XBox 360 hits 28million mark

[Oculate]

Somehow i think that if the shoe was on the other foot and the PS3 was the lead platform for 95% of multiplats and the Xbox was always getting the sub par ports. You would also be singing the same tune.

So you ps3 owners arent confident in your purchase of the ps3?

Much more confident in the PS3 as opposed to the Xbox360 owners that has this nigling feeling/fear every day whether or not they are going to experience the dreaded RROD today or at any future time, even maybe many times. LOL

/me yawns @ RROD references

That is as 'old' as PS3 exclusives

What claims did I make about life expectancy? Sony and Timgaul made claims not me! I just tagged along with Timgauls calculations.

Doesn't change the fact that you did not look into the subject before making inflammatory comments that were very much incorrect.

BTW As per rumours both SONY and M$ envisage a new gen console by 2012. So Yeah discuss that issues with them.

The key word in that statement is "rumours". There was word from Sony itself not so long ago that the envisioned lifespan of the PS3 was 10 years long. Please avoid referencing "rumors" and "ramblings" from pokey sources. They do nothing for the credibility of an argument.

Wait so the PS2 was showing its age with God of War, and you picked the XBox coz of its hardware that had a 1 in 3 failure rate at the time?

I am of course referring to a comparison of hardware capabilities and technical specifications. RRoD was not a factor at the time nor were reports of how widespread it was.

P.S. I'll remind you that my first 360 is currently still going strong.

Why do I need an Xbox if I an play 99% of all games on the PC and PS3?

Simple. You would only need to buy and maintain one platform instead of all three, thus allowing you to choose the best hardware instead of the one with certain exclusive games (or multiple platforms to avoid missing any exclusives)

Somehow i think that if the shoe was on the other foot and the PS3 was the lead platform for 95% of multiplats and the Xbox was always getting the sub par ports. You would also be singing the same tune.

Porting entire games is lazy. Using the same resources (artwork, models, textures) is fine, but porting an entire codebase from one platform is wrought with perils. I've never said otherwise.

M$
» Xbox 360: 4,735,000

Sony
» PSP: 3,829,500
» PS3: 3,544,100
» PS2: 2,502,700

total 6,046,800 consoles ++ 3,829,500 PSP's

That's 6,406,800 consoles each making how much of a loss again ... ? Or have recouped a litte ... ?

According to VGChartz, for the last year its 1.3million more units, which ain't bad.

Oh no he deeedn't! Oh no he deeeden't!

lol, did he really try to bring up RRoD? N00b, at least the PS3 stalwarts have learnt to actually provide us with something challenging and meaningful.

 

[semiautomatix]

fixed.

What claims did I make about life expectancy? Sony and Timgaul made claims not me! I just tagged along with Timgauls calculations. Sony gave the ten year life expectancy with a 5 year overlap for the release of a next generation console and there is no reason to claim the differ if you look at the PS2's performance. Thats the market strategy of SONY and sure it may change, so maybe ask them. Timgaul brought up the figure of 8 years. Ask him.

BTW As per rumours both SONY and M$ envisage a new gen console by 2012. So Yeah discuss that issues with them.

Yet again, maybe using smaller words:

If we multiply 2million units by the expected 8 years that the PS3 claims to have left we get to a nice round figure of 16million units more (which is almost as many PS3s sold to date). Scary stuff, hey?

Its SONY claiming 10 years not MICROSOFT. You were claiming the XBox 360 would still be competing in that time frame, which is what everyone is claiming is utter nonsense. I was just hypothesizing, I believe the 360 will have a replacement out long before then.

...at least the PS3 stalwarts have learnt to actually provide us with something challenging and meaningful.

Indeed. I feel like I'm repeating myself for one person's benefit. Would be a shame to have to do this every time a new droid joins.

He only sees what he wants to see. That became evident to me in the NAG topic where he accused me of being anti-a-certain-someone because of their surname rather than their actions (which was wildly inaccurate)

 

[semiautomatix]

I prefer exclusives as we can see on KZ2 what difference that can make if the best hardware are used. This porting of titles is a mess for all consoles concerned.

Good gracious, now you're:

a) talking out your a**
b) asking everyone to spend 25k just to be able to play games
c) neglecting the fact that multiplats are better on the XBox 360, the porting of titles is only a mess for the PS3
d) trying to compare exclusives, which is just pointless since there is nothing to compare them with!

 

[semiautomatix]

Hehehe, and Sony is already in piles of debt without trying to subsidise their beloved PS3 and PSP

Hehe, thats right! Not only does he have a stupid surname, but his comments are pointless as well!

But yes, I haven't had this much fun with a n00b since NuckFut. I don't mind

Ja that's nice but where did you get 2 million from? I'm not bashing just wondering . I rather be proven wrong than just told I'm wrong just the way I am It's one of those endearing qualities that xbot's seem to like me so much for

 

[deanstein]

28 million!! I think out of those 28 million i'm by far the happiest! Nothing better than a 360 after a long hard day!

PS 3 can go get paid to suck sony's b@lls... thats the only way its gonna make money! Long live the 360 and microsoft!!

[deanstein]

Hahahaha! And the second cutest is my best friend he's my xbot remote He once told me that he hates sixaxis people as well!!!!

You talk to your controller does it have a name? Oh wait let me guess "your my favouritest controller ever little RROD"

 

[deanstein]

And how did you know!

So please show me these incorrect inflammatory arguments in the correct context.

The key word in that statement is "rumours". There was word from Sony itself not so long ago that the envisioned lifespan of the PS3 was 10 years long. Please avoid referencing "rumors" and "ramblings" from pokey sources. They do nothing for the credibility of an argument.

Thats the exact reason the information was posted here and referenced too. Unfortunately the Xbots think they know better than everyone else, even Sony and M$ and when this was mentioned they come back with thumbsuck arguments and one liners to try and look somewhat intelegent. FAIL.

I am of course referring to a comparison of hardware capabilities and technical specifications. RRoD was not a factor at the time nor were reports of how widespread it was.

Yet when we do post information or refer to hardware capabilities and post the information here then the Xbots show their true colours. I presume from now on that two specific Xbots speak for all of them.

P.S. I'll remind you that my first 360 is currently still going strong.

Just luck. Pray every Day!

Simple. You would only need to buy and maintain one platform instead of all three, thus allowing you to choose the best hardware instead of the one with certain exclusive games (or multiple platforms to avoid missing any exclusives)

So we all know except the Xbot fanatics that the PS3 is the best hardware. Interesting, but dream on

Porting entire games is lazy. Using the same resources (artwork, models, textures) is fine, but porting an entire codebase from one platform is wrought with perils. I've never said otherwise.

One moment multiplats is the way to go then suddenly we change the tune. How convenient. IMHO only exclusives is what will show the real power of the systems. KZ2 is already confirming that fact.

Read between the lines.
