[QUOTE="furomaster_99"]On a serious note, I think MS has switched focus to a Wii/iPod audience and isn't as concerned about bringing many new games.

If they don't announce more games, then I'm giving my 360 to my brother and buy a PS3.:P Seriously, that would be lame and proof that 2009 is 360's worst year.

Your gaming revolves around exclusives right, you play them regardless if you even like them. I don't see any exclusives on either side that I really would even purchase, I'm more than happy with the mass amount of good multiplats. I haven't once not had multiple games to play nor multiple games I wanted to play, so no matter how anyone may put it there is plenty of gaming to be done.

Dude, I was joking, I'll still keep 360 for exclusives and multiplats and PS3 only for exclusives, I don't trust PS3 multiplats.

Wow, I sure hit a nerve with people in this thread.

I guess that's what happens when you continually prove them wrong though, so desperate to defend that failure of a console you call the Xbox 360 :lol:

Did you actually prove anybody wrong? It looks to me like you tried to pass your fanboy viewpoint off as fact.

Dude, is Home even that succesful? You said 6.5 million are on it, but how many use/like it a lot, I want to know...

And I love how you call the 360 a failure when it has one year that's a letdown so far(2009) but by the fall, there will be some games to play.

I don't get it, whats with this "lets give people the option to watch TV via there console on there TV!!!" lol. This clearly seems like a feature just to add to the features list with no real merit, i mean surely if you wanted to watch sky programs you would use sky (it doesn't cost that much and it now comes with sky+ free) why in the hell would you pay to have it on your 360 instead!, it's clearly aimed at those with less sence than money.

[QUOTE="furomaster_99"]

[QUOTE="IronBass"] 1. I'm sure a lot of gamers care about those games. Most of them (like Halo 3, Bioshock, CoD4, and, more recent Fable II and Gears 2) are still among the best games this gen. If you don't care about them and only play games one month old, it's perfectly fine. But we are talking in very general terms. 2. Since neither you nor me have a time machine, let's leave the speculation for later.Fizzman

Lems are still talking about Halo,Gears, and Fable :lol:

umm i hate to break it to you, but cows were talking about MGSIV being the 2nd coming of christ for about 2 years straight, yet GEOW2 came out 8months ago and you lol at that? i love fanyboy logic.

I think lemmings talk more about MGS4 than cows.

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="bethwo"]Of course. Microsoft think they can compensate for their lack of games this year by offering TV shows? A move clearly aimed at the casual filth.bethwo
1. Lack of exclusives this year =/= lack of games. It's not like the backlog of the multiplats disapear. 2. E3 is one week. How do you know that MS "is trying to compensate" the lack of exclusives with it, and not just offering an additional service?

1. That old crap? Like anybody cares about any of that anymore. 2. Because it's Microsoft, they will just be all "WE'VE SOLD MORE THAN SONY, OH AND NOW WE HAVE TV SHOWS, AND WE'VE SOLD MORE THAN SONY, ERRR PRICE DROP? BRILLIANT IDEA. BTW WE SOLD MORE THAN SONY! OH AND HERES A PORT OF A PS3 EXCLUSIVE EVERYBODY HAS ALREADY BOUGHT, AND REMEMBER, MORE THAN SONY!"

How were you allowed to get to level 17 selling this garbage?

Xbox is so casual, first avatars and now TV shows? I suppose that's all they can do when they have no games.

That cheesy comeback doesn't make his point any less clear. MS havent had any exclusives for 6 months, that doesnt mean the games are done forever, it doesnt mean they have no games, and it doesnt mean they dont have som eof the top games available this generation still. And if MGS4 ends up on 360, sony will be on the downfall. It's likely just from the fact that they will make more money on 360 than they did on ps3, and most developers go multiplat after timed exclusives, its the trend for this generation. If you can't see that, then you need to open your eyes a bit.

This is just anotehr small dropping in microsoft's plan for world domination. You can't do it all at once. Every little thing counts.

No games, you mean 2009? If you mean overall throughout the years, then that's hilarious considering that I'm playing it a lot nowadays. And why are you complaining about avatars when PS3 had that failure known as Home?

Failure? I guess you failed to notice that 6.5M people are using Home, and that after like a month Sony had made 2M from purchases made by users in Home. The only failure here is your argument.

really, cos 20 million people use the avatars on xbox 360, you say avatars are a failure on 360, but then you say home is great, way to contradict yourself, they are the same bloody thing,, oh and the 360 will still have more exclusive titles than the ps3 after this year anyway, even if they only release the 3 we have heard about already, the only thing thats a failure round here is cows that slag off 360 for getting sky but hyping up there own vidzone, you realise having sky means sky movies, kinda gets around sonys little spiteful move of not allowing sony films on xbox 360, cos i'll be watching loads of sony films on my 360
