that was different as it wasn't compulsory bundle (and it was limited)...this time M$ was forcing forza 2 onto reluctant gamers....victimizing them in a way

 So I guess this holds true for Motorstorm too then.

For one thing Sony is WAY better at design. It shows in the quality of the PS3 compared to the 360. There's almost 0 fail rate on the PS3, one lab even put it in extreme hot and cold conditions for a week and it held up just fine, imagine trying that with the 360. It's more reliable, has better tech, has built in wi fi (99 dollar add on for 360), it plays blu ray disks, it can use higher quality video on exclusives because it has blu ray (the multi platforms don't take as much advantage of the PS3).

MGS4 is amazing btw, don't hate on it unless you've tried it. Its pure win. Sony is going to pass up MS and never look back just like last gen because all the Xbox buyers are the same poor hardcore nerd crowd (if they had money they'd just use a gaming PC for better versions of all the 360 games).

Sony also works as a quality Divx streamer, has a bigger HD, has more and better exclusives coming with a much larger variety of game types. Its just flat out better in every way.

Why in the world would anyone buy a 360 when the PS3 is already out? Boggles the mind.

 Microsoft wouldn't know cool or quality if it smacked them upside the head.  If you want proof buy a windows mobile phone and try it, or a zune for that matter, or vista, its all crap.  The worst MS creation is below though (I promise its not a rick roll, just watch and be amazed.)

*Looks back at news for the week...*

Star Ocean 4 announced for 360, Square Enix states they currently have "no plans" to bring it to the PS3.

The Last Remnant is announced as a 360 timed exclusive that will see a global release at the end of this year.

Sony announced that Eight Days and The Getaway are cancelled.

EA announced work on Red Alert 3 for the PS3 has been put on "hold", which pretty much means it's cancelled.

After a week like that the PS3 fanboys are entitled to a thread to reassure themselves that everything is A-OK but lets not get too delusional with statements like Resistance 2 is more anticipated than Gears 2.

 It seems SONY only cares about having quality(MGS4) over quantity(360) which in terms of sales won't go too well. While they continue to cancel all these exclusives and release only a good game every 6months it won't propel them in sales. As shown for the past month sales btw the PS3 and 360 were very close and for 2-3 weeks now it might sell more than 80k won't make them catch up any sooner.

You do know that JRPGs dont sell too good on the 360 right? The JRPGs that were announced as timed or fully exclusive will not make a difference on hardware sales, all it would do is stop the PS3 from outselling the 360 as much as it would if the PS3 had those JRPGs. Japan doesn't like the 360, and those JRPGs were announced to target the Japanese market, Fact. You really think that with Gears Of War 2, as hugely anticipated like u said earlier, people will stop to play The Last Remnant this winter? I know that u can argue that they r different genres so they are targeting different ppl, true, but based off of the 360's library of games and based on what sells and what doesnt, you really think that new 360 owners would be buying it for their "rpg games" when theres Gears 1,2 Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Orange Box and other GREAT games out there? I dont think so. So like I said, JRPGs going to the 360 will not make a difference on hardware sales (although those games are gonna be great)

Actually, Lost Odyssey has surpassed 700,000 copies sold to consumers and is growing quickly.  Blue Dragon has sold half a million.  The former is definitely profitable, the later must be close.

Do you have any evidence that the PS3 sells JRPG's?

So far the only games closely definable to the genre on that system are Disgaea 3, which has sold 110,000 thousand and Valkyrie Chronicles, which has sold only 130,000.  Granted, these titles are yet to be released in the West, but its doubtful they will meet with success.

I dont get your Gears/Mass Effect/Bioshock argument?  Are you saying the 360's line-up is so strong people wont have time to play JRPG's?  And that this is different for PS3 owners, who with little else to play WILL have time for JRPG's?

 

 

 


 Starcraft just pwned another SONY fanboy!!!!

I don't know if your talking about graphics, but in terms of gameplay, Forza is generally held to be more realistic than GT


I think both are realistic enough in driving. Most people will drive with help anyway. But the cars are not even comparable.

This:
http://www.trsa.org/.dennis/spawn/forza/evo1.jpg

Versus this:
http://techau.tv/blog/images/MitsubishiEvoXinGrandTurismo5HD_13FCB/GT5_evoX_4.jpg

The first looks like GTA comic look the second like real life.

If you do not care about it have fun with Forza. But please.

Besides for picking up steam. Forza2 has almost reached 4 million. Its a really bad day for Gran Turismo if they cannot sell 10 million. So Forza is a nice knock-off but there is a serious class difference.
 Forza 2 a knock off. LOL. It's quite a bit more realistic in terms of racing(notice I didnt say graphics). The tracks however in both arent much different. GT hasnt really moved on in simulation terms. Forza 2 is so hard to get to grips with that the general public probably left this one to the enthusiats of racing. The tuning options available show this.  In Forza 2 you can get data on everything that your car does as your driving, GT5:P lacks on the reality side except graphics.
