buy 2k games...... or EA. (the ps3 can't win in america if they don't have madden)

Are you kidding me? Why do you even care if the PS3 wins or loses? You get Madden either way.

 

Plus seriously, Madden isn't that big anymore. I doubt the lack of Madden would collapse the PS3. It would be the bigger loss of all the rest of EAs intellectual Properties.

 

Though I don't know why I care one way or another, the only reason your so sex nuts over the XBOX360 is because your 15 and cant afford to experience gaming in its entirety.

 

OT: This is ok, but the 3 Red Lights podcast already talked to Kim and asked him the same question months ago, and he said it wont happen, stated some bull about different currency exchange rates and that one MS point will get you the same from America to South Africa.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

This space Reserved for the Nuggets of Wisdom dropped by Bladeforce:

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

I probably wouldn't approach off the street as thats retarded.

But if we met at a social event I'd ask him what games he likes to play and what game is he most proud to have on his companies console.

Maybe ask him if he knows any future titles coming out that may interest gamers next year...

I'd guess they learned their lesson with Rare, there is no reason buying a developer if:

1) They are overpriced

2) All the talent is gonna leave

All you're left with is a bunch of franchises but no talented people to work on them.

 He'll let you in on a secret and tell you that the new Resident Evil game is coming to the 360 as well. He'll act surprised when you tell him you've already known that for the past couple of years though.
