What a bunch of jargon.Cow's have been absolutely RABID lately.
The frustration of not having anything worthwhile to play must be getting to them.
Seriously though, it's not only recently, but for MONTHS and MONTHS Cow's have created at least 10 threads a week about:
a) The 360 wont be around by 2009
b) The 360 lineup is horrible and nothing compared to PS3's
c) The 360 will be dropped my Microsoft at the end of 2008
:roll: :roll: :roll:I realise this is just normal fanboy trolling, and all sides do it, but NEVER with the same amount of MALICE and VENOM that the BS3 users electronically HISS at 360 owners because of the PURCHASE THEY'VE MADE.
Cow's are especially bitter that the 360 is doing so much better than the PS3 (with the Wii absolutely demolishing it) because they're used to being king of the castle and telling other console owners to eat cake for so, so long. It really is bittersweet.
On the flipside, one thing Cows can't stop talking about is the object of their affection - SONY.
DAILY Cow threads:
a) "SONY gonna pwn 2008" (pwn :roll: )
b) PS3 outsells 360!!!!!!!!!!!! (*click on link : In Japan)
c) PS3 will have 2X better graphics than 360 in 2008
d) PS3 has the best lineup ever in 200(insert 1-9 number here)!!!!!!!!!...amongst others we're all sick of hearing about, the worst and most tiresome are:
BambooBanger
e) FF-MMCLXXVIIII and MGS4... why buy a 360 ?
f) THE PS3 HAS SOLD JUST AS WELL AS THE 360 DID IN ITS FIRST YEAR SO ITS DOING BETTER THAN THE 360
Seriously, why must Cow's be so melodramatic ? They take EVERYTHING beyond the pale.
Sheep are just annoying, and Hermits don't apply.
I swear being on SW you would think the 360 is about to be discontiued

[QUOTE="Javy03"][QUOTE="too_much_eslim"][QUOTE="Javy03"][QUOTE="too_much_eslim"]I mean all I hear is PS3 has potential while the 360 is maxed out. 2008 isPS3 year the 360 has nothing. The PS3 shows it graphical progression the 360 can't even beat the Gears of War after a year.
You guys need to calm down. The 360 is far from being maxed out and it has plenty for 2008. Just because one system has more popular well known games doesn't mean it is going to be that system year. It could be, but that is all just speculation now.
How about you guys wait until the next gaming conference to see what the 360 has in store. I picked the 360 over the PS3 because it isn't an establish console and doesn't have staple games to call them xbox's ips. I like new ips and generally choose them over established franchise if they are fun, and I consider the established franchise stale( I have nothing against sequals I like sequals too). Not saying the PS3 doesn't have new IPs, but the 360 has more and they seem far interesting.
However this doesn't mean I do not want a PS3. I do and will be getting one when FFXIII comes out unless level 5 finds a way to make the battle system awesome again in WKS.
Microsoft might have alot of surprises for you. Sucks that people only want to see Sony succeed. During the Nintendo Sega era I preferred Sega, but never felt that Nintendo was utterly crap and had no games I could ever enjoy. I don't see why people were like that last gen and this gen.
too_much_eslim
I don't know what your front page looks like but until November most of the front page threads here in SW were talking bad about PS3, saying it has no good games and other myths. I am glad you chose the 360 for yourself but you kind of contradict yourself in your post. You say you avoid sequels and chose new IPs but then say you will get a PS3, not for Little Big Planet, HS, Uncharted, Warhawk, or many other solid new Ips but for FFXIII. The freakin 13th entry into this series and you complain about sequels?
I would have bought ps3 by now if the games you mention where worth the $60. A 7 -9 hour experience for HS and a 12 hr experience Uncharted is not worth shelling $400 on a system when these two games my most highly anticipated games at that doesn't even break 30 hrs of gameplay combined. Once I beat a game I am done. Unless it has achievements that I want to get.FFXIII is not really a sequal because it is an entirely new game. I stated WKS didn't I?
The PS3 has many of the same games as the 360. Most of them run just as well on the PS3. Aside from the plentiful exclusives that give around the same gameplay time as many solid games like MGS, GOW, and the not so 40 hour ME, you can enjoy tons of multiplats like Need for Speed, Dirt, Oblivion, Rainbow Six, NGS, COD 4, etc.. Not to mention the fact that you can watch HD movies when you dont wanna game.
Oh and Warhawk, Resistence, COD 4,Motorstorm and Rainbow Six are all solid online games that easily give you more then 30 hours of gameplay. At the end of the day it comes down to preference. You chose the 360 because it was best for your taste. In my opinion the PS3 easily justified the 400 I spend on it. Since launch I have played plenty of games on a regular basis and got a freakin solid Blu ray collection as well.
Sorry buddy, but I wanted Halo 3. However I wans't going to get the 360 if it did not get any JRPGs. Once Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Cry On, Magna Carta 2, Eternal Sonata, and Infinit Undiscovery was announced I jumped in. I normally not a fan of the FF series though, but FFXIII and FFversus peeked my interests. Once again if WKS story truns out to be awesome again I will buy a PS3 along with that game.Also most multiplat games have been better on the 360 and were not delayed.
I dont know if Blue Dragon and LO were the games that helped you jump into the 360, I dont think WKS has to work to hard to be better then at least Blue Dragon and if LO meets its hype of A, LO as well.
[QUOTE="King_of_Sorrow"][QUOTE="too_much_eslim"][QUOTE="King_of_Sorrow"][QUOTE="too_much_eslim"][QUOTE="King_of_Sorrow"]I don't get what are you trying to say. Are you saying the 360 and the wii is being left behind the PS3. I make this assumption based on the fact you compare an 8 bit and 16 bit system with a 32 bit system.Xbox360 = Sega Genesis
Wii = Nintendo Entertainment System
PS3 = Playstation 1
That's how I feel about the current gen.
Sdur001
This is based on how they started and my porjection on how they will end up like.
So you are saying Nintendo is going to take over the market again,the xbox will eventually be no more, and Sony will retake the console supremacy?Yes, I think Nintendo will win this gen because of the casual vote. I believe the Xbox360 is a successful console, but the company is not. Sony will place second, but still will be consider the console for 'gamers'.
I see so many say something to the tone of this but I never read how that will happen.Do you realize that the PS3 must sale 500.000+ more consoles per month then the 360 to beat them in sales before 2009?
So far (on a combined world wide basese) the PS3 hasn't done that since launch.
I'm not saying the PS3 is a ad console (I do question the Blu-ray drive and what they are using it for) but Logic would tell you that Microsoft will stay in 2nd through out this gen.
Not really. Japan is the reason to believe this. The gap between the PS3 and 360 will only widen.I see so many say something to the tone of this but I never read how that will happen.Do you realize that the PS3 must sale 500.000+ more consoles per month then the 360 to beat them in sales before 2009?

Umm WKS has to do a lot. I liked the gameplay from TGS06. What I saw at TGS 07 was terrible. Also after seeing like the first hour of LO, KS will have to do a lot in the story department. LO looks fantastic WKS at this point does not. I like LO despite its archaic battle system. Also why should I car ewhat the hype score here is. I hyped it AAA.[QUOTE="too_much_eslim"] Not really.

I thinkFactor 5 and WKS dont have much competition in the form of Blue Dragon and LO. Eternal Sonata looks interesting and am curious to seehow the PS3 version turns out.

Umm the poor previews are bs and they are just nit picking. As I said based on other people who have played the game and based on the five 10 minute vids I saw LO is an amazing game. BD is fun too. If your a FF/DQ fan you should be interested in these two games. Also you make it sound like WKS is going to be all that. It got bad previews too you know after what was shown in TGS 07.The 360 is the most hated console because it's the best value on the market right now. Everyone is jealous of HALO3 and the achievement system so they are constantly spewing bile at both. It's really quite remarkable. Everyone should love it. JiveT
Not not everyone, quite clearly not even a majority.
I do not mean to come off like an arse I just want to get in understading of how people see the PS3 being number 2 by the end of this geraration. Seeing as how your a very noticable PS3 fan. I thought you would be the perfect person to ask.Sdur001
My theory:
Sony is the 4th largest gaming company in the world. Their first year is what it should be, a foundation. I've notice the ground work on many new IP Sony has created. Now, none of them were knock-your-socks off great, but good. Think about two-three years down the road when you start to see the developers make better decision on games like R:FOM 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm 2, Heavenly Sword 2, Lair 2, Warhawk 2 and so on. Not to mention the games that are staple to the PS brand (MGS, FF, GT, Socom and GOW) I project the PS3 to outsell the 360 in Europe and Japan. I really think US will be a battle, but PS3 will win it. I don't see people passing up on the foundation Sony has laid.

the only thing that will sell 360 next year is the fact that it is a cheaper way to get multiplats like GTA4.
the graphics on 360 will not get better than gears of war. i guarantee it.
ps3 has some truly killer apps next year, and it's potential has not been reached.
yeah i feel like the ps3 gets more beef here, not that the 360 doesnt get its shareAnimal-Mother
nah, as of recent people have been bashing the 360 like crazy for some odd reason
See, you'd THINK so, but sadly the harsh reality is the PS3 is sitting away selling like week old donuts.TemplaerDude

Halo 3 is pretty bad, but ok.
You do realize we stepped outside of the Sixth Generation and Halo really isn't the best shooter out anymore correct?
halo 3 was alright, but far from great. Its the most overrated game of the year.
When I come here I get the feeling the 360 is the best console ever made. I even get the feeling people think its games are better than any past gen.King_of_SorrowWell this is a pretty good generation so far. Some of my experiences have rivaled and surpassed other generations in some ways. SMG (most evolutionary platformer in years), GeoW (in my opinion its the best TPS ever made), Mass Effect (fantastic story-driven experience), Halo 3 (not revolutionary in any way, but its the most in depth console multiplayer I have ever seen and it's a lot of fun), Oblivion (the first real next gen game for me) COD4 (ranking system and unlockables) Bioshock (outstanding graphics, art direction, atmosphere and variety).

So basically you think that MS and Nintendo are just going to sit idly by and watch the PS3 finally blossom? I don't think so. MS is also laying the groundworks for new franchises. One's that are probably going to be much more successful than those Sony has been putting out recently. A good example is GeoW, it was critically acclaimed and it had outstanding sales, and it came out a year before any of Sony's decent exclusives. Also Mass Effect has the chance to be a really good series. And Lair 2? lmao. That is not going to happen. Even Killzone 2 was a small stretch but at least that one had some commercial success so its not too big of surprise. Lair has nothing going for it, I'm sorry. Uncharted would make a good series though. Just because the PS3 might actually have a decent lineup next year does not mean it is all teh sudden going to sweep everyone away, and sell millions to catch up to the competition. But then, what are console sales anyway? It's all about the games.

So then you are betting on the PS3 to win by the very end of the generation. You are putting faith in something that is years down the road? While it struggles the entire way no less? Hurray? :roll: I thought it was supposed to overtake the 360 in 08?

Not not everyone, quite clearly not even a majority.
You sound bitter over console to PC competition. Is there harm in enjoy a 360 and a gaming PC? Why must you despise the fact that the 360 gets to play many great PC games (and visa versa)? Sure you are going to say "well, you might as well play it on the PC" but I'm sorry not everyone has the money or the expertise. It's a cheaper alternative (one that I will gladly pay for) and while it is clearly inferior the market, it still rivals PC gaming. The majority would enjoy a 360 (mostly casuals). The minority (richer hardcore gamers) get to enjoy it on a PC with slightly better graphics. Of course there are a few exceptions. One being Crysis (as its almost worth getting a new PC for). But you can have your souped up version of 360 games, its the gameplay that is the most important thing and if I can save money on gaming, I will.So basically you think that MS and Nintendo are just going to sit idly by and watch the PS3 finally blossom? I don't think so. MS is also laying the groundworks for new franchises.DrinkDuff
Not really no. Microsoft has Halo. That's it.
For everything else, they just bought out the store as much as they could. Microsoft didn't commission Gears or Mass Effect or own the studios that made those games; they just purchased the rights.
Sony, on the other hand, is actually building a first party cluster of franchises. So far it has been hit and miss, but it's is still being constructed--Which is more than what can be said for Microsoft.

Sony, on the other hand, is actually building a first party cluster of franchises. So far it has been hit and miss, but it's is still being constructed--Which is more than what can be said for Microsoft.
Purchasing the rights to franchises and their eventual sequals doesn't count for some reason?
Sure thing buddy.
[QUOTE="Meu2k7"][QUOTE="JiveT"]The 360 is the most hated console because it's the best value on the market right now. Everyone is jealous of HALO3 and the achievement system so they are constantly spewing bile at both. It's really quite remarkable. Everyone should love it. DrinkDuff
Not not everyone, quite clearly not even a majority.
You sound bitter over console to PC competition. Is there harm in enjoy a 360 and a gaming PC? Why must you despise the fact that the 360 gets to play many great PC games (and visa versa)? Sure you are going to say "well, you might as well play it on the PC" but I'm sorry not everyone has the money or the expertise. It's a cheaper alternative (one that I will gladly pay for) and while it is clearly inferior the market, it still rivals PC gaming. The majority would enjoy a 360 (mostly casuals). The minority (richer hardcore gamers) get to enjoy it on a PC with slightly better graphics. Of course there are a few exceptions. One being Crysis (as its almost worth getting a new PC for). But you can have your souped up version of 360 games, its the gameplay that is the most important thing and if I can save money on gaming, I will.360 not consoles, I quite frankly like the Wii .. no strong opinion on the PS3.
And well no, you are not the majority of the console market even.
Developers never "max-out" consoles. That's just idiotic. Don't even bother - fanboys will be fanboys.Erkidu
I personally think they should have given the 6th gen two more years, look at games like FFXII, they were really starting to flesh those consules out until the released this current gen.
