Re: [Xbox] Re: Sony to MS: You've punched yourself out of the fight

why do u think 360 is on it's last legs?  it might be 50% through it's lifespan, maybe.

Yes.. and the PS3 has been out for how long?   It was expected to outsell the 360 by now.

again, the 360 is going on it's last legs, and Blu-Ray is now standard.. 

 

of course, that's not how Sony spins the story though.

actually, ps3 has been outselling 360 the past 2-3 months

Still no where near the Wii and the 360, and it's close enough to the death of HD-DVD.

and it's not that I hate Sony.  I hate the bait and switch tactics they use and I hate

the 'our shit doesn't stink' attidude of their marketing.  I play EQ2, so it's not like
i'm not giving money to Sony.   I still won't own one unless I win one.. One is given to me,

or I finally get an HD TV with a new sound system and want a 'HD' DVD player.

 

   Now stop being a Fanboy.

no, quinn is quite wrong, sales got really strong in december/january, before hd-dvd was announced dead, you just hate sony

PogoWolf wrote:

Sorry man..  Quinn was correct with one statement:  "the system would fail if not for that drive."

that's true, and the numbers prove it.  As soon as people found out that HD-DVD was dead

that's when sales started to pick back up.   

 

It will be interesting to see what the next year will bring for the PS3, since the 360 is on it's last legs
the 'holy crap!' moments will be few and far between.  Where as the PS3 is supposed to have more

power, so the developers should just be starting to see what the PS3 can pull off.

 

but damn.. Lair is the best game.. the PS3 is doomed to doing nothing more then play movies.

  oh wait.. there's also Ridge Racer!!!!!

well, your not even close to correct, you probably only think this because your a typical fanboy.  but lets be clear about this, almost any game that comes out for 360, is also on the ps3, the ps3 has a rather large library, but not a lot of exlusives.  ps3 is a fantastic system, though 360 is my system of choice, for the controller and online play, but i do love my ps3 as well

plus, i'm a HD whore, so i love my bluray too LOL

nobody has 15 games for their ps3 because they all suck for the most part. everyone has been buying it for the bluray they dont play games on it. the system would fail if not for that drive. the real game players are on 360 or their  PS2 not the PS3 thats plain and simple. ~Quinn

The funny thing is that all of the new PS3 games are putting large
amounts, 3-5g of data onto the HD the 1st time you put a game into
the PS3 due to the slowness of the blue-ray drive. So you purchase a
game, pop it into your PS3 and wait 5-20 minutes before you can play
it while it copies data. I know why it is being done, so that the
game loads/streams faster, but there is no choice, automatically
takes the HD space away for any game. If you do the math those poor
people who own the 40g version will put about 15 games into their
system and the HD will be full (averaging 3g per game). If you
delete that data from the HD it will force the auto-reload of that
data the next time you play that game, another 5-20 minute wait.
Good move Sony, way to make users feel loved.
