Sony Fanboys always say:
Just wait...

"Wait until..."
"Next year its gonna..."
"The future looks good..."
"I CAN'T WAIT to..."

Big difference:
We enjoy the present.
You hope for something to change.


Last year, over the same period, the PS3Fanboys were saying: "Wait till 2008!! It will fuckin be year of the PS3!!! The game lineup is far superior from the competition! PS3 will rule all!"

Same thing year over year.
Get real.

Microsoft brings the goods each time. They don't need to unveil all their games 1 year early, unlike Sony.
Look at Gears2:
Unveiled in February 2008.
Released in November 2008.


It must be painful to be a Sony fan.
Always hoping for a brighter future.

No. You guys are just as bad. Hello Alex Wake and Halo Wars, missed you in 2008. See you in 2009.

I think yu missed the point of the post. 360 owners dont use wait till Alan Wake as a reason of why the 360 will start outselling the PS3. Oh wait thats because it is outselling the PS3. What the poster meant was that PS3 owners constantly sya that XXXX year or XXXX game will blow 360 sales out of the water. And the last 2 years PS3 has been here it's lost both years.

 

Maybe I'm just picking and choosing what I read but there's only 1 line that even makes reference to the "year of the playstation 3." It's more about the "Delaystation" tone in which he was saying things that got on my nerves. Playstation 3 has released almost every game that was made reference to at E3 this year. Microsoft pull the same crap on a consistant basis as Sony. Look at Too Human, Alex Wake, Halo Wars, and a few others for an example. Microsoft fans don't get overly excited and freak out on forums nearly as much as Sony fans do but it still does happen on an occasion.

Also, a quarter from the year doesn't mean that it outsold it for the year overall. So lets be honest, we all like to pick and choose what we want to hear. And when it comes down to it, Sony and Microsoft will finish the year at relatively the same in sales.

Oh. Also, I was basically defending the fact that I personally enjoy my Ps3 games that are out. I don't think that any of the Sony fans are disappointed with the games that came out tihs year. Yes, We all get hyped up over certain games that are coming out because we're excited over them. And just because we do this, doesn't mean that we don't play the games that have already come out and it doesn't mean that we don't enjoy them just as much as we do hyping new games. And in all honesty, when Gamecube was out and people were saying "hey, this thing is crap. Nintendo are going to never make a console again," they ended up perservering and making a completely new experience. Being in third place could very well help Sony out. And no, this isn't the "Ps4 is going to be the biggest console" comment, it's merely just saying that being in third place tends to inspire a company to just try harder for the next generation.

Also, I recall certain people on the 360 forums pointing out how amazing their games are. And that Tomb Raider Underworld was just as good if not better looking than Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. And that Too Human, Infinite Undiscovery and Last Remnant were going to be the most amazing games of the year. Also saying "Metal Gear Solid IV is going to be ported any day now..." or some other completely straight up crack pot ideas that people on the microsoft forums insist to be the truth and no reviewer, nor gaming site shall tell them otherwise.

I agree with you that M$ do talk about future games. However I disagree with the delaystation part. So many games on PS3 miss their release dates. KZ2 for instance I remember when it was Summer 2007 LOL. GT5 has forever been pushed back as has FF13. Numerous other games have had late releases on PS3 due to dev time. Unfortunatley The PS3 is a delayed console. You would be hard pushed to find any 360 game outside 3 months of it's original target.

 

Those haven't been delayed recently. I had been hearing about 09 releases for Killzone 2 and Gran Turismo (for 2010) since E3. Same with Infamous. And unfortunately, Home will probably end up pushed back. Normally, there is decent quality behind the games that are pushed back so it's not really as big of an issue, I'll just play one of my other dozen games that I need to beat in the first place. I think Sony's main issue with FF is that they didn't push Square Enix nearly enough. I blame it all on Square Enix's indecisiveness over whether to make it a multiplatform. If they'd have announced it sooner than E3, I think FFXIII would have been out by now.

But Sony seem to at least be doing a little better than earlier in the generation (imo).

The other problem is as you mention, the length of development. Imagine if Gears 1 had been in dev as long as KZ2 it most likely would have looked like Gears 2 does. But pretty much have been the same game as originally it was. I'm glad you have games to still play on your PS3, because the owners I know are finding it difficult to want anything other than what they already have. There is to big a gap between the biggies on PS3. And you can quote me but on past record I expect at least 3 of the big games people on this forum state PS3 is getting next year to slip to 2010. Any 360 game M$ say is 2009 on past record I have full confidence. Thats the vision Sony has created for PS3 from my eyes. Very unreliable big game releases, resulting in disappointment.

There is a saying that making people wait to long will have them go elsewhere.
