Well, I do have to admit that you sure didn't do a very good job with your last post. |
How's this?
You're talking about the past Paul, lol. Living in the past, hoping for the future, bro.
You're leaving out major information, like how the 360 still has way more 90 and 80 plus games on metacritic and gamerankings, than the PS3.
Like how Resistance 2 and LBP flopped in sales, and R2 flopped in reviews.
Like how NPD came out yesterday, and the 360 outsold it 2 to 1.
Like how the PS3 can't sell software.
Like how you listed all the good exclusives you could think of on the PS3 in 4 lines.
Like how Gears 2 sold more than Gears 1, and how it's a better game than Gears 1, obviously. That said, I'm not sure Resistance 2 is better than the demo to Gears 1. It's certainly arguable. Having played both games, I can comment. You can't, sir.
Here is the truth, Paul. Metacritic doesn't matter. It isn't an indication of quality. That said, what you do is called "cherrypicking." You know what that means? It means that you don't consistantly refer to one of them, you switch them around to make it appear that the PS3 games were reviewed better than they actually were, and the 360 games, worse. When metacritic doesn't agree with you, you use IGN, when IGN doesn't agree with you, you use gamerankings, when gamerankings doesn't agree, you use something else. It's all just talk. Reviews mean very little already, and I can make any game look like the best game ever by cherrypicking reviews....if I'm talking to idiots that is. If I'm talking to intelligent people, they recognize the cherrypicking for what it is. Bias.
Sales matter. LBP, R2, MGS4, and all those games don't really have great sales, bro. The PS3 is increasing its lead, but what are those PS3 owners buying? Certainly not LBP or R2.
You see, as long as the 360 sells software better, equal, or slightly worse than the PS3, it'll get equal treatment in the marketplace from 3rd parties.
What you're saying is so impossible that it's a joke. You're so mislead and stubborn, that it's impossible to communitcate to you how incorrect your assumptions are. Your brain is just hard-wired to not listen to reason.
Every prediction you've ever made hasn't came true, and buddy, I could quote a few. If you predict something, it actually increases the chances that it won't happen.
The PS3 exclusives of 08 have came an went, and guess what. 2008 wasn't the year of the PS3. Those games didn't change anything, and most of them are currently being seen as failures by Sony. It doesn't matter what the metacritic score is, if the game loses money.
I just don't see where you're coming from. The PS2 was the best gaming system of its day. It monumentally blew away its competition with games and sales.
Now the PS3 is in dead last, 3rd place for software and hardware sales. It's struggling there. It's not in a prone position to take second. Days are grim. The Xbox 360 is leading the way in console exclusive ratings, according to your prescious metacritic and IGN. The best games on the PS3, according to them, sold ranging from fair to horrible.
The console is still unbelievably over-priced, and now you're telling me that the only way the PS3 is gonna take second place is if Microsoft puts out a new console next year!?
Yet, you spin it to make it seem like the PS3 is blowing every other console out of the water with its success? How. Explain. Explain how the PS3 isn't a failure.
