The only player that is a sure thing is the PS3! Stand alone units can't play games so they are a gamble. If you look at view tips in your n4g profile, N'gai Croal got word yesterday September 24th, (the article is todays yahoo news),of Sony ordering alot of 40 gb hardrives. He speculates a new sku by thanksgiving (rumor). At $399 or $499 the best bet is the PS3. Now standalone Blu Rays will outsell Hd-dvd players by a margin but of course everyone won't be going gung ho over them. The PS3 wi...
But Sony has something that can trump it! No one wants to match something that has been matched 3 times! Sony will make something Microsoft can't match about 7 times over!
Let's sing:
The Eggs are in one basket (Halo),
oh the eggs are in one basket (Halo-lo-lo),
oooooh the little pretty eggs, are in one little ole' basket (Halo-le-lo-lo-looo)!!
Trust me, the Killzone footage helped sell Halo 3 to somebody in the world who hasn't played 1 or 2. Killzone 2 looks awesome!
I am picking it up today! It is a new Ip, female lead at that, it will take time to reach 350,000 in the US. Hopefully it will clear 1 million worldwide after Christmas. Japan doesn't get it till November. The PS3's price is a factor.
It will be interesting!
Is that a dinosaur? Freaking amazing!
Blu Ray is like 5 million homes deep right now. How can Hd-dvd catch up? PS3 is a sure thing for games and movies. But will shoppers buy a stand alone hd-dvd or Blu Ray player this season? My bets are on a marginal win on standalone blu-ray players over standalone hd-dvd this x-mas because the movie library is packed with blockbusters including DISNEY (hello). Blu ray movies will easily trump hd-dvd movie sales. I have 10 blu rays to buy! Most people will choose a win/win 1080p PS3 if anythin...
Halo 3 is familiar to most but this is new for 99% of all gamers. This looks like it could be fun with the right continued support. Kotaku, keep us posted.
I have, and Blu Ray has the best movies...PERIOD. "it's all about the games", well, "it's all about the movies"...Fall 2007 through 2008 Sony is "all about the games and the movies". You bet.
that is when the Spiderman 3 DVD, Blu Ray and Blu Ray Special Trilogy (1,2,and 3) will be releasing.
why do you care about this article so much? It never said the 360 is doing bad. Halo 3 will boost 360 sales, um duh? But I know the PS3 and Wii, will be more than fine without Halo this generation and next. You know it, I know it, and every gamer should know. The big three: Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft are not going any damn where for decades to come!
Lovin' the art style!
We have Mass Effect coming. Then Adam said, yeah but for 2008? Shane said, Halo and Mass effect should have strong sales. Then Adam was like, "ok thanks Mr. kim" (for avoiding the question). This is a company with all their eggs in a 2007 basket. Remember when Bill Gates said, "Sony, they are only about games, we are in other markets". We were mad because Sony has so many great products in more markets, but now, it is a huge compliment. Sony Computer Entertainment is a gam...
It was ok when it started then it got funny! They said 10 million Halo 1's were sold in the first 8 months? Um, it took 8 months to sell 2 million Halo 1's. The fist Halo is around 6 million sold. The second Halo, a little over 8 million. Bungie even said the franchise has sold 14 million. It was good at the beginning, then even my bro, who likes 360 (but loves PS3 too) said it was getting scripted. Adam Sessler said this, "Most people bought 360's just for this night to come!" Morg...
I will see what the fuss is about. He did not even hardly touch Halo 2, he never finished it...so?
Hell no. I don't want to play "forge". I saw it last night, it is nothing like creating your own levels. You can't change the geometry of the level. If Halo 3 now gets compared to LittleBigPlanet, then Microsoft is officially a joke!
This company is all about monopoly, well it "ain't gonna happen". I have seen dozens of youtube videos of 360 owners cursing Microsoft for the red rings. Halo 3 is well Halo, I saw G4 last night. Sony has nothing to worry about. Sony has more swagger than nerdy Microsoft. Just because they finally found a brand, doesn't mean Sony and Nintendo should cry. Without Sony, this generation would be straight wack! MS has nothing I want to play out first party! Right now I like Heavenly Swo...
you both crap out.
sony does everything on point. This makes me want it. My friend bought his PS3 yesterday, maybe he saw this. I gotta get Heavenly Sword. Love the commercial!
Madden sold over 980,000 combined on ps2 (664,000) and ps3 (330,000)_ according to npd last month. Microsoft sold an impressive 889,000 on 360. So despite no marketing for Madden on Ps2, PS3, or wii, by EA's dumb one sided xbox live campaign, players chose playstation versions most. Go to 1up.com. Click on "So Halo 3 is out, whaddaya think" article. Read the comments of 360 and Halo 3 owners. You will be shocked about how the hype lived up! I knew it!
