[QUOTE="StrongDeadlift"]So according to MS' reports, the 360 is at 50.8 million and Sony is at 47.9. The gap between 360 and PS3 is officially at 1.9 million. (I'm on my iPhone browser so I'm not linking) As of September quarterly reports, the gap was 2.9 million. The gap is officially at 1.9 million now. That means that the PS3 outsold 360 by 1 million in the last 3 months (all while consistently costing $100 more mind you). This is EXACTLY as I predicted. I give Sony the next 2 quarters to close the gap. Not one day longer. I am calling it now. The April-June quarter, Microsoft will be in third place. bigboss5akDude your math is way off read my edit.

[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"]Owned? Sony is STILL the owned party in this situation, sorry bud and its only going to get worse. PSN is ruined *looks at sig* I love how almost every one of the people saying "teh PSN is dead, Sony need to kill teh PS3" are people who don't even OWN PS3s. :roll: It's almost like they lemmings are more concerned with the welfare of our gaming experience than WE are :lol:It took 4 years for hackers to hack the PS3, yet Sony owned the hackers in 4 weeks? :lol: thats pretty incredible.

NOOOOOOOO.
The original is an outstanding masterpiece, and the sequel is to this day one of the most fully featured and quality multiplayer experiences available on PS3. Both of them have outstanding online components with truly unique and fun to use weapons (can Crysis 1-2 claim that? :P ). I don't even need to mention the original's campaign, which is nothing short of epic. The Resistance games are some of the most consistant FPS of the current generation.
Not to mention they don't sell out to the perks and killstreaks crap made popular by COD. Resistance is one of the few shooters (along with Halo) to have enough integrity to not sell out. Same can't be said for Crysis 2, which the devs apparently didn't have enough faith in their own abilities to try and come up with some unique ideas, so they went and did what everyone else is doing. Yuck...

Never played the MP, that's why i'm talking about the SP, which happens to suck, a lot. We're obviously not going to agree on that.
Why are you bringing Crysis into this? Literally has nothing to do with Resistence. But, yeh, as a matter of fact, Crysis' MP is unique. Especially the Power Struggle mode. People like to compare it to Battlefield, but Power Struggle is based off of an economy system, where you could strategically push the enemy to a point where you control his actions and income. It was much different in how it handled the capture and hold gameplay. Also if you had played Crysis 2 MP you'd realize the perks and killstreaks are minor gameplay elements that don't dramatically effect the game. They don't define the game. The Nanosuit, energy management gameplay and traversal mechanics set it apart from other MP FPS games. It's nothing like Call of Duty, and we've only seen 2 out of 6 game modes.
Hmmm... not exactly sure why I brought up Crysis. I guess we always argued about that in the past so it's just an old habit. But um, where was I... oh yeah, you wrong! But yeah, this will have to be another agree to disagree type deal. Just you wait though. Resistance 3 is going to change the way we look at FPS games forever :shock:
To be honest I'm expecting the leap in quality to be > the leap from Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2. More like Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 3 TBH. Especially for the extra year in development. They said in the gameinformer interview that the game was done from start to finish (back in September) and that this entire year was just tweaking and polishing. They said that the last 6 months of development are going to be used specifically for polishing up the games graphics. I LOVE what they are doing with the atmosphere and art direction. The whole "you are constantly being watched/followed, you are not alone" feeling.

[QUOTE="StrongDeadlift"][QUOTE="sts106mat"] PS3's awesomeness it seems is rather down to the fact that its a blu-ray player rather than a games console though. href="http://uk.gamespot.com/ps3/puzzle/playstationhome/news.html?sid=6263134"http://uk.gamespot.com/ps3/puzzle/playstationhome/news.html?sid=6263134maybe with cows bashing kinect for being casual and saying the increase in sales is down to casuals.. how much more casual are Ps3's being used to watch movies? do you counter this argument? i can also back up the argument with this link ... "http://www.mcvuk.com/news/42260/Half-of-360-gamers-play-online"http://www.mcvuk.com/news/42260/Half-of-360-gamers-play-onlinedespite the fact that cows love to remind us that PSN is free . ho ho hosts106matthat's interesting because according to Sony & MS financial reports, PS3 software outstripped 360 software in fiscal 2009 by 12.5 million: http://www.psuni.com/ps3-software-sales-outstrip-360s-ps3-attach-rate-up-to-8-1-3807. ;) it has also been outselling 360 in software so far in 2010 as well ;) according to that link, the attach rates for the PS3 was 8.1 to 360's 8.8 as of last may. When sony's numbers come out, expect that gap to shrink even more if nit dissappear. Also, as for your second link, about 360 having half of it's users online, that's a nice user study you got there ;). funny you mention that because Sony just announced literally YESTERDAY that over 80% of PS3s are connected to the Internet. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-01-27-over-80-percent-of-ps3s-connected-to-Internet Gee, I don't know who to believe. An Internet survey or Sony and Microsofts official statements :roll: . gee i guess i was owned by the playstation university website. ho hum back to the kitchen then.,,, Did you even read the link? The Information is quoted from Sony and Microsofts official quarterly reports which are linked to on the website :lol: are you saying Sony and Microsofts official numbers are lies? Brb, Sony and Microsofts fiscal reports are false (which are illegal to lie on), but an Internet survey done with 700 people is legit :roll: you made a rediculous claim, used a rediculous source, and were proven wrong.
