You should get the new 250 GB 360 slim and never look back.

RTUUMM

Why would he get an outdated console such as the PS3?

The ***NEW*** 360 slim was released just last month and is a lot better. Everyone knows this.

I never cared. We are gamers all we should care about are the games.

ps2 won last gen with better games

ps1 the gen before that

snes the gen before that

nes the gen before that

better games = winner

N64 blew the PS1 out of the water when it came to games, and while the PS2 had a lot of games I felt most of then were lackluster and I forgot about them as soon as I put them down. So maybe you should use "I" instead of "we" because I don't see things the way you do. Hell there's people out there who thought the Xbox was the best system last gen. Dreamcast > PS2 N64 > PS1

This question is for those that do care about the NPD numbers and have always kept up with them every month, ofcourse if you never cared about NPD to begin with this question wouldnt apply to you.

I was one of those that really keeps up with the NPD numbers monthly and look forward to them every month. But lately im just losing interest in them, i mean i just miss good games, it just doesnt seem like it matters anymore. Infact i even forgot about the recent NPD numbers that just came out until i came on system wars.

It seems to me that none of the games that score AAAA actually deserve it. So I was trying to think of any games all time that I think deserve a perfect 10.

This is what I came up with.


Mike Tyson's Punch Out

Baseball Stars

Super Mario Bros 3

The Legend of Zelda

Zelda: The Adventures of Link

The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past

Mario 64

Ocarina of Time

Final Fantasy 3(US)

Phantasy Star 2

Grand Theft Auto 3

Halo Combat Evolved

Knights of the Old Republic

Street Fighter 2

Metal Gear Solid


THIS GEN

The closest to AAAA that I have experienced this gen is the following games.

Oblivion

Red Dead Redemption
Bioshock

Having said that, I don't think any game this gen quite makes it to AAAA status. I haven't play SMG2 yet. I suspect that may be the only one but I won't know for sure until I try it myself.

When Microsoft buys a software company to add exclusive software support,EVERYONE HERE CRIES, THE DEVIL'S ALIVE!!!

How could they? They are an evil company that must be stopped!!! They are killing gaming with their greedy antics!!! Stop them now before it's too late!!!

Ok, I guess they are evil right? Because buying up software companies is pure evil, right? Ok fine, if that's the way you feel about it.

My problem is, when then do you criticize MS for INADEQUATE FIRST PARTY SUPPORT?

On the other hand, Sony buys up companies and everyone praises them for their brilliance. Wow, Sony is a smart company adding to their first party. MS can't compete with them because they have invested so heavily in first party games. Sony could purchase Activision and this forum would go crazy with fanboys claiming RIP Microsoft!!!

MS pays for exclusive DLC and makes deals to ensure all major third party games are on the 360 on day one. This gen so many fanboys have cried about this as well. They are greedy, why do they need to throw their money around like this?

Then E3 rolls around and we find out this is EXACTLY what Sony is now doing as well. So now the attitude changes to, this is how the industry is now, kudos to Sony.

Microsoft actually has the money to buy EA and Activision and put and end to Sony. Sony would be DEAD OVERNIGHT but MS wants to play nice instead. If Sony had the money, they would buy EA and Activision tomorrow to get rid of MS and try to get rid of Nintendo. Just how they paid Warner Bros to go exclusive and killed HD-DVD.

Why is Sony considered such a great company that can do no wrong even though they lie all day at press conferences? They are arrogant as hell but it's not just arrogance, it's also blatant lies. Everyone remembers 4D and 1080p @ 120 fps? That was a LIE just in case anyone here is confused.

Meanwhile MS is the EVIL COMPANY and must not be trusted. Even though they have ADVANCED GAMING LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF WHERE SONY AS #1 HAD IT!!!

Microsoft gave us ONLINE GAMING AS STANDARD!!! They gave us wireless gaming, achievements, gamercards, Xbox live Arcade and indie games, free demos for all games including live arcade and indie games, movies, netflix, Hulu, tv shows, music, facebook, twitter, music videos, real interaction with online community, soon ESPN channel, soon controllerless gaming with kinect and the list goes on.

Sony copied Nintendo to make their PS1. The PS2 was just a more powerful PS1. Can anyone imagine what gaming would be like today without Microsoft? The PS3 would be exactly like the PS2. I mean the same graphics as they have today but just turn on the box and play a game. Limited online gaming, no movies, no trophies, no arcade games, no netflix, NOTHING. Just a box you turn on and play games. Just like the PS2 was and the PS1 was the same way. Sony can't even come up with a different controller design since the PS1.

I believe Microsoft deserves praise for the great contributions they have given gaming. None of us would ever want to go back to the way it was when Sony was boss. Why all the bias and hate towards Microsoft? Why aren't their MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS RESPECTED BY US HARDCORE GAMERS???

Well if it doubles its sales for the next three years, and sells twenty million tomorrow night, it might only be like ten million short. :P

There's just no way.

The 360 will be lucky to outsell the Wii any month, even with a new model.

And it would have to outsell the Wii by a large margin, for a really long time, before it ever came close.

I don't mean overtaking the Wii worldwide. I am talking about in only the United States. This is obviously very difficult but the slim has given the 360 a HUGE BOOST meanwhile I see the Wii slowing down dramatically.

If you look at Wii sales this year vs last year, it's down by BIG numbers. Compare that to the 360 slim which we'll find out in a week with the NPD results but it is looking like BIG increase for 360.

Also, if Kinect becomes a hit, this will means ASTRONOMICAL SALES!!!

I really don't think anyone knows anything. Sure the slim model will help 360 sales. When you look at May you can see the Wii doubled the 360 sales. So who knows if the 360 is going to come out on top in June. HarlockJC

This is true and you make a very good point. However, I have been following amazon sales charts and the 360 is normally outsold by both the Wii and PS3 easily there.

Since the slim was released it has remained the top selling console in Amazon and it's not even in stock. This is why I believe the demand is huge combined with the price drops for all SKUs, will propel the 360 ahead of the Wii in June.

Everyone knows by now that 360 will outsell the Wii in June due to the new slim model. But how long will the steam last? I'm thinking with the price drops on the existing SKUs and the new slim, this could be a few months of 360 dominance.

Then comes the holiday shopping season and kinect. You know there will be a slim with kinect for $299 bundle and that will sell like hot cakes. With all this momentum, the 360 may just take command and hold first place this entire year.

Kinect looks like it will be HUGE with the casuals. This could mean that in the US, 360 will be the new #1 console. But will it eventually catch the Wii in US sales?
