[QUOTE="finalstar2007"]

They should :cool:.. never try to downplay the leader of all FPSs :cool:.. beyond the call? more like below the call :P i kid

finalstar2007

Leader in sales, sure. But I wouldn't call CoD anything more than that. EA chose to tango with the wrong demographic, simple as that.

Not just sales! its the leader in being the most fun FPS online ever, most players ever online everyday and every minute, most addicting and so on with sales is just a bonus. You cant convince me personally and say there are other good FPSs, of course their good but average at best, i played lots of FPSs form halo, killzone, counter strike to resisitance, BC, BF and others. all are garbage compared to Call of Duty and people around the world also agree. but as i always say if you cant do well on CoD and prefer the other generic FPSs out there then dont buy it :P.

Excuse me while i go play some MW3, havent touched it for 2 days lol. ACR weapon is ftw!

Yeah, I play lots of FPS too. They're better than Call of Duty.

As far as generic goes, Call of Duty is the most generic, so I'm not sure where you're going with that statement. You do know what generic means, right?

As far as doing well in Call of Duty, it's easy with all the aim assist and perks. It requires minimal skill from the player.

Now you can think its fun, you can join the masses and play it, but let's be real- game is the same since 2005. It stopped being the best a long time ago. It sells the most and so devs try to copy it. Thankfully, a few, like Bungie, Epic, Platinum,Valve and other devs have made excellent games by steering away from Call of Duty. Others have tried to copy it, like High Voltage, DICE, Insomniac, etc.

Let's just say, the reason why only one shooter scored over 9.0 on GameSpot this year, is the one shooter that hasn't copied Call of Duty. That's saying something about being the best.

I played more and i think Call of Duty beats every garbage FPS out there.

apparently you know what generic means so yeah it seems like i dont know what it means totally :|.. when i said every other generic shooter out there i actually mean that other FPS are generic yes! but hey you know better than me it seems :P

Games dont need good graphics to be fun, look at BF3 for example, the game looks very good but its far from fun to play ( at least according to the beta ), more like camperfield 3. nobody move in that game as for call of duty it may look a bit old but its worth that $60 since it had unlimited replay value, the online is where it shines and MW3 improved lots over MW2. sadly all the devs you mentioned havent come close to making a game as addicting as Call of Duty. Since when review scores matter? :o Call of Duty >> all FPSs :cool:.. haters need to deal with it :oops:

Back to MW3 again :P

3DS is dead... oh wait.SaltyMeatballs

Wow. I just saw a 3DS at Walmart for US$169. I know what I'm getting my kid (one for me too) this Christmas.

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"]3DS is dead... oh wait.jun_aka_pekto

Wow. I just saw a 3DS at Walmart for US$169. I know what I'm getting my kid (one for me too) this Christmas.

At Best Buy, on Black Friday, they'll have a Zelda (black) 3DS bundle, and a Super Mario Land (red) 3DS bundle for $179 each, so you might wait to get your hands on those since you'll save $20 off the game price.

That is if you want to risk your life for some 3DS systems :P

[QUOTE="loosingENDS"]

The truth is that 360 is 11.000.000 systems ahead in US and considering i have no relation to Japan, US and Europe are the only places i care about

ChubbyGuy40

The truth is that the PS3 is only 2 million behind.

Close yourself off from the world all you like. PS3 caught up and is set to overtake the 360 next year in sales.

Edit: Those are outstanding numbers for the 360! I honestly thought it was on it's last leg before the slim dropped but wow!

Good God.. You guys say this every freaking year and it never comes to past.. Let it go! The PS3 will most likely end up in 3rd place overall once this gen is finished. And considering BOTH system's will most likely sell through 70+ million WHO THE FUNK CARES!!! They're both very successful platforms (especially given their price points) as the PS2/Xbox/GC were all hovering around $99 at this point in their lifecycle.

Edit: Those are outstanding numbers for the 360! I honestly thought it was on it's last leg before the slim dropped but wow!

OhSnapitz

First off, who is this "you guys?" I hope you aren't trying to associate me with cows.

Secondly, the PS3 has been outselling it every year. Next year will tie or surpass the 360. Also if you really need to asks about who cares about such a minor thing, then you don't belong in System Wars.

Also saolin took awhile to finally post that crappy list of his.

MS already won this battle with Sony, by the time ps3 passes 360 it won't even matter. MS has gained a tremendous amount of market share; next gen is round 3.

Next gen is technically round eight. Also the start of a new gen doesn't end the old gen.

That is great, i dont want a new xbox when 360 does Witcher 2 looking stunning

I want a xbox 720 that will run Withcer 3 maxed

and that would take 2013-2014 hardware

Next year they have far more big name games, almost every single of their top games is revisted and some of the best 3rd party developers are in too

.

Witcher 2

Skyrim exclusive DLC Expansions

Mass Effect 3 Kinect version

Halo 4

new Alan Wake

new Fable

Ryse from Crytek

Draco from Panzer Dragoon team

Bloodforge from Climax

So the PS3 just had a price drop and MS didn't drop the price for about 3 years now , how the hell is this even possible ?

PS3 actually had two major price drops, one when the slim was released and one now

xbox has no drop at all all that time

Nintendo fanboys will eat-up whatever garbage Nintendo release, really no surprise there.

Must be Kinect on a roll then !

Caseytappy

Once a critical mass was built there was little in the way of stopping it. People buy what their friends have. People want to play with their friends online.

This coupled with that this gen has been far more focused on the shooter genre, and the heavy association that has with the XBOX brand, with the flagship Halo franchise.

And now they're coupling Kinect and marketing to drive headway into the market the Wii established.

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]Why do you feel a need to stalk him? shinrabanshou

I read the NPD thread on Neogaf, and happened to see his dumb list posted.

He's a bandodger, a liar and a general nuisance, for whom I've no sympathy. He should be banned again, and I've no idea why he hasn't been already.

If you think that's harsh or unjustified, excuse me while I proceed to not care at all.

Dang.... Sony is really fighting hard for 2nd place....

but hey, I guess they are used to it by now. :P

Perhaps... however when 2 of 3 put their new machines on shelves... then it is over. So if Ninty and MS both release a system next year (not likely) then this gen is officially over.

Though it could be argued that by the release of ONE next gen console that harkens a new generation... but what is the fun of comparing apples to oranges, right? OH WAIT.... forgot where I was for a moment.....

They must thank god they have Japan and people there are not touching US systems, otherwise Lost Odyssey alone would have probably won the war for 360

If you are a bandodger the mods will deal with you. If not then you can just ignore him. Generally speaking though if you are infact new. Most forums just copy the data from neogaf because they get it first. Why bother reformatting it?

and so many rage over the fact he likes the 360. Heck Giancar wants to follow him over to another forum.

Can't win with such a crappy game, a JRPG at that, that no one has heard of. If it wasn't for the year head start, the 360 would've been in last place years ago. Better late than never I suppose.

The kids of america continue to have no taste and buy 360s, the ps3 is such a better system when it comes to gaming, sad. Lucky the rest of the world has better taste :)Totalgym9000

Yet, Halo and Gears are my top shooters, Witcher 2, Dark SOuls and Fable my top RPGs, Alan Wake my top advanture, Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia my top JRPGs etc

These are all on 360

I have played FPS since Wolf3D, I don't need a lecture on FPS. And you clearly don't know what generic means if everything else is generic but Call of Duty isn't. Don't insult me just because your knowledge of FPS started with CoD4. You have no clue how to use the term generic properly, and you have not played more shooters than me. We both know this. The kids are into CoD. The grown-ups have seen better times for shooters.
