games are not blu-ray, only the blu ray movies are so this thread failsnickmat_tycoon


Blu-Ray is the LASER that the console uses to read the games and transfer data, hence the name... Blu...Ray... if the games weren't Blu-ray the ps3 would need a second laser to read games.

it is selling well (more than the original Xbox)IronBass

and that's about the only console that is outselling cause the gamecube 1.6 (oh! excuse me the Wii), the DS, PSP, PS3 and even the PS2 are selling better than the 360. Do you remember the trailer GOW?? Can you say that GOW looks and performed exactly like the trailer?? and let's not forget the occasional crash while playing GOW since sometimes it was too much for the 360.
Yes it has a nice Third-party support, but like I said before the 360 is at its peak and its all downhill from here. It's just a matter of time for the Third party support to realise that they have done all they can on the 360.

[QUOTE="Macalation"] The Unreal 3 is used by most devs.

IronBass

The new engine won't be the savior of the 360, it will be it's demise. GOW 2 trailer prolly wasn't running on a 360 so don't get your hopes up it will look like the trailer

I don't think the price cut will fail, it will succeed... But in a different way, it will force Sony to consider a price cut more and more as Decembers draws near.

Yes it's gonna have a nice holiday season with the price drop and Gears 2, that can't be denied. But honestly, do you see the DVD format going strong one year from now???? Do you think Blue-Ray games will look the way they look like now??? There's very little that can be done to improve the DVD format, and the Blue-Ray is just getting started.

Remember the 64? Of course you do!! Who could forget such a lovable console. All those incredible multiplayer games; Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Turok. This is just the tip of the iceberg, a whole lot of more games could be listed. It had an incredible run, can't deny that.

But in the end it died alone, Nintendo was the only developer still publishing games for the console. Every Third-party developer left like a bat out of hell. The reason? well... It was running on cartridges!!!! A very limited format, once the Nintendo 64 got to its peak, third-party developers started to notice another format that surpassed the cartridge (well... except for the loading time).

And now with the current war we come to the same dilemma; the DVD format is peaking or peaked, very little can be done to extend its life. So it's just a matter of time for the Third-party developers to start leaving Microsoft to join the current format (Blue-Ray). Hollywood has already joined the Blue-Ray (Pixar, Paramount, Columbia, etc). With the current price drop Microsoft has given the Xbox what it takes to survive through 2009 (I wouldn't be amazed of another price drop in 6 to 8 months). ID software has announced that their upcomming game "Rage" WILL LOOK BETTER on the PS3, so this only the first of many, many, many more games that will achieve this...
