I always get a chuckle out of Sony fanboys insistence that 2008 will save the PS3 because of its purportedly superior line up of games. If I were Microsoft, I wouldn't change places with Sony's line up of game for a minute. There really is no mystery or uncertainty here. Microsoft's games line up for 2008 is far more vast that the Playstation 3s. The PS3 has a few big name games that are currently exclusives--third party games MGS3 and FFXIII and first party Killzone 2. And in fact, Squa...
I for one truly do not believe that the Playstation 3 will outsell the Xbox 360 in 2008. There are two games coming out exclusively for the PS3 that people are aware of--MGS4 and Final Fantasy XIII. These will probably move some consoles, but I think their impact on PS3 sales is overexagerated. Xbox 360 has some very impressive exclusives of its own coming down the pike, including two big RPGs--Fable 2 and Too Human. In the end, I think the PS3 will survive, albeit in a distant third plac...
But here we go again, for those that simply don't understand the differences between the PS3 and the Xbox 360. The simple fact is that the PS3 has a huge memory bandwidth hardware bottleneck. Also, when it comes to RAM, the Xbox 360 certainly DOES have fundamental advantages over the Playstation 3. For example, the CPU of the PS3 can NEVER access more than 256MB of RAM at any point. The Xbox 360 CPU is free to access up to 512MB of RAM if there was a need. With the PS3, there are plenty of...
Now who is living under a rock? I gave you a link before and I will give you a link again. Click Here --> http://www.vgchartz.com The PS3 is THIRD world wide--not as of the end of summer, but as of December 1, 2007. PS3 on par with Wii? Don't make me laugh. Again, for the week ending December 1, 2007, there were 644k Wii's sold worldwide and 350k PS3s (about half the Wii sales). The Xbox 360 sales, while less than the Wii, w...
I think this has been covered ad nauseum, but Sony fanboys simply don't understand (and of course, they never will). The PS3 can run pure computations pretty fast. No one doubts that. But running games is different than running pure calculations. There have been innumerable articles that have discussed the fact that, in terms of its ability to play games, the Xbox 360 is simply superior to the PS3 (better graphics rendering, more memory, less bottlenecks, etc).
In fact, I would suggest I'm more in tune with the state of the console race than you. PS3 is THIRD in worldwide next gen console sales (see http://www.vgchartz.com ), and based on software sales (Xbox 360 sales are greater than PS3 and Wii combined), many of those who do purchase a PS3 are buying it just as a movie player and don't actually play video games. This is simple fact. Sorry you find it inconvenient.
Because people sure arn't buying them, and especially not for games.
Been there, done that. This game is old hat. I don't expect the game to sell well at all. Probably won't even surpass the sales figures for the latest Ratchet & Clank, and that's pretty darn low.
Here's the original link, for those that want the source for the story:

If you doubt it, go to http://www.vgchartz.com. I couldn't link directly to vgchartz.com, but the link is in the story.
Your inability to spell insults correctly aside, it was NOT posted last week. Your failure to provide any link is clear evidence of that! This is the most recent information available.
I don't use your name in vain. I do point out that you are being extremely hypocritical. First, the link you provided links to a page without data. Second, you just submitted the European results without any context what so ever. I didn't see you reference any other locations. Third, I had to link it this way because the alternative results in a rejection because its the same link used in past stories (although for past weeks).
It's so absurd that Meus Renaissance submits the European Results, and the PS3 fanboys approve and argue that it shows that the PS3 is overtaking the Xbox 360, but when those results are brought into context with the American results, now they claim "old", "fake", etc. The Round Peg actually stated: "Remember to report the European VG charts too if you're going to report." What a shocking comment, since that's already been reported by Meus Renaissance. I'm sim...
This is another example of how foolish it is to buy a PS3 instead of an Xbox 360. The PS3 has framerate problems not present on the Xbox 360 version. Where have we heard that before? If you play it on the Xbox 360, not only do you get a better game, but you get achievements to boot. This is why the PS3 is failing.
To post that, according to one dubious authority, the PS3 is outselling the Xbox 360 by a margin of 30,000, while not being able to post that the same authority claims that the Xbox 360 is outselling the PS3 in North America by a margin of 70,000 leaves a misimpression that the PS3 is beating the Xbox 360, when that is clearly not the case. Information is only valuable in context.
In America, Xbox 360 outsells PS3 by 70,000 consoles. See http://vgchartz.com/aweekly...
I can't submit that as news, however, because the link is the same as last week's link, although the subject matter is different (it's a new week). There must be a way to get around that, though, because this article has been posted.
The top 10 list for the Playstation editor in chief has two Xbox 360 games and no playstation 1, 2, or 3 games. Priceless. Just goes to show the superiority of the console.
That's the beautiful thing about the Xbox 360. With games like Mass Effect, which have "romance" subplots, I can have a virtual, in-game, girlfriend, and I don't have to spend the $50 on dinner and a movie. Sex is fleeting. Gaming is forever.
This is all old news, but the graphs are very pretty.
I think what a lot of people fail to realize is that the Xbox 360's success may very well save the PS3 from going the way of the dreamcast. If third party game makers only had the PS3's market to sell to, it would be very difficult for them to make a profit. The cost necessary to create a decent game requires a lot of sales, and the PS3 install base and attach rate would not support that. The Xbox 360, however, has a mu...
You are correct that Last Remanent is not exclusive. I meant to say Infinite Undiscovery, which IS exclusive. You are also correct that Cry On and Dead or Alive Code: Cronus are not technically confirmed 2008, although there is every indication that they will be released in 2008, unlike FFXIII, which Square Enix has indicated on several occassions is likely a 2009 release.
As for BubblesDaverage, I have to chuckle at Sony fanboys that claim that VGchartz is not accurate, and ...
