Oh please, you can't deny the 360 version is going to make mincemeat of the PS3 version. 3:1, 4:1, who knows, who cares. Who's going to associate GTA with Playstation? No-one. Not any more. That's power you can't buy, which is ironic because its bought power.

 


nokay


LOL this guy sounds like sharky more and more.

Well one thing thats undeniable is a fair amount of people are going to make a big decision soon, price on the 360 vs PS franchise comfort zone.

Microsoft buys a winning hand again.


Price not worth the benefit, though. It won't stop PS3's momentum, and it won't stop the fact that 360 is on the harsh downhill in 2 of 3 regions, and won't sustain better-than-PS3 sales in NA for long.

PS3 version has better graphics, said IGN.

360's lack of mandatory hdd limited what Rockstar could do with GTAIV, said Rockstar.

Pathetic.


Care to provide a link for that statement?


 I believe he is referring to the comment made on IGN that the 360 has brighter colors (which a lot of 360 games do/ this could be taken to mean their are darker shadows in the PS3 version)

but more importantly IGN then said,  the aliasing is better on the PS3 version.

which from a simple graphical comparison standpoint is kind of a big deal. 

but IMO it pales in comparison to the DLC for the 360, when the different advantages for each version are taken into consideration.

If a link is absolutely necesary, I am sure someone can find the source. 


That's not a confirmation.

you do realize both wil have DLC, M$ just bought 2 massive DLC packs.


Well obviously not. Now I do though.

More DLC > Less DLC.

Fixed.


DLC which costs more money sounds a lot like expansion pack to me. As any PC gamer knows there are a lot of expansion packs that are not worth the cash.

So Vice City and San Andreas were not worth the cash?  They are generally viewed as expansions to GTA 3.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I cant see anybody choosing to buy a 360 over a PS3 because of this DLC. That's what this guy from Sony is saying and imo he is absolutely right. The most important factor in what persuades a GTA buyer to choose which console to play it on is going to be which other games are being released on the console. There is absolutely no doubt at all that the titles being released on the PS3 from now on will appeal to current PS2 owners more than what the 360 has to offer.

"He might be saying it's poor compared to Forza 2.  I just looked on Metacritic and GT5 Prologue has an average of 82 from 12 critics while Forza 2 has a 90 from 56 critics.  Add in the fact that review scores generally go down over time and it does beg the question that maybe the gimped racing title with the big sales might just be coasting along on it's name."

Its a demo. Do you understand that? Its a demo thats being released about a year before the full version. WTF are you on comparing it to a full release title a year before its finished?

 Er.. thanks for your comments? But your predictions lost you all your credibility, come on, you think the 360 is going to sell 3m from now till end of 2008? *sigh*
