When the console numbers are in Microsoft's favor, they shout the results to the rafters.

When they're not, it's all about the accessories.

This so-called "Console War" is getting pretty pathetic.

I prefer my XBOX360 over my PS3, but I have to applaud Sony for the month of September.

Why can't Microsoft do the same? View

That comment is unneccesary, and freezing issues and glitches are customary with a new release. But I went on YouTube to see if there are any freezing issues on the YouTube website.

I found a few, but the attached glitch video IS pretty gay.

AND FUNNY! :-) View

I just don't understand why after selling almost 500,000 consoles of the PS3 last month, the only two games that are in the Top 10 for PS3 are multiplats. And only winning by 140,000.

Where's the exclusives? I thought that people were waiting for the right price to buy the PS3?

Killzone 2?
Demon Souls?
MLB?
Uncharted 2?
Infamous?

Personally, I think that this is disappointing for Sony.
And somewhere, Microsoft is smiling.
They just needed to keep it close for the initial impact. Genius.
Sony, you dropped the price of your console to move SOFTWARE.
You lose money on each console, therefore, you need more consoles out there to drive SOFTWARE.
But very few people bought software with their new consoles.

And no one is talking about it.

It's the GIANT ELEPHANT in the room... View

There's only one problem...

I have seen an Uncharted 2 commercial on every commercial break here in America over the last few weeks. Remember?

"I'm going to have to file that under NOT AN ISSUE."

Print ads, commercials, and website links abound.

In addition, the PS3 Slim sold a MILLION consoles in September.

Hello? View

Just answer the question.

Why has only FOUR PERCENT bought the game?

Name calling is unnecessary. View

Why has only FOUR PERCENT bought the game? View

So almost TEN MILLION PEOPLE in America own the PS3, and only 440,000 people bought the game? Four percent?

What the hell is wrong with these people?

The highest reviewed game on the PS3?

The second highest reviewed game of this generation? View

Instead of answering the question, you divert attention to something else.

I bought Uncharted 1, Killzone 2, and Infamous.

I support Sony and I support Microsoft.

Why don't you go and buy the game?
Tell your friends to.
Tell your online compadres to.

Naughty Dog should have a blockbuster on their hands.

But something tells me that they won't. Why?

Because a lot of so-called Sony supporters are all talk and no action.

For once, you should try to discuss instead of hiding... View

Godspeed my friend.
Couldn't be said any better than that.

FINALLY.

A voice from the heavens. View

He may be Pro-360, but he speaks the truth.

I have a question too...

I keep hearing, "PS3 Gamers don't play sales, we play GAMES."

I think it's HILARIOUS.

This is the second best reviewed game this generation allegedly.

Shouldn't the fanbase support this massive game and purchase it in MASS numbers? But they won't.

And then the excuse as always is, "Because we have variety."

Weak.

Support this incredible developer with this incredible game. They deserve it.

And prove to THEM and XBOX360 fans that a blockbuster is possible on PS3.

You can end the criticism "that people buy the PS3 for BluRay."

Naughty Dog deserves it. DON'T THEY? View

When the NPD numbers are released tomorrow, the PS3 will be the highest selling console in America with a predicted 500,000 +/- consoles sold for the month of September. PS3's biggest month in America since launch.

However, only ONE PS3 title will be in the Top 10.

And it's a multiplat.

Batman - Arkham Asylum.

Shouldn't Sony be concerned about that?

That many consoles sold should propel the exclusives to the Top 10, shouldn't it? At least the shooters? View

Something tells me that Forza 3 might score higher than Gran Turismo 5 on Metacritic.
Gran Turismo 5 will UNDOUBTEDLY outsell Forza 3 worldwide.

So basically, no one on here can praise Gran Turismo 5's sales when it releases.

If Forza 3 reviews better, it's a better game.

Correct? View

You see, it's that lack of rationale that stops us all from "moving the ball forward" on this website.

Let me get this straight...

If Forza 3 outsells GT5, it's because XBox owners are lemmings.
If GT5 outsells Forza 3, it's because it's a better game.

If Forza 3 reviews better than GT5, Microsoft paid ALL of the reviewers.
If GT5 reviews better, it's a better game.

You're kidding right?

PLEASE tell me that Sony Fanboys have more rationale and can see the forest through the trees.

Show me some impartiality. Please... View

But I would rather wait for reviews from the more reputable sites than read reviews from Playstation-exclusive sites, AceGamez (LOL), Meristation, and SpazioGames.

Although, Eurogamer gave it a 90.

That's a good sign.

I WOULD like to see the reviews from IGN, Gamespot, and Gametrailers though. They usually match my opinion pretty closely. View

That is a fantastic trailer.
Looks good.
I've been waiting for a game to satisfy my "Oblivion" void.

I still need to wait for the reviews though.

Fingers crossed. View

Look. I own both consoles. But focus for a second here...

Charging for playing online.
Downloadable content exclusively for only one platform.
Re-releasing and bundling old classics.
RROD.
Remanufacturing a console to a $299 price point after millions spent $600 on the original within three years.

And the members of this website STILL won't call them on the carpet.

Wow. We really are lemmings, aren't we?

If there is ever an issue for there to be bipartisan support, this is it.

When do we all stop making excuses for our platforms and criticize them accordingly?

Where's THIS petition?

Stop pretending your side can do no wrong and step up! (shakes head) View

I love N4G. It's like a site full of sports lovers. When your "team" goes on a winning streak, you shout it to the rafters. Sony just went on a winning streak. The PS3 Slim will allow them to come closer to closing the gap with Microsoft over the next year. Congrats to them.

But if you think Microsoft wasn't aware of this, you're insane.

Look at the pattern:
Hold current pricing as long as possible.
Wait for Sony's next move.
Delete the Pro Sku.
Drop the Elite pricing.
Release a strong holiday lineup along with a Halo Expansion to appease the core fanbase.
Get through Christmas with strong sales.
Sony will outsell them this Christmas, but Microsoft will do well.
Release heavy hitters in the first three quarters of 2010 to satisfy the fanbase.

Then...
In Q4 of 2010...

A NEW XBOX360 Sku with Natal embedded.
Huge marketing blitz.
Halo Reach.
Fable III.
Gears of War 3 (if the 2-year development stays true to form).
And a price drop through all three Skus.

Microsoft has a 8+ million console lead.
They'll give up 2-3 million of that lead to prepare for the onslaught.

They feel that they'll recover that IN SPADES a year from now.

So the Sony fans should rejoice. For now.
The PS3 is new, fresh, and affordable.

But I'm just afraid that it'll look pretty dull a year from now.

Aesthetically and commercially.

Remember, Microsoft are MASTERS at marketing.

Next year will be a BEAST for Microsoft.

Natal PLUS Halo Reach? WOW. View

Sony is obviously working on the Slim, but NO WAY will Sony announce the Slim at this event.
I can't believe no one is looking at the facts.
There are THOUSANDS of PS3's in the retail pipeline.
An announcement of the PS3 Slim would effectively halt the sale of them all.
Then, Sony would have to work like crazy to get Slim product, pricing, advertising, etc. in stores by late November (Remember, the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year).

It won't happen.

They have to get rid of product first.

Sony will announce a PRICE DROP at this event.

Not the PS3 Slim.

The Slim will be announced at next year's E3.

Quote me.

But I want "props" when it doesn't happen. :-) View
