Devil May Cry 4 -- an inclusive hands-on preview

Apr 29th 2007 10:00PM (Joystiq Playstation)
Hardly call it trolling, Cagalli. I'm just imitating one of your fanboys' response.

And to respond to you original question, Kingofwhale:

"I mean, why do you have to pay to show off your mastery gaming skills?"

You don't! Silver membership is free, and lets you be online! And people can see your gamer score! Fascinating, isn't it?

Wow I'm up again?

Is the 360 outselling the ps3, even though it's been out a year longer? Yes. Are the ps3's sales abysmal? Yes.

Ok my turn again!

Do the 360 users have to pay for their online? Yes. Do ps3 users wish they had something even 1/100 of what LIVE is? Yes.

What a pathetic retort kingofwale.

Ok my turn!

Do 360 have lots of games to play? Yes. does the other system have many games? No.

PS3 game releases for the week of April 30th

Yes I do know about statistics and polling, and 400 people would not give a high level of confidence, especially since the data is going to be skewed. For two reasons. First, people who have a problem with their console are bound to come on web pages looking for people who are having a similar problem. People who don't have any problems with their consoles, aren't as likely to go and report positive feedback. Since you own a 360, I'll use this example. How often do you leave positive feedback for someone after a game on xbox live? Hardly ever? (Unless it's a 2k spot game, which makes you do it). How often do you leave negative feedback? If you're like me, the negative feedback is much more frequent since I report people if I see them cheating etc. I don't randomly give some guy on my team positive feedback. Same goes for the guitar hero 2 pricing. How many people filled out that petition, and filled out major nelson's post? Do you think all the people that actually did buy the GH2 song packs responded on major nelson's post saying the prices were fine? Secondly, there's no proof that those people even had problems with their systems. There's a lot of 360 haters out there, who would love to completely screw up the data and push the bell curve either which way. Either way, any samples are going to be biased, one way or another.

I'm not denying that 360 does have glitching problems, but I highly doubt it's in the 50% range, or it would be a much bigger issue. Microsoft would do a recall if the numbers were that high. You assume the number is higher, since you've had an issue, and your friends have. I think it's lower, since I've never had a problem, and all 5 of my friends who own one have never had a problem. I doubt there's even a way to find out the correct %, since a poll on LIVE would only include people who are on LIVE.

ah kingofwale, so naive. I work at a gamestop, I'll admit at launch alot of 360's were returned defective, but I've had maybe 1-2 returned in the last 5 months or so. It seems like the % is quite a bit higher, since you see a majority of the people doing the complaining are congregated on gaming websites, such as this. Even if you had 1,000 people on one site complaining theirs broke, that's .1% of people who own the system.
