Sony has paid out WAYY more money to more companies than that. So your fact is bull.
| quote: |
Fact 2: Only Paramount and Universal studios are supporting HD-DVD, whereas every single other studio are backing blu-ray! |
That fact isn't a fact either, since actually no studios are supporting HD DVD now. Why? Refer to the note in fact 1.
| quote: | | Fact 4: Sony are working on a dual-layer blu-ray. That's about 100 Gigabytes of space on it! |
If that does happen (which it wont), PS3 wouldn't read it.
Infact, all early adopters of bluray are screwed, as their players won't read newer discs. Sony's response is they took a risk being an early adopter. (Bluray isn't a finalised format yet.)
| quote: | | Fact 5: Our PS3 exclusives are a LOT better than what's seen on 360. Heavenly Sword, Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, Uncharted, Warhawk, I believe Ratchet and Clank, Singstar and the upcoming MGS4: Guns of the Patriots and Resistance 2 (yes, it has actually been confirmed, and likely to be on the ps3 too, since it was so successful first time round) . All of these are PS3 exclusives and they are jolly good to the extreme! |
that's actually not a fact but personal opinion.

Fact 6: This is a quote from the official Playstation magazine of Australia:
"bla bla bla" |
from Playstation magazine? ....
| quote: | | Fact 6: quite a few games you see on 360 originally came from Sony. Take for example, the GTA series. That was very good on Sony. They probably took it onto Xbox to increase sales, but hell, sales were already great at the time! |
GTA series actually originally came from PC. Sony did have an exclusive deal, because they're anti-competitive. (Want more proof of anti-competitiveness? In Australia, retailers were given incentive to resell only bluray products, BUT they had to be exclusively bluray - weren't allowed to sell HD-DVD players/movies.
| quote: | | Fact 7: the PS2 was the second most successful console in 2007 (behind the Nintendo DS). Obviously most of that must have come from selling their PS2's to companies (Gamestop for instance buys and sells everything gaming). to get a PS3. Either that or God of War II got hell popular. |
Admittedly I'm not sure about worldwide stats, but PS2 was out sold by Nintendo DS, Nintendo WII, XBOX 360 in 2007.
| quote: | | Fact 8: Unlike Xbox, Sony isn't trying to confuse studios to move to downloading loads of stuff. It gives people a hell of a lot more on their bill! Who's fault was that that a studio doesn't put half of what they wanted to put in? They either do it on purpose so they are caught in the 'download everything' trap or they're just not that good developers and don't bother putting everything in, but they chuck the leftovers onto the 360's downloading network. |
bluray profile 2.0... web content. so WTF
| quote: | | Fact 9: Does Bill gates REALLY need any more of your money?!? (After failing with Vista, it seems there's a chain reaction that goes to the 360)" |
go learn and read up on sony. already mentioned their anti-competitive practices. Heard of sony rootkit? If not, in short, don't put a Sony Music CD in your pc, unless you want sony spy software installed unknowingly into the background of your pc. There's more.. but meh. |

Fact 6: This is a quote from the official Playstation magazine of Australia:
"While admittedly not attached to any specific game, this is still well worth a gander, as it relates specifically to the hi-def format war and, in particular, to the fact that blu-ray is a bee's dick away from declaring outright victory. Something that Hitler, in this bizarre mesh of scenes from the film Downfall with 'tweaked' subtitles is all too painfully aware of"
As you can see from the text given, this shows that they think Xbox can either get away with tweaking subtitles, or they're having laugh at something that's not funny and that people all around the world are going to buy. NAUGHTY Microsoft.

Fact 8: It seems some 360 studios are running out of ways to make money from their games, so what do they do? yes! They put them on to another console. Yes, I have seen 'Lost Planet: Extreme condition', which is a port of the 360 version (and an old one at that), and it sucks! It looks very dated and shoddy. "We might be going bankrupt because no-one's buying Lost Planet! What do we do?" "I know. We can put it on another console and see if they might move to the 360". Nice idea, bad choice!!!!
Fact 9: Does Bill gates REALLY need any more of your money?!? (After failing with Vista, it seems there's a chain reaction that goes to the 360)"
I also heard recently that toshiba has quit making HD-DVD players, which makes blu-ray the 'bleeding obvious' winner of the format wars. |
well if a facebook group was created, then XBox 360's must really be evil... |

listening to console fanboys argue about platforms is like watching two retards fight over a fruitbox.
all the gaming systems are great, stop being such a tool. |

Sorry for adding to it, but I can't do nothing while someone tries to pass off bull as "facts". |

yeah, i like to stir up the consoles with my pro-PC immature bollocks, but the fact is that every single console helps make the other consoles great through competition.
we are all dependent on that competition to get the very best that's on offer.
in the end it comes down to personal choice and what you're after but to argue that any platform is crap is just retarded. |

haha i cant believe how serious some of you people are. when it comes to the crunch the ps3 has more exclusives coming out of its arse this year:
metal gear solid 4
god of war 3
killzone 2
8 days
resistance 2
i think that short list alone (which is by no means complete) kicks butt over the 360's line up.. ms is in serious trouble. the only exclusive title for 360 that i wish i ever had was gears of war, but one game vs many games made my mind up for me. |

I am only saying my view on the whole thing. Sure they're all good consoles to own, but I'm only saying what I thought of the whole thing. I know you see it differently, but I'm saying it from my point of view. |
