All analysts are wrong, thats why they're analysts. Pachter has been on the mark a lot more recently than he used to be so its worth giving him a little credit

this is true, but Reggie is like on a whole different level. Although I can't seem to recall Harrison coming off like that at any point.

I just remember seeing him on an episode of gamehead over a year ago during a generation preview episode and whenever they brought up Sony or MS to Reggie he was just like "who? Oh them, yeah fuck 'em, they cant touch us"

Thanks for proving my point, being pretty sure and knowing are two completely different things. Therefore your argument is a bust. Good day sir...

Dude, have you seriously polled every PS3 owner in the world to make the assumption that the "majority" of us bought it for the name? If so you are as stupid as your rebuttles. Frankly I bought my PS3 for the games. I'm a FF fan, titles like GoW, MGS, and DMC are an added bonus with originals like Uncharted and Warhawk as icing on the cake. The only place your argument has even the slimmest chance of flying is in Europe and even then thats a little far-fetched. Give it up fanboy.

You know MS may have more exclusives, but what exactly are they? If there are in fact so many then why is it always the same 3-4 games in every response? The Sony exclusives, while less numerous, are huge titles that will sell well and move systems.

Also I'm not sure what you're talking about with some of those games. I don't like shooters and I think RFoM (1 and 2) look impressive. Uncharted had a great story so I'm a little befuddled as to why its "bland"

well to be fair most of those comments came in the midst of a format war. Sony had to hype BR as much as they could to compete with HD. Also putting the player in the system and making all games play on that format was a pricy risk which has paid off. Yeah you could probably say the same for the CD/DVD capabilities of past consoles but there wasn't much competiton at those times as there was with two virtually new formats this gen.

agreed. You can say what you want about the games but don't go off acting like there aren't any. I'm pretty picky about my games and yet I already own 12 games (9 disc, 3 PSN)and I've still got like another 5-6 this year alone and most of them are exclusive

Thanks Candlejack, someone else who can validate my argument

No thanks, I can do without your "videos" from now on. You go have fun in MS's pocket though

That's complete bullshit and you know it. Full RGB makes a decent difference IMO. If it doesn't make as much of a difference as you claim why even bother to turn the damn thing on? If you want to really compare screens, adjust the settings so they look alike color wise and then let everyone judge for themselves on details alone. I seriously doubt anyone will buy a game based on color/brightness/gamma when anyone with half a brain can go and adjust the settings to their liking anyway.

I dont hardly think so. I'm pretty sure that Nintendo sells all their consoles at a profit while Sony sold about half of theirs at a loss to make up costs. Even then the Wii hasn't dropped in price while the PS3 has dropped about $200

Therefore your argument is flawed.

No see I'm not buying it. GoW2 or not every game thats getting reviewed deserves fair treatment. Grid probably wont sell enough to even merit much a mention but that doesn't make it any less important to the people who would rather play that than GoW2. You fucked up, plain and simple, no ifs, ands or buts.

Oh, my bad dude, guess I misread your comment. No disrespect meant on my part.

Are you familiar with the stages? Theres pre-alpha (which this is in), alpha, beta, and gold

fro pre alpha this is pretty damn good, alpha is where all the other effects get inserted with beta testing for bigs and whatnot. This is merely a placeholder for them to build upon in the alpha stage to add in all the bells and whistles.

Isn't that what handhelds are for? =)

Wow, maybe you stick to your 360 because you don't exactly know what you're talking about. For one, everyone knew FF and KZ wouldn't be out till late this year if not in 2009. Advertising is meant to show the potential buyers what is coming as well as what is available. Thats just the way its always been done. Plus Home is not a game so lets not include it in that list.

Second, we have a coherent on-line thank you very much. Excuse us if we don't feel like paying $50 for a couple extra features which aren't critical anyway.

Third, the Cell and BR are basically new technology, it takes time to understand it so delays are expected. If you ask me the only thing that needed delayed the 360 to avoid all those idiotic RRoD's and disc drive errors. You wanna talk about consumers getting screwed over, well I've never seen so many 360 fanboys get screwed out the ass and sit there begging for more.

Ditto, mine works perfectly as well, and it was still fairly early when I picked it up.

personally, no, because I'm quite happy playing my Heavenly Sword and what have you, but seeing as how that's the first thing most people look at when judging a game its worth pointing out.

Does it really matter? At one point in time all these sequels were original, unproven IP's too.

ehh... I have my moments =)

Now I know how those price is right contestants feel when somebody bids $1 over them, lol

I'm assuming it'll be a lot like Warhawk with dedicated servers and the like.

Do you have a source for FF not making 2009 or are you just pulling stuff out of your ass?

funny, thats how I feel about KZ2. I dislike FPS' and even I'm happy for that one.

Yeah, but I always find it very disturbing that if people don't hear something new about a game every month they automatically go into a frenzy and start speculating delays and such. Are we so damn bored that companies aren't allowed to keep secrets?

I doubt either of those last 2 get there but at the very least:

KZ2
FFXIII/vsXIII
Twisted Metal 5
GoW3
GT5
Uncharted 2

only AAA title? Maybe you should check again
