Does MS even care anymore?..

Nope they don't care, after this year they are only going to have Natal and a pool of money from all the people paying to play Halo 3.

how original another 360 bashing thread

What M$ cares about and will always care about only is MONEY!

Just because PS3 has had a great year doesn't mean MS is somehow losing the will to fight. We only need to go back to the start of this generation to see that.

Question, is this all just because ps3 got another exclusive 9.0 game?Javieralijandro

[QUOTE="Kennysolidsnake"]Ok whats the deal here.. the 360 has been getting killed this year in terms of AAAE and its as though they dont even care.. I mean it was like a MS executive had a board meeting with its shareholders and said "Ok my fellow executives, our goal for 2009 is to release Halo ODST, sell millions and go home" and the board members are voted yes to that plan. and Next year doesnt look so hot either.. I mean Games like MAG, Heavy Rain, God Of War 3 and Gran Turismo 5 all come out next year at the START of the year between Januarary and April while all of 360s semi good exclusives come out next fall... So is MS going to just sit back and let Sony just kill them the first half of next year with their killer line up and let PS3 take even more of a lead? I mean Where is Gears of war 3, thats the reason i bought my 360 3 years ago was because of Gears and Gears 3 is nowhere in sight.. Halo Reach? I dont want another Halo, give me variety MS not the same ole same ole.. So my question is, is MS just sitting back counting the money of all their Xbox live gold members paying them a yearly fee and forgetting about games? It just seems like MS gaming division morale is just down, i mean the previous years you would ALWAYS have PR from MS updating gamers with new games, coming out and atleast fighting back, this year its like they just plain ole dont care.. Yea they cut the price of the 360 but now the 360 is the same exact price as the PS3 for the first time and MS would have NEVER let that happen the last few years.Dweedleking5000

Except I was being sarcastic and you weren't.

Microsoft does browse System Wars occasionally, and I think it was after inFamous scoring a 9.0 here on Gamespot that MS stopped caring about winning the console war. They did have to put out Halo ODST this year, however, but that was only because MS almost went bankrupt because they didn't have any AAAe's for the first 9 months of this year.

Speaking of Halo, what was the point of Bungie splitting (sort of) from MS because they wanted make more than just Halo games? I haven't heard about a new IP from them yet.

No. Sony willingly invested billions of dollars into the PS3 and was losing money on each console sold to please the gamers by releasing the best games this gen exclusively on the PS3 because it can only be done on the ps3.

They are not greedy at all, plus their hardware doesn't break down so they actually bothered to make a good hardware architecture to make sure we gamers get the best product available even at Sony's expense

MS and Nintendo are greedy not Sony.

the rrod issue should answer you question.

I'm sorry. Take an economics class. Actually, just read an econ book. Actually, just look up the definition of capitalism on wikipedia. Sony is greedy. If they weren't they wouldn't be in business.

The Sony marketing department just called, they want their minimum wage salary they gave you to plug it back. If they care so much about gamers then why did they release a handheld system that requires people to rebuy games they already own to play on it?

Falling back to the sales games eh?

Ratings indicate the quality of a game where as sales don't tell you directly how good a game is. It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

I agree. M$ better get off their a$$ or they can lose 2nd place in this gen. Sony is slowly catching up compared to online standards and their exclusives are killing since 2008.

Actually renting is better, then again some of us prefer to use our own experiences with a game rather then rely on someone elses opinion to determine the games quality. Those of us that aren't blind followers...

I'm sure that a multibillion dollar corporation keeps track of how exclusives are rated on the second-most popular forum of one of the most popular gaming sites. Wait until they release their 3Q Financial Reports with extensive details from MastaChief7200 on how Halo ODST is "The ****!!!111!!!"

They are the doing the same thing as they did last gen. DROP IT LIKE A HOT POTATO

Atleast they can say they were not really trying ehen they finish this gen in last place.

[QUOTE="MizFitAwesome"]

[QUOTE="nervmeister"]Because it's a far better tool to help one decide what to play (even better if one decides to actually read the reviews). Sales mostly represent how well a game is advertised or marketed. It means virtually nothing in terms of quality. If that were the case, Mercenaries 2 would've been nominated for GOTY. Also, this may come as a shock to you, but games don't need to achieve Halo numbers or higher in order to profit. So try again.
