GTA IV episodic content exclusive to 360
Posts
In PAL regions, the 360 was also sold out after launch, for several weeks/months, where the PS3 has not been sold out at all. Which could well explain those initial quicker sales.
Also, PAL PS3 sales are tailing off, and are currently behind that of the 360. By a significant amount in the UK, where the 360 has been beating PS3 for the last eight weeks; last week by a factor of 3:1, previously 2.5:1, before then 2:1 after the strong initial month of PS3 sales following the launch. Not a position Sony want to be in given they are already seriously behind in sales.
However much we can compare initial launch sales numbers, the PS3 is not competing with the launch 360 in late 2005, it is competing with the steady sales of the 360 in mid 2007 with a killer winter line-up fast approaching, rapidly growing budget library, and Microsoft busy publishing strong first party titles, alongside securing previous high-profile Playstation exclusives, and additional content.
Microsoft are not standing still here waiting for Sony to catch up, they are actively pursuing (and even buying) Sony's previous market. A marketshare which is also, lets not forget, under serious attack from a newly envigorated Nintendo. I'm surprised how... laid back Sony appears about all this.
It was quoted in Newsweek of all places, someone else can dig it up. And yeah it's an XBLA title. The article leaned towards the notion that Microsoft is locking up Namco/Bandai as an exclusive publisher.
with newsweek as the only source, and gaming sites not yet reflecting this, I don't know if I'm so apt to believe it.
ESPECIALLY having seen the video of the guy talking about being excited for implimenting THREEAXIS controls.

At the bottom, on the left: Xbox 360
On the right: PS3
And why wouldn't MGS4 be possible on 360? Seriously, I'm not seeing it.
That doesn't mention graphics. Just says that they could make an MGS4 for the 360.
So, yeah. Lesson here, I guess, is that when news sounds crazy, check the sources before believeing it.
I never got my answer... if the PS3's low sales solely are due to a crappy software lineup, why did the PS2 sell like gangbusters during its first year when its software was even crappier?
Jesus Christ. Go fuck a PS3.
...Sorry...
I just HATE YOU SO MUCH.
I'm kidding, in case you couldn't tell. But get off your high horse and whatnot. It's not like you created the PS3, right?
And even if it was your creation, you'd just be sucking your own cock. And LOVING it.
They could also make a MGS4 for the intellivision or Wii. But for some reason the article doesn't mention that. Probably because that's not what they meant at all.
DVD player? I haven't done a full analysis.
I also seriously doubt than a MGS4 for intellivision would bear any resemblance to the one on show for PS3 in scope or capability. So don't talk dumb. Dur.
Shy guy. Right here buddy. *Grabs crotch*
That's my point. That article was saying that MGS4, as it is, is possible on the 360.
Really? Because I read it and all I saw was that MGS4 could be put on a 360. I didn't read the part where it'd be frame for frame the exact same game without any tweaks or nuances whatsoever.
So what you're saying is that article was saying that MGS4, if designed differently, would be possible on the 360?
Where's the article for the intellivision then?
Kojima has said that the 360 and PS3 are basically the same in what terms of graphics before, you retard. Most developers had said that they are pretty much the same in terms of the graphics they can make.
Although, I must say, this level of intense fanboy flamewar I haven't seen since Genesis vs SNES.
Is Kojima even a programmer and thus able to say such things? Especially comparing a PC to the other 2 when there is no standard spec for a PC? I'm pretty sure I've only ever heard of him designing, directing and producing games.
I'm certain that he would know more about it than some retail jockey.
Yes. He has access to an entire production studio consisting of some of the best coders.
What are you suggesting? I'm confused. Why exactly would you grab your crotch when talking to me? You don't know what I look like, or much about my personality...
Also, you're stupid.
On topic: What if Microsoft paid to make patches 360-only, as well? Well, that'd just be mean.
I'm kinda bummed both the 360 and PS3 don't have blast processing.
A mouth is a mouth, regardless of the surrounding appearance.
Anyway, this is going nowhere. Point is made, MS suck balls. MGS4 would require 16 Xbox 360s to work properly. Shy Guy is gonna be pleasuring me later. Pretty much sums it up. I'm out.
Get back to GTA IV having exclusive DLC for the 360, please.
We don't need to debate MGS4 or GoW or how pretty Kate Beckinsale is.
Certainly no better than even old Splinter Cell : Double Agent;
Let alone the forthcoming Splinter Cell : Conviction.
But hey, still time to work on the MGS4 graphics I guess.
That, or port it to the 360, and take advantage of it's superior graphics card and RAM OLOLZ.
This was up for debate?
Shame on all of you.
Agreed. Sometimes I wish there was a video game version of Godwin's Law, so that whenever a fanboy invokes it, the stupid conversation/flamewar can be laid to rest. For example, whenever a fanboy says something like "Well M$/$ony loves money so they suck" or an anti-Nintendo person says "Well Nintendo is for kiddies", they automatically lose. Heck, go ahead and jail them too.

Coz at some point, I'm going to need a bigger hard drive.
Good question. All signs have pointed to a download.
Although, I'd be shocked if they didn't release a deluxe version later with all the goodies. Think Fable: Lost Chapters, Morrowind: Game of the Year, and so on that re-released with expansion material.

That's been since disproved. Gamespot were earlier talking abotu it being an XBLA game, but now have this correction at the start of their article
So, not downloadable. Might still be an MS exclusive, but I think we have to wait and see.
It'd be nice if to see if namco perhaps put up the previous katamari games up as XBLA downloads though, but that is just me speculating.
Admittadely only one person brought Lair up, but every time it happens my blood starts to boil. I was burnt by Rebel Strike and Battle for Naboo.
