The Wii will take 1st place this year. Perhaps even before Halo 3 comes out. But how long will they stay in first place should be their concern now since they're so certain they will be there soon.

Here's a potential scenario: What if Microsoft is able to drop their price to $300( due to 65nm chips being implemented) before GTA IV comes out? What do you think a casual gamer would do: Buy a Wii along with Metroid Prime 3 and SSBB or a 360 Premium with GTA IV for 10 bucks more? GTA is one of the biggest franchises out there and if someone only has to pay 50 bucks more to buy a 360 than a Wii so they can play it, I think they would definitely take into consideration purchasing the 360.

That's why Reggie was trying his best to try and convince Take Two and Rockstar to bring a GTA game to the Wii. No GTA on the Wii may hurt it in the future. Remember what GTA III did for the PS2?

It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Looking at the Best Buy ad, the PS3 section is non-existent. There is also a two page ad for HD-DVD. No Blu-Ray. The store is almost the same way, with the PS3 section devoted to a teeny-tiny space in a corner. I know the PS3 has only been out for about 7 months, but want gives? Even the games in the stores themselves are not "real". Someone printed the cover, threw it into a video game case, slapped a $60 price tag on it, and then they make you go request it at the counter. BB does not do this with any other game system. It's been long enough! BB should be pushing and advirtising the heck out of the PS3. Thoughts?rosssca

Maybe it's because both the 360 and Wii have some new games out this week. 360 has both Forza 2 and ShadowRun out this week, while Mario Party 8 and Mortal Kombat Armageddon are coming out for the Wii. I bet the week NGS or any big new PS3 game comes out, they'll have the PS3 advertised along with it.

heavenly sword comes out the end of this month, that looks pretty good toos0njas0n

No way, isn't Heavenly Sword slated for a Q3/ September release?

Now what was it Kojima said about all these port rumors?Jamh83

"But like I said, MGS4 is aimed for the movie theatre, it's aimed for the PS3, so the game's scenario and graphics need this theatre-type hardware. It's when a producer has a game that can work on the 'DVD level' that a game will go multiplatform", he says. Sorry kids. Your "OMGMGS4360" banners will have to come out another day.

Since we've opened up this can of worms, I may as well get his thoughts on it. Why, I ask, do you think this rumour simply refuses to go away? "Because 360 owners want it on 360, obviously", he quips.Kotaku

Why are Hideo Kojima's words constantly ignored? You want to know something about MGS4, you get it straight for the man in charge, not some Swedish website. I will only believe the whole MGS4 to 360 rumors when they are no longer rumors and confirmed by Kojima and Konami. I personally don't see that happening considering what he has stated previously.

[QUOTE="agentfred"][QUOTE="MC-Leader-Elite"][QUOTE="WalterPaladines"][QUOTE="MC-Leader-Elite"]

Haze = Timed Exclusive

MGS4 = Coming to 360 in 2008, Konami said so.

FF13 = Coming to 360 as well. Square is working on 360 games.

SOCOM always flops.

Killzone 2 = I'm not even going to beat the dead horse...oh wait, its KILLZONE! LAWL

Heavenly Sword = Flop

God of War 3 = Rehash button masher

Rachet = Again, rehash.

Lair = Looks like crap, use REAL pics.

Ninja Gaiden = Enjoy a 4 year old port.

What are you smoking???? I smell a lemming./xbot is Microsoft paying you in Jelly beans or gold stars? you are way off on your game comments, also where does it say MGS4 will come for the 360?

KOJIMA has "re-confirmed"MGS4 will be a "PS3 exclusive" he has stated that this game is not possible on other consoles.

So Kojima runs Konami? Right, wow...talk about a desperate fanboy.

They said so on the podcast that NOTHING would change if this goes to 360.

BS on the "only ps3 can do it".

No, kojima runs Kojima Productions, you know, the people who make mgs. Kojima, the developer has been qouted many times as saying the 360 is incapable of the octocam.

Since when does Ryan Payton= Hideo Kojima? I know he's an associate producer at Kojima Productions and hosts the podcast. But he's not Hideo Kojima, the man to listen to when it comes to anything about MGS 4. The fact Kojima has basically said Blu-Ray storage space is important for MGS4, MGS4 is aimed for the PS3 and the fact, as Agent Fred pointed out, he's said octocamo would only work on the PS3. So none of this matters now since Ryan Payton said it?

And if I wanted to I could run down a list of 360 games for this year and call them rehashes, but how do I know this if I haven't played them? And I wouldn't anyway because both systems look to have some great games due to come out this year.

That quote is from an article that is almost a year old. From May 31st 2006

http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/710/710761p1.html

Things might've changed since then but maybe they haven't. But the original post made it seem the comments were made more recently. Even though it would seem if they were going to announce a 360 version of FFXIII they would've done it at the Square Enix party.

I have been playing WOW for a while and lost interest in console gaming. Now that Forza 2 is coming out and some other great games for the 360 in June, I started paying more attention to console games again. Has PS3 gotten a UNIVERSAL AAA game that wasn't a port from the 360 yet? (dont say oblivion)

Because that would be really sad if 5 months has gone by with no AAA games for a $600 console. I guess that's why it's dead LAST in total sales behind the 360 and Wii.

It took the 360 almost a full year after launch to get it's first universal exclusive AAA game in Gears of War. So enough with this sad if the PS3 has no AAA exclusive games. If the PS3 doesn't have an universal exclusive AAA by around the end of the November, then you could make a valid point. But IMO the PS3 will probably get at least one before then if all the games scheduled for this year come out as planned.

uh no , pdz was a AAA whether you like it or not.

The TC said universal AAA, not just GameSpot scores. That's why I left PDZ out.

[QUOTE="GamesRadar"]Unfortunately, this intriguing clash of muscle and swing has only been created as an internal project at Epic, so don't expect it be appearing on a console near you any time soon. Shame.

Gears of War Movie and now a Gears of War golf game.Is there any other way they can ruin a franchise? Chicago_Nut

Sounds like they're just seeing what else they can do with the Unreal Engine 3.

Yet Team Ninja can get Ninja Gaiden Sigma to run at 60FPS in 1080p on the PS3.

It's not that the PS3 can't, but it seems it's harder for developers to get the most out of the PS3 than it is for the 360.
