Because more Euro gamers are PS3 fanboys and they hate to see their precious PS3 get owned by Microsoft.XanderZane
Eurogamer, the guys that gave MGS4 an 8, or the guys who consistently give the 360 the egde in every graphics comparison they have ever done? How in god's name are they PS3 fanboys?

[QUOTE="nintendo-4life"]I think it was a given that natal wouldn't be perfect for all genres... but that doesn't mean we can't wait and see.... BTW can NATAL do pointing?XanderZane
Can the Sony motion sensor do Voice and Facial recognition? LOL!!

Who's to say it can't? It's not like the Natal has some special facial recognition component inside of it. It's a camera. If the software interacts with the EyeToy 2 or whatever in the same way, then why can't it incorporate facial recognition? Everyone is acting like this "Natal" is some kind of weird new mysterious piece of hardware... IT'S A CAMERA! I think this Natal thing is going to totally blow up in a lot of people's faces. All this future of gaming talk is eerily reminiscent of 4D graphics and some other ludicrous Sony claims from the dark days. I have a feeling everyone predicting that Natal will revolutionize gaming as we know it is going to be severely owned. Enough with the "Minority Report" comparisons too, you are playing right into their hands. The potential is there for Natal to be great, I'm just saying don't be surprised if it ends up being a laughingstock or not coming out for years.

Linked. What's with Eurogamer being so sensationalist lately?

[QUOTE="bingbaocao"]Sony's motion sensor is what businessmen call a "generic hoax". It's a hoax designed to fool and stray attention away from another legit piece of hardware, so that the consumer would be confused enough to create a stalemate for both manufacturers. Examples would be InFAMOUS and Prototype or Rock Band and Wii Music It's almost guarentee'd that sony's motion sensor won't be released, because ms already knows they won't profit from it. It's too late in the PS3's cycle, and the 360 already is manufacturing their motion control. It's false advertising, and it kinda worked, cause everyone is going crazy over sony's motion sensing. Microsoft and Nintendo won 2010 and e3 imo

Not funny.

They are absolutely nothing alike, calling them slasher doesn't make them comparable. Tough choice nonetheless. GoW will be the better SP, Diablo will have killer online that I will be playing for years. Thats how I look at. I really don't know if I could choose.

If its a monthly subscription I'll probably pass. I would rather spend my MMO money on SW:TOR or WoW. If they do it like Guild Wars and keep it instanced, but free, I am down. Still, big news for fans of FFXI, I know there were a lot of diehards out there.

[QUOTE="Menalque2"]

[QUOTE="AlexSays"] Who cares about Sony...? I thought we were talking about Nintendo?cheapness1

Oh yeah Nintendo, the company that has been successful for five consecutive generations and whose current home system is the fastest selling in history. Yeah, those guys had better watch themselves. :roll:

Exactly Nintendo now has more Mas Market appeal than Sony or Microsoft hence us "hardcore gamers" that waste our time arguing on system wars don't really matter as much anymore.

We'll matter again next gen when Nintendo fails to find another winning formula like the Wii. They will likely be left in the dust in terms of technology, like they have been for three generations (prorietary disc formats, cartridges, horrible online infrastructure, lack of HDD). and without that edge that the motion control gave them, I don't think they will have it easy. They are still miles behind MS and even Sony when it comes to firmware.. I also don't think their current crop of newfound fans are necessarily going to become ardent fanboys and froth at the mouth over the impending release of their next console. If Nintendo tries to again compete on the same level as MS and Sony they will probably lose. They found their niche, they should be the cheap console next gen too. For some reason I just don't see casuals being real brand loyalists. Nintendo needs to pander to their "hardcore" fanbase, their guaranteed sales. This gen might be smooth, but it won't always be so easy. Reggie Fils-Aime has the easiest job in the world right now. Watch him get canned next gen when they realize he is clueless and the Wii was just selling itself.

[QUOTE="Michael324"]Sony had NO reason to get arrogant in the first place. Casuals will buy ANYTHING (PSone, PS2, PS3, etc)

There are over 200 million Playstations out there. If you're going to be arrogant, that's as good a reason as any. Even with the Wii's current success I don't think Nintendo touches Sony for units sold, since the N64/PS1 era. How exactly did PS2 pander to the casuals like the Wii again? I seem to remember hundreds of games worth playing last gen that didn't involve peripheral-based gimmickry or catchy gestural support.

[QUOTE="Tony-Baxter"]

Nintendo should be careful cause Sony was #1 just last gen.

nmaharg
Difference is Nintendo has tasted last place, they know what not to do. Sony never learned that lesson.

Hmm. I never thought of losing as something you need to learn how to do.

[QUOTE="Ego-testicle"]Is it time for a Who Won E3 poll? Hehe... :PGundamGuy0
E3 starts tomorrow... maybe it's time for a who had the best presser?

I was joking, a poll like that would merely be "Who is a fan of which company?" And yes, you're right, there is still a lot more to come.
