How about the MMO first person shooter Huxley(360 and PC)? If I'm correct, you play with MUCH more than 256 players.

Huxley...On the X360. Donnybrook Project..On the X360.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
Yeah, XBOX has a 5.5 million lead.
They also had a 7.5 million lead 41 weeks ago.
And Mii's a ripoff of Gamercard? lolz.
No matter how you spin it, constantly being outsold by the higher priced competitor with (arguably) worse online, (arguably) weaker library, and more screw ups than Britney Spears doesn't bode well for the system.

surely thats only and only, purely because of a near 15 month head start in the field? if i can remeber correctly it was 6,5000,000 lead earlier on which has now come down. and over the coarse of 2009 will continue to come down. |
yeah.. that was about one year ago... The PS3 took 1 year to gain one million units on the 360..
At this rate it will be five more years till the PS3 outsells the 360 WW

I guess I stand corrected then. Although I have not heard anything in regards to Huxley on 360 in quite some time. Is the Nov 2008 release date still standing?

Also just to point out, I was reading up on Huxley. It says 100 vs 100 in the PC version. 360 will most likely do a maximum of 60 vs 60. Numerous sites state the 360 version as 120 player online. Big difference between that and 256.
As for Donnybrook Project, I googled it and found 1 article. Is it going by a different name or has it vanished? Honestly, until you mentioned it, I never heard of it.
In all honesty though, Huxley looks nice. Questing and leveling. :)

It doesn't make sense to deny the current situation the way you are, or the way Microsoft does. MS recently was quoted saying that Sony didn't have any momentum going this year, then they generated some statistics to suggest that they were still ahead of the PS3 about as much as they were right after the PS3 launched. You can bend those statistics to say whatever the hell you want -- by chosing start points and stop points, by comparing specific items rather than overall performance, and by chosing your data so as to mitigate the results from recent trends and highlight past trends. And you see MS do this week over week.
We need to step back and say, "Microsoft unquestionably crushed Sony through the end of 2007, even world wide. But for the first 7 months of 2008 Sony has crushed Microsoft even if you look primarily at Microsoft's sole strong market. What can be done about this? What's going wrong?"
That's what I'm asking.

Oh come on. PS3's first year was atrocious, don't act like u don't know about that. Fact is, PS3 managed to make up 1 mil with a HORRIBLE "false start" with all of the negative press and doom books being written (OK only one) about the PS3's failure and it still managed to get 1 mil. Saying that it'll take 5 more years to catch up is just ludicrous. It has already outsold the 360 by 1 and half million this year, so by ur statement, the 360 would have to outsell the PS3 by half a mil. from now till the end of the year, and everybody know, that's not happening.

And it's not like the Playstation 3 has the brand recognition of the 3DO. This is the Playstation brand name we're talking about. 130 million units sold last gen, remember? Brand name isn't the be-all end-all, but it does play a part of having a hardcore fanbase that is willing to blindly purchase a system despite atrocious decisions by the manufacturer. Sega Saturn, N64, and the Gamecube all similar failures in design, yet sold better than they should of thanks to being backed by Sega, and Nintendo. Had the Xbox 360 had the same design of the PS3, but the MS name (and vice versa), the 360 would have easily been the worst failure in gaming history.
