Which Fanboys are Right?

Hellangelzx - 399 days 2 hours ago

You do realize that you're watching some of the most Americanized shows right?

Microsoft is a company based in America, so they would do a hell of a love more advertising here.

There is some occasional sony advertising, but this is Microsofts territory right now.

there are 7 continents, some of which are grouped into major markets.

MS right now, is throwing "american market" sales numbers around.LOL. Have you asked yourself how microsoft is doing in other markets? are they even considered in the race in lands other than american soil?

Can microsoft really think they will win a console war with just north american sales? Do we really know how many of these "sales numbers" are actually rrod replacements?

maybe next time , stop and think of what you say before embarrassing yourself.

Having ads in the UFC 91 and NFL sunday cost money to Microsoft Gaming Studios. Sure Gears 2 sells millions of copies but xbox has always had games that sold that well. Halo 1, 2, 3, Gears 1, and Gears 2 sold millions but it hasn't gotten xbox past 25 million units mark. Xbox still hasn't taken off anywhere but America. LighteningPS3, is only looking one side of the equation. There's things going right for xbox but there's also things that are really going wrong like faulty hardware, system not really taking off even after price cut(Wii outsells 360 more than twice the amount despite costing the same price), not a very diverse library to expand the install base, only doing particulary well in one territory(north america) despite pouring a lot of money into marketing it in Japan, and games not breaking the 4th wall.

Yea your pulling that 95% out of your butt. PS2 sold 120 million and only about 45% are sales from America. So Microsoft's roof will be at 60 million. No matter what they do they will never sell more than 60 million unless they get things together in Europe and in Japan.

if you prefer one console over the other. It also doesn't keep you from being a fanboy if you own all three. I owned a 360 and Wii this gen but I love my PS3. It just offers the best gaming experience for me. I like games like Resistance over Gears or Little Big Planet over Banjo Kazooie. That doesn't make me a fanboy. The young gamers who grew up on Nintendo vs. SEGA are now dealing with a new console war. I think the internet is really what causes the biggest problem. Youtube has unleashed the attention deprived who want to make a statement over the internet. This is something that would have never been thought of ten or 15 years ago. Some of these fanboy fools would have been considered outcasts with their behavior.

Please Mike, show me where it says 45% of PS2 sales are from America.

In fact, pull up a chart showing where it sold and how many sold for each country.

And yes.. if it sells in America, you're pretty well off. Why the hell do you think SO MANY companies from all over the world make items that are imported to America? I mean think about how many companies you find that ARE NOT from the U.S. that are selling here.

Actually you are right I was cheesed off I spent all that money on a console when my PC is playing games BETTER. The fact you guys seem to think a 2 - 3 year old console can even match the latest tech that PC gamers have access too today show what fanboys you are.

You quip "ha ha your graphics card probably cost the same as an entire PS3" erm yeah hm lets see PS3 in my country £299 a HD4870 = £199 oh and did I mention the HD4870 has more power than the PS3 and 360 combined. That is why a lot of PC gamers are looking to play games at 2560 x 1600 meanwhile you guys have to make do with 720p (if you are lucky).

I am not even going to start on Kz2 it would be totally pointless because you guys are just blatantly blind it doesn't matter what I say or do you would go "omgz but you r so da wung coz da Kz2 is so da cool". If you really think a game running on a two year old graphics chipset cannot be run on a modern day PC then you really are beyond any sense of reasoning.

there's no point for pc fanboys arguing with consoles fanboys! the fact that PC tech moves a lot faster and a couple of years ahead of any console or every single console combined is undeniable but at what cost? are all PC standards? NO! so, even if every multiplat is best on PC, how many can actually enjoy it at the fullest? at the resolution of 2560 x 1600 like you said? not many! how much does it cost for that kind of monitor anyway? what size? 24"? every gamer with a 360 and PS3 with HDTV will already have almost the full package to enjoy any game at their fullest! add a 5.1 surround to that, and you have already the best setup possible for any game ever released! I have a 37" LCD and 5.1 Yamaha mini home theater and I'm satisfied with my gaming! what about PC? sorry to say but it's far from it! I have a PC that ran Bioshock at the highest setting, gears at high and Crysis at medium last year and I was satisfied! but how about this year? I can't run any new games at high at all, Farcry 2, Fallout 3, Dead space and I can't even run Red Alert 3 at very high or it will be crawling and that's frustrating! I know that I need to upgrade at least my GPU (I currently using 8600GT overclocked GDDR2 512MB) to cope up with new games but is it worth it? totally not when I can get the best out of my PS3 out of the box and as long as it exist! no upgrade needed! game sales also not showing on the top selling charts for PC except WoW, Sims and other MMORPG! where are all those PC spec eating games' sales go? that's right, people buy them on consoles!

"I can't run any new games at high at all, Farcry 2, Fallout 3, Dead space and I can't even run Red Alert 3 at very high or it will be crawling and that's frustrating!"

and I suppose you think the console runs these games at very high do they ? At best most console games are the equivalent of MEDIUM settings on the PC. That's right not very high but MEDIUM and at a low resolution of 720p. Now I don't see you complaining that your console only runs the game at medium but you are here complaining your low end 8600gt can't play games better than the consoles. The 8600gt is actually just a tad bit weaker than the chipsets inside the consoles so I wouldn't expect that to "better" the consoles.

The fact is if you have a decent duo2core and a 8800gt your PC will play the games better than the console. Now that doesn't necessarily mean you will max out the PC settings but you will be able to bump up the graphics to a much better quality than either the 360 or PS3 can do.

So next time you play a PC game and go "it isn't fair I have to settle for High settings instead of very high because my PC can't do it" just think for a second that is a lot better than medium which is the best the consoles can match up too.

PC games are on a decline, the reason being that it is easily pirated and too much copy protection like SecureROM. The legal customers are being punished for the piracy. That's why game dev are steering clear of PC. I personally enjoyed PC games like Starcraft, Warcraft3, Diablo2, etc. I'm anticipating Starcraft2 and Diablo3 right now. But exceptional games for PC are rare and far in between.

badz149 - 398 days 21 hours ago

that is why I said at the fullest! on console, be it 720p or 1080p, that's the maximum it can go and console gamers get it without a slightest need to upgrade or even change the configuration of their console! I also said that multiplats are BEST on PC, right? ...but a a cost! I also got my PS3 last year but do I need to upgrade it in order for me to enjoy all the games I bought this year to the fullest? NO but not the same for PC! on PS3, I know that I'm playing at the best possible setting for all games but on PC, I can't get the best experience available because I still need to upgrade! I have a 37" HDTV, so do I need resolution? I don't think so! even 720p and 1080p is hard to distinguished in any display under 40" let alone 2560 x 1600 resolution on a 24" or 30" monitor!

I admit that PC version will always be the best for all multiplats but the convinience of console gaming where you don't need to worry about your console not capable of running the game at the best resolution is simply priceles. plus, more big players in the industry is seriously focusing on consoles now! I partially agreed that PC can't run KZ2, LBP, R2, MGS4 and even Fable 2, Gears 2 and Halo 3! they are not available for PC only gamers to brag about! so, +1 for consoles!

I own both Ps3 and Xbox360.

I use my ps3 way more than my 360.
Am i a fanboy for it ? No.

I think the Xbox360 is a good console but cost to much. Not only do you pay monthly to use their online service also every single download cost more and the worst part of all this you cant even share your download?!?!? Example:i bought WipeoutHd share it with my 2 brothers in law, who in turn bought B.C rearmed and Megaman9.
So i paid 19.99 for wipeout hd and got all 3 game.. see were i'm getting at?

Nickle and dime Ms is not getting more of my cash.
I do like owning both console to get both of best world ( gear 2 is awesome don't be blinded by fanboy bashing it) and same goes for Killzone2 im in the beta and it is the best game available for either console and its still in BETA??

What i hate is when my friend who has a 360 and give me comment that he has read around the internet and actually believes what he is saying. He still thinks that 360 has better exclusive and he completely believes it.
When i show him stuff on the ps3 he only notice thing like .. load time, framerate if it dropped, he only notices flaws here and there but overlooks all the flaw on the xbox machine.
And when we argue and he knows i'm right about the point i'm making his last line of defense is "i don't understand Sony strategy".
All he could say about Killzone2 ( without even playing it ) was "its pretty".
I mean come on now... This is the best game on any console including pc. And until you played it don't tell me its .. "Too gray" or "it will fail" or when you shoot someone he die and falls after he got shot .. this is fanboy comment and i am feed up with it.

Xbox360 fan are extremely bad and are unable give credit were credit is due and its turning me into a ps3 fanboy because of it.

Ps3 is the better console and i still don't understand why people are still arguing over it.
Video comparison??? , frame rate ?? Dlc exclusive?? what a load of crap.
Those fanboy should stop reading this crap and start playing game together.
Cross platform game on pc-ps3-360 would be Utopia and would be so cool .

, BIG BOSS, orders Sony to price cut the ps3 to $350 or less. Is Sony is doing this well imagine how they will do then. I know Ps3 fanboys will say that Sony doesn't need to price cut, games alone will do it. But they are wrong. How many gamers do you think come to N4G or the like and can see that the PS3 is better? Maybe 10%. You could say that the PS3 can win with out the price cut, and so Sony shouldn't need to give a price cut. But why wouldn't they WANT to? They would/will kick @$$. They may not need to, but that is the only why to be sure that they get the message to people. You can stay in denial and lose or grow up and win. Sony's choice.
