What about Final Fantasy XIII in japan? That is surely going to sell a truck load of PS3s fast.



Around the Network

In short: #$%#$% that little white box. That's not a gaming console, it's a toy that husabands buy bored housewives to keep them from cheating with the pool boy.

Or for a slightly more realistic comparision: My tiger handheld toy from 1989 is better than your xbox360....The point, the tiger units (every iteration combined) probably have sold more than the 360...but it doesn't mean that its a competent gaming platform. From everything I've read, most of the gamers out there agree on this point.

So at this point, I'm not sure if your serious or being ironic. If its the latter, well played; you had me fooled.

I'm hoping when its all said and done I can say read this post again and say "No truer words have been spoken."

The major problem here is it could also sell a truckload of 360's in the states.

I believe the conversation was about the year 2009. FFXIII will not be on the PS360 out of Japan until 2010.

 



i'm sure microsoft will have a big announcement at E3 this year...probably another warranty extension.

A PS360 where can I get one of those? Clever....

Anyways it's close enough and could effect buying trends in the comming months, so I would say its arguably relevant to the discussion.

The ps3 is going to ousell all when all is said and done you just wait and see then i will laugh at all of you for calling me a fool for speaking the truth

 

I doubt that. Being a PS3 owner, I hope not. I like the fact that its really expensive too. In terms of sales the 360 will most likely remain king and all us Sony fan boys should just get over it. This is not a satyrical remark either, I really mean that.

The ps3 has an install base of 22 million consoles give or take and its only 8 million behind the 360 so the gap really isn't that big. Whoever said that the general public don't like the PS3 isn't looking at the numbers (not saying that Vgchartz numbers are the most accurate and may differ depending on where you look. I'm not a $%$#$%ing statiscian.) Those are pretty good numbers, not as well as they should be, but good enough to make sure that the big black car seat will be around to annoy MS fans for years to come.

Secondly, as long as the price stays jacked up that means that snot nosed little kids won't be able to convince their Mommies and Daddies to buy them this system and they will get a 360 or Wii. If my logic holds true, then that means that the number of people on my list to kill for being trolls, in game, are less and the world is a safer place.

PS3 is the best because it has less mornons...NOW BELIEVE!

 

Last time I checked the Wii is the king in terms of sale.

we know this and acknowledge it, okay. but the discussion that is interesting is the one between the PS3& 360 

 

But still it's not the king of sales right?

I keep seeing your crazy posts everywhere, and I gotta say, you're adorable! Keep it up!

 

Anyway.... Throwing out a list of PS3 exclusives and using them as proof this is FINALLY the PS3's year just doesn't work. People seem to assume that because Wii and 360's 2009 lineups are fairly empty now, then nothing will come about. E3 will change that. Nintendo and Microsoft will announce their 2nd half games and then we can say whose year it might be. It's not going to be about how they've started, but how they stand at the end of the year.

 

And if it all comes down to exclusive games and how much we enjoy them, it's all subjective. If it comes down to sales of all three machines, then Wii will still win. If it comes down to the HD battle, then I suggest the Sony fanboys stop writing Microsoft off and banging on about how Sony has the advantage or holds all the cards or whatever. This is the calm before the storm that will be E3. Maybe we should all come back after that and talk about where we think the games of the next 6 months of 09 will take us and the platform holders!

The PS3 has by far the most hyped lineup for '09 and even into '10. Theres so many great games coming out.

I wasn't even looking forward to God of War III but I am now after getting Chains of Olympus on the PSP.

only the bolded statement is actually right, but still hype=/=quality and so far it has been proved that this statement is right.

 

Yeah a lot of games that have been hyped have done badly, so I made sure to say most hyped rather than best.

Theres a couple that will be good for sure like Gran Turismo 5 and God of War III. Its games like Heavy Rain and Infamous that could go either way.

King to the discussion that matters...... not implying the wii doesn't matter, more that talking about it is boring because it will take first ..... its like talking about how much the patriots will cheat we all know it will be massive, we just dont care anymore ..... go jets
