Activision 2009 lineup is frigging 'uge

Blizzards been just as bad. They haven't released anything since 2004 except WoW.

then why is Resistance 2 getting a Metacritic average below Gears 2?

I hope my comment disappears due to the sheer force of the banhammer applied on you.

Dude, what are you talking about? We cover the Xbox 360, why would we talk about Resistance 2 at all?

Also, despite your insistence, the PS3 did not "obliterate" the 7 week total of the 360. In fact, it didn't even surpass it. The week of September 8 and the week of September 15, the Xbox 360 sold ~28K and ~14K respectively. So, about 42K total. That's before you add in the following 5 weeks.

Last week, as you keep telling me, the PS3 sold 39,587, so no, it did not "obliterate" the 7 week total that the 360 had going.

All of this, of course, is beside the point, which is: who cares? Both systems are doing just fine and we have healthy competition as a result. Once Joystiq compiles their weekly Japanese hardware sales total (today or tomorrow), we will post the news.

Richard Mitchell talks nonsense..

"Microsoft sold 53,547 units of the Xbox 360 in the four weeks to September 28, compared with 33,071 units of the PS3, data from Enterbrain showed on Friday."

20k in 4 weeks. The PS3 sold 30k more units in a single week.

Sorry but you would have to be an idiot to not see the hypocracy, that Xbox360 fanboy cream their pants at a 2k weekly advantage, and then totally ignore losing so badly in a single week...

I can see this isn't going anywhere but, for what it's worth, I stopped caring about who "won" the console wars when the Dreamcast died. All the consoles have good games. I wound up having a lot more fun when I realized that.

To each his own, though. Believe what you want if it will make you feel better. We're totally teh bias.

Okay, I think it is time to grow up, Mik... this is xbox360fanboy after all, shouldn't you keep to ps3fanboy to hear about ps3 news?

Honestly, why even troll? What can come of it? "Oh gawd, I never knew the PS3 was so awesome, thanks for letting me know, I'll never read xbox360fanboy again."

And even if that did happen in make-believe-land, what benefit does it grant you?

Yes, I have both systems, and yes I read both forums, I have to admit there are only a handful of ps3 games I own or care for. But that's the reality, Sony got to a VERY slow start and as it were many exclusives that I bought the PS3 in anticipation for are no longer exclusive, but that's life, I had high hopes like everyone else, but business is business, if the user base is larger and the attach rate is larger, what would any legitimate business do?

The 360 is now $199, that's like basically 3 games, just man up get one. Then you could stop trolling a 360 blog without a 360 and enjoy both Resistance 2 and Gears of War 2.

I'm mean... "oh no GoW2 is an 360 exclusive, omfg it suXorZ so bad, Resistance2 roX0rz, btw, I don't have a 360 or touched GoW." Come on, who's going to take you seriously? (other than being a troll? or is that what you want?)

Cole's Notes: I bought the 360 at launch due to my satisfaction with the original (somewhat ill-fated) xbox. And picked up the 60GB PS3 when Sony threatened to pull out the emotion engine from later models. And before you question my loyalty to Sony (in general), my entire collection of HT/AV electronics has almost always consisted of Sony products. Plus, I stood in line for 5 hours in the middle of snowy sub-zero winter when the PS2 launched (yes, I was younger and naive back then).

@hsuchi1 merely pointing out that the Cheif News Editor here has to resort to making things up to win arguments. When I offered up a Reuters link to counter his lies, suddenly he didn't care about sales numbers.

I think you Americans need to wake up, you are being manipulated by the media, who are being paid off by corporations.

You were already the laughing stock of the world, and things like this just make it worse.

Okay, hold on. Let's keep this civil okay. I most certainly did not make anything up. I quoted you the Japanese hardware sales numbers from the weeks of September 8 and 16. I got them from Joystiq, which gets them from Media Create.

You said "What about those 7 week Japan sales that PS3 obliterated in a single week? la la la fingers in ears, it's not happening..." The PS3, according to the same information you sent me, sold 39,587 units last week. In order for your claim to be true, the Xbox 360 would have to have sold less than 39,587 in 7 weeks, which is not true. That is the only statement I was making.

Now, maybe the PS3 had higher TOTAL sales during that period. I don't know, I haven't done the math. My only point was that last week's sales did not eclipse the 7 week streak that the Xbox 360 (bizarrely) enjoyed, which is what your original statement was.

It seems to me that all we really have here is a misunderstanding.
