Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil  360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil


All multiplatform games will be bought for my PS3. So don't even mention those.

Also if I was going to buy a new PC to play FFXI again, I would buy a great gaming rig for 1400ish bucks. I don't have 1400ish bucks right now. And I am saving for a car too.

Gears 1 and 2 are obvious choices. Dead rising is possible.

I prefer Wrpgs over Jrpgs. I like first person shooters but I am getting bored of them. I did reserve the prestige modern warfare 2. So no COD4.

What are some other good exclusives? I will buy gears 1 and 2 used asap. I don't really know any other exclusives. Maybe I can try Halo Wars I am an RTS fan. But how is it compared to starcraft?(The end all be all of RTS IMO)



Oh, I also hate everything valve makes. They piss me off. So I refuse to pay for Left 4 Dead or anything they make.

What the hell are you talking about?! PCs are so cheap today that it makes PC gaming cheaper than console gaming.

You can get a great gaming PC for only $500 if you build it yourself.

Did I say you can't build a cheap one? I would want to build something near top of the line. When I buy something, I go for the best.

So you bought a machine that only allows around the low settings of the PC versions?!

Also, that $550 PC is top of the line. There are no longer Desktop PCs over $1000 being sold in the average store.



Since you are such a PS3 fan I would recommend to sell your 360



Hmm.. I play FFXI too and it's part of the reason i got a 360 (it's not as good as the PC version but it works). I'm more of a PS3 fan like you seem to be (didn't like halo3 or fable2, which i own.) Mass Effect would be the first choice but you already got that one. I'd try to score blue dragon and lost odyssey on the cheap they're both pretty good. (you can get BD for $10) both are very 'jrpg'. Gears 1 and 2, LFD, are pretty good, more enjoyable though if you have a friend to play with.
