Holy Crap!
So highlights:

Assassin's Creed sells nearly 600K copies on Xbox 360.
Uncharted sold under 45K on PS3.
250K Wii consoles were sold.

Wow...after all that no one bought Uncharted... View

Ok.
GameSpot has given COD4 a 9.0, BioShock a 9.0, Ratchet and Clank a 7.5, Uncharted an 8.0, Zelda: Twilight Princess 8.9 and now Mas Effect an 8.5. By GameSpot's standards, it is a pretty good score and Mass Effect is a pretty excellent game. View

Here is the deal.
As great as it might seem to PS3 fans that the PS3 is on par with the 360's year one sales, the truth of the matter is that the PS3 is playing catch up. To just be on par with what the 360 was a year ago means that the 360 still has a whole year of sales that the PS3 didn't manage to catch up to in year one. View

:)
Can't wait for this game. Tomorrow I know Teamxbox and probably all the other sites are posting their reviews up, so I'm excited to see what they all think of it.

What is even cooler is that this is already a planned trilogy, so we don't have to question whether or not we'll get another ME in the future :) View

agreed
that is what I was just coming to say.

Shooter fans probably aren't going to love Mass Effect as much as RPG fans...obviously...because ME is an RPG.

It is like saying RPG fans will be climbing up the walls while playing Halo 3, lol. View

Until it is confirmed
don't assume it is true.

Weren't we hearing these rumors for the last few months and they were all shot down? What makes this different? View

Great score, but...
Pretty good from GameSpot considering they also gave BioShock a 9.0 out of 10. But GameSpot gave Halo 3 a 9.5/10 so I expected COD4 to be slightly higher than a 9.0. View

Here's the deal
Studios are going to eventually back the format that has the larger install base. By having an HD-DVD player for under $100, a lot of consumers are now going to go out and buy it over a Blu-Ray player. Thus, more people will own HD-DVD players and will buy more HD-DVDs and studios will want in on this and support HD-DVD over Blu-Ray.

On top of this, at most stores the HD-DVD movies are cheaper than Blu-Ray movies, which'll encourage more people to get HD-DVD. View

It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter that they are losing money. People who buy the players are going to be buying HD-DVDs.

If no one has the players, no HD-DVDs are sold and Blu-Ray wins.

This is what it'll take for Hd-DVD to win, so they need to do it. View

It is for 'other'
these results are for the # of consoles sold in places other than America and Japan. Which, in this case, the 360 has already been lagging in sales. View

Finally
This is the point I keep trying to make. The only exclusive AAA game for the Wii so far is Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. The Wii only has 7 games above 80% on Gamerankings...it is pathetic.

The console is cheap and fun to use, though, so people will buy it and continue to buy it even if it doesn't have the best games. View

they need to be like 1up
More reviewers need to be like 1up. If a game sucks, 1up will give it a 1/10, whereas most others sites will give bad games a 5/10. With anything below an 8/10 being considered unfavorable, there is such little space for scores to go on most sites. View
798 days ago
wooo
Um...its average score on Gamerankings.com is a 81%. Just because 1up gives it a 6.5 doesn't mean it is a flop, lol. Here are reviews from other big reviewers:

Teamxbox 8.8/10
GameInformer: 8.75/10
GameSpot: 8.5/10
IGN: 8.4/10
GamesRadar: 9/10
GameSpy: 4/5
GamePro: 4/5

1up gives different a kind of score than other sites. It actually uses the full 1-10 scale with bad games getting down there in 1-4, good ones 7-10, and everything else in the middle. Most sites pretty much stay 5-10 with a 5 being bad and a 7 being just decent. View

dosn't matter
Don't forget though that the PS3 is playing catch-up to the Xbox 360.

It doesn't matter if they are aligned when 360 has a whole year of sales on the PS3. View

on my site
on my site we have:

Orange Box: 98
BioShock: 98
Halo 3: 97

With the higher 98 going to Orange Box, making it the highest rated 360 title.

actually
this is pretty typical. They'll send out a review copy of the game early for sites and magazines to review and build buzz. View
812 days 20 hours ago
well
Proof: http://www.gamerankings.com...

That is a rounded score.

The real score is the 9.75. Which is also what they gave Halo 3. View

# coming out this holiday doesn't matter
Xbox 360 only has a few more big exclusives coming out this Holiday - PGR4, Ace Combat 6, and Mass Effect.

BUT. Unlike the PS3, Xbox 360 already has a bunch of AAA titles to attract people to buying the console. Halo 3, BioShock, and Gears of War are definitely going to be purchases for a lot of new 360 buyers.

Plus the 360 is getting a slew of great multiplatform titles like Assassin's Creed, COD4, Rock Band, and Guitar Hero III.

The 360 is in great shape as far as game selection goes. View
