| Million said: I'm pretty much a semi active user and most of the time I spend on this website is done reading other people's posts , it's pretty shocking to see the volume of ignorant , ill informed , un-justified posts that are thrown about about by fanboys on these forums to give their console's credibility. I'll adress some misconceptions that annoy me the most.
==> are u paid for this job ? are u a pro to claim u will "adress" ? -There's no way the XBOX 360 can have an install base of 17 Million even if the faliure rate is a high as 10% (with reports claiming it to be as much as 33%) then the install base could not possibly be more than 16 Million. ==> I dont see any evidence here. Whatever, it is hard to say anything escept a Xbox360 break significatively more often than a PS3/Wii -Third Parties Hugley Benefit from the Wii despite the success of it's 1st party titles ( I used to believe otherwise until looking at the raw data) ==> possible since Wii's third party games cost nothing. -Hardly anyone that matters ( the consumer ) knows anything about DLC for the 360 , however I still beliieve the 360 version will outsell the PS3 version by a significant margin. ==> it is obvious considering the install base. In fact, PS3 owners will buy GTA4 on PS3 and Xbox360 owners will buy GTA4 on Xbox360 ... -SSBB is not going to sell 200 trillion units , it's not as significant a game as many people on these forums make it out to be , they are allowing they're love for the game to bloat their sales estimates. ==> I agree, SSBB is not Wiifit/Wiisport but it is still selling very well. -BC really isn't all that important in PS3's , yes the Japanese went crazy for em on ebay when they BC PS3's where phased out in Japan but they don't represent the whole market. The cost of a 40Gb PS2 + PS2 is less than a 60GB ( it is the UK anyway) Plus if you love BC so much maybe the PS3 isn't for you. ==> I agree -MS Doesn't have a chance of doing anything in Japan , Not this Year , Proly Not '09, Maybe 2010 if they really invested money into JRPG's ,anime games etc. ==> try Xbox720 maybe. -MS WILL NOT release an "XBOX 720" until at least 2011 , considering the R&D cost's , profitability from this generation , shareholder confidence , decreased consumer confidence. It's not like MS can say "oh Sony's fanbase is bigger than ours now let's just release 720 , that'll kill em" It doesn't work like that. ==> I agree. -PS3 Has alota cool exclusives this year but it's not like the 360 hasn't got it's fair share of killer exclusives to , do the proper research before putting down MS's lineup. ==> speculation, except GTA4/Gearofwar, and some multiplateform game (who said FarCry2?), there is nothing to counter Sony. Too much PC games, not enought console games. It is why GTA4 is so important. (this time madden will run at 60 FPS on PS3 too ^^) Well ok some of them aren't misconceptions , some are debatable but cmon....VG |
