is the 360 doomed? how long before they call it quits

Every single time a game scores AAAE on any system we get these threads. When sonething outsells another we get threads. When a game goes multiplat we get these threads.

Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are not going to go away anytime soon. No system will die anytime soon either.

As gamers just be happy they're in it for the long room. Why hate other people for enjoying the same things as you. Its a pastime not a war

[QUOTE="tktomo01"]I actually look forward to Versus more than the actual 13, which BTW went multiplat to the poorly selling 360 because of Square's stupidity. Don't they KNOW that it will just backfire on them because no one buys 360s or its games anymore?tktomo01

It's funny because we barely have any info on Versus. But it's exclusive and that's all that matters.

How many more nails can we put in it's coffin?

Aljosa23

Length of coffin * width of coffin * height
volume of nail
= total nails

(then) total nails - current nails
= left over nails

Simple math really.

Just kidding, bud. :P

It's funny because the 360 and PS3 have magic coffins that keep filling up with nails.

That's the power of Next Gen!!!!

talk about a broken record :roll: and people wonder why there are less 360 owners on SW. The fact most of the 360s big games are releasing at the end of this year means by then this place will be completely unbearable.

[QUOTE="tktomo01"][QUOTE="Aljosa23"]Yeah, you keep thinking that.

The 360's entering it's twilight years, and the PS3's just now hitting it's zeneath. Come next year or 2011 people are going to be talking about the Wii 2, the PS 4 and the 720 or what ever they're going to call Generation 8. But who really cares who does what, buy the console and games you want and just enjoy them.

I gotta defend the game until my death!

The 360 is no more or less doomed than the PS3.

Seriously guys, take some time off from SW and look at the real world for a change. You might be surprised to find that no one really cares about the exclusive war we have going on here.

Since when did it become impossible to play older games? Not everyone plays/buys every "good" new game that comes out. Many people out there are still playing "old" games such as COD WAW, Fable II, Braid, Castle Crashers, Gears 2, etc. I wouldn't call the PS3's recent AAA games exceptional either, and I own the console.

Today I was at Target picking up some cleaning supplies, and, as part of my usual cheap gamer ritual, I walked by their gaming aisles to check out the clearance deals. While I didn't find many deals, I did notice something a bit concerning. The gaming section consists of five aisles - clearance, Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, and PC. Each aisle has four cases - in the Sony aisle, the PS3 is usually given two of these cases for games, systems, etc -

-

Yet this Target had decided to replace one of the cases usually filled with games, and instead filled it with Blu-Ray movies. That doesn't say much for how the games were moving at this one particular Target. Does that say much for every store, for the PS3 on the whole, etc? Probably not - but it's a bit odd to be calling the 360 "doomed" when the 360 is the primary target for most software. The Wii and 360 move *tons* of software, the PS3 not so much.

-

Now if the PS3was picking up in software sales, what GAMERS should be saying is "good, more software is selling, gaming is doing better". Instead we see fanboys calling the 360 "doomed". Why? Isn't it a good thing for ALL systems when more games and software come out? How is the PS3 clawing out of the drain going to harm the 360?

I just hope that everything doesnt go motion controlled.

Wait until E3 to make any conclusions on the 360, but as it stands, I see the 360 hitting 3rd place easily since there's nothing exclusive on the horizon expect Alan Wake and Halo 3 ODST.

Uh, Halo Wars was hyped A-AA. No one hyped it AAA. The PS3 has 5 AAAE and 1 AAAAE games in 3 years. I hardly call that machine gun worthy :| On top of the fact that it is selling like garbage while MS isn't I would say that they won't be calling it quits anytime soon.

I said it was not worth the machine gun comparison the person I quoted was talking about. I never said that it wasn't good :|

Your username does not invoke a sense of trust, regarding this lame topic.

I also happen to disagree that the 360 is going anywhere.

I remember Lems saying the PS3 was doomed, and look what happened...

they have been riding games from 2005 for 4 years now, thats almost half the expected life cycle for ps3, they have not many upcoming prospects, and on top of this, the ps3 is dishing out AAA calibur exclusives like a machine gun. E3 will come and go and microsoft wont have much to show in it, and their biggest hit of the year went as a 6.5 flop after being hyped AAA because of the name. the only option would be to try to sell a new system (which would leave ppl very unhappy, especially the lemmings) or to just go back to making windows. im guessing about 5 months after E3 we will hear the dreamcast-like news?PlaystationGrad

Wait til E3, Microsoft surely has some aces up their sleeve and they still sell more 360s than PS3s in the USA, don't forget that. In the faint possibility that there are dreamcast-like news in the current gen it will be Sony stopping to produce PS3s, but its highly unlikely.

Do we really need to go through this every time the PS3 get a good game? IronBass

Its such a rare ocassion though. We have to celebrate.(yeah I know, low blow, I'm not serious though)

Okay, from this I get...

"THE PS3 HAS HAD A BIT OF AN ADVANTAGE FOR THE PAST MONTH OR TWO! THAT MEANS THE 360 IS DEAD!".

...Didn't the PS3 have a disadvantage for years...? And plus I don't see any of my gamer friends with 360s(most of them do, several still have Wiis and PS2s and WANT to get 360s, and one has a PS3) switching to PS3s...XD

Silly post. Even sillier that it's working. The 360 has the install base to hold sway over the NA game industry for several years to come. When I see developers switch en masse to the PS3 as the lead console, start programming to its fullest potential, and THEN porting over a less appealing version to the 360, then Microsoft will start looking to the future. But in an age where Multiplats make up the bulk of both libraries and they are almost without exception designed for the 360's capabilities, there is hardly any reason to ditch a profitable console now. Besides, the 3rd party developers have made it clear they want this hardware gen to last for longer than previous ones just so they can recoup their investment in the current technology. Even IF Microsoft wanted to push the next gen on us, they'd have a bugger of a time getting the developers to support the move.santoron

LMAO. This is too funny!:lol:

If anything, it's Sony that may go bankrupt, but then again, it's not likely.

[QUOTE="nmaharg"]You understand that most of your post is false right? If the 360 is selling better than the PS3 and is going under what exactly is going on with the PS3? I'm not really a console fan, but didn't the PS3 have a slow year also. Seems it didn't hurt them, why would it hurt MS?PlaystationGrad

Also, that doesn't change the constant "PS3 is doomed" threads, that, up until just under a month ago, persisted almost daily.jonnyt61

Not really. You still see them now, actually. No where near the amount that we were seeing probably a year or two ago, but there was usually one or so a day, until like I say, a month or so ago.jonnyt61

PS3 is doomed, a game from 2007 looks better than everything on teh ps3 lololololol
