So it's not fair to compare PS3 JRPGs like folklore and disgaea 3. The sales of tales PROVES beyond a doubt that its the franchise that sells. 360 got the big franchises and squandered them while Sony is about to mop up.
GIVE ME LAST REMNANT, SQUARE! I'M ENTITLED TO IT!
This is usually the case with 360 "exclusives."
The 360 players want everything NOWNOWNOW and they get to beta test for the PS3 players which get to play the 360 "exclusives" later, and are playing proper, finished retail products while the 360 people are beta testing, so it's winwinwin for PS3 peeps.
It's a slap in the face to Microsoft, who hauls bags of money at these developers just to be pissed all over by them when they give PS3 owners the superior...
People actually think 360 will end up on top in September because of this game.
Yo.
Youch! This is meant to "stop" Slim and Uncharted 2? Hahaha.
And after seeing how PS3 sales just destroyed 360 LTD sales of the title within one day/one week, they're gonna want to put it on the winning HD console in Europe, the PS3. They'll get many more sales that way. In fact, just drop 360 support altogether. People will sell their 360s and buy PS3s and Namco doesn't have to waste money on Microsoft.
Yo, Killzone, you were better than every 360 exclusive this year and I'mma let you finish, but Uncharted 2 is the best game of ALL TIME. Of ALL TIME.
The Wii is down over 50% from last year. OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHHHH HHHH
Third where? Xbox 360 is plummeting straight down and will be a distant third this generation. The only question is if Slim can overcome Wii.
Oh I'm gonna love rubbing the holiday sales in your face, and next year's, and the next year's and the next year's. The KING IS BACK, and he ain't going anywhere.
Goodbye 360, you had a terrible run.
Because it's never true.
Not when Microsoft strikes up a publishing deal (Mass Effect 2 - you'll see, but it's on PC anyway)
Not when they trumpet exclusivity at their conferences (See Splinter Cell Conviction, L4D2, also on PC)
Not when they PUBLISH THE GAME THEMSELVES!!! (Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - have you ever seen a Sony published game on another console this or last generation? NOO!)
Not when it says only on Xbox (Tales of Vesperia)
...
The Elite, after the price drop, continues to fall out of the top 100, and the limited edition Elite with massive hard drive, extra controller and most popular game this year packed in STILL can't overcome the Slim, still snugly sitting in the top 5.
Slim is obviously beating all versions of the Xbox 360 combined. That's gotta hurt, Microsoft. Take the beating and get out of the industry like the dogs you are.
The MS holiday sales attack will go something like this:
Microsoft: Begone, foul cur! We may have been battered, beaten and brok'n like dogs, the end is nigh, and desperate revenge is upon us. There! Zounds! Lord Sony, the King returneth! With all the might I have left, from the pits of Redmond, and the Nine Red Rings of Hell, I STAB AT THEEEEEE!
Sony: Yow! My toe.
The holiday sales are gonna go something like this:
Microsoft: Begone, foul curr! We may have been battered, beaten and brok'n like dogs, but make haste, for revenge is upon us. There! Zounds! Lord Sony, the King returneth! With all the might I have left, from the pits of Redmond, and the Nine Red Rings of Hell, I STAB AT THEEEEEE!
Sony: Yow! My toe.
Treachery is afoot! Heed, young readers, for bags filled with money have been showered unto IGN by the wicked devil of Redmond. Lest ye wish to give them hits and reward them for their poor manners, banish IGN into the bowels of hell and don't click, fools.
Sometimes it pays to have a little patience. I hate playing beta versions of games.
And of course, they're already shifted away from Wii and onto PS3:

Edit: What's there to disagree with? Ok, fine. NOT "fair enough." You were wrong for thinking that this news was misleading, especially when the machinery was already in motion.
Here are a few gems from our PM exchange:

The Wii can't sustain their third party efforts, and the 360 is a non-presence in Japan.
Flock, ye sinners, into the arms of merciful Sony; cast away thine hats woven from fine Microsoft money, repent for thine lapses of judgement in thine creations for the White whimper of Nintendo, and Sony shall forgive thee, and bless thee, and reward thee with sales.

Never forget:
Game Informer: But we knew that two years ago.
Kim: What?
Game Informer: Resident Evil. It was shown at TGS two years ago.
Kim: No, but coming to Xbox 360.
Game Informer: Yeah. It was at the press event.
Kim: I don't think so.
Game Informer: I'm positive. I was there.
Kim: Really?
Game Informer: It was shown at both press conferences.
Kim: That RE5 wa...
Twist it into the evil heart of Microsoft. Man, way to kick them when they're down, Sony. They just dropped the price of the elite and sales plummeted instead. Now you're adding PS2 AND DC emulation?
Game over Microsoft, game over.
