[QUOTE="eclipsed4utoo"]nope, it is selling faster than the 360 did in it's first 4 months.dustin-diamond
but much slower than Wii... I mean who would have thought Sony would be third!?

It's no surprise. The Wii is positioned at young kids, casual gamers, and new gamers. It has a "pick up and play" accessibility to it. And its priced to sell to that market. And the PS3 is selling better than the 360 did in its first four months EVEN WITHOUT LAUNCHING IN EUROPE. I've really been on SOny's side on all these forums, but I will say one thing. I wish that we didn't have to live with this PROMISE of games that will harness the power of the PS3. I wish that there was something NOW. But I guess MS's early launch sort of forced their hand. I think Sony probably could have gotten another year out of the PS2 if they weren't up against the 360.

Here's the Link, AGAIN http://www.vgcharts.org/aconscomps.php?name1=X360&name2=PS3&type=0&align=0 You can't compare 360 sales today to PS3 sales today. It's just not fair. The games library are so different that it skews the numbers. Also Xbox had 1 more X-mas season than the PS3. You have to compare on a LEVEL playing field.

[QUOTE="snyper1982"][QUOTE="ghaleon0721"]Loyalty to Sony? What? Why? What has Sony ever done for you? Next time you're hungry or you can't pay your rent, go ask Sony to return the favor for your "loyalty". Give me a break. You make it sound like you made this huge sacrifice by waiting in line for your PS3. You did it because you wanted to do it. You paid $600. You don't OWE Sony anything. Trust is a different story. I trust that Sony builds a quality product because every Sony product I own has been phenominal. I TRUST that Sony knows what they are doing when it comes to building consoles because they've PROVEN that they have success at it. I TRUST Sony when they say that they built the PS3 for the long term. That is why I bought the PS3. I bought it because I trust Sony's quality, and I believe in their strategy of building a superior machine and selling it a fair price. That belief is only supported by the fact that it is selling faster than the competition and there are games on the horizon that will start to utilize the PS3's advanced capabilities. Across the way, I see the competition selling an inferior machine and then charging me for things like WiFi and online play. I see a future of games that will require the advanced hardware that Sony's competition doesn't have. I can't TRUST their machine to be there for me, playing the greatest games in two to three years from now. In the gaming world, the only LOYALTY you have is to yourself. If you REALLY enjoy games, then you owe it to yourself to make sure you have the hardware that is going to bring you the most satisfying gaming experience for the longest possible time. Whichever company makes that console is irrelevant.

No it is NOT selling faster.... I love how you continue to spew flat out lies. The 360 is selling faster at this point in time.

YOU AGAIN!! What is wrong with you? What don't you get? Xbox 360 sales after 4 months = 1,117,000. PS3 Sales after four months = 1,160,500 That means that Sony sold more consoles in the same amount of time. That means they sold FASTER. Look in your fourth grade physics book and you will see that SPEED = DISTANCE / TIME that means that Sony is selling at a rate of 290,000 consoles per month. In its first four months the Xbox 360 was selling at a rate of 279,000 consoles per month. That means the PS3 is selling at a rate that is 11,000 consoles per month FASTER than the 360. Note those four month periods BOTH go from November to February. Also note that the PS3's figures DO NOT include a european launch.

Other than games that are released SIMULTANEOUSLY, I think they should be reviewed on an individual basis. It bugs the crap out of me that I read PS3 reviews that start comparing the game to the 360 version by the third paragraph. Then the same people writing those reviews and filling them with comparisons will come on these forums and lock your thread because you started a discussion about your favorite console and happen to start comparing it to the competition. It's total hypocrisy, and it's not just GS So Oblivion for the PS3 should be reviewed as if it was the ONLY version available. It should be compared to its peers and contemporaries. Even if it is a port, there is no reason to compare it to a 6-month old game. It should be scored based on what gamers expect NOW.

[QUOTE="ghaleon0721"][QUOTE="GIJames248"][QUOTE="lennygundam14"]hold on, even if the white engine is open source, dont they state that it uses 6 of the 8 cell cores, cause if thats the case, then hoe can it get ported to the 360?GIJames248
well the 360's cores are each general purpose and more complete then the Cell's SPEs so a single core on the Xenon has more power than a SPE on the Cell. In addition the Xenon's three cores are hyperthreaded giving it six virtual cores. The White engine could run on the 360, but if Square Enix is making full use of the Cell then physics or something might be a bit worse on 360.

Sounds like all that techie mumbo jumbo boils down to "Any port of FF13 would be crap" We're not talking about Capcom, Acclaim, Bandai, or any other of those whores who will develop for any system no matter what. We are talking about Square, and while I'm at it, I'll throw Kojima into this category too. These are companies that CARE about quality in their product. They are creating the BEST possible game, that means that they need the BEST possible system. Right now the BEST system is the PS3. I think that a year from now when the game comes out, Sony will have an install base large enough to satisfy Square. They are not going to release a sub-par product (by their standards) to the world just so it can be multi-platform. I think that BEFORE they would go multi-platform, they would release the game with a $70 price tag. All that would mean is that Square has to ignore the profit potential in the Xbox market in order to make a BETTER product and they are asking the consumers to subsidize some of that.

I'm still not convinced a port would be "crap" as you so poetically phrase it. Yes, most ports are compromised in quality because of laziness or lack of concern, but I believe that IF Square Enix ported FF13 to 360 then it would be a quality product. That said since the game involves no mulitplayer then the PS3 version would still be superior just by the lack of disc swapping alone, although I doubt their would be much differences in either version aside from that.

Yes it would be "CRAP". Because it would mean that Square would NOT be putting out the absolute BEST product that they are capable of, they would instead be catering to the lowest common denominator.

Being loyal to a single console severely limits your access to really great ganes, That's gaming on their terms, The way I see it, if I put the cash on the line to buy a system that company needs to be loyal to me.bdhoff
I completely agree, they should be LOYAL to ME. So far, all I've got is some great games, free online, wifi, and blu-ray.

[QUOTE="GARRYTH"]it's over prime. NEVER. the best momment in the movie. chills down the back of the neck lolghaleon0721
Wait, so it's a remake of the old transformers movie? I thought it was going to be something new and original? And while we're talking about best moments in the movie, back up a few frames and check out this one.... "You who are without mercy, now beg for it? I thought you were made of sterner stuff"

Oh and one more Unicron: I have summoned you Megatron: No one summons Megatron! Unicron: Then it pleases me to be the first

[QUOTE="lukasz_erecinsk"]That is a good thing, I love the series (except for FFX!), and I think that the game deserves to be released on all platforms capable to run the game. mmirza23

Are you kidding me, FFX was one of the better ones, better than 8,9 and X-2 which I really hated.

No way, 9 was the best. X was probably second. 9 had the four character party, the abilities system, and one of the most emotionally charged and vivid endings of any game I've ever played.
