1- No more killer combo for 360 , GTA IV / Halo 3 combo is over

2- PS3 outsells 360 in Japan and Europe

3-Not everyone likes Halo

4- Even if the $500PS3 60GB sells out completely before Xmas , Sony will lower the 80GB model price to $500 MARK MY WORDS

5- Bioshock and Mass Effect arent exactly system sellers...

6- Unlike 360 hardcore line up PS3 has Ratchet and Clark , Uncharted , Warhawk and Heavenly Sword

7- Now almost everybody that likes games know the 360 is highly defective .

8-Leipzig and Tokyo Game Show PS3 announcements will be HOT!

May I take a shot at this?

1. How does it help the PS3 that it's possibly best selling game is postponed so the good 360 games coming this year gets an even greater advantage?

2. If that is correc, great, but it will take a lot.

3. Wow, you think? You are making arguments for the PS3 and this is what you come up with? No game in existance is ever liked by everyone.

4. You have no way of knowing this, unless you can provide substancial facts to back up your claims then keep quiet.

5. How do you know that before they are released? Wait thats right, you don't.

6. Okay, that can possibly make it sell better, but there is no way you can know this will effect the PS3 sales.

7. And they also know you get good costumer support along with those defects, this may hurt the sales, but people usually don't consider these things when buying consoles.

8. Okay... So what?

9. It has a 08 release date...

10. Do you really think people who buy PS2's in 2007 are people likely to buy a PS3 within the next few years? You need to graps reality.

9-MGS4 release will be very close to Xmas time so that will help sell PS3s

No... it's coming out in February/ March probably. That's about as far away from Christmas as Halo is.

4- Even if the $500PS3 60GB sells out completely before Xmas , Sony will lower the 80GB model price to $500 MARK MY WORDS

Magic ball, so I ignored that one.

6- Unlike 360 hardcore line up PS3 has Ratchet and Clark , Uncharted , Warhawk and Heavenly Sword.

Opinion =/= reason. I think 360 hardcore lineup is much better than PS3. Doesn't make it a universal reason.

5- Bioshock and Mass Effect arent exactly system sellers...

If they're not system sellers, neither are any games coming out for PS3 this year. Halo 3 is the only system seller coming out this year. PS3 gets it's system seller next year.

No GTAIV this holiday = no reason to own a PS3.Berserker_2

i forgot thats the only game coming out for ps3. :roll: you gotta loosen up the goggles there.

As a child I was never a fanboy I mean I had my fav's for a while but I never hated Nintendo when I loved Sega or my Amiga. When I had a N64 I didnt hate PS1 I eventually embraced it. SOOOO in this respect I cant understand why their are soooo many silly fanboys who pledge their allegiance to 1 console. Especially when they make facts up to side with the 1 they've chosen. I mean the Xbox360 so far this gen has been a great console with a lot more to offer than PS3 (from a neutral) adn Wii. The 3RL problem isnt good but in all I've never had a problem.

But to the point YOU ARE A FANBOY and twist things to suit you.

1- No more killer combo for 360 , GTA IV / Halo 3 combo is over

ITS A SHAME BUT I THINK MANY PEOPLE ARE RELIEVED THAT ITS PUSHED TO 2008. TOO MANY 360 GAMES AT 1 TIME.

2- PS3 outsells 360 in Japan and Europe

ITS ABOUT TIME ESPECIALLY IN EUROPE WHICH HAS BEEN SONY LAND FOR A WHILE. I LIVE IN UK AND THE PS3 HAS HARDLY TAKEN OFF IMO. ESPECIALLY FOR A VERY WELL KNOWN BRAND CONSOLE ON RELEASE.

3-Not everyone likes Halo

YES BUT A FAIR FEW DO.

4- Even if the $500PS3 60GB sells out completely before Xmas , Sony will lower the 80GB model price to $500 MARK MY WORDS

THE WORDS OF A 12 YEAR OLD NO THANK YOU

5- Bioshock and Mass Effect arent exactly system sellers...

NOR ARE WARHAWK, UNCHARTED OR LAIR

6- Unlike 360 hardcore line up PS3 has Ratchet and Clark , Uncharted , Warhawk and Heavenly Sword

I CANT BE BOTHERED TO LIST A LOAD OF 360 GAMES. THERES A FAIR FEW LOOK THEM UP.

7- Now almost everybody that likes games know the 360 is highly defective .

ITS TRUE THAT THIS IS 360'S BIGGEST DRAW BACK. I UNDERSTAND PEOPLES CONCERNS. BUT WITHTHE 3 YEAR WARRANTY IS WORTH THE PLUNGE IMO. IVE YET HAD A PROBLEM.

8-Leipzig and Tokyo Game Show PS3 announcements will be HOT!

I'M SURE THEY WILL BE BUT YOUR POINT IS...? POINTLESS

9-MGS4 release will be very close to Xmas time so that will help sell PS3s

I VERY MUCH DOUBT IT CHAP.

10-PS2 is still outselling the 360 , so PS2 owners that like Sony franchises will likely buy a PS3.

PS2 IS A DAMN FINE CONSOLE. THE PS3 HAS NOT PROVED TO ME AND MANY OTHERS THAT ITS WORTH IT. BLU RAY IS NOT SOMETHING I WANT OR NEED. AND 256MB V-RAM GPU IS NOT WISE NO MATTER HOW POWERFUL THE CPU IS.

Damn fanboys sorry for the cap letters. My points had to stand out amongst a lot of cr*p.

TC this isn't the best time to make a point like this. it'sstill auguest.too much is still up in the air.Right now the 360 is still set to dominate Xmas 07.

To the other posters in this thread don't thinkmicrosoft are gonna walk away from christmas 07 unscathed. the 360 may sell more but it won't sell THAT much more.

Don't forgetpeter moore made up this holiday 07 combo thing.

the ps3 titles for me aren't as strong as mass effect, bioshock and halo 3, but that's just my opinion. I can imagine a lotofpeople being swayed if sony do whip out this rumoured 40 gig, and make the 80gig without theEE $500

Outsells 360 in Japan sure, but over here in Europe i think not, you guys complain about spending $600 on a ps3 imagine spending the equivelant ofover $800.

Top 10...oops...Top 11reasons why the PS3 may outsell the 360 in Xmas time

11. Aliens are going to visit Earth and reverse the laws of economics. Suddenly everyone will rush to spend more to play less.

Ownage approved!!

It seems the TC just wanted to start a flame war

No GTAIV this holiday = no reason to own a PS3.Berserker_2

Why is it so hard for people to understand that the GTA IV delay is more damaging to PS3 than Xbox 360? Xbox at least has a killer app such as Halo 3 to lean back on.

Most of those reasons were crappy.Hot_Potato

Well, he didn't say they were good reasons. But your right they suck. By usual cow standards they were poor, I mean wow.

Not really worth a proper response. Come on now black horseman I have noticed your almost daily attempts to praise the PS3 and bash the X360, you can do better then this.

I suggest taking your time and thinking it through.

[QUOTE="da1on2"]

I dont think 360 will have a huge sales surge when Halo is released

If you want Halo 3 you probably already have a 360

not saying it wont raise sales though

liquidus1snake

you're quote is actually very true...halo 3 won't skyrocket 360 in hardware sales because ppl who like halo already have a 360...man thats so true

so many people on my friends list still play halo 2 on the original xbox, so I'll have to ask both of you, please give us a link that says that people who like Halo already own a 360.....not trying to say that you are wrong, but if both of you can tell us that as its fact, then show us..

1. What????

2. I live in the US, so wh do I care? Although in Europe the 360 is winning from what I hear

3.Not everyone, but most everyone.

4. They will, duh. But it's a matter of when. And I think the Gamecube proved that some times you can fail no matter how low you have the price.

5. But they could be. And I don't see why these games would help the PS3.

6. whis is nothing compared to Halo 3, Blue Dragon, Bioshock, Mass Effect and Too Human

7. And also know that theres a free 3 year warranty

8. So?

9. No it wont. It's not coming till some time in 2008

10. I loved the PS2.... I got a 360. Alot of people I know who liked the PS2 do not like the PS3.

I fail to see how Mass Effect isn't a system seller yet Warhawk is.Hewkii

Don't worry, the PS3 will be a great system someday you should pick up a 360 to kill time with until that day arrives.
