I regret coming off as a fanboy but I do have a bias, as everyone does. I’ve never played MGS and was just basing my viewpoints on sheer sale numbers.

As far as the whole “matching sales” and previous market leaders, the PS2 was on the market un-opposed (I refuse to count the gamecube as competion) for many years before the xbox even exsisted, thus establishing an un-beatable market lead. And as far as the “people complining about over-advanced technology”, this never occured with the original xbox even though it was more advanced (not much though). as far as the xbox having a sales lead; the wii was released at the same time and it should surpass the xbox 360 in sales ver quickly. You cannot base future sales on past sales as the gaming demographic has changed and market competion is different.

Well the PS2 may be outselling all other consoles this is what a cheap price tag, extremly long market lead/establishment, and cheap parents who don’t know what they’re buying get you… fact!

The “nasy measely xbox fate” and MGS/halo comparisons are OPINION – many people think the xbox was a good console and if it was so bad, they woulden’t make a second one… fact!

and your “crazy titles” coming out is an opionion, and thats a fact.

I do, however agree with you that console bashing is un-nessisary unless it has a valid point.

I got an Xbox 360 for one reason and one reason alone. Games and Gameplay, and amazing online. Games like Gears, Oblivion, Graw(much better than SOCOM IMO) , Mass Effect, Bioshock, Too Human, Halo Wars, Halo 3, Forza 2, R6:Vegas, Dead Rising, Crackdown, C&C3, PGR 3&4, Fable 2. I mean I dont want that many games for any other console. Not even an eighth of alll those games.

Halo is extremely fun and if you think every game in the series falied to innovate shooters in any ways or games in any way for that matter. i can gaurentee you havent played halo for more than 10 minutes. Halo 1 brought simple mechanics,and vehicle warfare to shooters. Halo 2 brought a (still to this day, with the exception of Halo 3)unrivalled matchmaking, and lobby&party system. Halo 3 further improved the matchmaking syetm. Allows you to replay any multiplayer match from any angle at any play speed. It allows you to fully (I mean completely and entirely) modify game mode settings entirely (from player speed to gravity to what special characteristics recently spawned person has. And thats just the beta. Also the single player graphics are supposed to be considerably better than MP graphics.

-360 had a 1 yr head start…fact!

-The PS2s launch was identical to the PS3s, and everyone was bashing the console for the exact same reasons back then as well: lack of good games, hard to develop for, too expensive etc… yet that didn’t stop it from pwning the competition…and continuing to do so even today…fact! (The PS2 is currently still outselling both the xbox 360 & the Wii! c: http://www.techspot.com/news/25009-wii-sales-up-playstation-2-still-in-the-lead.html)

-Based on sales figures of the two consoles, the PS3 is doing just as well as the 360 did during it’s first year around when overlapping sales figures…fact! (There wasn’t even any competition around for the 360 back then for a whole year! talk about weak sales! The PS3 has to deal with two rivaling consoles)

The 360 may be outselling the PS3 in total sales and securing it’s spot in the lead at the moment, but eventually it will meet the same fate as the original xbox,which was around for a measly 3 years before the release of the 360, if not worse. (Which saw the release of both Halos exclusively, mind you, and couldn’t even manage to put a dent in the PS2s overall domination over the market). “History repeats itself” ring any bells anyone?

I’ve finished both Halos 1 & 2 on Legendary and thought the two provided for some excellent FPS experiences both online and off… but I think it’s absolutely insane to even compare Halo with MGS… especially MGS4! Metal Gear Solid owns hands down by far! (And currently Kojima has no, i repeat, no plans for a port of MGS4 to the 360, none what so ever as has been stated by the man himself)

So all you bashing the PS3 should really just lay off and chill… there’s no point in rushing the inevitable…if you really are that fond of your xboxes you should, instead, be savoring these moments of superiority before you find yourselves deciding on when it is you’ll be grabbing ps3s if you already haven’t got one that is.

There are gonna be some really crazy ass titles coming up soon, so just sit tight and enjoy the show!

[not intended as flam bait, but rather to keep all the false claims and PS3 bashing at bay, and set the record straight once and for all]

To #67, Bungie screwed up with halo 2, we all know. But no one knows about the story mode yet, not even you. And i’m pretty sure the multiplayer mode is what makes it one of the best selling games in history.

To #69, once again THIS IS A BETA, no one can get that through their head and keep insulting it for that reason. Also, you said it will not kick sony’s but. it obviously won’t kill them, but the 4 million pre-orders from gamestop alone speaks for itself, regardless of how bad/good the game is. As far as the latter of your comment, opinons prove nothing.
