what is the point of this list?

 

 

To show that there was not very much coming out on the 360 arond this time last year. It also had less than 10 exclusives.

 

 so?if ur trying to say that ms won last year despit these games...its bcoz of the price cut!!


PS3 won best exclusives of 2008 award. So I guess they are saying there will probably be a repeat of last year. I can agree with that...even moreso this year.

Hmm if I remember correctly people were saying the same thing in early-mid 2008. Then the holiday came and MS blew Sony away.

 

really?? W.O.W

 

 Yes really. Check the holiday sales.

 

Ummm....I thought wer talking about games here and I got a vid that would make you feel a lot better.

ENJOY!!!



OK...I will admit...The PS2 is a Phenom when it comes to how much it sold and clearly had the best software line since the combonation of the genesis and the super nintendo...but the fact is that MGS 4  sold under 5million..and Halo 3 sold almost 10 million...You think that the Hardcore gamer would of thought to get MGS 4 since it is such a critticaly aclaimed series and has a huge following, superb development and  tight graphics....oh that's right....becuase the Sony platform is only over 20 mil that explains it less than massive debut...and yes 5 mil is alot..but over 1 billion of hours of halo 3 being played on Xbox live does not sound like xbox 360 accepted defeat sounds like they are focusing on the formula that is working for them.... and i know that everyone in the sony camp was shaking their heads at Microsoft for paying for exclusive DLC..but hey dont get mad at Microsoft get mad at RockStar...and count  PS3 lucky that Capcom stated that all their games will be multi platform...even though their games perform average on PS3 and very well on 360...i frankly think Microsoft is gonna focus on keeping their gamer base happy and let the developer community do as it will....as for sony's succsess...only a little over 3 mill in japan ..that's pathethic...sure 360 is doing worse but they're main target is america..

Basically MS thinks the 360 can outsell PS3 in 2009 without any exclusives.

So how is it giving up when they are actually laughing in Sonys face by saying "All we need is Halo Wars and Halo ODST and well sell more then you".

 

good for MS...bad for you. id rather be playing exclusive games than saying "my console sold more than yours".

one of the more common cooments nowadays....and i will try to stress again as always that it was bcoz of the price drop...and im sure that if the ps3 gets a price drop it will outsell the 360....and im sure that then ms fans will defend themselves like i do by saying that the ps3 winning bcoz of the price drop!!

Xbox 360 has been more successful then Playstation 3 in the last 2 years, Xbox 360 was dominating Playstation 3 in both hardware & software sales but 2009 has been dry for Xbox.

According to a series of recent reports by the research group DFC Intelligence, the game industry is poised to see enormous overall growth in 2009,DFC estimates that the videogame market will swell to $47 Billion by 2009, a 42 percent increase over the $33 billion generated by the industry in 2006. That forecast includes revenue from videogame hardware and software.

As we all know that Playstation 3’s this year exclusive line-up is great and is already helping Sony get some decent sales, But Microsoft seems to be doing nothing in order to get their share from that $47 Billion there is no exclusive that is sure to make a splash this year.

I think Microsoft is already too late even if they announce some exclusives or yet another batch of (Paid For Exclusive DLC’s) they won’t be able to release them this year, I would suggest that we should sit back and relax this year and hope that next year won’t be the same as this.

I am sure Microsoft have some aces up their sleeves but shouldn’t they be rolled out by now.

You say this as if you know how the future is going to pan out. So far, the PS3 is down YoY and hasn't expanded there sales. I am going to say that further down the road they will begin to sell better, but your statement at this point is incorrect.

 

 

most people are comin on to me in this article but i didnt write it!!so be angry at the guy who wrote it...and a little on me!

Could we please stop arguing about this. The facts are that most games are no longer exclusive unless they are first party. That is the only reason remaining to chose a console. ( Yes, I know price too) No one will know the truth for another 15 years. Yes, Sony will probably beat Microsoft when it is all done. This is because the PS3 will probably be in service 5 years after the 360 is dead. But it doesn't really matter. I've said before, 20 million is the magic mark that gaurentees another console. All the consoles this generation have reached that. So why doesn't everyone just be happy with the fact they have 20 million people to play with instead of coming here talking about how their console is better than everyone elses?



I have moved and do not have the internet at home, yet.

Folks, just look at the URL for this article:

http://criousgamer.com/has-xbox-360-excepted-the-defeat-in-2009

"Has Xbox 360 excepted the defeat in 2009". Look, if you can't even type your own address without making an embarassing spelling error, odds are you're not making much of a point. And this is pure flamebait, fanboy garbage.
