Forums - Microsoft - 360 Just got a whole lot better in 2008

One think you guys haven't talked about (I might have missed it in all the ranting) is that for people who don't own either console and want to play GTA IV they will have to pick witch console to buy based own past and present game library and maybe even the downloadable content. So it will be boosting sales for eveyone but it looks like (at least in america) Xbox will get the bigger boost.

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

Why is everyone underestimating Alan friggin' Wake? The previews remind me of the best aspects of the best horror games I've played over the past couple of years. It's not often that I'm completely hyped for a game, but I definitely am for this one.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm pretty stoked for Alan Wake.

Alan Wake looks awsome and is in my top 3 for xbox

 people are as likely to be swing by PAID add-on downloadable content as people by brandname.

other things play a MUCH better role in their decision.

Fallout 3 is console exclusive to the 360?

nope.

http://fallout.bethsoft.com/index.html


Combined with that listing for GTA4, then, this seems like the sort of trick PS3 owners were using last year. Look at the lineups, PS3/360's lineups are both really good!

360:

Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect

PS3:

Uncharted, Rock Band, Call of Duty 4

The 360's Lineup for 08 is not the most diverse and is full of AAA titles that the other 2 consoles will be ready to counter.

Too Human
Banjo Kazooie 3
Gears of War 2
Grand Theft Auto 4 (Exclusive downloadable content)
Alan Wake
Ninja Gaiden 2
Infinite Undiscovery
Fable 2
Left 4 Dead
Last Remnant
Tales of Vesperia

Plus many more amazing Xbox live games

Castle Crashers
Street Figher 2 HD
Ikaruga
Bionic Commando Rearmed

Good lineup. Though, Wii's lineup still outweighs it, and the Ps3's lineup so far is king of 08 with Wii a not so distant 2nd and 360 a not so distant 3rd. All the consoles will have their best year this year! (but I expect Ps3 to beat 360 software a lot this year! Wii software will remain the highest selling this year! Point blank.)



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

and these other things are?

 - exclusive GAMES

- feature(ie: blu-ray playablity)

- backward comp.

- price

- the design of the console (why Gamecube's purple colour failed)

 

in fact, I'd rank that below "controller design"

I mentioned Games as for the rest I agree but I don't think they way on peoples decision as much as you think.

Also stability is an issue which is why I've yet to buy an Xbox (will be getting one soon now thats it a little more stable though)

>1. Too Human, Ninja Gaiden II, GOW 2, GTA 4, Fable 2, Fallout 3

so... that's supposed to be better than.

07: CoD4, AC, Halo3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Orange Box????

I say yeah though is because the first list has more variety and I like rpgs more. I can see buying at least 4 of the first list while I only bought 2 from the second list. Not saying list 2 sucks by any means but for me the first list is better though yes I am baised since I would take gears of war 2 over the whole second list heh.


well, I would personally take FFXIII over any game on xbox ever, but that's hardly subjective speaking.

Yes, last year's titles are more FPS based, but that's what sales on xbox, NG sold horribly on xbox, Too human is unproven, GTA4 and Fallout 3 are multi so the only one that will be sure sell are GoW2 and Fable 2.

You compare that with Halo 3 and CoD4 from last year, it doesn't even come close

Are you living on a cloud? FFXII will not come out till 09.

Ninja Gaiden Sold A million on the Xbox, i dont know what you're getting at.

Too Human is a New IP, so that makes it unproven just like White Knight Story and Little Big Planet on the PS3 are. It's made by a critically acclaimed developer, silicon knights, so it should be good.

GTA4 for 360 will sell like pankakes and outsell the ps3 port by 3-1 in NA... thanks to the EXCLUSIVE content.

If you compare 08 games with Halo 3 and CoD 4..... they don't look come as close.... But heck... the PS3 had nothing in 07 and the 360 08 lineup is much better than ps3s..

 


 the same exclusive content that no one knows about except for tech-o-files like us. The same exclusive content that won't be released until months after the game is out.

When the 360 GTAIV version outsells the PS3 version of GTAIV in NA, it will be because of its user base in NA.

That is a fact. however there may still be a small percentage of people who own both consoles that read forums, who would still choose the 360 version because of this small fact.

I think you are emphasizing the DLC of this game way too much.
