[QUOTE="super_mario_128"]Having just over 1 million sales after 3 months of release doesn't help thoughThrice_III

IF you were in a race and let the other runner have a 10 mile head start, then started running the first couple miles slightly faster than they started, but they were currently still running faster than you, you would never catch up.

[QUOTE="Felouz"]360 had an AAA at launch. If you don't wanna count PDZ, then try COD2.

Wii also has AAA. Wario(GS) or Zelda(GR).


So far, no AAA for the PS3, I think.
Uptown

so lets get this straight....For COD2 you use GR as its basis for AAA.  For Zelda you use GR. and For Wario you use GS. Lol.  Wishy Washy to the max.  Who allows such logic on this board?

No.  He said that for people who won't accept PD0 as AAA even though Gamespot says it is, then COD2 should by any other criteria.

PS3 madden costed 3 times more to make or are u just pulling numbers out ur butt?

Bullet_Holes

Yes, but the PS3 and 360 version are sharing a huge chunk of the development cost, I'm assuming.

My oh my... how systemwars is beginning to change. Nintendo is number 1 and Sony is number 3, and the Wii is crushing the 360 in Japan and now in NA lol

dustin-diamond

Techincally Microsoft is number 1 in the current Next Gen department.  I'm sure the Wii will catch up, in terms of systems sold anyway.  Third parties need to change their attitudes for the Wii to win in game sales.

The sales numbers in todays news prove that the 360 will end up like the Dreamcast

So the PS3 is going to do even worst?  The newest gap shows that even after the PS3 release, the gap is widening is the 360's favor.

HMV is charging people £100 just to pre order a PS3 60gb unit.

Thats like over $150.

What a rip off.

I'm assuming that money goes towards the system.  If you put any large item on hold at a store, they expect a deposit.

[QUOTE="cakeorrdeath"]The negative buzz around Sony is just too huge at the moment.console_fanboy

Time Magazine and Aol both told all of the "noobs" to not buy a PS3 yet.

[QUOTE="Zandeus"][QUOTE="shungokustasu"][QUOTE="nnavidson"][QUOTE="dubvisions"]

Why do 360 owners hold the quantity of games in their hands like gold?? Don't they know that will change? That 360 has been out for a year longer than PS3? Don't they know this is a normal start for a console with new technologies to develope for?

Why hold on to the fact that 360 has more games when that really won't matter in six months? The 360 games released between 360's release and PS3's will be replaced and/or obsolete within the year. What then?

shungokustasu

If last years 360 games are obsolete this year, why are PS3 owners so excited to get them this year?

Oblivion

Rainbow Six Vegas

Fear

Splinter Cell

Saints Row

..... so which of those titles are you getting??

It's not a grammar or spelling issue that he's correcting.  He's asking the writer to clarify the meaning, since his or her words completely contradict the assumed intention of the post.

[QUOTE="Danm_999"]If console wars have taught us anything, it's that games libraries are the trump card. 360s is already great compared to the paltry offerings from the PS3. And 2007 only looks to widen the gap, with 360 bringing out it's big guns, whereas the PS3 looks like it's big hitters (FF13, MGS4) may be 2008 titles. So what is going to draw these 20 year olds (who usually have low incomes) to the most expensive console, with the least software?dubvisions

Here's the other card the 360 fanboys love using, the price.  Which is really pretty funny because when you get both systems even on peripherals and features, the 360 is just about as much as the PS3.  Anyway.....

Twenty somethings may be broke, I know I usually am, but most will do whatever they can to get the electronics or toys they want.  If someone can save $00, they can save $600.  Don't tell me they can't.

If you're talking to a gamer that wants the best HD gaming and media experience, there's no other direction to look than the PS3.  Full HD with potential for 1080p, wants those games are made.  An HDMI port for the complete digital experince.  And a blu-ray player that not only give you killer quality movies but will also work to make games better.

That's what will draw them.  That's what has drawn them in PS2-record-breaking style!

You can save $00 by not paying anything, getting evicted, and dying on the streets.  You can't save $600 that way.

If you mean that someone can save $400, they can save $600, that's not quite it.  After paying rent, heating, car insurance, ect. I could only justify spending about $300.  $400 was $100 more than what I wanted to spend but I finally caved.  $600 is double what I was willing to spend.  I'll be waiting for a serious price drop for the next year or two.

[QUOTE="nnavidson"].......Also, the amount of games has a huge impact when you go into a store.  When someone goes into Gamespot, Walmart, Circuit City, Best Buy, Toys R' Us and see 5 shelves of 360 games and 1 shelf of PS3 games, the easy assumption is that there's going to be more interesting games on the 5 shelves.  Not everyone reads reviews, although if they did, they'd probably still want the 360 games.....dubvisions

Are you kidding?  This type of buyer has mommy and daddy with them.  They will probably pick up the Wii but if not, yeah the 360 will look good.  But good riddance.  360 can have all of the teeny-boppers.

Real gamers, and I'm not even talking about the guys on these message boards, will know what they're looking for.  They'll know each system's potential and what is occuring on the game quantities.  They will know what power each system possesses and how that power is/can be used in gaming and other media.  On average they're in their twenties and love HD.  They will want the best that is offered in HD gaming.

With all of that said, they walk by your full shelves of 360 games and they grap a PS3.

That's why I wrote "Not everyone reads reviews, although if they did, they'd probably still want the 360 games....".  Casuals will see more games and buy that system assuming it has more good games. A more researched audience will read reviews, realize that a large portion of those extra 360 games are good, and still buy the 360.

Looking at Gamespot reviews alone, 360 has 11 games that are scored higher than PS3's highest rated game.
