Ok, now please try to act like an "adult" ...

Wow ... I must have pinched a nerve or two. Did you write your parents a thank-you card for buying you a PS3?


 He had a fair point, you talk about the other guy not having manners and you come out with this assumed sarcastic mockery.

anyone without the knowledge of the geek sell count war. will link gta and playstation together. And there is alot of em in europe. Xbox just got a bigger install base currently.

Not necessarily.  While what you say has some merit, these same people, when walking into a store to buy a console and GTA4, they will see that the cheapest Xbox 360 is $120 cheaper than the cheapest PS3.  That's a big deciding factor for this type of gamer.  Also, as I said, the way each company handles advertising and price drops will have a big effect on which version people who don't read about 'console wars' will buy.

*Yawn*

I wasn't the one who started name-calling and you defend both of these guys. Correct me if I am wrong, but how many adults tell other adults to act like adults? Where I come from, that usually gets a busted lip.

Thanks a lot for your advice, but I would just sit back and enjoy the view and MYOB. Mucho gracias.

MS made a system that was too weak this gen and games are suffering, Halo3 was a bust, the game sucked for the most part. Now its just time for MS to screw the PS3 owners over by forcing R* to make the game the same on each system.

Your signature block with the game that hasn't shipped yet makes your comment biased...

That is one of the dumbest comments I have seen on VGChartz.

Name one game that is on the market that looks and runs significantly better on the PS3 upon simultaneous release?  Have you been under a rock the last year?  It is factual by now that there are some issues with getting the power out of the PS3...  I'm not saying its crappy (I own one), it is just much more difficult to get the power out of it...

The games will get better but so far 360 is out performing and out delivering the PS3 this generation...


Actually, in Game Informer's most recent magazine, I saw the first game that was given the nod on the PS3 over the 360 version.  I can't remember which game it was though. 

 Up until now, I don't think I've seen any that way. It was always "360 wins out because"... (online play, graphics, framerates, etc)



To the Topic: UM no haha. Since when has one game, especially multiplatform game, ever won a generation or even move it moreso in one direction. I mean some exclusives have done that but a multiplatform game haha. Hell and the exclusives that did it really were driven by other things as well.

I don't think that the episodic content is really going to make people buy 360 version over PS3 version, just that there will probably be five to seven million more 360 owners than PS3 owners, meaning that it inherently will sell well.



AGAIN, there was NO real BOOST of PS2 sales after GTA3 release.
DMC4 Will show, what expect from GTA4 sales.

Only 5-6 weeks left.



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

It's no wonder you're so mature.

Being condescending to other people as a defense mechanism shows me that you are indeed very immature. Saying that they should "thank their mommies and daddies" and things like "PWN3D" or "fanboiz" and "You fail, son, at bashing me. Your hatin' is laughable and you are nothing more than a tool and a Sony drone. Get back to work at SDF" says a lot about your character, rough childhood perhaps? Adults do not solve their disputes by talking down to each other or calling people "tools".

However, in reality chances are that you're a teenager and you would like to feel superior to your peers so you masquerade as an adult. That would explain the Dave Chappelle infatuation, and the name madskillz. In your profile, you say you were educated at "Dr. Dre's School of Pharmacy" how old could you really be? 20?

I can't wait to see how many times you make reference to someones mother or father (or both) in your next post. Maybe you will even do it to me?

 Because japanese beat-em-ups appeal to the same people who dig western gangster-simulators, right?

 Honestly, I'd like to know if you are just a blinded fanboy or an obnoxious shill.

Well if multi-platform games keep getting better on the Xbox 360, as opposed to the Playstation 3, than yes. I still don't know why there is not a Wii version.
