Yes, because we all know that solving a celestial mystery involving gravitational waves is the most funnest thing in the world…

And after a hard day at work, coming back home to that is something EVERY kids wants to grow up to experience during the hour after dinner and before going to bed….

Right now, a cluster of eight interlinked PS3s is busy solving a celestial mystery involving gravitational waves and what happens when a super-massive black hole, about a million times the mass of our own sun, swallows up a star.

lol lol…that editorial is saying: ok, we give up, we accept it, PS3 is better than 360, don’t hurt our feelings any more, We have a cheap box, but at least it plays video games(till the RROD), so..”let’s play and have fun”.

@norbit

yeaah!! when they have nothing to show that the “Xbox-plz-fix-me” is better, they always avoid the subject with something else.

btw..I heard there’s an Xbox Portable in the works, and they say that thing is gonna make Osama’s life easier and cheap,no bombs , no chemicals , just buy an xbox portable and let it overheat in a plane and b00m! it looks like Microshit is the Next-Gen of terrorism.

Happy gaming!!

thanks for info. take it the £325 is for the 60gig console and £300 for the new 40gig setup?

Posting sales figures for companies? each post on any topic produces a massive list of all the games Sony will produce in the next year and a half.

Thinking because someone has a different oppinion or would like something different causes you to utterly defend sony? To critize another person or personally attack their oppinion for being different? Every game you defend sucks if its not Sony, or not a game for a sony product?

There are great games for all systems, and all systems have their own abilities just because they all arent for the PS3 dont mean every thing else sucks or sony have a something better out.

i think you should ask your self this question?”Seriously, are you 10 years old or something?”

1) Never diss your competitors publicly.
2) Never burn bridges with industry folk you work with or may do in future.

Because these things tend to come back and bite you on your ass.

The £425 price tag has now dropped to £350 and there is a new lower spec £299 version also.

Don’t be sorry, its your opinion based on your personal gaming tastes. I guarantee you that the PS3 lineup will shift far more units and sell far more consoles however and seeing as I don’t own either console I’m speaking from a position of complete neutrality. The PS3 lineup is far, far stronger. There are 2 franchises in there that have sold over 50m units and 2 that have shifted over 20m.

I would expect Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy 13 to outsell each of those games individually while its more than possible that Gran Turismo 5 will outsell all 4 of them put together, after all its games sell on average over 11m units per episode which is over 4m more than Halo does. Then there is LittleBigPlanet which I have a hunch will go on to be the defining game not only of the PS3 but of this generation of consoles. I have never seen such universal praise and downright love for a game as I have for that. It has the potential to be absolutely massive.

There are some true system selling titles being released on the PS3 over the next year. While its certainly true that the 360 has some promising titles being released which might shift a million or 2, the vast majority of people who are eagerly awaiting them are current 360 owners. I’ve never read anyone say ‘I will buy a 360 when Mass Effect/Too Human/fable 2 is released’.

With that PS3 lineup it is highly possible that Sony will shift another 10m+ PS3s between now and the end of 2008.

your right, just skimming, it there are a couple of good pedigree PS3 games on your list.

that said though, i just cant ignore the £425 price tag for the PS3 on its own.
plus i think sesmu does have a point, some of your listed 360 games do look promising.

in short, i’ll probably leave it for a while.

Fable 2. Mass Effect. Lost Odyssey. Too Human. Those are bound to be some of the best selling games this fiscal year.

That sums you up completely. Its called fact. Truth. Reality. I’m sorry it doesn’t fit in with your idiotic Sony bashing and I’m sorry I continually bring your moronic rants back down to earth with cold hard facts but seriously. there is only so long you can go on ignoring the truth isn’t there?

I say Sony are more successful at gaming. You say they aren’t. I prove they are. You ignore the proof.

You say the PS3 is selling badly. I prove it isn’t. You ignore it.

Seriously, are you 10 years old or something?

“Honestly i only speak my opinion on something and that’s all i have to say on it”

Sorry to break this to you but considering most of your opinions seem to have no basis in reality you might want to consider the possibility you might be an idiot.

I will never be able to waste my time searching for statistics and facts. because no one cares. if a person wants to read those, they will look themselves. All im saying is I dont care how sony does or microsoft does. I only do this because it gets you on the rant and its enjoyable for me to see you get all bent out of shape when someone give their oppinion thats different than your almighty Sony company or the umlimited all knowing king of devices PS3.

Honestly i only speak my oppinion on something and thats all i have to say on it. then you get all worked up and go on a rant on stats to prove a point thats different. If its against sony for anyone you get all defensive, its quite entertaining, thanks for making my day. keep up the good work.

Its not spoken like a true fan by, its spoken by someone who isn’t ignoring facts. This article is about the success of Sony’s new console not their TVs or Laptops. Sony are more successful at gaming than Microsoft. I don’t know why that pains you to hear but just admit it instead of trying to ignore it.

Financially the Xbox division of Microsoft is a total abject failure.

“i got one, and you know what? to this day, i dont regret it. given how many games and exclusives the 360 has by comparison. not not mention the price! just for the console!”

I’m very happy for you. Now please tell me about the exclusives the 360 has for next year, or the year after that are better in comparison to the PS3.

I’ll make things easier for you. These are some of the PS3 exclusives for the coming year or so:

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Gran Turismo 5
Tekken 6
Final Fantasy 13
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Time Crisis 4
Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier
Haze
Killzone 2
LittleBigPlanet
The Agency
The Getaway 3
Infamous
LA Noir
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune

Here are the 360 ones I can find:

Banjo-Kazooie 3
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic: Elements
Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2
Fable 2
Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom
Lost Odyssey
Mass Effect
Ninja Gaiden 2
Too Human
Warhound

There are a few promising looking games there but I sure popular opinion would agree that the PS3 future lineup looks far stronger.

As far as I can see there are currently 81 exclusives released or in production for the 360 but there are 95 released or in production for the PS3 which is pretty significant seeing as the PS3 has been out for a year less.

i got one, and you know what? to this day, i dont regret it. given how many games and exclusives the 360 has by comparison. not not mention the price! just for the console!

like i said im not bashing the PS3, but it has hurt itself when it comes to price and game selection.

Over all Moneysoft is king. personaly i dont care for your facts. keep up the good work.

MICROSOFT HAVE LOST MONEY FROM CONSOLE GAMING.

SONY HAVE MADE MONY FROM CONSOLE GAMING.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND???? THATS HARD CAST IRON FACT.

Sony are currently losing mony from gaming because it is the launch of a new console which is normal. This is what Sonys game division was doing in the same period that the Xbox lost a total of $5.7bn

2004-2005 $407 profit
2003-2004 $800m profit
2002-2003 $1bn profit
2001-2002 $486m profit
2000-2001 $110m loss due to launch of PS2

In no year since they entered the console market have Microsoft made money from gaming. They have lost billions.

Can you seriously not understand the difference between the incredible financial success of Sony’s gaming division and the total fucking mess of Microsoft’s?

I guess those Billions and billions that microsoft makes from there unlited copies of Windows what ever, and Office what ever, etc….. Xbox and PS3 both are supposed at a loss to manufacture upon what ever else things cost.

But as for both game divisions they both loose money on their consoles sold alone. So your facts and figures are not the point. its PS3 sales here, not PS2 sales, if thats the case, i can go back to the 80’s and quote the original “NES” from nintendo funded them on Wii profits. ????? the chewbacca defence, it just dont make sence.
