Sony should get round to releasing guaranteed must buys, the big hits of the PS1 era, instead of releasing this disney tat.

Scarcely top performance especially when there was no competition to start with. Looks like this was released to draw attention from the NPD figures.
Remember when MS said 'history tells us' that the first to 10m in the USA wins - what does history tell us about the last to 10m in EMEA?

If I am wrong, I would love evidence to the contrary. These console wars are so amusing.

I take it you're referring to my last paragraph. No, it's MS that I'm have a (gentle) go at.
Of course, there isn't a generally accepted set of figures, and the territories don't match up, and we're talking EMEA rather than PAL - but suggestions/extrapolations are that MS and Sony are very close in EMEA, both at about 10m - and there's a chance that MS is behind. And of course it took them a lot longer to get there.
I didn't mean any more than that. The dig was more aimed at MS's old 'first to 10m' comment than anything else. #xbox360

It is just that companies usually brag about something they think they are are best at or first at or biggest at. If they brag about something else it usually means they don't have something better to brag about. #xbox360

Like the ability to be a noise machine to help you sleep.
Or a space heater to keep you warm.
Or a disc shredder.
PS3 fanboys are so lame, they don't get any of this awesome stuff. I'd actually just throw my playstation into the nearest homeless guy or street musicians money cup, tbh #xbox360

Nothing less than amazing.
btw how did that dick face get a star? O.o

PS3 isn't even worthy of a yearly paid membership. I mean, lets be honest here, do you want to sleep on your friends couch for free, or pay to stay in the most excellent 6 star rated (on a 5 star scale) Hotel Six? I mean, goddamn, the Hotel Six has such simple looking rooms that are easy to get into and out of so that you can hook up with strangers any time of the day who will say any number of things to you whether you want them to or not. And from what I'm told theres constantly pirates and squatters taking up residence in the other rooms until management chases them away. Exciting.
What the fuck do you get on your friends couch. A pity visit from a friend down the street? PSSSSH I get a continental breakfast, bitch. Screw your free couch, I'll take my seedy bodily fluid open door policy hotel that I have to pay for, thank you.
Well, to be fair, I guess I use my PS3 to open clams down at the beach. So it has its uses. #xbox360

You're a moron. #xbox360

You just feel bad because you're forced to kick your system around a little to get it to break. The Xbox takes care of that for me.
Sucks to be you. #xbox360

Jokes? No, my friend, this is serious business.
Just look at all the overheated replies. Obvious Xbot wannabes. #xbox360

It's a lot like getting thrown in the slammer, locked in a small uncomfortable space, and trying to pass encoded messages to your guy on the outside. You are given very little opportunity to get out of your room, but who would want that anyway? When you do get out you spend the whole time praying you don't get shanked in the yard by a random stranger.
But hey, it's not all bad, after all its free to get in and the guards take care of everything you need, weather you like it or not. #xbox360

I kno, seriously, thats some pretty good advice. Especially when trolls are known to feast primarily on billy goats and small children. I don't really have access to a supply of either.
The problem is, if we don't feed trolls, won't they attack the local village looking for food anyways? I guess the villagers could TRY to drive them off, but it would probably be easier just to toss them a sheep once in a while.
And fire, always use fire. They can't regrow limbs if you cauterize the wounds.
What kind of system would a troll have, anyways? Hes probably too ugly to hang out on xbox live, can't lure children under the bridge by tempting them with playstation, and probably doesn't have enough room (being that hes under a bridge and all) to flail about with a Wii.
A DS, maybe? I've heard news reports before telling me that pictochat is brilliant for sexual predators. The troll could just send something like 'omgz little timmy we are all meeting under that spooky old bridge at the end of the village tonight at midnight to play silly human child games - your friend sally' anytime he felt like a snack. #xbox360

@Komrade Kayce: sigh.
I remember back in the AOL and Dreamcast chat room days it was fun now and then to stir up controversy and troll it up with long drawn out over-thought responses. But then do you know what happened? I realized their was more to life than teen-angst and my childish ways. A troll in sheep's clothing is still a troll. #xbox360
11/13/09
Than I'm curious as to what system you think my parents bought for me that caused me to take a school full of 800 children hostage and force them to become followers so that I could get a little star beside my name.
No, really. I'm genuinely curious as to this answer.
(the answer is actually a 32x, Sega perfected the gaming console experience and I've decided to live at home well into my late 20's so I can continue to ask my parents to buy my stuff for me) #xbox360

Well, considering you've moved onto other topics at Kotaku without replying to me yet, I'll take that as a sign of you went up, actually READ what I wrote, and realized theres no way I was favouring either system.
Or maybe you typed Komrade Kayce into mygamercard.net and noticed I've got around 260 games played for the 360 with a 78k gamerscore.
Or maybe you typed it into google image search and found that picture from last year with a stack of games numbering in the 100's and my name sitting on top of it (I collect, you see).
Or maybe you just went through my past post history of Kotaku and discovered that I not only own a playstation AND a 360, but have been fortunate enough to have been gifted with the joy of honesty. Allowing me to say with a chuckle that the 360 is a steaming pile of shit when it comes to manufacturing quality and the PS3 makes for a good bludgeoning weapon.
Of course, seeing as how you, like a few people who replied, seem like the sort of people who throw shoes at Colbert for being a crazy right wing fundamentalist, maybe you just gave up and went with whatever assumptions about me you've made that make you comfortable.
Of course, I was really biting my lip this whole time trying not to spoil the joke even in the face of people understanding the satire in what I was writing because the more angry 'YOU R STOOPID' replies I could get, the better (as the one person above said, its like that crazy indian video, lol), for the world is at its best when you show it to be immensely hilarious in its lack of humour.
And none of this 'no, i got what you were trying to say, you just werent being funny' bs to try to come off good here. You made allusions that I'm likely the sort of person with only one console (so which one is it? The 360 space heater/disc shredder or the PS3 I use to break open clams down at the beach?).
If this was a dance off, I just threw a novel of words at your head with the title 'You got served' on the cover and walked out of the alley. #xbox360
11/13/09
I just don't find it necessary to use the Bellow again and again like you were. All in all spoofing the punks does nothing but make you a bigger punk.
I will take my 'serving' and move along. #xbox360
11/13/09
The only people you give fuel to by typing what I typed are people with no sense of humour.
I called Xbox Live a seedy hotel and PSN your friends couch, for chrissakes.
I wasn't trying to spoof the punks. The punks spoofed themselves. I just let them continue.
The joke is better when you have people who don't get it making it blatantly obvious, don't you think? I was just making light at first, but it got better and better with others and yourselves making assumptions that would be impossible to make if you took two seconds to actually read what was in letters right in front of you. Really now, I'm telling people to give their playstation to a homeless man because the 360 has great features like eating your games. And people are getting mad because I'm slamming the PS3 (as evident by our friend Juan above with a PSN but no GT).
*cough*
Two guys walk into a bar and...
WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE TWO GUYS. I DONT KNOW ANYONE WHO GOES TO BARS. WHAT IF ONE HAS A WHEELCHAIR? RAAAAAAAAAAAAGE #xbox360

Now go fuckin' take the trash to the curb if you want any dinner.
I wasn't getting my worst part off the jollies of the gaming community. Theres a few of us here with a sense of humour, like ol Cap'n above asking me if I was going to quit (like his 360 processor did).
I just wasn't about to step in and go 'guys guys guys have a sense of humour'. Having people get mad at obvious sillyness can be just as much fun as being silly itself. Seriously. I wouldn't compare myself to the man, but look at how funny it was when Bill O'Reiley had Colbert on his show to discuss right wing politics and Colbert kept a straight face the entire time. Watching others 'not get it' can be priceless.
Comeeeee onnnn I was telling people I use my PS3 to open clams at the beach. Clams! How much more obvious could I make it that I was being silly? #xbox360

I mean.... wouldn't it be cheaper to rent a drama like Gran Torino on DVD, why do you need to watch it in HD anyway? It's not like a better view of Eastwood's HD wrinkles is gonna make the movie any better.

And 3 PSP games. JUST THREE. Dear god.

But yeah, seems Sony stopped caring about Europe a long time ago. But I'll spare you my ramble on how SCEE found it OK to delay SSF2THD's release until the same day SF4 came out, making it sorta redundant. #ps3

Party Time with Winnie the Pooh"
This is one of them Oxywhatsits surely? Sony Europe are gibbering loonies on the PS One release front. I thought the idea was to release games people wanted not just dig through the dross that no one was interested in in the first place. Perhaps they need to take a hard look at the maturity level of their staff. #ps3
