This man makes $51,369 an hour, offers no product or service, and you pay his taxes.

His company has more revenue than CocaCola, Microsoft, and Disney combined. Who is he? Henry Kravis of KKR. What does his company do?

His company exploits tax loopholes while making hostile takeovers of other corporations on borrowed money. His hostile takeovers result in thousands of layoffs, job outsourcing, and removal of retirment and pension plans.

Do you tell your friends about your gamespot posting habits? Don't take everything I say seriously. I'm just pointing out that I'm not quite the fanboy you thought I was ^_^.

okay so just because one game has better loading times that means its a better game in general?

SaintsRowSam

Only time will tell, but this combined with the it being PS3's lead platform gives it a good chance.

Now it's my turn to ask a question. I have taken a look at your gamercard, and you've hardly played anything on 360. not that gamerscore matters, but I have almost 8x the gamerscore that you have. I'm clearly not a fanboy, but I'm wonder what your stake is in the console war and why do you so viehemently support Microsoft?

My gamercard: http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&GamerTag=hunterxxhunter

because unlike you i have to work for a living. i have over 10 games so thats enough for me. i dont get my money for mommy or daddy. i actually have to work. and i support microsoft because they havent done me any wrong. and also im not just a microsoft supporter, i also support the ps3, but i enjoy my 360 more.

I'm a Software Engineer, but nice try at a cheap shot. Now my turn for a cheap shot: Perhaps if you weren't supporting Microsoft on the Gamespot forums you would have more time to play videogames =P. In all seriousness, if you want to play a game online, we could play Halo 3 or Gears. Just send me an invite.

You're talking sortware sales. I'm talking about console sales based on software quality.

PS3 has better 2008 games than 360. but a Console buyer is still going to factor in the ability to play Halo 3, Mass Effect and Gears of war to make a console decision whether they actually buy those games or not.

I'm just saying, that its ignorant to only look at 2008.

Blue-Sky
You're probably right, and that could turn out the be quite the predicament for Microsoft. They will likely cut the price of the 360 next year to compete with the PS3, lose money on every console sold, and then their fanbase purchases used games-- old copies of Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect. I wonder if Microsoft will lose money on their 360... All this is a moot point anyway, because Microsoft has plenty of money xD.

[QUOTE="Why_Me-"][QUOTE="SaintsRowSam"]

yes it is a word, they disrumored it because they had a side by side gameplay comparison of ps3 DMC4 and 360 DMC4, and it was crystal clear the same.

SaintsRowSam

I was not aware that DMC4 was a finished product. Also, a single game is hardly substantial evidence when judging the capabilities of a console.

I've been programming computers for most of my life, and unsurprisingly, I can vouch that the PS3 is the most capable console of the bunch. How is this surprising? After all, the PS3 came out a year after the 360.

As a final note, I've heard that the PS3 demo and 360 demo of DMC4 have different loading times. The PS3 game caches to the hard drive, and load times are less than a second, while the 360 game can sometimes have loading times of up to 15 seconds.

theirs where you started mentioning loading times.

... Where did I say that the load times will sell games? I was simply saying that the PS3 version will likely be the best version of the game. After all, it was the lead development platform.

:lol: you;re kidding me right? DMC4 is so 99% of a finnished product, it ships out in the beggining of february. most likely ppl already have an early copy. and yeah right "hmm geez i wonder which DMC4 has faster loading times, im definetly going to get the one with faster loading times" oh yeah right DMC4 ps3 is going to sell WAY more just because of loading times!!!

SaintsRowSam

You're changing the argument. I was only saying that the PS3 will likely have the best version because of shorted loading times. It was also the lead development platform.

dude get it through you're head that people are not going to buy a multiplat game for one system just because it has shorter loading times, people don't care for that kind of stuff.

Once again, where did I say that? You lose the argument that the 360 and PS3 version of the game are the same, and then you immediately go onto your next argument.

LBP is trash and you know it. You are only hyping LBP for 2 reasons.

1. Its exclusive, you want to make lemmings jealous of that

2. You have very small range of good games in 08, so you are FORCED to hype garbage because there is nothing else

I do not want to argue with people who just make stuff up for their console and try to make games look good when they are shocking.

Sorry, but PS3 has failed in 2006 and 2007, it will also fail in 2008 :lol:

justforlotr2004

I have all systems and Im excited for LBP so you are dead wrong.

That's another thing that isn't usually mentioned in the console debate. I also have all three consoles. I actually own 2 360's-- my girlfriend and I play games online together xD. If I thought 360 had the better 2008 lineup, I would say so. If I thought 360 was the better hardware, I would vouch for it. The fact of the matter is, neither of those appear to be the case.

[QUOTE="Why_Me-"]

IGN did a story of what to expect from PS3 in 2008, and not surprisingly, it lists many, many killer-apps.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/846/846509p1.html

2008 is going to be the year where the PS3 really starts to take off. 360 fans, don't let your egos get the best of you-- 360 is going to have a hard time beating PS3 this year.

PS: Jeff Gerstmann is apparently going to be on IGN's podcast this week.

Blue-Sky

Apparently,

2008 console buyers don't buy 2005, 2006 and 2007 games :|

As surprising as this may sound, most games have a large falloff after their initial release. Only large franchises such as Super Smash Brothers and Halo have had substantial sales after their release. In the videogame business, software sales are everything. That's why I would still consider the 360 to be ahead of the Wii.
