Looks like the 4th mysterious XBOX 360 will be a Halo version of the game console!!! Seen it... and it look ok, I guess... They could've made something so awesome. I think the kept the paint job too simple. If they want a clue of what a great special edition might look like :  Ok, that's a Wii with a Zelda mod.. but you get the point  Speaking of 360, I have a box coming my way. I have to return the damn thing because of the dreaded ring of death. It least I'm still covered! I though I wouldn't be, it's been more than a year! Thank you M$! | | | | Last edited: by RossRoy |

| | Posted: | | | | Where is the link to the article stating that MGS 4 is definitely going strictly PS3, Konami has been waffling on this decision over the last month from what I have read!!!
Killzone 2 does indeed look very sharp and I think Lair will offer up something different and it certainly looks promising so far!!!
Having said that, the new Halo 3 footage from E3 looks awesome!!! | | | | My Collection!!! | | | | Last edited: by Calidain |

Quick post before I get some rest...
Killzone 2 a hit! How can you already call a game that isnt being released till next year a hit? Quote:
MGS4 is definitely an exclusive! And still isnt coming out this year! Quote:
Unreal Tournament 3 an EXCLUSIVE THIS YEAR (w/ keyboard and mouse support)! A console exclusive for a few months. Here are some more next gen console exclusives all released THIS YEAR (heres a clue, they arent exclusive to PS3 or Wii): Halo 3 Project Gotham Racing 4 Mass Effect BioShock Splinter Cell 5 GTA IV's 2 DLC episodes Ace Combat 6 Eternal Sonata Lost Oydessy Blue Dragon Viva Pinata 2 Seeing as you love pie charts and stats so much how are these:  Retail game sales since the ps3 launch (yes thats 8.8 million for wii, 18.1 million for 360 and 4 million for PS3)  2/3 of all next gen 3rd-party game sales are 360  Number of 3rd party titles in the overall top ten selling games per month since Nov 06 Damn I wish I had sold my 360 and bought a PS3... | | | | Last edited: by stefc |

| | Posted: | | | | We all know Microsoft only had information on this year. I guess that's all in the way of exclusives for a LONG time. We should all know why those charts reflect ONLY what MS wanted to reflect. PS3 = 15 1st party and 1 - 3rd party exclusive games by March. That's WAY more than the 10 or so the Xbox 360 will have by that period. Not to mention the other 100 games on the PS3 between now and then. That is MORE than enough content to justify a PS3 purchase. Then there is @Home and LIVE stream content that's coming to the PS3. Unreal Tournament 3 will be only of the PS3 for the ENTIRE HOLIDAY SEASON. Then, there is exclusive keyboard & mouse support (PC gamers will eat this up) and exclusive map creating abilities. Killzone 2 is a hit with the game reporters so far. I phrased it differently now because I should have been more specific I guess. The line-up for the Xbox 360 is really nice. I just think the PS3's line-up for now and the future is better. Especially with the reliability issues with the Xbox360, even the 3 year warranty doesn't stop people from being afraid that their consoles will stop working. Then they have THINGS LIKE THIS to worry about at MS. | | | To err is human...

Having said that, the new Halo 3 footage from E3 looks awesome!!! Kojima got on stage at E3 and said that via a translator. That's how I know MGS4 is definitely going to be strictly PS3. | | | To err is human...

Dumbest statement of the day. UT3 will launch on PC and PS3 on the exact same day in November giving it about a month and half of console exclusivity. "Exclusive keyboard and mouse support" - why would PC gamers "eat this up"? They'll buy UT3 for PC and they've had mouse and keyboard support on PC for quite some time now!! If theres no PC version with the map editor how else can users make the maps for PS3? In the end UT3 on PS3 will sell a fraction of what Gears of War sold on 360, and a micro-fraction of what Halo 3 will sell. You can dream all you like but if you have an iota of intelligence you know that a very niche twitch PC shooter will not translate to the PS3 crowd very well. |

I was in Best Buy on Tuesday and they still had their nice pile of PS3s sitting on the floor just like they did the week before. The $100 price cut will attract some people but there are still those that won't buy one because there aren't enough titles out. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Wii could top record-holding PS2. First, the Wii would have to prove it's not a fad. That would take about 2 years. Fashion has about the shortest fad times...about a year. The Wii isn't even a year old, yet. I believe the Wii platform wasn't even built to have a 4 year lifespan...much less a 6 to 8 year run. They would have to sell a LOT more consoles than they are selling now to reach the 117 million and still going champion of consoles. Does anyone really think the Wii can sustain current sales for that length of time? | | | To err is human...

They will buy it for their prefered format...the PC. If you didn't want to consider PC Games, which is what it seems you are trying to say now, you should not have included that statement. I DID say "PC gamers will eat this up." If you look from the aspect of just NEXT-GEN consoles, that would mean the people that has or planning on getting the associated next-gen console. Ex. I'm a PC gamer. I had a X360 and now I have a PS3. I am eating this keyboard and mouse announcement up, because of the amount of control I will have in this game.
