unlike the PS3 which is now just shy of breaking even

What's your source on that?

 I'm quite skeptical about that statement seeing how an expensive BD player in PS3 and because of there unplanned price drops this year and because their software sales have been very poor.

-Splinter Cell: Conviction
pc multi.

-2 more Mass Effect games (Bioware said it's a trilogy and they're going to try to get all of them out this generation)
-Halo Wars (and Peter Jackson's Halo project)

these 3 probably also will go pc.

-A new Perfect Dark that is actually a sequel to the original (not a prequel) and goes back to that version's gritty, realistic look.
this might be to stay exclusive.

so 4 from 5 games will be probably on PC. Then why buy x360, which also has RROD issue?
not to mention, you don`t need to pay for online, to play on PC.

@MrPickles:

Can you remove games wich also comes to PC?
Or i should buy x360 just because i can play most of it`s games on PC?

There is NO logic.

 

#1-Right, so Gears of War, Bioshock, and Halo don't count because they're all also on PC?  Even though the console version outsells it by a wide margin, and they are franchises that are associated with the Xbox?  I guess UT3 and The Agency don't count, either, then.

#2-So now unnannounced, rumoured PC games come into this?  If we're going by rumours, I guess we can toss Kotor 3, Crackdown 2, and Dead Rising 2 onto the 360 list, then.

#3-Most people (myself included) prefer to play these games on a console.  Not everyone does, of course, but most people, when there is a particular game they want to play, and they have both a pc and the console the game is on, will go for the console version.  Why?  Because for the console version, you are guaranteed that youu don't need to spend a couple hundred on upgrades, and you aren't going to get some random virus or anything that crashes the game.

 #4-Real smooth, bringing the RROD topic up when we're talking about the exclusive games.



Also, some people just like the convenience of pressing the power button and having the game start up in 5 seconds, rather than waiting for the computer to turn on, then finding where the game is, then waiting for it to boot up.

I guess UT3 and The Agency don't count, either, then.

lol, who count them? =))
i HOPE you do understand, that EACH PC multiplatofrm game make x360 LESS attractive? =)

Well how many Bioware games you know, which weren`t release on PC? =)
Anyway, Bioware are now with EA, EA do you undertand? :)
and ok, halo wars is exclusive. BIG DEAL.

Most people buy/uprgade PC instead x360, because it has very little chance to BREAK, while over 30% of x360 has RROD. You choise RROD? Then you are LOL.

RROD makes effect on CHOSING between x360 and PC. Don`t you understand that???

5 sec, oh great, what about



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

Well I hope it doesn't happen that you are predicting, the more the merrier



...this thread is epic fail.

The OP starts with a Wall of Text, full of grammar and spelling errors.

Then it mutates into a full-blown console war. Which of course will go nowhere.

Good job for the flame post.



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

Well how many Bioware games you know, which weren`t release on PC? =)
Anyway, Bioware are now with EA, EA do you undertand? :)  Yes, I understand.  So what?  How does having a new publisher affect them whatsoever.  They have already stated that the ME franchise is exclusive to Xbox (and yes, possibly PC down the line)
and ok, halo wars is exclusive. BIG DEAL.

Most people buy/uprgade PC instead x360, because it has very little chance to BREAK, while over 30% of x360 has RROD. You choise RROD? Then you are LOL.  That's very intelligent of you, insulting me personally.  Congratulations.  Notice how I did nothing of the sort to you?

RROD makes effect on CHOSING (It is spelled 'choosing') between x360 and PC. Don`t you understand that???Didn't make a difference for anybody I know.  All of them have high-end gaming PCs, and yet they also chose to buy Xbox 360's.  Only 1 of my good friends bought the PC version of Bioshock, because he couldn't afford a 360 at the time, the rest all bought the 360 version.  Isn't that wierd?

5 sec, oh great, what about <2 weeks waiting for x360 from getting repaired?
Also some people just like not paying for playing online.

DEAL with it, x360 is FAILURE everywhere except USA, BUT USA STILL to get KZ2, GT5, MGS4, FFXIII, R2, M2, gow3, LBP. Then we will see how x360 will do.Once again, see my previous, incomplete list.  As I said, of course the PS3 is getting some fantastic games, but it really is fanboyism to say that the 360 is not

Not to mention, what a consumer will choise, when ps3 40GB will cost same as x360 premium Microsoft will not let this happen.  They can already afford a nice price drop if they want it, and by the time Sony cuts development costs enough for PS3 to allow another price cut, they will be able drop the 360 again by just as much? =))


Also, notice how I didn't insult the PS3 in any of my posts?  That's called intelligent discussion.

I also edit my posts after I write them.

QFT.  I'm beginning to think that you could combine all the fail on the interwebz and it still would be less than the fail in this thread alone.

People forget that Microsoft doesn't need to win, they just need to beat Sony.  If a bear is chasing you, you don't have to outrun the bear, just the people around you.
