We're bragging about games... Grand Theft Auto IV releasing on the same day as the PS3 version, Resident Evil 5 coming to the console (Xbox never had an RE game), Square Enix making games for the system, getting major PC games on the same day of their PC release (and in some cases the 360 being the lead console), and the list goes on but you get the picture. I would think that games are the most important thing when we're talking about videogames consoles but maybe I'm wrong? As for Japan I doubt Xbox fans really had high hopes considering how poorly the original Xbox did there. But at least Microsoft is paying for some great rpgs and some Japanese companies are also seeing that it's very worthwhile to develop for the system. And the installed base for the 360 in Japan this generation will build on the installed base of the Xbox there. Also we're probably getting what will very likely be the best year so far for the Xbox brand in terms of games. We've already gotten Bioshock, a triple A game that is a likely contender for game of the year, and we have the building hype for Halo 3 as well as many great titles coming out like Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Virtua Fighter 5 online, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, Stranglehold, Rock Band, Guitar Hero 3, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, Project Gotham Racing 4 and many more quality games, is there any wonder why we might be happy? Anyways here's hoping that things cool down for awhile so that not so many thread descends into flame wars like what has been happening the past few months. |
The 360's game lineup is impressive but the 360 fans are the ones who love to piss on the PS3 sales. The slug fest that Sony and Microsoft execs are trading has filtered through and the fanboys on the internet do the same thing. My point being though, given the 360's time on the market it is not exactly in a strong position. 360 fans should enjoy their games, but they are certainly in no position to be trash talking other consoles like they are.
PS3 can lay the same claim about excellent games coming out for the system. UT3 has been optimized for the PS3, Uncharted continues to impress, MGS4 has impressed beyond words, Heavenly Sword is getting positive remarks, Ratchet & Clank is getting positive remarks and the list goes on. Final Fantasy XIII exclusive on the system for 08, and FF Versus XIII exclusve for 09, Gran Turismo 5 looks truly amazing, Killzone 2 has some of the best visuals ever created, LittleBigPlanet has impressed from what we know. All systems are getting AAA games.
The Wii as well, I can say the same again about that system in regards to games.
The 360 fans have been very vocal about the PS3's sales, when their console is not exactly in that strong a position either. What the 360 has going for it is a high attach ratio for certain genres of games i.e shooters.
