Exclusives count, fact. However in this case, it matters very little!

I agree but while people keep paying for gold MS will continue.

You wrote quite a bit for me just to say that you have absolutly no idea what you're talking about.

UC3 = best looking console game.

Wasdie

No he's essentially trying to say art is subjective and that its not everyone's opinion that UC3 is the best looking game. UC3 = best looking game is not fact, its opinion.

TC run, the cows are-a-comin!!

No all seriousness, yes, creating small environements means you have less objects onscreen so the subsequent objects can benefit from a higher triangle count and use higher resolution textures. Many of the so called 'graphics kings' use this, it even applies to lighting, less, light sources, shadow maps and light maps.

lol Sony couldn't afford to pay the amount required for exclusive rights, especially in the current climate.

extortion has nothing to do with call of duty elite being a ''ripoff' its not even close to tongue and cheek, thats like saying mcdonalds sold me a bigmac, and the secret sauce doesnt taste right, so they must be racist towards me and my red shirt....doesnt make sense does it?

Lol everyone owned!!!

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]Hmm... I feel like a challenge, let's see if I can do it... PS3 has sold 55.5 million after 20 quarters, having the highest base buy-in price of any console on the market the entire time. 360 sold 44.5 million after 20 quarters, with 4 quarters of being the ONLY "next-gen" console on the market, and having either the cheapest or second cheapest base buy-in price. Bravo Sony, indeed. You'd think an extra year plus a lower price wouldhave given 360 a commanding lead, like the PS2's last gen... Instead, it's down to 2 million, with PS3 gaining by over 2 million a year for the past few years. Actually, that didn't take much creativity or imagination at all.

Hmm you're listing the disadvantages Sony had to over come and the advantages MS had, but thats not the full story, Sony launched their console off the back of a huge brand name in Playstation, think about that for a second, it was always going to be very tough for a similar console to compete with the Playstation brand. So yeah Xbox had a 4Q headstart...PS3 had the 100m existing PS2 owners!

Yeah you would be stupid to argue against Sony doing a great job in turning things around, what I'm also saying is that MS also did a great job in competing with the clear market leader in first place. No one wants to recognise that fact!

[QUOTE="HoolaHoopMan"]Poor Sony, going from the highest selling console of all time to last place. Takes a lot of creativity and imagination to try and spin that into a positive light. Bravo sir, bravo. ianuilliam

I think they should have a FBI wanted system in addition to the normal stars. If you murder someone and there are witnesses it makes your FBI rating go up, the more witnesses, evidence such as an undisposed body etc makes you rating go up until a warrent is issued for your arrest. Then you get a 1 star rating that wont go away or perhaps something less like if you go too close to a police officer they will recognise you. If you do get arrested your rating goes back down to zero.

I would like to see a little more of a harsher punishment for being arrested, making you more careful in commiting crimes.

The majority of games I buy I already have an idea of what to expect, I tend to pay little attention to a difference of say between 8.5 to a 9.5, for me thats usually down to the reviewer's taste.

For games I know nothing about or very little about, a review score atleast tells me whether its worth investigating further or not so in that sense they can be quite helpful.
