to make a point which apparently failed to get through to you. Oh well. I also don't have as many bubbles as you, I don't magically get 4 bubbles within the same day I made the account like yourself, fanboys prevent that. Browse my comment history, until now I haven't done anything but state my opinion, however I lost a bubble anyways."

Maybe because your comments are a bit too out there. I lost bubbles as well. Do you know how many times I was reported unfairly, debubbled, attacked with multiple accounts baring my username? I went through enough harassment from 360 fanboys who would rather slam the disagree button than to PROVE ME WRONG. Maybe I'm just sick and tired of 360 fanboys acting as if their console is God's gift to mankind. Maybe I'm sick and tired of having to defend a console I bought on my own free will because someone was stupid enough to call it a $600.00 bluray player. You can say the same thing about the 360 and the RROD but the fact of the matter is that it still exists. That is why I am not fond of the 360 at the moment.

I state my own opinions as well and yet I was debubbled for that. You honestly think it doesn't work both ways?

"Now let me put this in perspective, why does PS3 owners hate 360 owners with a burning passion?"

Oh, I don't know? RROD? Faulty hardware? Maybe they just hate Microsoft. You still didn't answer *my* question as to why 360 fanboys hate the PS3 and Sony. This hatred was started from since 2007. PS3 fans had to put up with this sh*tty notion of 'THE PS3 HAS NO GAMES!' 'THE PS3 IS JUST A BLURAY PLAYER!'. On top of that, you had people who were too damn impatient and attacked Sony on every little thing they did, no matter how much of an improvement it was.

I have said a million times already I do not hate the 360 entirely but it's unreliability leaves a bad taste in my mouth. You can argue and say that all electronics break but I have never seen a system break this many times and yet people are STUPID enough to keep buying it. And don't give that crap about the games. I don't care how many games a system has. If it breaks more than three times, then what is the use of keeping it?

"Don't tell me they don't because I can pull out many many articles."

Never said they didn't. And I can pull out as many articles proving that 360 fanboys hate the PS3 and Sony fans with a burning passion as well.

"You know as a fact that the ratio here on N4G is around 5 Sony fanboys to 1 Microsoft fanboy."

And when I came here in April 2008, it was a whole bunch of 360 fanboys ganging up on PS3 owners because they bought a "$600.00 bluray player."

You guys started these attacks first and PS3 fans defended themselves with attacks and rebuttals. I was guilty of that as well and I feel bad about it because I want this crap to end.

"It's not really a console war here but more of a Console war massacre... outnumbered by a lot and represented by retards no less..."

And you make up the majority of retards here. Tell me, how does it make you feel claiming that the PS3 is inferior to the 360? Does it make your manhood grow bigger or something? I personally feel both consoles are almost equal, except for the fact that the PS3 has special features that makes it stand out.

That's *my* opinion.

"Yes with your edit you added the console wars should end bit. Maybe you should stop before you posting something like that."

Maybe you should stop looking at my editing for once and understand the reason *why* I said this.

I'M SICK OF IT.

"You're still not answering me what you agreed to on the link, trying to get away from answering it I see."

You didn't answer my comments either. We're at a draw and this is my last bubble. But I'm sure you have your other account to use to respond to this.

Go ahead, I don't care.

I see 360 man is there to defend your ass. Really, really sad. Oh? You don't see a reply from me?

You see one now.

[FCC]

@360 man
Yes it's Juuken, you can tell from the avatar, the same attitude, the same posts.

@Juuken/ultimolu

What questions did you ask?

Why did I make a new account? Mostly to make a point, secondly to post more cause it's unfair that you have more talk then I do. Why would you get more bubbles then me? Your opinion is more valuble then mine? Your opinions are based on the PS3 and the majority of site likes that which equals bubbles, usually not fanboyish but sometimes it is.

I make opinions based on the 360 with no fanboyism but I end up defending the 360 because a PS3 troll comes along, I lose bubbles cause my opinion is not the opinion of the majority. How is that fair that I can't defend myself against people like you?

You also asked if the console war is tiring which I answered yes, you are also sometimes a fanboy. It's like don't eat the pizza while you're eating the pizza. Great.

Now that's all your questions and I had one question which you now avoid answering because you're out of bubbles. I know you've been on this site long enough to figure out there's an edit button so you can reply.

You still didn't answer my question so no I didn't get the reply I wanted. We are most definitely not at a draw. We are more of a truce says you which I don't agree with. I answered your questions you answer mine. Not you blame me for not answering your questions when I did.

"And you make up the majority of retards here. Tell me, how does it make you feel claiming that the PS3 is inferior to the 360? Does it make your manhood grow bigger or something? I personally feel both consoles are almost equal, except for the fact that the PS3 has special features that makes it stand out.

That's *my* opinion."

That's your opinion, that's cool. Now you misinterpreted what I just said there, I meant the 360 fanboys... How am I retarded, usually you don't reply 5 times to a retard... nevermind that. I never claimed the PS3 is inferior to the 360, where'd you get that idea from? I also think the consoles are the same, but you sure don't.

Now that everything is covered, you may now answer my question (which BTW could have ended this about 5 comments back.)

What did you agree to on the article? The RROD replacement part or the inflated numbers part or the 360 no longer being the cashcow for EA?

I doubt you're coming back Juuken/ultimolu, you know that you couldn't avoid my question and give me that you can't comment cause you have no bubbles anymore? Use edit or use your followers to give you bubbles, reply and prove me wrong. Hypocrite.

@Kain81

I did respect her opinion, though she's not answering my question. Where do I not respect her opinion. I can show you where I do respect her opinion.

"That's your opinion, that's cool."

I think that's accepting her opinion which means I respect it, did you not read Kain?

Hah, you say I should protect my precious console? Look below you hypocrite, you just made you comment invalid because it's right under everyone's noses.

"But you forget that PS3
has a Blu-ray(THE BEST BLU_RAY DRIVE OUT OF THE MARKET) and wlan 60Gig more than the unit that you call and PSN is FREE and in the near Future and i mean 2009 Xbox360 will be Extremly Limited by the DVD-Drive, i remind you MEGA-TEXTURING.
In 2009 you will be chaning DVD´s for the hole TIME even Racers will come with 2-3 DVDs if MEGA TEXTURING WILL BECOME STANDART

SORRY BUT YOU CALLING EVERYONE A FANBOY BUT YOU ARE THE KING OF THEM."

BTW Kain81, reply to my comment if you want, you know you're wrong, just admit it. I don't like jumping on you but you can't go around spewing BS like that.

Hey I also hate people who wrongfully take away MY bubbles, I'm forced to defend myself with only 4 bubbles? Are you serious? That's like asking for an arm wrestle, and you start off you a good start and almost my hand down and then I start gaining energy and almost put your hand down and then you decide to put your hand away and say fair game.

DID I SAY THAT RAGE WOULD BE ON ONE DISK? No. I said that megatexturing didn't affect size on the disk as much as you say it does. I acknowledged the fact that size was an issue though but apparently you couldn't understand that either, please stop trying. How am I the one spinning this, I'm staying on topic, I'm answering you and you say I'm spinning? Alright then. Why would you use the first article to prove your point when there's a newer updated version of the news. It's like saying PS3 has no games when it really does.

[Kain81]

Hey my friend defend your preciouse console
Ultimolu iam agreed with you in all aspects.
FCC you must learn to respect someones Opinion.

Oh and i hate users with Multiple accounts, you ask why cause this users
aprove Fake news with multiple accounts and gives/takes Bubbles.
Or report good news for a console as a lame/fake and so on.
And i dont know where are the MODS are they Trolls too, i dont know.

And this is called Journalism.

You are the one that spins around and spreads lies.
Its fact that Rage will fit on 2 DVDs and if you read the first article (the link i give) than you will see that the game needs 3DVDs.
And iam sure that M$ asked the devs to draw back that comment.

Edit: My comments are invalid, that what you are read are all FACTS, sorry but i dont need to defend a console, PS3 speaks for itself.
i have give only Facts, nothing more

[Meus Renaissance]

And I am vindicated once again.

[TheXgamerLive]

The Xbox 360 is and has always been king.

Those fake assed numbers a few weeks ago were from another fake sony wannabe. This was just a common sence answer to something we all already knew anyway's. Stop the lies sony girls and just let it be.

[IzKyD1331]

anyone else surprised at how LITTLE the Wii makes for EA? oh wait, no one is surprised....

[cyclindk]

Is this for North America only or global?

[Terror2k9]

I knew that article was a complete lie! That was a fanboy article that said 3rd parties were making more money on the ps 3,just look in your local gamestop or eb and look at the sections for both consoles its sad to see the ps3 with just a little spot on the wall while the 360 has a whole floor for itself. its common sense whos selling more games. i feel for those who only own 1 system :{ .

[vasilisk]

Before dismissing one article it's better to have all the facts, and to do so, you have to READ the whole thing. When the article was written EA's Q2 wasn't released so it was written with the facts at hand at that time. If you actually took the time to read the report you would see that for Q1 the actual numbers are 81 million for the 360 and 139 million for the PS3. If you look further down, for last year's Q4 you would see 128mil for the 360 and 152 mil for the PS3. So when the article that you are reffering to was written, according to the numbers he had at hand when he wrote it, he was actually right. As far as your local Gamestop, you know there are also people outside the US, don't you?

[FCC]

And it spins and spins and spins and spins and spins...

[Captain_Sony]

It is funny to hear someone talk about getting their facts right while they defend an OPINION piece that took facts and spun them to make a point that was false. Now that REAL proof comes out the kid wants everyone to look at the facts. Here are some FACTS for you. The article you are defending was presented as GLOBAL sales while ONLY including sales from areas that PS3 has the lead in. Mainly Japan. Go back and read it again. I think the worst kind of fanboy is the one that refuses to admit the truth even when proven wrong. Which is exactly what you are doing.

[bee2427]

yeah x360 dominated this quarter but the other article was over Ubisoft and everyone said it was fake when it was posted... now i guess these figures are real??? A lot of hypocrites in here... but i think they are both real ... I guess more people buy multiplatform games on the 360 but if you dont own fifa 09 or nhl 09 Id say pick it up on either system

[Man_of_the_year]

Got them both and totally agree with ya...must have games - however NHL 09 does need a patch for a particular goal that everone online is doing that seems to make its way into the net more often than not...

[bee2427]

really what move is that... i dont play online as much because the pace of play is too slow and i get too into the games and afterwords i usually end up trying to calm myself down before I break my 60 inch

[Man_of_the_year]

its a wrist shot - eg. if your player is a left handed stick user then while skating up the left wing and into the offensive zone start cutting into to middle while holding the right analog stick to the left...when you get close to the lane (between the blueline and the top of the circle range) let loose a hard wrist shot by sliding the analog stick down and then snap the analog stick back up (down, down left, left, up left, up) to the top left corner. If done right it will always go in because the goalie is moving too fast to the right antisipating the shot and following the player so then the goalie can't reach the shot going past them...EA are working on a patch as i have read on their forums to fix this...

[Man_of_the_year]

LOL looks like i have a fan...i wonder what mindless, blind, ignorant sony fanboy has his panties all up in a bunch that he tracks me in every thread and gives me a disagree...LOL i bet he didn't even read what i even typed and still gives me a disagree.

[TheColbertinator]

I'm still wondering on how EA sold more PS3 games last year.This year the PS3 is securing some sales but its selling less for EA?

[FCC]

Piracy? Used game sales? Who knows.

[TrooGamer]

Piracy? On PS3?

lmao

[Kain81]

that will buy a 25$ Recordeble-Blu-ray and 1000h of time to Download the game.
For that you can Buy the ORGINAL^^

[Guitarded]

Watching the Sony suckwads back-peddle...PRICELESS!

[FCC]

*slow clap* It's shocking now that I think about it, You can get a 360 for $199 + 29.99 for the harddrive + $49.99 for Live + $59.99 for Left 4 Dead and it's still not at the price of a PS3...

With that bundle you get

A Xbox 360 with an extremely low chance of breaking due to the newer Jasper motherboards
A wireless controller
5 arcade games
A wired headset
A 20GB Harddrive
13 months of Live
and Left 4 Dead for the price of $338.97 without including individual tax... Might as well throw in Banjo Kazooie for $39.99 for the grand total of...

378.96... still not the price of the 80GB PS3 so let's throw a 1600 Microsoft point card for 19.99

398.95 without tax which is still a dollar cheaper than the 80GB PS3 which is 399.99 BEFORE TAX and only comes with the DS3...

That's very shocking...

[air1]

and that will be alot of back- peddle.

how could you even make a mistake that the ps3 sells more with numbers like that. the 360 sells over 100% over the ps3.

I guess you should inform yourself a little more, the forum replies seem a little interesting as well.

Oh BTW, it's not a hardware issue but more of a storage capacity issue, nice informing. The game is PC lead being ported over to consoles. The 360 and PS3 can run megatexturing just fine. I doubt you even know what megatexturing is or you just found out what it is and decided that the 360 couldn't run it, either way you're really really ignorant.

Since you fanboys always like saying "I'll play the superior version, which on the PC" when you're talking about 360 games. I'll say the same. I'll play the superior version which is the PC version.

@Kain81

You said megatexturing will hold the 360 back, well, it's the disc size not the megatexturing. Megatexturing is a graphics thing, the game's size is a space thing. See how you mistakenly implied that the 360 was inferior? You said megatexturing would fill up discs which it won't. It'll help on the RAM though, it won't have to process every single one of those textures and just process one big one.

Honestly, if your first post isn't fanboy then I don't know what is. All I did was comment the contrast between prices so if anything, I'm criticizing the price of the PS3, even $50 price drop would increase sales.

Did I once say the PS3 was inferior in there? No. I just think the price is a little overpriced, you get a great machine but with the economy collapsing and holidays coming soon, a price drop could help, even a little one.
