yes... % can really make things sound huge... here is an example...
the xbox 360 had a 14,000,000% or more increase since 2005 (because they sold 0 console prior to it's launch)... hehe.
% are releative to the initial number yet they don't give you the initial number.. now that's not to say it's bad.. who knows maybe the pS3 was already selling well becore the % increase.

Sony didn't kill the dreamcast.. I think the dreamcast just to be for Sega to handle it.. they just couldnt take it.

And by the time the original xbox was released the PS3 ruled the earth. it has all the support fromt the development community that the original xbox which they had. Also let's not forget the fact that PS2 was the child of PS1... only on name recognition the PS2 could destroy the xbox which came out 2 years after the alreadly stablished PS2.

Do you guys understand what the "antitrust ruling" was about right?

Rival software developers (including open-source) can now access and use Microsoft interoperability information

Royalties for this information will be reduced to a one-off payment of €10,000 / $14,000

Royalties for a world-wide license to use Microsoft's product and patents will be reduced from 5.95% to just 0.4%

This is how it works..

Let...

Microsoft support is mostly strategic... they have no interest in the HD format war... but mostly long term.

If microsoft adds a blu-ray drive on the xbox 360 then it would be helping Sony win the format war. There is a saying, "The Enemy of my enemy is my friend"... well.. HD DVD is Sony's enemy... so, what do you think Microsoft logical move should be?

Let me put it on perspective... Sony sells laptops that come pre-installed with Windows OS... why no...

My favorite console off all time was nes... then Snes... but the PS2 will always be one of my favorite consoles.. so much love that it made me stay completely away form the original xbox... It it possible we may never see another console with such success... Not because the Playstation 3, the xbox 360 or the wii are not as good or better hardware wise.... but simply because hardware consoles are becoming so good that they all offer something we all want.
The PS2 was relatively alone in...

wow.. I like... how much I wish street fighter games would be like this. (At least story mode)... where one can just play the game like an aventure game... with missions... and then fight 2 rounds with the main enemies/characters... I think this game got it right... I'm not sure why this game is not being released in Japan on day one... this seem to be the kind of game that the xbox 360 needs over there.

Thanks for trying to help me out.. but I don't need help...
I'm not the one that's having problems with Xbox 360 lags... Currently I'm not playing any PC games... last game I played on my PC was Battle Field 214?.. forgot... I play games using a T1 in my office... and I have Verizon Fios... at home.. ohh yeah... and my VOIP phone I have it on a separte DSL..

But saying that you don't lag regarless of what server you play on... ever.. ever ever... you know is just wrong.....

6064d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

can you explain how is it that I don't have any lag problems?
I mean seriously... isn't obvious that xbox live just like any other P2P game.. depends on the connection of the host?
So, if I have a PS3.. and I'm lagging.. for some stupid reason like... NAT is close.. or my router is dropping pockets.. I have to assume is that PSN sucks?
If you have lost of lags on all the games you play on xbox live... something must be wrong with your connection, interent or router... <...

I guess many of you forgot this, "Future Direction"... can you guys go now and play any of the "NCSoft's recently announced plans"?
I really hope this happens... You can't blame for xbox live subcribers for being willing to pay for something they can't get anywhere else...
You see what PSN currently is? "announced plans"... Sony promises PSN will eventually have all xbox live features.. and that everything will be free.. well.. I'm personally waitin...

I think many people are not understanding the possition of xbox gold subscribers...

Would we like xbox live to be free? Yeah.. no doubt about it.. but if the condition would to change then I rather pay those $4 a month.. and continue to receive the benefits...

Do you actually think if Sony would have made PSN better do you think Xbox live would not be free? PSN is a living proof of what xbox live would be if free... everytime a new Demo comes out on xbox live and...

Lots of fanboys do not understand what xbox live really is... Xbox live is more than playing online. The only different between the gold and the silver account is multiplayer...

Achivements, Demos, game videos, gamescore, private chat, messaging, MSN messenger, video chat... all that is free for anyone to use...
Many of these features are not even available on the PS3... for example, achivements, gamerscore... non-existant on PSN...

How about the Demos? A ...

With so many great FPS out there and with super killer games like COD4... there will be little time to play "just another FTP"... so, this game better be a AAA... nothing less.. we've reach the point where gamers can pick the game they want to play..
Let's see.. when the game is finally released.. I know Sony fans are trying very hard to believe that this game will give the PS3 the edge over the xbox 360 version and contribute to the death of the xbox 360... but it will take...

I also don't care about the bubble system... but I do care when people try to abuse a system to try to mess with me... that's when my darks side kicks in. Just proving a point... I didn't mind having one buble... but Sony fanboys started to use this one bubble to make fun... or to try to make a big deal out of it.. just because I had 1 bubble... so, the point? yes.. abuse the system.. take away my bubble... waste your time doing so...
Ok.. now that you Sony fanboys know that you can't ...

The same was said about 2007.... now is 2008... It's interesting that the PS3 success predictions are 100% based on the success of the PS2... the fact that Microsoft and Nintendo are doing a lot better than when PS2 ruled the earth is not being even concidered in the equation... this is the reason why people were so wrong... when they said that the PS3 would beat the xbox 360 in terms of sells once it launches... Sometimes the market make dramatic twists... just like the way Apple took the mu...

Actually.. this is my 5th account... lol...
using all different domains for the email... rendering a waste of time for Sony fanboys to try to remove my bubbles..
Webside admins should figure another method insteads of the bubble system.. that fanboys can't abuse... I'm sure that 70% of the accounts on this site are not used.. and that everyone have multiple accounts... waste of database space...

Yes... let's concentrate only on visuals... yeah.. only on the cars... ingnore the trees... the environment... the lines drawn on the pavement that stays throughout the entire game session in Forza 2... forget the gameplay.. or the features... concentrate only on the things that make you feel better about your purchase...
These articles are pointless and only made to make a handful of people feel better about the console they own...
Sadly for you... nothing will stop Forza 2 fro...
