Hasn't the PS3's sales been down when compared to last years at this time sales, wouldn't that suggest its momentum is going down?

Yes, which is what I said. He was talking about 1st party games though. The PS3 definitely has the momentum right now as Microsoft hasn't really announced much yet. Things could easily change after the E3 of course.

@ Obamanian When I said "PS3 is having a better year overall than 360" I meant when it comes to anticipated games, Games like WKC, GoWIII, GT5, Infamous, KZ2, Heavy Rain, Demon's Souls are/were more anticipated than 360 titles like Halo ODST, DIVINITY (on PC too) or Alan Wake(also on PC), KUF is also shared with PC(not so sure). That is for this year but for 08 it might be different since both got great exclusives and we can't really say that one of them is better than the other since it is a matter of preference.

And here is the problem, you just assume that those games are the most anticipated

But of those my most anticipated is Demon Soul along with the avalance of 360 games like WRPG's, JRPG's, adventures, staretgy epic games etc and then the rest of those PS3 games like GOW3, Heavy Rain etc

It is all about preference

Now if you mean the most overhyped games, yes, traditionally every single PS3 exlcusive is hyped as the stop of all gaming, but that does not mean much, LBP, MGS4, KZ2 were all mediocre experiences for me, so that "momentum" means nothing much in the real world, outside hyped people with only a PS3 that is

"every single PS3 exclusive is hyped as the stop of all gaming" that is quite an exaggeration I'd say, we never hype all games to be AAA or AAAA, so this argument is wrong. What can I do if you don't like games like MGS, KZ or GoW, nothing. So just play whatever you like and I'll so do the same :) , next please!

I like GOW3, it is just not as importantto me as to most PS3 only people, that is all

And i generally hate shooters like Gears, KZ etc, so it is not that strange

The whole point is that both have their own unique momentum in games, depending on what genres each of us likes, and of course having both is the best choice

BTW know of any epic medieval anime ? I spotted one called Claymore from your link, any more ?

Also are the sequels to Ghost in the cell worth it ? I have only wacthed the first

[QUOTE="abuabed"]So, Obamanian, I checked your profiles, one more problem and I'll be 95% convinced that you have a PS3, you said once that you rent short games and beat them in a single day, neither KZ2 nor R2 is beaten in your sig, what does that mean? you didn't tell the truth in that previous post or what? On-Topic: PS3 has more software momentum than both 360 and Wiiobamanian

Well, i finished KZ2, i was fighting the last guy that was tedious and left it there

I left MGS4 in act3 half, i have not resumed it yet (i have that one bought)

Uncharted is finished, and restarted but could nto play more, so i got the very first trophy only (i played it whole before trophies were patched in, also bought)

As for Resisatnce 2, i do not even remember where ileft it

So, i do rent and play most of those game, but if they are boring and tedious sometimes i leave them before the final end and return them

Your trophies will still show for what you did complete on your PSN.

Yes, games have their own momentum on consoles but we only happened to disagree which game derives more momentum on which console. "Claymore" is very good, "Fate Stay Night" is also cool, also try "Sword of The Stranger". I have watched very few episodes of Ghost in the shell so I'm not sure about this one. I watched Kenshin the OVA and also "Berserk" (the latter is 18+) which are pretty good animes too. All of them are medieval type btw as you requested.

score wise, however, the PS3 exclusives have more or less been living up to their hype.

[QUOTE="Meowmixxvi"]

ps3 = better games

360 = better sales

...my prediction for this year

obamanian

But the games thing, depends on what kind of games you like

In RPG's/adventures/startegy gamesi mainly like, 360 = better games by miles

so regardless of the situation, sales always determine what console will be on top. because saying a console "A" has better games than console "B" is only an opinion... which means it should be excluded out of the argument, going by your statement that is. therefore 360 would have a higher momentum because of the upcoming halo expansion pack. not because its a great game but because sales.

Trophies will not show up for me because most of my time has been spent on games like Oblivion where there are none awarded for the game.
