"it is true and unfair that you don't count the 140million ps2 base"
Sorry, but i hate that arguement. Obviously, you're forgetting that not everyone has a brand loyalty, and that there were hundreds of reasons why the PS2 sold in those numbers and the PS3, so far, hasn't. Everything from the types of games (generally the biggest games were always PS2 exclusive, especially early on), the fact that alot of casual shovelware was on the PS2 (more so than an...
*scratches head*
Dominating what, exactly? Your ass?
I agree with the others in that TrustedReviews is nothing short of brilliant. Every purchase i have made, from digital cameras and camcorders to TV's and docking stations, have all been bought because of the reviews on that site, and they have always been massively accurate.
The only problem i have with it, along with other views, is the "but it needs stronger games to make that happen" arguement. Things similar to this could be said about absolutely any pro...
I couldn't care if the Iphone/Ipod was 10x more powerful than the DS/PSP, its catalogue is still full of cheap crap games and its touch screen controls do not compare to normal controls found on other handhelds. Nothing worse than half the screen being taken up my fingers and a stupid HUD needed for the touch controls.
I love my 360, and even i think its bloody stupid.
I'd rather they just fixed the dpad so it makes games like Pro Evolution Soccer better to play on the 360.
Plus, i can pick up a wireless controller these days for £15 second hand. Sorry Microsoft, i may have a fair bit of money and like your products, but i ain't completely retarded
@ Dragon....good analogy. We used a similar one in discussions about theft during police training.
"Where is everyone's bleeding hearts for all the encyclopedia companies that got put out of business by the internet or what about the countless magazines? or like red sky said hows that pirated music/movies?"
Sorry, but LOL!
Thats simply evolution in how we access information. If it was downloading the exact same magazine/books that we have to pay for in the shops then that would be theft. I hardly doubt that Waterstones would be accusing...
To be honest, i think you've got to be a little bit thick in the head, wanting to pirate games at the cost of not going online at all with a console, especially this generation, where the majority of focus is online gaming and social stuff.
I've seen people with banned 360's who regret ever having their console modified. I'd hate to have a PS3 or 360 and not be able to go online, download films/chat with mates/watch tv/download DLC/play games etc etc etc.
.....although in general i don't see the point in anyone gloating about sales.
Does it make my purchase a more enjoyable one? No
Does it mean the console i bought is teh greatest ever? No
Does it mean all of a sudden each game thats out on it is the greatest? No
Will it all of sudden make my games better? No
Will i become a great gamer because one sells better than the other? No
I really don't get it. I don'...
I've always felt Sony messed up a little with the PSEye. Bar from Eye of Judgement and the odd few (and rather crap) downloadable titles, there was zero reason to use the Eyetoy until recently, with Eyepet coming out and now the release of Move.
I wouldn't mind, but some of the tech demo stuff was rather impressive, and surely Sony could have done abit more with it than they have done til now?
I personally don't think it can do things at the ...
God i hate all this bullcrap from half of you guys on here. I personally think my dog has more intelligence and maturity than most of you.
Good 360 sales as expected. Its Microsofts strongest territory, and it should come as little surprise that the new model would prove popular with new and current 360 owners. Its affect has so far been virtually identical to the PS3 slim, although whether it will have the same long term effect remains to be seen, especially with Move...
Messi is tied down to PES i think, along with Torres
Media Molecule, because a) LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2 are awesome and b) the studio isn't too far away from where i am right now
And i agree, its about time people acknowledged the developers on this site. You wouldn't believe the amount of hours that some people put into making these games for us, some virtually live at the studios, particularly during the final stages of game development. Majority of peeps on here don't give a damn though, too bu...
And LOL at the disagree. So me stating fact about the 360S coming with a standard definition cable is a lie?

I wouldn't mind, but Kaka has had a pretty crap 12months by his standards.
And why put that Man Utd prick on the front. He looks like Shrek and shags Grandmas? And he's hardly the most handsome of chaps now is he.
Considering Spain won the world cup, you'd have thought EA's marketing team would have jumped on that and had a few Spanish players on the front.
"In a film you're not actually playing the part of the person doing the killing"
True, but films have been proven to be just as immersive as games, if not more. People tend to develop an understanding and relationship more with a film character than a game character, and to me, thats even more dangerous. Just because your not physically involved in the film, does not mean that you're not mentally.
I wouldn't rely on google, as there's tons of crap on there too. And my Xbox 360S didn't come with any form of HD cable, it comes with the normal standard definition cables, which, if you had looked harder on google, you would have known (or looked on the side of the box, like i did :) )
Luckily i had a spare HDMI cable anyway, so i wasn't fussed
For me, as much as i loved the 5th Generation of consoles and gaming, i think the 6th stands out for me, mainly due to the Playstation 2.
I mean, it literally took up all my teenage years, and so many great nights with family and friends were centred around playing the likes of Pro Evo Soccer on the PS2. And there would be times were great games were coming out every week. Games like Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3, GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas, Halo and Halo 2, Resident E...
Why is it when somebody states that Kinect isn't very good, do they all of a sudden have to be 'Playstation fanboys'? Can't a person think a piece of equipment is rather crap without being a 'fanboy' of something.
I don't have any gripes against any console or company, i'm in it purely for the games, but this piece of equipment really is poor. I've yet to see a demo or game or anything yet which impresses me, and i'm still trying to...
I wouldn't say all the bigger games sell better on 360. I think itgenerally depends on its userbase what particular games sell better on which particular platforim. For instance, FPS games like Call of Duty and Battlefield generally perform better on the 360, whereas games like Fifa and PES perform better on PS3 from a sales perspective.
And even then, unless its a huge title that pushes 5m+ in sales, theres never really much between them, usually the odd 100,000 or s...
