i'm sure Gears of War 2 and Call of duty 5 and guitar hero 4 will sell a few millions...

Yearly COD is already overwhelming (just like tony hawk), dual would be overkilling even if it's not FPS..

I believe they made money with halo 3 also...

The attach rate for 360 is more like 7. Not only patcher can't predict, he doesn't even have facts -_-

I don't know but the best buy i work at didn't have super smash in stock most of the time.

*dances, then abruptly stops*

ah crap....now i gotta buy a 360

reptile168 commented on There's Just Not Enough Time For A Gears 2 Demo

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:17:44 MDT

The game will sell with or without demo. Did it hurt COD4 or Halo2 sales without demos?? Hmm, i don't think so.

BUT GH3 demo probably converted more than one to buy the game

it's a single player game anyway

reptile168 commented on Xbox Live On Dial-Up Is No Fun For Anybody

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:37:36 MDT

At least, if they have dial up, they shouldn't be on Xbox live GOLD since they can't afford broadband. Just like PS3 fanboys too cheap to pay 40-50$ a year for multiplayer

@Rammsoldat:

If by superior hardware, it means to have generally lower review scores on the PS3 version of a multiconsole game, I guess the PS3 does have superior hardware.

Yes, you get to play the exclusive games on the PC, but so can you play the exact same exclusive PS3 games on your PS2. Aside from graphical upgrades, GT5 is GT4. Aside from Snake being older, MGS4 is practically like the old MGS.

wow, i didn't know PS3 surpassed 360 in weekly in UK...

reptile168 commented on Midway Gamer's Day '08: Unreal Tournament III Coming to Xbox 360

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:51:53 MDT

No thanks, I'll gladly wait for their better franchise: Gears of War 2.

If they released UT3 day and date with the PC version, then I would have cared.

reptile168 commented on Microsoft More Innovative Than Nintendo Or Sony

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:50:10 MDT

Euh, what's innovative about PlayStation Home and the PlayStation Network.

Isn't PSN trying to copy Xbox live meticulously?? How about Playstation Home? a glorified Second Life with Entitlements and Xbox live features. Wow, it's really groundbreaking.

reptile168 commented on MK Vs. DC: Batman Versus Sub-Zero

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:48:17 MDT

Seriously, they should do Mortal kombat vs Street Fighter. That alone will sell tons of copies even though it's so 90s

reptile168 commented on GTA IV Gets Its First Taste Of Console Nitpicking

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:46:38 MDT

wooooo, another install on the PS3. I thought blue-ray was wayyyy faster than regular DVDs according to Sony fanboys.

reptile168 commented on Midway Gamer's Day: Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe First Characters Announced

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:45:32 MDT

as long as the game is well done, i'll accept the tradeoff

reptile168 commented on Custom Soundtracks For Burnout Paradise PS3

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:44:23 MDT

Hum, I thought one of the sony fanboys argument is that they don't care about custom soundtracks. Why do they even bother implementing that functionality?

reptile168 commented on Australia Also Gets A PS3/GTA IV Bundle

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:43:44 MDT

With the amount of advertising MS is giving GTA for 360, they should definitely negotiate a deal to have a 360 bundle GTA. Seriously! Don't change the color of the console to green or something and it'll sell well

reptile168 commented on XBLA Soul Calibur Is The Dreamcast One, Not The Arcade One

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:42:12 MDT

I am so buying this game. It's still the best soul calibur imo.

reptile168 commented on Kojima Disappointed With Metal Gear Solid 4

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:39:54 MDT

Wow, that's incredible from Kojima himself.

Everyone thought that PS3 was E3 2005 killzone. But it turns out that the PS3 isn't even Xbox 1.5!

Graphically, I'm aware that it's inferior to 360, but i didn't know that Cell wasn't as good as it should (not compared to 360).

Just freaking abandon EA. I don't want to see GTA EA

reptile168 commented on To Microsoft, GTA IV's As Big As Halo 3

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:34:43 MDT

for the average joe, they'll probably think it's 360 exclusive... Kudos to MS for hyping GTA since it's the biggest release of the year for any console.

reptile168 commented on Call Of Duty 4 Sells 9 Million

that's a crazy number!! Hope they don't screw up the COD franchise...

Deadly alliance, deception and Armageddon were pretty good in my opinion

People who think that 360 owners buy two-three-four-twenty xbox 360s to replace their RROD-ed 360 is absolutely positively S-T-U-P-I-D. Microsoft offered an extended warranty up to THREE YEARS. We aren't even at the three years mark since the 360 launch. Those Sony fanboys are absolutely hideous. How about 360 fanboys buying 5 different 360 to collect the collector's edition? That's as gay as it gets. PS3 has like 6 different skus or more, including the white PS3 from Japan. Why don't you guys mention that Sony fanboys buy them all?

Anyway, like for Sony focusing on the playstation brand added together, MS is simply stating their strengths: Xbox Live and software.

The fact remains the same, as far as my best buy is concerned, people who buy GT5 prologue ALREADY owns a PS3. Hence I must assume that most people who will buy MGS already owns a PS3, because obviously, since 2005, Sony has been hyping the same three games over and over again (MGS, GT, FF) and fanboys already purchased PS3 awaiting the big release of those three franchises, which is still not available as we speak in 2008. Though, price drop + hype + loyalty made PS fanboys buy the system already. The game that will push PS3 sales is called GTA.

Oh yeah, take that Patcher. You lost again. 360 outsold PS3

reptile168 commented on Nintendo Takes March, 360 & PS3 Neck-And-Neck

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:08:17 MDT

@Thomaticus:

You seriously think that RROD-ed 360 owners will buy a second 360 in thousands?? Seriously. The MS warranty is 3 years for RROD.

Anyway, seems like the 360 finally got better stocks in America and blue-ray momentum has finally slowed down after two months.

Now, about the GTA DLC being San Andreas size... If MS can capitalize on that point, then 360 will easily outsell PS3 again in April and May.

Another good Wii60 software month (-_- at Wii play). It's probably the last time we'll see two PSP games in the top 10 together...

reptile168 commented on Frankenreview, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3)

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:57:38 MDT

well, Sony is losing money on the PS3, might as well earn some profits by selling a demo for 40$. We all know that Sony fanboys will buy anything Sony, even with rootkits and music players that don't support MP3...

reptile168 commented on Clearvision PlayStation 3 LCD...Not Quite Your PSP3

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:55:16 MDT

The PS3 is already the largest console in console history, I don't see how it'll be "mobile".

reptile168 commented on Grand Theft Auto IV DLC To Bring Whole Cities?

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:53:41 MDT

If this is the DLC we're talking about, then I'm sold. But screw EA if they own take 2.

PS3 owners will probably still get their DLC a la gamer pictures...

@Murmaider:

Seriously, the only thing I can seem to think that the PS3 is superior to the 360 is the included trojan blue-ray. Otherwise, games tell me that the 360 has better load, better graphics, better framerate, better anything.
