is this what the 360 has freaking come to? expecting a multiplatform game to sell consoles!!?

No, this is what you've come to. The 360 is just a machine so you can't call it out for saying stupid things.



Tease.

Forza 3 is the highest rated driving game in years, thats why they think it may be a game changer

but the REGION it may be a game changer in (EU) has completely gone PS3 crazy

REVIEW ARE NON EVENT

what is needed is marketing (and I havent seen it yet in France outside on internet gaming site)

remember a lot of racing/football fans dont give a shit about video games outside their favorite simulation

without HEAVY marketing just the multiplateform NFshift will be sufficient for Sony to counter FM3.



Time to Work !

also remember the time needed by FIFA to kill PES in europe despite review largy in favor of FIFA
(even if both FIFA and PES have a solid brand name)

FM3 doesn't have the brand name so he will need marketing + bundle to have an effect on hardware.
It all depends on MS

Wishful thinking on both fronts. I do think that 360 will outsell PS3 WW, but only because 360 will outsell PS3 heavily in North America, though it will be beaten in Europe and (duh) Japan. I don't think these game-specific bundles will have much to do with it. Forza 3 and MW2 are only going to sell systems as much as ODST sold systems (i.e. not much). The only thing that will really carry 360 to dominance in North America is it's own brand strength therein.

 

The old litany of "the bubble has/will burst" is as laughable now as it has been. It's an incredibly severe underestimation of the combination of NSMBWii + Price Cut + First year with no shortages

Not realy a suprising outcome as this is a UK website run by a collection of UK game journos. The 360 still have a strong hold in the UK even with the resurgence of the PS3 this still remains the case.

For the UK and probably the US markets the lure of Modern Warfare 2, Forza 3 and Instant on Hd movies (more important for the UK) and the new social updates will together make the 360 a very alluring option for many. The price of course will still be tempting and if Microsoft market this well who knows.

I have spent the day watching old Top Gear episodes and saw my first Forza 3 advert and even though I am resisting this game it keeps drawing me in. If they up the ante on the adverts they will have suckered me in.
