Ronster, as much as you like Sega, you "should" also 'hate' them, because much of what caused their demise as a hardware maker was their own fault.

 

They made mistakes yes just like all companys have done at some stage.

But Sega never had the kind of money to throw around to cover up their mistakes like larger "corporations" have.

@ Kowenicki

Do Man City like Man Utd?

Do Tottenham Hotspur like Arsenal?

Do Liverpool like Everton?

Thats the kind of level my hatred for sony is comparable to lol.

 

Is it bad that I did not understand even 1 of those?

OT: I could care less if PS3 beats 360. Mainly because I own neither. My hope is they both do fairly well and that both Sony and Microsoft pull their heads from their asses and start trying to make a profit instead of cutting eachother's throats and trying to go for market  share, this late in the Gen that's not as important - Hint: YOU SHOULD BE MAKING MONEY ON A CONSOLE 3-4 YEARS AFTER IT RELEASES (that's directed at both of them)

 

why i don't own stock? i want fierce and bleeding competition.

cheaper hardware and more quality!.

I think this is important with regard to multi-platform development. A lot of 360 games sacrifice their assets to being no bigger than 6.8 GB (even a game like GTA IV). And like the Ghostbusters devs stated if the game would have been PS3 exclusive they could have acccomplished twice as much onscreen. Similar with regard to online, mutliplatform games provide less powerful online features than top PS3 exclusives.

If games like LittleBigPlanet, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift and Killzone 2 would have been multi-platform I think sacrifices would have been made with regard to online functionality.

I hope Microsoft's next gen console isn't too far away.

Because MS can't have dedicated servers or user created content for download?  Have you not seen the community games?  If anything they would have seen improvements in online functionality given Xbox Live's added features and Microsoft can just as easily add dedicated servers to a game if they want (See: Frontline).

I'm sorry, but again your opinions are wrong.

Killzone 2 didn't have online co-op, a party system, or other alternative modes besides just the standard variants (no zombies or horde mode type things).  Even multiplat games like CoD5 had these things... do you usually not think out your arguments or in your mind does every PS3 exclusive actually appear superior regardless of the facts?

I think they know it both. Although I am not sure if the Xbox360 will be able to pull the complete EDD out of the red, but they were already on the right way, and now the are i9n a very good position to guarantee a successful position for the next round even if Sony would get on their nerves. Sony on the other hand knew that they had a probrlem back in 2004 but they had to do their best not to look like complete idiots. For an error recovery the PS-3 works quite well. But the big problem: What to do in the next version. They are no longer in a position to develop their own hardware. Switch to a normal multi core architecture and again fail to implement a backward capability or stay in a Cell like environment and accept that they will have severe problems to really compete with Nintendo and Microsoft.

As far as I know, MS has been making money off the 360 for some time now.

Get over it. Sony lost this generation and there is no way in hell it will ever catch up, and that's just to the 360...they would have to GIVE away ps3s to catch up to the wii.
