Microsoft set to destroy Apple in every games market (Download Squad)

Mar 8th 2010 7:42AM You obviously missed the point of the article. MS has set it up so that all you have to do is program for one system then remap the buttons for the other system and "viola" it is done. They have the software to make it playable across the platforms, saving you time in recoding and making your game available to many more people. Second, not everyone that plays a game in one format is going to play it in another I agree with you on that but. There are millions of people that play only phone games and do not own a console and vice versa. SO for example if you wanted to sell the game Zuma, which is available on Xbox Live now there are millions of new people that will be able to play it on their phone or PC becasue it was coded for one game and made playable on several. Got it?

MLB 09 The Show performs 45% better than 08 edition (Joystiq Playstation)

Apr 16th 2009 11:09PM NPD only tracks sales in the US, but obviously not all those preorders turned into sales or they were over inflated numbers. It is unfortunate because that was suppose to be a "AAA" console selling title and as usual it did not happen.

November '08 sales decline blamed on 40GB's successful '07 introduction (Joystiq Playstation)

Jan 6th 2009 8:35PM And for god sakes grow up and stop using the "Xbox360 was released a year sooner" excuse. The Wii was released a year after the 360 and has surpassed the 360 by millions.

Jan 6th 2009 8:30PM Give me one INTELIGENT reason that makes you think that the PS3 will ever close that gap. Not some Fanboy we rock you suck reason but something intelligent. Here I will help you with one way I could see the PS3 catching up. Eventually Blu-ray will become as common place as the DVD player and people might be more inclined to buy the PS3 instead of a stand alone player. You see that is a nonfanboyish intelligent reason. Can u give me one of your own?

Jan 6th 2009 8:26PM Actually if you knew what you were talking about you would know that if it were not for the few games that were made by Japanese developers the 360 would not sell a single 360 in Japan. Blue dragon and Lost Odyssey helped the 360 to have the best sales months ever in Japan. Capcoms Dead rising, Devil May Cry, Bionic Commando, Lost planet, etc etc, have all done unbelievably well on the 360. Trust me there is no Developer out there afraid to make games for the 360 because if it is done well it sells well.

Jan 6th 2009 6:12PM BTW, I think it is hilarious that when support for Netflix was first announced for Xbox every PS3fanboy ridiculed it saying it was stupid and a waste, and now a couple months later so many PS3er's would like it added to their console. Haters.

Jan 6th 2009 6:08PM 8 million consoles is a HUGE deal. Look at it this way. The PS3 did not sell 8 million PS3's in an entire year, so if MS does not sell another 360 for an entire year the PS3 would not close the gap. But that is a very tiny bit of Sony's problem. The real problem is that even when blockbuster "console selling" games like LBP, Resistance pretty much anything that is not MGS related flops in sales it sends a message to 3rd party developers to be careful when making games for PS3. That is where you make your money. Not from selling consoles.

Voice chat temporarily disabled in Home 1.04 (Joystiq Playstation)

Dec 18th 2008 6:56PM Chat is eating up the bandwith? Jesus what an embarrasing comment to make. Yeah I am so sad that I have to pay $50 a YEAR to have real infrastructure. Your system looks more and more like a bad joke every new post.

Reeves: PS3 is '300,000 units ahead of Xbox 360' in PAL territories (Joystiq Playstation)

Dec 4th 2008 5:27PM A 300,000 console lead is crap when you consider the 360 has a 5 million console lead here in the US. And not to mention that miniscule lead is being closed very fast..... http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/360-enjoys-highest-sales-month-ever-in-europe

NPD: PS3 sells 190k units in October (Joystiq Playstation)

Nov 13th 2008 9:09PM Fable released the 21st. That is a difference of 6 days. LBP could have release on the first of the month and not sold as many copies! LOL
