People see that and they still don't believe it. They dream MGS4 and FF13 will come to the 360, when they won't. When Snake holds a sixaxis in his hands, the decision has been made!

ff13 and mgs4 will suck...

there will be a big disappointment among fans...

these series are doomed to death...

 

addendum:

think about a spin off like pokemon this week...

-in japan

-the only decent final fantasy for psp is behind a spinoff of pokemon...

soon or later this series will die...

you'd better accomodate to this pals...

 

 


What the hell man?...That must have been sarcasm, because thats INSANE!

FF and MGS, two of the world's greatest video game franchises...


 not really...

i mean...

 

-final fantasy is strong in japan.

 -that was the only decent FF on psp...

-the pokemon game is not one of the main series.

but still ff lost against pokemon...in japan...

 the series is dying...



the series started dieing after they didnt release 11 like it did, 5 year gap before 12, only to be dissapointed with that (well me and others were, some loved it)



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Point was that i've based my opinion without using facts or logical thinking, like you.

Whoa.......

 I'm sure FF is more than decent   

Either way, FFXIII may suck, but it's highly unlikely...same with MGS4

They need to lower the prices as soon as they can become time passes and people make their minds... Plus not everyone has time/money for multiple consoles. So some people end up buying just one and ignore the others.

If Sony don't do anything quick I think it'll be too late for them. Even if some really great games such as FFXII and MGS4 comes out, it won't be enough to convince people to get it. Price is a major factor.

Fear not, the PS3 will do fine. Sony is doing the right thing - getting those PS3s out there, upgrading the online service, lowering costs, etc. The first year of a console, you want to sell 6 - 8 million worldwide, no more - the more you sell, the bigger your loss. Sony will hit this target easily. That's why they geared their marketing to appeal to the hardcore media folks, instead of ordinary gamers. Once the $399 model and a bunch of great games comes out in 2008, mass sales will take off. Until then, Sony will continue to sell boatloads of PS2s and rake in the dough.

Microsoft has one card to play: Halo. That's their main franchise. It will be a wonderful game, it'll sell like mad, but it's just one game.

If I were in Microsoft's shoes. I'd be deeply worried. Despite the price cut and Halomania, sales are still nowhere near what they should be. The 360 is going nowhere in Japan and the rest of East Asia, and European sales are unimpressive outside of the UK.


I would say opposite, almost passing the wii (NA sales) BEFORE the release of halo is a huge sign. Sales are doing quite fine, id be more worried for ps3, ill tell you right now, you want to sell more, selling less is only tempting more game developers to jump the multi ship.

I dont think they need to be worried. Yes halo is their main card, but they have just created quite a few new ones, we can expect a bioshock 2 within the consoles life, and Gears of War 2 of course. They still have fable 2, which should add on, including new big hits like Mass effect. You cannot say that 360 only has Halo, sorry you cant, like saying ps3 only has GT 5, its foolish and stupid.

You talk that European sales are unimpressive, yet its outselling the ps3, in a more ps3 love land.

We just saw a huge drop in ps3 sales in NA, and a big boost in 360 sales.

I agree with you on the fear not though, ps3 will do fine most likely, and i hope it does, and 360 and ps3 sales = at the end. But i think MS is not screwed like you have stated, halo is halo your right, but its not the only weapon


 x360 will do well but only for the pc games alike...

 

soon or after console gamers will come to boring of those games...

bs2,gow2,fm3...and so on...

next year or later pc will catch x360 and pass on graphics...

 

then pc gamers will return or thei beloved pcs...

the only advantage is that Darth Gates forced developers on pc/x360 platform...

prove is carnack "love" for directx...

the one that loved so much  linux and open gl now istantly loves so much directx...

the force is strong...

Point was that i've based my opinion without using facts or logical thinking, like you.

 so i tell you the basis of my opinion...

 the basis are:

-time.

-money. 

 

ps3 now cannot have good games in useful times.

and when they will arrive nobody can assure square enix or konami or capcom of earning due the installed base. 

 

when ps2 arrived it' was the only(dreamcast was dying...and sega with it),and dvd was the only format.

 

ps3 instaed has wii as rival and 6 million x360 to reach...

bluray to large base consumers has more or less the appeal of hd dvd...

for large base consumers 1080p or 720p is not that difference(they rarely even notice a difference...)

ps3 has to fight on price with x360... 

the situation is very different...

 

and this situation will affect also your beloved series...

 I agree.

 but this FF is only one game...

how much they can count on Final fantasy fanboys???

they cannot count on them forever...

 

when nintendo started to lose core fan boys  they "invented" the blue ocean...( and forgot core fan...and they will pay this)

now that this time arrived also for square...

KH is an answer...

KH has a good fanboy base...

but still KH is going multi...

sony cannot count on those fanboys...

Hus was on a thin line for some time now, he's been temporarily banned numerous times, and I warned him not to go overboard again. Calling people "xbots" repeatedly as well as generally trolling for the past month awards him a permaban.

 

No offence but that very hypocritical of you or the site rules.  Theres a thread right now "attention all x-bots" and its not looked on as a insult and a mod posted it took no issue with "xbot"

 Generally trolling is very vague statement, just about everything can be viewd as trolling to someone else.  It seems like the big driving force behind the permaban is quite unfair and petty of you.

 

 

 


 Funny that you show up as a new member immediately after Hus is banned though and immediately start taking issue with his situation, defending what he did and acting as his advocate.

It is rather peculiar.  Let's hope you can behave yourself this time.
