you change the subject a long tim ago. you can't even spell" speech". They use other middleware as well! Umbra3 (one example of a middleware} help for some the visual of this gen and next gen. Go learn to develop a game adn stop making up wild assumptions and stop saying shit that i didn't say.

[QUOTE="Jakandsigz"][QUOTE="strawhatlupi"][QUOTE="Jakandsigz"] You are stupid. What estiamtes am I using? You don't know what I am referring to say it, don't assume crap. The 78.2 came out of MS's mouth, official numbers. The 70 million is the last we got out of Sony's mouth. What estimates are there? What the hell are you talking about? You are confusing the issue and are a complete idiot. Do i need to show multiple links for the 70 million and the 78.2 million being said to come out their mouths officially? The problem is you are confused, you think i am using the estimated Sony number in that thread that gave offical MS numbers, I did not, you are too stupid to realize that, so instead of asking what I was talking about you made up something that was not there.

unless you can prove that vgchartz sale estimates for PS3 and 360 are unreliable... you dismissing their counters as irrelevant is just like a swamp gas... it fouls the air for a moment then it will eventually dessipate

I need to prove Vgcharts is unreliable? Bye.

lol your dumb i said their sale estimates... if you can prove their sale estimates is phony by comparing it with another relevant data then you can dismiss their counters as phony

Again, I need to prove VG charts is unreliable? the ones that moves the PS3 above the 360 when they had it at 77 million when the 360 was announced by MS announaced 78.2 million and then all of a sudden the PS3 has slightly more in the same range? The one who had Madden 25 at 2 million in its first week when EA just stated it sold one in its first week? Also lol, you are dumb, Vgcharts is Vgcharts. I have no idea why you said "I said their sales estimates" what else could we be talking about? Lol.

vgchartz uses a tool to measures sales aggregates that may or may not be similar to the companies methods.... like most manufacturers estimate their sales based on the numbers of unit shipped. this is not equal to the number of units being sold in retailers. unit in circulation can be RESOLD... gamestop and otherused game retailers do this. 1 million shipped units in 1 yrs can be sell 2 million times on the same year. did vgchartz uses th"shipped" numbers or the "sold" number?

They have. See what the difference is, primarily, is the art style. PS fans love the art style of their games. And I get it. Also I'm sure a lot of PS3 owners don't play Xbox 360 games. So they have a skewed one sided perceptive. All in all the games looked comparable.

More marketing BS, just like "teh cloud"

As ive said before, MS does not know how to handle competition. Windows = borderline monopoly. They could call everyone turds for using windows and market share wouldnt change. As for the console world, diff story. BS marketing isnt the be all end all (though you would think it is with the way Apple has been growing.)

he's telling the truth because we have not seen one game running on a real ps4 yall bring up that same thing over and over but not one guy on this site works for Sony or even played ps4 hell even a dev kit lol so shut the hell up until Sony shows games running on a real ps4 and bask in the light the x1 is getting.

Proof? No games on 360 look as good.

Granted, I don't think it's impossible for any of those games to be done on 360. But the fact that they were never matched means either the PS3 was a slightly more capable system, or that the "graphical programmers" working in-house on the PS3 did a better job with the resources they were given (as far as learning the in's and outs of the cell and the PS3 memory). 

I don't see that changing next gen. Plus with the PS4 being easier to program for, and more powerful, the final product from ALL developers should be more consistent in performance than the PS3 was (no more sloppy ports).

Well.................MS I would say has a sizeable foothold in the PC market.

However, on the leading platform, MS hasnt made a killer looking PC game.

SO, for them to claim that is......well........reaching.

Especially since their two TOP developers from last Gen were PC developers.

C'mon now... the only thing that made them "only possible on the PS3" is the Blu-Ray disc space. The PS3 is barely more powerful than the 360. Which btw, is still a bigger gap than PS4 and XB1.

I actually think the Gears of War series is the best looking series on current gen. Its more opinion on my part, I just really love the way it looks. I prefer it to Uncharted and TLOU.

They both have fantactic programmers, developers, and artisits. MSFT is top-nothc, but I give the edge to Sony just for being able to hang and occasionally outshine MSFT.

Well, MS programmers are a mixed bag. They give us the awesome .Net framework and DirectX, but then also gave us Windows ME, Windows VISTA, Windows 8, and the bloatware that is MS Office.

But, I think they know more about operating systems than Sony.

StormyJoe
Huh? M$ hires some of the best programmers in the industry, bar none. Take some time and learn about their interview process or talk to some of their developers and find evidence otherwise. Also take some time and read the book "Code Complete" which is an excellent guide to best coding practices. When you do, you will learn that the industry average for bugs found in software is about 10-15 bugs per 1000 lines of code. In released M$ products it is about 3 bugs per 1000 lines. Also, many of the things you listed are issues you personally have with products and not a problem with the CODING of them. You can blame some dislikes about programs on marketing decisions or interface design, but these things have nothing to do with programming.

They both have fantactic programmers, developers, and artisits. MSFT is top-nothc, but I give the edge to Sony just for being able to hang and occasionally outshine MSFT.

Sony delivered an awful API to developers with the PS3. It was said to be clumsy and non intuitive. I wouldn't rate software development as one of their strong points. However, they are very strong in hardware integration and hardware design. Every company has its strengths. The companies just have different ones. The key is being able to improve your product so that your weakness doesn't become a liability. M$ probably spent lots of time ensuring the X1 is more reliable. And Sony spent lots of time ensuring the PS4 was easier to code against.

[QUOTE="campzor"]Ye which explains why killzone looks better than any of the xbone launch games and why driveclub, which is made by a tier 2 sony developer looks as good if not better than forza.ramonnl

:lol:

He's right killzone:sf the best looking next gen launch game, that's a well known fact. Maybe not for you...
No comment on driveclub after seeing the other video :cry:

A fact, huh? Interesting, since I posted a link in here earlier that was from Time Magazine, where they said Ryse was the best looking game...

Well, MS programmers are a mixed bag. They give us the awesome .Net framework and DirectX, but then also gave us Windows ME, Windows VISTA, Windows 8, and the bloatware that is MS Office.

But, I think they know more about operating systems than Sony.

Look, don't even get me started on some of MS's stupid bugs. My problem? Please. What about SSRS not rendering in FireFox and Chrome correctly, and MS's official stance is "Use IE"? What about the EDMX not recognizing return parameters from stored procedures? Or how log-shipped servers freeze at random? How about the GUI designer in .Net still - after 7 years of it being on the market - is rendered useless if you use master pages? How about how SQL Server never releases system resources?

Look, I like MS - especially .Net and Direct X... but putting them on the pedestal you are is a bit of a stretch.

Microsoft Microsoft Director of Product Planning Albert Penello explained why there's no way the company is willing to give the competition a huge performance advantage. "Im not dismissing raw performance. Im stating as I have stated from the beginning that the performance delta between the two platforms is not as great as the raw numbers lead the average consumer to believe," "There are things about our system architecture not fully understood, and there are things about theirs as well, that bring the two systems into balance." "People DO understand that Microsoft has some of the smartest graphics programmers IN THE WORLD. We CREATED DirectX, the standard APIs that everyone programs against. So while people laude Sony for their [hardware] skills, do you really think we dont know how to build a system optimized for maximizing graphics for programmers? Seriously? There is no way were giving up a 30%+ advantage to Sony. And ANYONE who has seen both systems running could say there are great looking games on both systems. If there was really huge performance difference it would be obvious." Penello then brought up similar instances where Sony and fans of the Playstation proclaimed superior performance with the PS2 and PS3 before concluding that, "in the end, games on our system looked the same or better."Jakandsigz

Microsoft is getting a bit sassy all of a sudden, and they usually don't say much to anyone. i find it funny now they are going up on people faces now all of a sudden. But anyway, interesting stealth stab at the PS2 and PS3. Also, they basically said that the PS2 and PS3 proved they are a fluke (in his eyes) and that Sony is mostly only good at physical hardware but not software output optimization because of much better programmers.

 

Does anyone else see the irony in this statement?  When the 360 launched (much earlier), it really came with a better and MOST crucial component; the 48 ALU pipeline GPU.  Sony started to talk about the "unseen" power of "The Cell."  This just sounds like MS damage control.  While MS is definitely a software company, you can't just magically make games better looking as as whole.  The power difference is bigger than the 360 and PS3 this time around AND both systems are more easily programmable.  Sony has the edge and there is no "magic power" that makes it a better system.  MS may be able to make some graphically superior exclusives depending on how much money they put into them; much like how Sony did with some of their IP exclusives.
