Microsoft's not out of the woods just yet they already bit into nintendo's apple , as well theyll get theirs when wii u launches this year they already lost 95 percent profit over year , sony just in the same boat as well , sad lems and cows all they do is worry about movies and internet that --- their games are being out sold by mighty wii software such as wii sports mariokart etc

face the music , when you go into direct competition with nintendo your gonna lose

see the wii nintendo did thier own thing and ms sony tried to follow and got their behind handed to them -and thats exactly whats gonna happen if they come out with something similar to the u ,

mariokart64fan

Difference is Microsoft as a whole is making large profits the odd $100 million is nothing, Sony on the other hand is bleeding cash everywhere.

And by the way Nintendo had their worst year ever last year money wise.

xenophobe? who would do that?

Bigboi500

I don't know. I said the Japanese are a xenophobic culture and I was modded. This was after the rule change mind you but a little while ago.

Well maybe calling a whole country's culture "xenophobic" is a bit more extreme than using that to label a few posters on the internet? :P

Meh, truth may be considered extreme.

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"] lemmings? :PBigboi500

I dont think there are that many Japanese Lemmings :P

But plenty of English ones, most of which are good people and respectful gamers, but... there are quite a few here on SW that constantly hate any and all things Japanese (and not all of them are lemmings btw).

I cant forgive Japan for pearl harbor. It just rubbed me the wrong way.

again, you never mentioned time

[QUOTE="kuraimen"]There's nothing bad about rehashing games if they are good but when you only have three and do it every year then it doesn't seem so good anymore.kuraimen

the last halo game was in 2010, that's two years, so by your logic: not a rehash

Halo Anniversary :| You guys get the same games so much that you forget when they release lol

how are any of the collections sony releases any better than halo anniversary?

You forgot Sly Collection. what'swrongwithyou.jpg

"I haven't played many of the HD remasters or their original games." My bad though, I should have listed which ones I played. But even if I did play them, I'm having a hard time imagining the original Sly, RaC, and Jak and Daxter games top Halo 1/Anniversary. SoTC does because its my favorite game of all time, and God of War 1 and 2 are part of my favorite franchise ever and are some of the best games ever.

This makes me incredibly sad but what's even worse is the people celebrating this. No real gamer should want and hope for a company to fall. The industry needs competition.

I should go back for the plat. Also go with Sly and buy PoP 2008 instead. It's $5 at GameStop and one of the best games this generation.

Don't blame them bro since they have been too busy talking about Xbot this... Xbot that....:P

wait did you guys read that sony reduced the deficit from 2billion to 312million....and cutting jobs (very sad, sorry to hear that ) could get them back to the black if sony does the same thing financially this quarter...which is more than likely since its the holiday season

This really sucks for them, but at the same time it's good for Sony. They have to do this, and it'll help them recover. There really is no other way.

"Sony will cut staff at its Gifu, Japan headquarters by one-fifth" Lets hope it's the idiots near the top who are so disconnected from the business that they can't do anything right and when they do something right it's months too late and has no effect.

There are quite a few heads they can lose at Japan that have being doing apparently nothing through the entire generation, but layoffs in Japan are hard or so I hear. Let's hope they don't fire any developers, can't get far without the wizards.

I really don't get americans, pre-crisis the comments would have been ''Good, they're cutting down the fat.'' now it's "That's horible, I will pray for the fired people." It's like empathy for other countries only exists if a crisis or financial hard times hit america too. That aside,

It's indeed a shame they got layed off. Here's to hoping they can find another job soon.
