Correct me if I am wrong...but I do not think grossing over $320 million in the U.S. alone is considered a box office failure. I really don't understand his Spider-Man 3 comparison at all, especially because the movie has done phenomenally outside the U.S. as well. This guy's bias is so bad that it hurts.

Yeah, I'm not sure how Spider-Man 3 was disappointing.  On Yahoo Movies, It shows SP3 as the 15th all time best box office seller in the US.  Damn, I'm glad I had nothing to do with making that movie.

 The guy does seem quite bias.  I love my Wii, but I think overhyping it is uncalled for.

At different points, people wanted ports of Tie Fighter (to the SNES/Genesis),


Please understand the Snes had a very limited amount of memory and a very slow procesor for its time. Wanting top PC games ported at the time, would be like demanding a Crysis port to the Nintendo Wii today.

The PS3 on the other hand has a large amount of memory and a very fast processor for its time, which if used properly can yield much greater results regarding gaming and multimedia than high end PCs can provide.

I'd say somewhere between 75 to 90 percent of games that supposedly cannot be ported really cannot be ported without some cut backs.


There's an enormous gap between if a developing company claims Crysis cannot be done on a 48k ZX Spectrum, Snes or Nintendo Wii as compared to claiming Crysis cannot be done on a PS3 or Doom cannot be done on an Amiga in 1993.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales
