The Joystiq E3 2007 Awards

Jul 25th 2007 9:55AM (Joystiq)
"According to the Game Critics Awards nominations list, every single "Best of Show" contender is coming to the Xbox 360 (one of them an exclusive).

For all the talk about the red rings of death, and despite the rejuvenated PS3 userbase and the tremendous success of the Wii console, it is the Xbox 360 that continues to have the best games in the industry -- for the second holiday season in a row. Pretty impressive for a console that so many people try their hardest to ignore or bury."


I have to agree and disagree at the same every reporter and even G4tv said sony had the best over all show and I agree.The xbox360 will have its great exclusives like halo3,mass effect and fable2 (all of which i plan on getting) but thats it as far as there IP line up and like you said everything else is going from both systems.

Now you got sony with folklore,lair,heavenly sword,killzone2,little big planet,warhawk,socom,singstar,infamous,home(had to mention it because damn thats going to be cool) and 16 other exclusive and NEW ips that havent even been shown yet.In all honestly sony should let there software divison do the talk because they have the most new IP out of ANY of the new systems.

Sony surprise me because they were the last company i would have thought of to pump out so many new IPs...

Pachter: Halo 3 could cause GTA IV delay

Jun 1st 2007 6:01PM (Joystiq)
WOW most of you guys are dumb as sh*t...


Are you guys that much of a fanboy to not check some stats before you claim that T2 is doing this (even though they havent offically said anything)because they're are afraid of halo...

Well I did the numbers for you all

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (13 million)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (12 million)
---------------------------------------------
That Equals 25 million for just those two games alone....


Halo 2 (8 million)
Halo: Combat Evolved (5 million)
--------------------------------------------------
Thats 13 million so that means the halo series combine sold as much as 1 GTA game


So ask yourself this people....who really needs the delay to sell there game?I'll gie you a hint , it aint T2



And JonnyBoy2U you sound more like a fanboy then the person you called out....

Ummm last time I checked Final fantasy has been around longer then pokemon.So that would make pokemon like final fantasy with monsters for 6 year olds.



Fanboy rant done.......*walks away,,,,slams door*

"why can't other psp games look this good?

Posted at 2:16PM on Mar 17th 2007 by Dreadhead541"




Because they arn't made by sqaure-enix.That company can make any system look like a power house.....


Just look at final fantasy 3 for the DS.Name me one game that looks that awsome on the ds thats not from sqaure-enx and still have room for FMVs.

Which is why I cant wait for final fantasy 13 and the xbox360 title sqaure-enix is making.

When you want to know what kind of raw power a console has you look at sqaure-enix.

Valve questions Microsoft's PC gaming initiative

Mar 12th 2007 2:05PM (Joystiq)
Like Anonymous said its all about price.Wanna know why WoW and the sims sell like crazy?

BECAUSE THEY CAN BE PLAY ON JUST ABOUT ANY PC...


PC gaming will never ever be fully mainstream until they realize how to balance horsepower and price if console dev can do it so can pc devs.

And please dont say "but you can build a good pc for 500 bucks" because I can fix a car for 60% less than a shop chargers but that doesnt mean everybody can do it....

Breakfast Topic: When Shaman go OOM

Mar 8th 2007 10:54AM (WoW)
As a lvl 64 shaman , I can honestly say this is one class blizzard got right.

Some of you guys are just asking for too much.If we had enough mana to do everything then we would REALLY be over powered.

Its a great trade off to the class without swinging the big nerf bat.Most good shamans would never really complain about mana because there are so many ways to work around it ( you just need enough gold ;-) )...

Stop saying "copy" please .Where were you when microsoft "copy" sonys dvd playback?Where were you when nintendo "copy" atrai by making a game console?Sounds dumb right?

I dont care what any fanboys says but when your argument makes no damn sense you just come off looking like a retard...

Please oh please name me one company on this earth that does not "copy" off another.

If no one "copy" we would have one cell phone maker , one car maker, one console make,one place to eat food, one style of house, one brand of shoes,one brand of cough syrup etc , etc, F**King etc...

So please fanboys go some where else and bash about sony.This is all great news for people like me that doesnt get caught up in the fanboy hype...

November NPD: big franchises, new consoles drive industry sales up 34% [update 1]

Dec 8th 2006 11:17AM (Joystiq)
Bobsmith you are both correct and incorrect sqaure and epic make there money on a per unit shipped not units sold (thats were retailers make there money) which is why sony,microsoft and nintendo count units shipped not sold).Once the units leave there warehouse they are sold by the maker.Cellphones and TVs are also counted by the units shipped because once it is sold to retailers there money is made.

This is nothing new, ask any retailer how manufacturs count there total sales.

I could care less which one is out selling which (i own both)because its not making me any money.How ever there are thing some of you have to understand on how these numbers are counted....
