Sony to MS: You've punched yourself out of the fight

To people saying "Oh well before this gen, no games had [this feature] or [that feature] so this must be your first generation", your point is ridiculous. I grew up on games from the NES/Megadrive and have played pretty much constantly since, and while I loved the games I used to play (Super Mario Bros., Contra, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legend of Zelda, Earthbound from SNES, etc.), in the current generation I expect Achievements and Online Play because that technology is widely-spread enough to merit them being in a game. This penis-envy crap about people coming onto an Xbox related site to talk trash and call us "Xbots", which I might add is hilariously bad, needs to stop. Go to Kotaku, Joystiq, and PS3 Fanboy where your opinions are welcomed because, unfortunately for you, trolls aren't welcome here.

does he really caare that much...i mean yea the ps3 has gotton alot better but saying there is no more games exclusive to 360 is the dumbest thing ever.....gears of war 2...end of question thats gunna be the greatest realease this year besides gta......some my argue mgs but seriously it cant even come close to gears.

No, I think it says something about the complete absence of decent games for the PS3. When Sony can sell a game that's half done and it sells like hot cakes, it means there's nothing else for the consumer to buy. But hey, you have Blu Ray!

OH! Tizo burned you phizzy, you are dumb!

What is wrong with the comment system?

DAMN !

I am not for or against any one console. I choose to invest my money in the Xbox 360 because it offers the most replay value, games, services etc at this point. The Wii and PS3 have their own pro's and con's.

As far as my consideration to purchase a PS3, it would be solely for the Blu-Ray player since HD-DVD failed. But, digital distribution is going to be huge, so I will hold out.

The Xbox 360 experience as a whole is what keeps me going back. Sony and nintendo can not even compete in this arena. So, next year, after all these big titles have released for Sony, I don't see them doing as well as they think they will do. They have to consider that two thirds of the people buying that console right now are doing so for the Blu-Ray player. I guarantee that the Xbox 360 games will outsell the PS3 games just for fact alone.

Why does Sony keep comparing themselves (the PS3) to Microsoft (the Xbox 360)? To me, they are nothing alike and hands down the 360 is a better "GAMING" console period.

"Name the seven games?? I didn't think so......"

Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, Haze, MGS4, Disgaea 3, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, SOCOM: Confrontation, FFXIII, L.A. Noire, Tekken 6, White Knight Chronicles.

It seems to me that you didn't even give the guy a chance to respond before you started to assume, but let me know if you need anymore help thinking of some games. I'll be happy to help you. :)

"The marketplace is ground breaking and has changed the landscape of HOME ENTERTAINMENT forever."

In what way does it change the landscape might I ask you? In the way they nickel-and-dime you for every content on the Marketplace? In the way they overcharge you for a video you don't keep and not even Full-HD, not to mention 5+ GB's? Because we all know that I can fit that much stuff on my Premium console, with 13.9GB available to use and all. And then, they ask us to buy a $180 120GB HDD if we, the 10+ million who have a premium, want additional storage. If that's the case, you've got a valid point and makes my 360 purchase a great delight. ::Enter sarcasm::

"My PS3 is a dust collecting paperweight Blu-Ray palyer [sic]."

Oh yeah, my twice red-ringed 360 says hello to your working PS3. Grow up and do some research before you start to make stupid claims. You make all of us who own a 360 sound like morons.

This chip by Toshiba will upconvert SD video to 960p.d

Make sure you read the "souce" link.

If it wasn't for poor choices made by MS, the PS3 wouldn't even be on sale anymore.

MS should have kicked this system when it was down and finished it for good.

Instead they ignored the chance to bury it and here we are.

Gears of war is not a good game or a system seller. Only thing Microsoft was to have a game that had a acronym same as god of war. Gears of war 2 will just be gears of war 1 with a lamer plot. Halo wars is not going to be decent because its a stratergy game on a console go play age of empire on a system. They may say they are trying to do the controls more console like but yeah they make up lies.
Sony as in 2008 are Little big planet, Socom, Metal gear , Home and So much more 360 wont last 4 years or even close to ten years.
Also, Developers are making the games on the ps3 now first instead of the 360.
360 may look good yes it did decent in 07 360 fan just watch over the years. You m ay want to check what happened to the original x box. Most than likely it will happen similar to that :). Im done talking to fans that like gears and halo.

@Patrick

Wow man, there aint jack on the ps3 I want that isnt already on the 360. MGS thats it and that game will have next to no replay value.

GOW2 will own all and will most likely outsell Halo3 even.
We will see GOW2 push sales I guarentee it.
Not to mention Mass Effect 2 and Bio Shock 2 games that will only be found on 360.

The fact of the matter is that if GH3, Rock Band,Vegas2 and COD4 didn't hit the ps3 It would currently still be a worthless system.

To me it still is, I have most those games on 360 and in most cases they run better, load faster and are on a MUCH better online network. PS3 is Garbage.

@ANt

Little Big Planet, Killzone2, Gran Turismo Prologue, Haze, Resistance 2, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid 4. There is 7 for ya.

As for all the fanboyism that makes me laugh I find it ironic that if PS3 is made fun of everyone laughs but if 360 gets a bash its like someone insulted your mama. I have both systems and find them equally enjoyable. If you arent playing your PS3 its a shame cause your missing out. And before I hear someone say no games or controller isnt comfotable: Resistance, Drakes Fortune, Time Crysis, Ratchet and Clank Future, Heavenly Sword. And no I am not a fanboy just love games and sick of ignorance.

Drake and hevenly sword got rated like ass.

Fuck Final Fantasy they havn't been good since 10.
Killzone2 is a joke, Resistence and haze are second rate fps games that will be in the bargin bin as fast as those companies other offerings.
Rachet is a kids game GT is the same as its ever been which is old. MGS is about it, and like I said no replay value. Little big planet I'll admit I don't know much about but ultimatley I could care less.
I cant even believe Time Crysis was mentioned, LMAO.
What you call Ignorance is actually reality.

Haze may be a good game but the bottom line is, the Timesplitter series was bad ass too and sold like dick.
Digital Downloads for ps3 suck balls too. The only games It has I would actually want are tekken and MK2.

You either like one more than the other or your just that unopinionated and have no clue what your doing with either.

360 is easly the best console ever in the history of gamming and to compare it to the Pile of Shit 3 is an insult not just to Ms or 360fanboys but to the gaming industry.

as a PS3 owner i have to say until they show me god of war 3 & kingdom hearts 3 there is nothing coming out that i am excited about.

@ccc

Your a good example of why I find distaste in fanboyist attitude. You act as if you are attacking my oppinions and ideas. Not every game is like by the whole world. There are games I could care less about on the 360 doesn't mean I am sitting here critisizing you for your deceission to play them. Those games were awsome and many people that played them after being sceptical loved them. So you may not like them woopee others do just tired of people stating there are no games when I know of tones that consume my time.

OMFG!! As if Microsoft wasn't doing that about Sony's PS3 for almost a year b4 it started to get momentum. Sony has every right to gloat now. I like my XBox360, but my PS3 simply is a better machine in everyway. Sorry.. no brag just fact.

Yeah have fun with that

they are still just gloating about their win with blu-ray.
In all seriousness HD video won't become a standard the way VHS of DVD did for at least another 2 years. Prices haven't dropped they way they need too, and since HD-DVD got killed, BR has actually slightly gone up in price again.
Sony really has nothing to stand on with these claims and forgets that a bigger installed console base only needs a good stream of games for the next few years to stay successful. They don't need a built in HD disc player to be a successful game console, and how quickly Sony forgets of digital distribution.

Can the PS3 from here on out be referred to
POS3 -> Piece of Shit 3 ;)
ooops I think that was a fanboy comment.

The 360 has ALREADY out the best games, and still has great years ahead of them. I only just purchased a 360 in December but have since stopped playing games on my PC, and revel on just good gaming is on the 360 truly is. Sony fanboys make there remarks here and are just jealous, the are nothing but mindless zealots for SONY....
Long live the 360! (well at least to the next big thing comes out)

Only sony could spin them not having any good games for over a year as a positive.

I like that MS is trying to get some new un proven franchises in the mix, rather than becoming EA lite like sony has.

Wow I'm feeling dejavou with reference to Apple colt following. Have fun with this.

Theres only a few games that interest me on the 360... Halo 3, Gears & Ninja Gaiden 2... Unfortunetly the PS3 has games i want more then that :(

there is no one in the world that can say if they had the money they wouldnt buy both so it is really a mute point xbox360 clearly has better games now and has no signs of slowing if you want the games that are going to be on ps3 great go buy one but i am happy with my 360 that have had for 2 years with great games and even better ones to come cough fable 2 cough gow2
yea you really cant beat those two alone

Honestly,I feel the same. I have all 3 new systems and the I havent bothered to even renew my Live account because there really isnt anything coming out on the 360 i'm excited for. There's a few games this year I want on the PS3,but on the 360 there's like Ninja Gaiden 2 and Gears of War 2. Other stuff like TNA Impact,GTA4 and exclusives will be all on the PS3 for me. I want Alan Wake,but i'll be buying that on the PC,so kind of pointless to count that a 360 title for me.

Wait, people actually get GamePro?

I have a 360 and a PS3 and tbh I play the 360 a whole lot more. There is nothing out on the PS3 as of right now that makes me want to use it. Theres Unchartered and GT5 prolouge but thats about it and GT5 Prolouge isnt a full game. Where as on the 360 theres Gears, Lost Planet, Forza, PGR 4, Vegas 2, Bioshock, Dark Sector, Lost Oddysey, Assassins Creed, I know some of those are out on the PS3 as well but I play them on the 360 cause I get the added achievement factor, the online is better, and 360 versions are generally cheaper than the PS3 versions.

All the PS3 is really used for at the moment is the Blu Ray and browsing the web when I cant be assed to walk to the PC. I think the PS3 is a great bit of kit technically but the online does let it down. However if and when we ever see home that might change. There are a lot of PS3 games coming out that I want over the next 12 months MGS4, Haze, FF13, GT5 etc but there are lots of 360 games as well GOW2, Fable 2 etc

With a big sales lead, a cheaper retail price, more games and better online I dont see the 360 going anywhere of getting powned over the next couple of years. Still will be interesting to see if home lives up to the hype, and if people get rid of their 360's to jump on the Blu Ray band wagon.

360 = rpg gaming console

sorry but I bought my Xbox 360 VIDEO GAME system to play VIDEO GAMES, and I already own a DVD player to play movies. Tell me again why people buy ps3s?
