@hman123456 @WolfGrey @GamerMani : Yup I noticed that but still some American gamers or Xbox 360 owners need to stop behaving as if they define the world's gaming market. These stats are only for America and since I prefer the 360 personally, I am kind of happy for the system.
I own both consoles and I MUST admit, the Xbox 360 performs better in multi platform games compared to the PS3. I have personally verified dozens of games on both platforms (not exclusives) and the winner is the 360. The PS3 is disappointing from that angle. Having said that, this news hardly surprises me. The Xbox 360 is an American product through and through. It's only obvious the US has seen more sales of the 360. Also, if you are a person who plays a lot online, then the 360 is the better option than the PS3. So of course the 360 will fare better in the US. Having said that, these are stats for a SINGLE country. The 360 does not do well in some parts of Europe and much of Asia. The PS3 rules roost in those regions. Like I said, I own both systems and my personal choice is the Xbox 360. Oh btw, I am not an American.
Yes I know I am sitting on gamespot.com BUT for once all the whining staff of Gamespot need to shut up and stop venting over fans' reactions to the ME 3 endings. Bioware know they have screwed up the endings big time hence they are prepared to do something which no other game studio have ever done: 'listen' to the fans. Sure we have had f**ked up endings to many games BUT those games weren't RPGs or magnificent narratives like Mass Effect. Mass Effect deserves a better conclusion which Bioware had failed to deliver. No body cares about a happy ending. It's all about perspective and direction. Wasn't ME 3 about building a future for the galaxy ? if so then the present endings do anything but that.
Actually I don't agree with many comments here regarding how time constraints hurt Bioware's decision to end the game the way they did. I simply don't buy into that BS. They had all the time in the world to create ME 3 and nobody asked them to release the game soon or late or whatever time they had in mind. We as fans do not care what goes on between EA and Bioware. That's not our problem. Our problem is buying the game whenever it comes out and providing our feedback which I am sure Bioware welcomes. The ending is badly written for sure. If Bioware chooses to alter that then sure. If they don't then so be it. I am willing to look at the ending from an analytical perspective and let the rest be a part of my inner imagination as to how things turn up. It a deja vu for most pieces of art be it movies, book/novels etc. Sometimes the creator of that piece of work lets the audience imagine how a certain chain of events unfold. Weren't all these works of art a part of the creator's imagination in the first place ??
Most gamers are a bunch of hypocrites. They would over hype a particular game to monumental proportions and then bring it down. That was done with Skyrim and now those people who played it for over 3-4 months ruin it for those who haven't even bought it yet by claiming it's 'broken' and 'boring'. I am sure ME3 will be treated the same way by these ilk. This time next month they will be asking for a new game.. perhaps even a new Bioware RPG. My advise is to take each game as it comes and steering clear if you don't like it. Don't ruin it for others.
