Nice how the PS3 is doing

So we have tons of Exclusives coming up and the 360 only a Gears Spinoff for whole 2013 right?
GTA5 will probably do better on the PS3 too so the 360 has nothing to counter for the next 10-11 months till the Next CoD comes out right?

Well let's see and wait if it will be enough to surpass the 360 finally completely.The whole November month of the 360 every year is messing our conquering up everytime.
Sooner or later it will happen thats a sure thing.


Not quite, Halo makers Bungie are bringing out open world shooter 'Destiny', probably by year-end 2013, set in a weather-beaten environment with 'Lionel Messi' as the main character/protagonist. Though the last part's only unconfirmed rumour.  

That game is multiplatform if the newest leaks are anything to go by.

Believable I suppose, but a simultaneous release across all formats?

I did think Bungie were really in league with Microsoft, but not so according to this off wikipedia...

"On October 5, 2007, Bungie announced that it had split with Microsoft and become a privately held independent company, Bungie LLC. The company later incorporated and signed a ten-year publishing deal with Activision Blizzard".

A couple of other interesting facts from the article, Microsoft still own a minority stake in Bungie, Halo franchise is "intellectual property belonging to Microsoft" and Bungie's last Halo game was Halo: Reach. Halo 4 was actually made by one of Microsoft's own studios.

The franchise is planned to be multiplatform over the long run going into next-gen. Early leaks pointed to the first Destiny game to be an exclusive to 360 due to time-contraints, but mentioned a possiility for a PS3 release if it was "financially viable".

Who else thinks we are overtracking everything?


The number of posts I made in here that are patently true is stunning. I'm a genius.

No, no we must be undertracking something. A certain console had the its best quarter ever. IDC told me so... Haha.

Another year of massive adjustments incoming. Who would've expected that??? ;-p

Yeah, one would think that older members would have come to expect these post-holiday adjustments now. It reminds me of all those people who are caught by surprise by winter every year and crash their cars...

Oh my, I can understand if it happens in Southern Italy, where ice and snow are rare, except on the highest mountains and in the inner zones, but how can it happen in Norway?   

About numbers: sigh, ugly adjustments down except for 3DS and PSP...

Not surprising. A fairly large amount of people predicted the same.
