The killzone 2 pre alpha screens smoke gears 2(which looks like Gears 1, with no improvements at all), and the multiplats of 08 all look better on the PS3, despite being harder to develop for(games like Burnout, GTA 4, DMC4, Turok, Lost:VD), this further shows that the 360 is now bottlenecked. People. you have experienced the high point of the xbox 360 in 07, and its not going to improve at all now and the PS3 just needs a few big hitter to blow it out of the market, its already being dropped by retailers now.

It's far from dead. And I'm pretty sure Turok was better on 360. And why do you even own a 360 if you're so convinced it's dead?

If you seriously think that the 360 is dead then the Ps3 must have been dead for months. The xbox 360 is beating the ps3 by 5 million units. Killzone isnt going to smoke Gow2, Gow2 will beat it 2 to 1.

I am sick of these stupid cow posts saying the 360 is bad if there console is doing the worst

I can see its important to you that the 360 dies and the PS3 succeeds.

It's dead to him probably because Metal Gear Solid 4 came out and it automatically killed it. The PoS3 is far from surpassing the excellent library of the Xbox 360, and Metal Gear Solid 4 is the only game on the PoS3 that is really interesting to me.

Aren't you the one clutching at straws?

How do you explain that the 360 has sold more in Jan - May 08 than in Jan - May 07 in both America and Europe. In fact, significantly more and proportionately the increase has been greater in Europe.

It may be selling less than the PS3, but it is selling more than last year. Hardly a sign of death.

You will have to do better at making things up.

if it weren't for the 360, the PS3 would still cost over $500. If it weren't for 360, we wouldn't see any GEOW or mass effect or anything raising the graphical-bar so to speak. Do we remember what we saw of MGS4 when it was announced? It's come along way since then. So, yes, your post fails in more ways than one.

360 is not dead. But now it's relying solely on it's past right now: the installed base, because it's hardware sales are lagging behind both competitors right now (in fact, since '07), and also it's released games library.

You know burnout needed a patch to display in 1080p, where as the 360 version did not. So it looks better, but in lower resolution? i've played both... I'll keep my 360 version.

actually it isn't its been pretty consistent at 7 million, because now that people have got enough money for the other console, eveyrthing has been selling pretty much the same every where having their ups and down every other month. like some poeple, they have already bought one console they will buy the other I.e 360 woners buying the ps3 and wii. the ps3 owners buying 360 and wii, and wii owners buying wii fit.

You know what??? Enjoy MGS for the great game that it is! That said . I think that it being only one game and all the excessive posts about it or the 360 being "doomed" are starting to wear thin dont ya think?

It's far from dead man. I do see it "clutching at straws" if all this "Avatar", "Lips", and "Newton" controller are real. If you havent heard, avatars are apparently MS's Mii's. Lips is MS's singstar. And Newton is the Wiimote. It shows they're changing their strategy alot.

Don't listen to this guy, he is just trolling in every thread.

And no, just because MGS4 came out does not mean 360 is dieing.

All you talked about was graphics..

I like to play my games, not look at them. Killzone 2 is not a definite hit considering the majority of people did not like it. Graphics alone do not make a game great. As for Gears of War 2 looking like the original, I honestly don't care because I will still enjoy it regardless.

LBP will get a good review but poor sales belongs on the Wii

Killzone 2 will die because of resistance 2 and resistance 2 will die because of GoW2

The PS3 FINALLY gets a game worth talking about and now the cows have suddenly got the stones to talk smack. :lol: News flash cow!!! The PS3 is still behind the 360 in sales. The 360 still has a FAR better attach ratio for games and developers are focusing on the 360 more seeing how they can develope for the 360 and PC in tandum cutting back on developement costs. Saying the 360 is "clutching at straws" just proves how ignorant you are to the facts.

One game doesn't make a system worth owning. Having an incredible library covering all genres means something to the public and true gamers.
