I agree with your comment, Autopsy 15. I feel that there seems to be way more negative articles about the Ps3 than the 360 despite the latter has hardware and network flaws. True, the ps3 is expensive and has less games than the 360, but it seems that this site loves to kick dirt about the ps3, but delays or sugarcoats any issues that the 360 has.

I don't even have a ps3 and the only next gen access I have is a 360, which my brother owns. I like playin games like doa 4 on the 360, but I am not going to bash another system just because I have access to the 360.

Joystiq is like the Fox news of video game news.

If your sick of it then may I suggest not surfing the web. This isn't only Joystiq that's doing it. Almost every gaming site has been taking their shots at sony? Why? Cause it's easy. If you don't like it, might I suggest going to some sony fanboys site where they praise sony like a god.

Yeah I bet the bigass article about Xbox 360 failures a while back was to make the 360 look good right?

Nothing is more annoying than JOYSTIQ IS TOBIAS!!!-shouting retards. They make snarky comments about EVERY console.

Major PS3 advantage:

Japanese games are guaranteed.

When you get a Japanese game on the Xbox 360 it feels like you're getting table scraps. They aren't a sure thing. While on the PS3 you never have to wonder if Japanese games will be released on it. Xbox 360 owners making a big deal out of this proves that they know their library has a major weakness.

The only weakness I see is the lack of PS3 sales and quality games worthy of a purchase. Obviously your coveted Japanese games aren't making much of a difference as hardly anyone in the states is buying the games or the system for that matter. Is the 360 selling in Japan? No, and frankly who cares.

Western developers make better games IMO and have been for awhile now IMO and western audiences spend more money on gaming anyway. The fact is Japanese developers aren't as important to gaming as they used to be. The once impervious grip on gaming they had is gone, with the exception of the handheld market.

I love my Japanese games as much as the next guy, however, nastalgia and run of the mill rpgs only go so far. Albeit, I love my of the wall Japanese games, but this is mistaken as having "so much more creativeness" then western developers. The fact of the matter is simple, it's a cultural difference, nothing more, nothing less, different styles and ways of doing things. For example, they have alot of rpg's and most of them look and play the same, with few exceptions. Westerners tend to like fps games most of them run of the mill as well, with few exceptions.

MGS may be a coveted game by some, but their are those of us out there who quite frankly don't like the series and have no interest in purchasing it. If this game is supposed to be the saving grace of PS3, then they're in deep shit. It'll sell well in Japan but not enough to hurt the Wii or the DS lite and here in the states and Europe, I think people will be in for a shock when they realize just how much of a non-impact the game will be. It will sell better in Europe then here but nonetheless the points the same.

I'm not saying it will fail, to the contrary, it will sell very well, but move units or sell like Halo3?, not even close.

What the heck are you talking about? MGS sells a lot better in western countries than it does in Japan. The game even allows you to play in first-person, just to appeal westerns.

You need to continue your education, seriously.

Anyway, i'm not bashing the PS3, I just want them to give me a reason to buy one. When 360 was released I purchased 5 games, and for launch games, they were really, really good.

What were those way better PS3 launch games?
...
...
..., that's what I thought.

As far as your juvenile argument about the 360 being out longer, how much longer are you going to use that argument? You mean to tell me that after all this time the reason the PS3 isn't doing as well as all the shit Sony talked is because the 360 has been out longer? Now, if your referring to developers getting used to the hardware, then you have some what of an argument, to which I would reply tell Sony to stop making there hardware so damn hard to program for.

You call it basing I call it pointing out the obvious. For all the shit that Sony talked the PS3 IMO is a joke. Just like all the crap they talked about PSP, bringing gaming out of the handeheld ghetto? Please, or how about the one were I think its Kutaragi, who stated that we want you to get an extra job so you can afford it or something to that nature.

As a matter of fact, can someone post a link to all the dumb ass commnents and promises made by Sony about the PS3 and then you tell me if the shit talkin meets the hype about their games and sytems. I'm a gamer as much or more than most but I don't like being insulted, especailly when even a year+ out and someone like me not only has no reason to buy a PS3 at this point, but on top of that you get insulted by there arrogance and they expect someone to go buy there machine?

That's why I love the big N. Quality and innovation in a way that keeps the Japanese tradition of gaming alive. I just can't wait until I can find a Wii then i'll have what I need this gen. It's not basing the PS3, it is what it is.

When sales are terrible they will port it to the 360 as MGS4: Substance with some extra crap that wasn't in the PS3 version.

Dang it all to heck!

Just your typical PR behaviour(s) being exercised here. In reality, if the news became official that MGS4 is coming to 360, then many a gamer may see the reason(s) to pick up a PS3 less than justified. Sony has a lot of money/time invested in Konami's project, and a lot at stake. I see this as an attempt to persuade public opinion in the short term. If PS3 attachment rate sales do not pick up, then sound business sense suggests that MGS4 will one day shine on 360 (especially when the MGS series sales have been RELATIVELY underwhelming when you consider the 100+ million install base). The question is, however, do 360 gamers care for Solid Snake?

And in the meantime Konami execs and shareholders alike longingly glance at those 360 software numbers wondering if they'll even break even on the ps3. Halo 3 = 8.1 million and counting $$$$$

Who cares anymore? At this point just wait and see what will happen.

We all know how it will go down regardless. If it stays exclusive PS3 fanboys will be like "see told you it would stay exclusive", while 360 fanboys will claim that they never wanted the "crappy" game on their system in the first place. If it goes multi-platform 360 fanboys will laugh at PS3 fanboys, and PS3 fanboys will say that it doesn't matter because their system had it first. All along Nintendo fanboys will still be entering in friends codes for SSBB.

So true. This whole online war between 360 fanboys and ps3 fanboys reads like one of those "My car is better than yours, therefore my dick is bigger" type of comments. For those who care if this comes out for the 360 or not just to spite the fanboys who owns the other system, do you have that small of a penis that you have to find other means to compensate with your micropenis?

I am still thinking WHY would they ever port this to 360? Metal Gear does not sound like the type of game that the Microsoft audience would eat up. Be right next to Viva Pinata IMO.

The day that this game goes to 360 is the day that Gears of War 2 goes to PS3.

The difference here is Sony doesn't own the rights to the MGS name, it doesn't even publish the game. Whereas Microsoft owns the Gears of War name and publishes the game.

That is a terrible comparison.

Gotta let PS3 owners keep something. If MGS 4 and/or FFXIII were announced for 360, there'd be blood in the streets, I tell ya!
