Sony's Demise, NPD Domination, and Jake Fights Back

Indeed.

The PlayStation 3 is one of the hottest electronic items on the planet and that's definitely not uncool.

I am by far no fanboy of either system, but neither system is going anywhere. I have all three and to be honest, the Wii and the 360 for now are gathering more dust. They all have their fun points and will be around for the life of their systems. Sony has great stuff as does the 360. It doesn't matter which system has sold more units...for if you were true gamers you would only care about what your favorite systems is offering you now and in the future and couldn't care less about the "competition." From a monetary standpoint... of course the 360 has sold more units (likewise with the CHEAPER Wii)... they are currently cheaper because they are now easier to manufacture. The same will be for the PS3 in time when components and technology manufacturing costs come down. Sony just needs to focus on the games right now (as well as beefing up their rapidly improving online portion). You guys are forgetting how much of a headstart MS had on Xbox live even before the 360 came out. There were plenty of games that were starting to come out with Live capability....not so with the PS2. Don't get me wrong...I love my xbox live for it does richly enhance gameplay and replayability... but I have high hopes for Sony now that I have been able to try for truly first venture into and Live-like realm. Sony has proven themselves many times over in the past as far as their adaptability and technological improvements which is why they were once kings of the Gaming World. I wouldn't count them down for a long time.... I have become a Sony fan like it or not...even though I hated the PS2.

I love how the completion time is coming down. I would bet you never played it because that dont sound like heavenly sword to me. What about the shooting parts, and the parts where you have to faff around shooting shields at levers etc.

The way it is going xbox owners will be nailing this game in 20 minutes by next week.

I am with devilsadvocate. I don't believe you GunPants. How comes, that if the boss battles are too long and boring, and you can beat the game in 5 hours?

I bet, the net time is more then that, because there is no fast run thru mode. You have to beat up the crowd, you can't just ignore them. A 5 hour play sound like a run thru to me, IMO. If you don't want to play a game to enjoy but want to finish it as quick as possible, what's the point in playing at all ?

The environment is amazing, the shooting elements add a nice variety, the dialog cut scenes unique. How's that a 5/10 ?

nough said. go play Halo.

Kadajvs - 830 days 20 hours ago

dude first of all stop with all your lieing because one.. the game is more than 5hours even without dieing and you're the only xbot fanboy that i've heard that said it was lame..even your other fellow xbot boys agreed it's an awesome game so stop trying to cover up and not give credit where it's due. If you knew anything you would know that started making this game 4YEARS ago meaning they didnt even have the developer kits that are out now to help support them making this game into a 50gig game so do your research before you try to flame a game you have no idea about you idiot...PS3 rocks FTW

The combat system is deep and visceral, the cutscenes are amazing, and really the only gripe that I've seen from reviewers is that the shooting sequences weren't very deep compared to the combat, and that the game can be beaten in 8 hours (10 for novices).

You remind me of EliteGamer when he said "I have Motorstorm. It's an OK game. Kind of fun, but it's too short. I beat it in 2 hours, so it's definitely a 7 for me." Of course, he thought there were only 8 races in the game, not 40 (and they are LONG races). You can't even beat the game unless you start getting first place in every race, which is damn hard after Tickets 10 and 11.

Seriously. Stop trying to fool us.

Kadajvs - 830 days 20 hours ago

yea cause bioshock was soooo long right..i rented bioshock because for mostly all FPS are short and there was no exception for this one..yea it's long if you do all the side missions which nobody ever does. My roommate and I both beat this game in no more than 10hours..Gears of War beat in 7-8hours and the story was hella dumb but yet it got good ratings hmm wonder why maybe because it was another shooter on the 360.When they start comparing the length of Gears to the length of halo 2 you know it's short. They only gave bioshock good ratings cause it another dumbass FPS along with 90% of all 360 games which i'm not buying another 360 game until they come out with a variety of different games like ME and LO and not just FPS. For right now i'll enjoy my HS and UT3 on my PS3 with FREE online play. PS3 rocks FTW

If that game would be on the 360, I'd would give a rats a$$, because I do not comment on 360 games. And I am sure, there are a ton of good 360 games out there.

And what happens when your flagship Halo 3 comes out, what then? Killing off Halo might be one of the worst mistakes ever for the 360.
At least the PS3 will have awesome games all the way till the end of its life cycle. I'm still waiting for awesome games like God of War 3 and Twisted Metal to be announced. Man I love variety.
Sorry if you will still be playing Halo 3 till the 720 is released in about 2 years, then MS drops the 360 like an unwanted baby in a dumpster. Have fun with all that.

:) I had to get used to it. But then, on that one gate (2nd chapter) where you have to "pillars" left and right to open the door, I killed a whole battery of enemies from one side shooting shields across. That was kind a, eh, unique and experimental, but a lot of fun :) (not that you have to do it this way, you could climb up there and mash 'em).

Iv been playing HS for 8 hours and still not beat it, I think it will take me at least 10 hours so I suppose it depends on the person playing it.

I like how you all come here and attack the PS3. Its a great system and it cannot be denied. You all try and find fault with the PS3 and its games.. FFS GET A LIFE!!!! You say we are loosing hope? you are mistaken my friend, the PS3 life is just beginning!

Just accept that the PS3 has great games as does the 360.

the problem with your belief is simple: the RROD is a fact. and reporting facts is not starting a flame war. it's just relaying factual info. this article is nothing more than very subjective opinions from followers of microsoft.

defending a 7 hour game with one that is almost double its size doesnt make your argument any stronger....in fact it makes you look like a child supporting his favorite game..which also nullifys your asking how old first knight it. ..you give someone the choice of paying for the short game or the longer one, I myself would pick bioshock if i owned both systems.....graphics are nice on hs but face it..we are paying too much for games these days and 7-8 hours wont cut it.

But the Wii is in a different category then the xbox and ps3...this next gen war is between the next gen...dont you agree or since the wii is beating the xbox you decide it is on par with both systems? The cheaper console will always win out...when the ps3 is 400 bucks as rumors state there will be a change in sales im sure. But until then the Wii will dominate.
