Lunar Aura said:so then 360 is gonna have a shitty christmas and its gonna languish on shelves until it hits 199? i mean help me out here. help me understand where you are coming from. i wanna see what you see.
PS3 also has 99% backwards compatibility. That might not mean alot years down the road, but it makes a hell of a difference at launch. BC on PS2 was always a top bulletpoint in marketing, and it wouldn't have been there if they knew it wouldn't make a difference (marketing research and whatnot, most likely). Being able to trade in the PS2 (most stores even offer generous "pre next-gen" trade in deals to get reservations) helps alot. Unless you only have Halo1/2, I'd be wary of trading in my Xbox to help off-set the price of the X360. Even then your save files will be stuck on the Xbox hard drive. Well, at first MS said you could transfer, then not. After that, I haven't heard anything further, maybe you can transfer files. That would help precieved value.trmas said:Possibly. Neither will sell well until they see a price cut. But Sony still has the PS2 and PSP to bring in profits, while MS has abandoned the XBox.
trmas said:No, it will not languish on shelves. Hardcore fans will buy anything at any price - the 3DO and Neo Geo were proof enough of that. However, sales are relative. It may sell 10-15 million units the first year at those prices. Possibly twenty with luck, because the market has grown. However, to reach MASS market like the PS2 and PSX did, the prices must come down.
Look at the sales history and you will see what I mean. To reach the $100 million numbers MS are quoting, and Sony has already achieved, the price will have to come down. This usually happens after about two years, when sales stall and software matures.
I'm not saying the 360 is doomed. But it's lead will be much less than MS fans would believe. The numbers may well split 45/40 in America, 50/35 in Europe, and 75/10 in Japan this time around. It will be closer than before. Except in Japan where it will be soundly trounced.
Hmmmm....Remedy said:lets hope both microsoft and sony do there best to destroy each other. Competition is only a good thing for the consumer.
I would hate to think what would happen if sony had a monopoly on the console market, i already know microsoft tactics when it comes to having a monopoly. Those cheeky fuckers at microsoft love charging top wack and screwing there customers for shitty products.
It also gets on my tits when you get cocks like J allard or some prick from sony telling us how they love us and are trying to offer the best service, when in reality they would fuck the consumer for all the money they had if they could.
My point being that alliences to the friends of the devil is of no use to us...
fortified_concept said:Oh for god's sake can you people separate trolling from defending logic?
I mean you have xbox fans claiming that Xbox360 and PS3 will deliver pretty much the same graphics or that it'll be a "close race", when you have developers, games, tech demos, and the whole freaking 90 million PS2 userbase saying otherwise.
Trolling would be a moron saying "OMG XBOX360 IS TEH D00MED!!!". Trolling is not trying to defend some obvious facts.
Like The Take out Bandid said it's all those four damn years the Xbox fans where strutting like a peacock and snobbing PS2 fans as idiots for playing an "inferior console".
Shogmaster said:Oh I'm sure it will. Not only can the SPEs of Cell made to do additional T and L, but I'm sure the RSX will be able to set up and draw more than 500M PPS.
Oh it's not banable. I just noticed it while reading his post and found it amusing... :lolLunar Aura said::lol :lol :lol :lol top whack? UKers rule. dont ban him. that post reminded me of snatch
trmas said:MS will probably have a $5-10 million console lead at the end of the first year. And I honestly think MS could win America this time. But the other territories Sony will probably win over the long run. But you never know.
I will say, I've yet to see Sony make a mistake since they entered the market with the PSX, which is flat amazing.
Exactly which developers are saying this? And not ones that are in the back pocket of Sony either. And when has the userbase of any console actually declare anything that was factual, considering the vast majority of any userbase is not nearly technically inclined enough to make any credible statments that concern console superiority. IMO, that kind of BS in both camps is just laughable.
Did I hit a nerve, I neve said you were trolling. Besides what facts do we know? Sure we can surmise the PS3 is more powerful, but I honestly believe that some feel it is like "next-next generation" powerful, and I just don't see that.
raYne said:Oh it's not banable. I just noticed it while reading his post and found it amusing... :lol
fortified_concept said:Have you actually read the first post of the thread? And it's not just Uchida, other developers have stated that PS3 is considerably more powerful too. Don't ask for link everybody knows these statements.
As for the userbase I was refering to the "close race" claims of some xbox fans, not the graphics difference.
No, I know you weren't refering to me. But some xbox fans keep saying again and again that Sony fans are trolling. Why? Because we don't accept some of their insane claims.
Lunar Aura for example said that he "feels" that the third party support for the two consoles is gonna be almost the same next gen. God knows why he assumed that.
But when someone says "no you're clearly wrong" it's considered a negative comment thus trolling.
ypo said:" I honestly believe that some feel it is like "next-next generation" powerful, and I just don't see that.
" I think what some of the Sony camp believe here, is that the PS3 is a like a magnitude greater technologically."
:lol man people like you and Shogmaster just love to invent hyperboles to "prove" something that doesn't need proving, since you know, they don't exist. I guess if you say it enough it'll somehow stick like "OMG SOnY Said PS2 can do Toy Story graphixx!!"
Why are they insane? Because the claims don't follow the preset path of beliving in what Sony fans "believe" is how the future will unfold?
Davew49 said:Who is to say that won't happen? I mean I am not going to sit here and say MS will make up all the distance between it and Sony left between them the last generation. But hey this is a huge business afterall, maybe MS will make some very smart business moves that will help their 3rdparty support. I feel that they have already made a big step in the fact that they are getting what looks too me, more Japanese 3rdparty support then they had last year at the same time in the XBox life-cycle.

ypo said:Ok, then give me some names, just a couple of those who believe the PS3 is *order of magnitude* more powerful. I mean if there are some people who believe that, than coming up with a couple of names won't be too hard right?
"I didn't invent anything, so just relax, K?"
I don't take anything on here seriously, you on the other hand seems kind of uptight...
fortified_concept said:No, because they have no stand to say these things. I'll further explain below.
Yes, but there's no evidence to it. What third party franchises has xbox succeeded to obtain that PS2 had? Tenchu and FFXI? (i think tenchu was not exclusive I'm not sure) Which companies that didn't support Xbox before showed their loyal support for Xbox360? (don't say Square, FFXI is far from showing support). Don't forget that one of the companies loyal to xbox isn't so loyal anymore. I'm talking about Sega. So I don't see any real progress here. Problem is, that if every fan in this forum says what he "feels" that will happen without any real evidence to it, then we'll end up like teamxbox OA and gamefaqs. So if I say that I "feel" that Xbox360 will be abandoned by most third party developers will you respect my opinion?
But the online of the 360 is amazing and is probably better than the PS3.
....continue please. You're on a roll tonight...MidgarBlowedUp said:Also based on history, Xbox360 will be tapped out very early on and may very well end up being the Dreamcast 2.
raYne said:....continue please. You're on a roll tonight...
MidgarBlowedUp said:PS2 exclusives coming out now look as good as top Xbox games.
Just imagine if Tekken 5 for PS2 was released at the launch of DOA3 for Xbox.
Or, the release of RE4 on PS2 at the same time Ninja Gaiden is released on XBox.
I'm sure many people would have a completely different view about how big the differences in power are for each system. It wouldn't have changed my mind though, I know each system does things better than the other from a technical standpoint.
Or, how about the near future? DOAU vs SCIII
Argue what you will, but both games look equally impressive on a technical level.
The fact is, this generation of consoles ended up on about equal grounds except for the Dreamcast which looked dated as soon as the PS2 was released.
Just imagine Soul Calibur vs Soul Calibur III, there is just absolutely no contest.
This next generation is looking in favor of the PS3, and if history (PS1, PS2) has taught us anything. MGS4 is just the tip of the iceburg for what the PS3 will be doing in the future.
Also based on history, Xbox360 will be tapped out very early on and may very well end up being the Dreamcast 2.
I hold Rumble Roses dear to my heart and penis as a game that had amazing potential.
I'm sure RRXX will look truly incredible on Xbox360, but I can't even imagine it on PS3.
It will be like Poser porn in real-time.
Lunar Aura said:all the 3rd party support that mattered was there. EA, rockstar, UBI, activision, THQ, sega, capcom to some extent, namco to some extent and its only looking BETTER next gen. WTF are u talking about?
Apharmd Battler said:KLeegamefan...why did you start this bullocks?! We could dig up articles and posts and contiue to drag this silly next-gen cat fight out. Look I know I'm hyped for the PS3 and as well as the XBox360 and the now the Revolution. But these tit for tat threads of late have started to become quite old and just a pain in the rear.
Lunar Aura said:cant find it right now but there was a pic while back from an MS 360 conference with a slide of developers on board for the 360. rockstar was dead center of the slide. and i guess you've played frame city killers? how was it? tell us please. 3rd party support was far from bad this gen. look at the gamecube for god sake. I dont see how you cant see that 3rd party support is only looking better than it did last time around for MS. look at all the launch games for fuck sake. there is some really good original stuff in there.

It's only a matter of time until the old "raving mad loony fanboy master of absurd hyberbole" a la the klee that used to pimp the "Ultra 64" in Gamefan breaks lose, although this time for Sony of course.j/k

Besides. Now one is doubting that at the end of the day the PS3 is more powerful. It's just that 360 is powerful enough.
Give me much better online anyday.
