I wonder what Halo 2 would score today and it wasnt called Halo.... probably about a five. Seriously I'm one of the biggest Wii haters on this board but Halo 2 is awful.

Console wars are for underage or poor people. Real gamers have them all.Perjury

Why do you even care what anyone else buys or plays? Maybe you need to stop worrying about what toys strangers buy and get yourself a job so you can afford more then one system.Perjury

[QUOTE="Alpha-Male22"] You are ridiculously mistaken if you think a price drop is going to put Sony ahead of Nintendo. Everyone is going to be laughing at you when Sony drops its price because it will still lag behind Nintendo. Sony outpacing MS is a possibility but you are assuming MS is just going to sit around doing nothing. MS have the power to drop their price too if they see Sony catching up. Your just grasping on to straws. It's like you understand Sony is in last place but refuse to accept it and shake your head, cover your ears and keep chanting "Sony! Sony! Sony!" Let it go.aero250

I dont know but to me they seem like they could be easily rigged. Anyone can 'PAY' to have the best numbers if they want to show thier console in the best light if ya catch my drift.
