lol this is almost as much gold as that anti-Obama guy in the Sony threads right now.
Almost.

"Sinking Ship" lol - pure gold.

I guess Nintendo doesn't exist in MS world

 

they do mention nintendo, saying:

"With third-party game sales for Xbox 360 increasing from $298 million in November to $504 million in December, it’s no surprise that Xbox 360 has generated more life-to-date dollars at retail for third-party publishers than the PS3 and Wii combined. "

 

thats pretty blunt.... I may not agree with the thread title, but it is clear MS has something to be proud of. also as explained in other threads, who cares about the wii? we all know it will be number one most sales on all fronts by the time the gen is over. the reason we talk about the 360& PS3 is because that is still an interesting argument where things could change. now if you want i can paste this either in my sig or to the bottom of everything I post. even with doing that hough someone will still mention the wii is owning when its not relevent to the current topic. 

Yep, they pretty much confirmed 3rd parties are making more money on the Wii now than they do on the 360 (else they wouldn't have used that term)

X360 has everything in their advantage at this point.

1. Price
2. Momemtum
3. Advertising
4. Third part support (ie, exclusive DLC and superior ports)
5. Live, NXE, Netflix

6. Exclusive games! (yes, I said it)

Sony fanboys keep saying X360 has weak exclusives in 2009 compared to the PS3. Well, you go tell me this is a weak lineup?

1. Halo Wars
2. Star Ocean 4
3. Ninja Blade
4. Halo ODST
5. Mass Effect 2
6. Forza 3
7. Alan Wake
8. At least one new RARE game (New Perfect Dark/KI3???)
9. Splinter Cell Conviction
10. APB

BTW, Microsoft will be announcing more exclusives at GDC and E3 this year. So their full lineup will be more awesome.

Having said that, PS3 lineup is equally impressive. I will be buying KZ2, Infamous, Uncharted 2, GOW3, GT5.

sigh i only used that to show MS acknowledged Nintendo existence as the first post said MS didnt care. I posted in my post yes we all know Nintendo will  dominate, but we are interested in the closer race between MS& sony, no where in there did I say on nintendo 3rd parties were doing poorly.

just trying to keep these discussions about ps3 vs 360

Imagine, Microsoft and Sony standing on the prow of the titanic, the wind whipping around their faces...
