Assassin's Creed Officially Announced for Xbox 360

Assassin's Creed for Xbox 360


Xbox 360 faithfuls rejoice, sing out, do a cartwheel, eat ice cream, dance the cha-cha, and get down on your knees and pray thanks to whoever it is that you pray to, because Ubisoft - the same company that created the Prince of Persia trilogy for the ps2">ps2">PS2 - has finally sent out word to the world that YES, Assassin's Creed WILL be coming to your beloved console as well. Along with these announcement are two screens for the said green and mean machine.

Months of guessing if it will be exclusive for the PS3 and the announcement days ago that the title will be available on the PC may have prompted this follow-up. It has also been noted that the release of Assassin's Creed for the Xbox 360 will coincide with its PS3 release in the first quarter of 2007.

And so Altair marches to an even broader horizon...

Assassin's Creed for Xbox 360

# I Knew ItBaNdItO 2006-08-31 23:46
How could MS not get a deal like this, i wouldnt have minded getting this for my future PS3 (say end of 2007, start of 2008!!! :o ), now i just have to choose, which one has the better graphics and added extras, hmmmmmm.... (Oh yeh by the way, if no-one noticed i bought a 360 not too long ago, and i love it, unlike the last generation, owning one console (PS2, was good, but fanboyish), i can be a true gamer =)

i really hope that the 360 version is better looking. it might happen since devs are probably getting used to the 360 more than the ps3. they had more time to learn the platform

Oh yhea, i hope so also ! ;) This game looks amazing and now it would come on xbox 360 also ! No need to buy a PS3 now, the graphic will probably be better on 360 like #2 said. I'm curious to know if the game on PS3 will be more expensive since it's on blue-ray, i'm really laughing at Sony right now cause of their marketting and THE thing they have created, the PS3 ! haha

So the next exclusive game to PS3 to come on the 360 is MGS4 !! ;P lol

i seriously think alot of you need to question your existence in life. Whoopy-doo its coming to 360. Who gives? im a sony fan, i couldnt give a crap what platform it was on, so longs it appeared on ps3. you people dont like gaming, if u did, you'd be able to appreciate what every compnay is trying to achieve with gaming, not just completely siding with one company and slag off the other just because you've got nothing else better to do with your life

It's kind of funny how the sony peeps talk trash about all things. Like AC ONLY on ps3 *suck it* they say. PS3 is going to have HDMI *eat it* they say. Oh wait what? AC coming to 360 and PC... *It's cool just as long as it's coming out it doesn't matter what consoles it's out for* (hmm fast change isn't it) What's that you say? PS3 won't have the HDMI cable in the packaging?? *It's okay it's not like we need it now we can get it later when we want it* (Wha wha what changing your stance again?) Seems that they can dish out the crap but when it comes to taking some punches they just fold up to the fetal postion. Take a hint Sony just as MS and yes even Nintendo are not a non-profit organization they are in it for the money and lots of it. So yes ps3 will have hdmi abilities but you better believe they're gonna make you pay for it extra. Yes xbox is going to support HD playablility but your gonna have to pay extra for it. Huh Nintendo is going to have a virtual console with downloadable games!! Awesome just pay up. See everyone loves money and yes they will ask for it



Oh umm by the way. I'm very happy AC will come to the 360 because well yea not only will it be considered part of the 2nd generation of games on the 360 but it'll have rumble features as well. Not this 'we don't have rumble becuse it effects the motion sensitivity' rrrright or they're to cheap to settle the lawsuit so they CAN have rumble tech... eh ah well

HDMI is a waste of time. They say it gives a better picture than Component, but it does not. HDMI is just for HDCP for the movie studies to try and stop you copying the content on their next gen dvd formats.

# you're gayGuest 2006-09-01 04:11
wow you guys are intelligent. Though obvious that it was coming to the 360, this only added more fuel to the fire. And seriously, stop taking advice about tech from microsoft. If hdmi didn't matter then why are NEXT-generation electronics pushing it? If 1080p is insignificant then why does it have twice the pixels as 720p?



And last of all, which platform sold most copies of PoP? take a flipping guess.

# ummmGuest 2006-09-01 04:49
Ok so for the longest time AC was supposed to be a PS3 EXCLUSIVE and all the 360 people kinda sat around saying they think it might end up on the 360. Whenever anyone brought up that ubisoft does mult-platform titles MANY ps fan boys jumped up to say not to start rumors. Now that AC is CONFIRMED for the 360 where exactly is your extra money going to? PS fanboys are going to blindly buy a system that doesnt do much to anything more then the 360 and is being run by a company that straight up LIES to get their customer interested. @15 Noone is taking "tech advice from M$ HDMI doesnt matter in terms of playback quality at all to the human eye it is being pushed by the movie industry for HDCP(high-def copy protection) and reviews have showed that for the extra amount money you will pay to get a 1080p tv it is completly not work it. It is better just not $2,000 better. As for PoP selling more copys on ps2, that means absolutely nothing following that same logic Maria Carrey would be the greatest musician of all seeing as how she has sold so many albums right? not quite. It seems to me that if anyone is taking "tech advice" from the wrong source it would be you buying into every thing sony has said to you. So last thing lets say in a year a new HDCP is put togther(quite likely) that allows the use of component video where exactly is all your extra money then? What if blu-ray fails? Either of these things really bring down what that system is so expensive for. So say you buy a ps3 and then HDCP is changed and Blu-ray fails wheres your extra money going?/?? obivously not to console exclusives.(atleast not any that look very great.)

# Who would they sell it to?Guest 2006-09-01 05:21
Come on.it was an obvious choice.if ps3 can pull 2 or 3 million units by march next year, that is not enough for game companies to put exclusivity, they have to sell as many games as they can. and by next year, there will be few playstation 3 machines out there. besides, they have to develop the engine to another platforms as that will be the base for next gen prince of persia.

I sincerely hope that sony can bring out more than just the same old stuff... Personally, I hate *most* rpgs and the jap crap... But I will buy the ps3 anyway, just for motorstorm and GT, but still... look at all the stupid "same old" jap titles...

# Hey XBox guy, why are you here?!Guest 2006-09-01 06:30
9. » 360 People visit your own lame sites!



Every time I look at PS3 stories on PS3 dedicated sites there are always a ton of 360 guys that show up to defend their lame system. I just don't understand it. I don't ever go to 360 sites because the system sucks. There is really nothing that the 360 has that I have interest in (other then the rumble for the controllers). The recent news for Resistance: Fall of Man proves what direction this counsel war is going. The 360 is not really full next gen. It's more like better graphics with a ton of pricey add-ons. 360 guys biggest defense is "at least they gave us a choice." It's not just a blue ray player, you are getting next gen tech. More space means more benefits for games.



I don't care if AC is going to XBOX, at least these guys will have more of a defense other than HALO. Newsflash - HALO sucks. That game really sucks, even if it was on PS it would still suck. I just don't care about spacemen.



Okay, I'm off my soapbox. 360 guys, go to your MS site so you can hear what game are now backward compatible and how much more of your 20 gigs that it will take up to become a little more next gen. I'm curious, when I see the display of 360 in stores are the load times always that long? That's just as long as current gen load times.

So hang on first of all every sony fanboy comes on the nintendo and 360 site saying fu you stupid people ps3 will own all!!! so having 360 people in here is just the same as all the other sites. And anyways you can say any system isn't TRUE next-gen. I mean come on they still haven't made it jump out of the screen and slap you on the face. Wii isn't next-gen cuz it has bad graphics, 360 isn't next gen cuz it's doesn't support 1080p.. or something like that, ps3 isn't next gen cuz they are just making the same games with better graphics

Less than two disc for a game

40GB more on your hard drive

An exclusive other than HALO and GOW

Full Backward Compatiability

40 players online

Free gaming online

Better Load Times

No more pointless add-ons

Resistance: FoM

Warhawk

Heavenly Sword

Motorstorm

Armored Core 4

All Eyetoy titles

Singstar

Killzone 2

MGS 4

FF XIII

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom

Devil May Cry 4

Tekken 6

Gran Turismo



Just imagine how the 360 will look two years from now. It will have a add on dvd, hdmi, wi-fi, 1080p (somehow), more hard drive. - Now we can compare apples to apples, now it looks more like a PS3. Now which one is more expensive again?



Come on say it....."well, at least they give us a choice!"

See what i mean? I've been saying that this will happen 3 months ago. PS3 fanboys no matter what shape or form will have to wake up.



Ubisoft needs to make money. That's all it is. They spent too much on production to make it exclusive to just one system.



Doesn't matter about graphics or high Def. Assassin's Creed for Xbox 360 is great for gamers everywhere. Now we don't have to spend $600 to play it.



The next one will be Metal Gear Solid 4. Watch. Eventually. That game won't stay exclusive that long. I explained this about PS2 and Gamecube with Resident Evil 4. It's going to happen again with MGS 4 no matter what Hideo Kojima says. He's a known liar. It's really up to Konami.

Interesting how Kaz Hirai’s presentation at E3 somehow missed “online multiplayer” as part of the basic free service on the PS3. You should wait untill its confirmed or youll end up like all of those retards who were so certain AC was exclusive.





also No 360 game is on 2 discs yet load times havent been proved as faster and from what ive seen 360 has far better exclusives, in the list of games you mentioned only a few even look decent. if thats all sony has left to brag about now i dont see why people will even bother spending $600 on it.

The only way that this game would look any better on either console would be the resolution that you play it in. I believe Ubisoft is going to make the games practicaly identical in terms of graphics to make multiplatformin g it easier. If you have a 1080p tv for the PS3 then I think in terms of resolution, the PS3 version would look better. That would be the only difference in my opinion.

# #41Guest 2006-09-01 08:17
15GB is for HD-DVD. 360 discs are DVD9 which holds 9GB (actually it's just under 8GB), and initial Blu-ray discs are single-layered and will hold 25GB (which works out at just over 23GB). Dual-layered 50GB discs have yet to be used for movies, therefore don't expect them to be used in games anytime soon.



Anyway, we have no details about Assassin's Creed to make judgements on the quality of the graphics between versions. Will the 360 version require two discs? How much will be available as downloadable content on both consoles? How EXACTLY are they going to use the extra space on Blu-ray discs? etc.



Let's wait and see.

Out of the 20 or so things that I put up that's all you got, the online thing?! Who knows, you may be right. However, if they do charge for it I will still have a ton of other things that the 360 just does not have that I want. Not speaking from a fanboy but from a consumer that's investing in a long term quality product.

Five years down the road the 360 is going to look really crarzy b/c it will have add-ons and cords all over the place. I think that I made my case on which system is better by specs and games.

A few years in the near future will DVD9's be the standard, I doubt it. I also think that 1080p will be a lot more common as well. I don't know if the PS3 will do the 10 years those guys or saying but I'm sure that it will do a lot more than the 360 (screw add-ons).

And how is the cheaper PS3 any better? Except for Blu-ray (where the 360 has an HD-DVD add-on for MOVIES only), those PS3 gamers do not have HDMI, they don't have 60GB HDDs and will have to upgrade just like 360 gamers, they don't have wi-fi so again an add-on is needed, and they don't have support for flash memory cards and will also require an add-on.



1080p is only an advantage if you're talking about 60fps. At 30fps, 1080i looks just as good as 1080p on on a TV which deinterlaces properly.



As for better load times, Blu-ray 2x is actually slower than DVD 12x, it's about the equivalent of a DVD 8x drive (and is rated as DVD 8x in the official specs). Therefore load times will only be better if the HDD is used, but how willing are you to have games dumping GBs of content onto your HDD to speed up load times? And if you're thinking of caching, well it's no different between the two consoles except that gamers with the core 360 don't benefit from disc caching (Oblivion on the 360 caches to the HDD for gamers with a HDD).



In otherwords, don't expect load times to be any better or worse between the 360 and PS3. It will vary from game to game.



As for your games list, the quality of each and what they mean to the console and the gamers is just a matter of opinion.

Sureeeeeeee. Have you heard the reports that 720p may actually be better than 1080i? Please don't compare 1080i to 1080p. If that was the case, then people would just buy those tvs instead of paying high price (like I did) for a 1080p tv (56in Samsung if your curious).

If you have a TV which deinterlaces correctly, then 1080i at 30fps will look as good as 1080p. I didn't make this up, it comes from various Visual/Audio experts who investigate the latest technologies (in this case 1080p TVs) and report their findings in dedicated magazines and websites.



This isn't about PS3 vs 360 (although some will assume it is). The highest HDTV broadcasts are also 1080i, not 1080p, therefore it is important to have a TV that deinterlaces properly.



For example, from Home Theatre Magazine;



Are You Getting All the HDTV Resolution You Expected?:



http://blog.hometheatermag.com/geoffreymorrison/



Aug 7th



"In this case, the only difference between 1080i and 1080p is where the de-interlacing is done. If you send 1080i, the TV de-interlaces it to 1080p. If you send your TV the 1080p signal, the player is de-interlacing the signal. As long as your TV is de-interlacing the 1080i correctly, then there is no difference. Check out this article for more info on that....

... The only time you would see a difference is if you have native 1080p/60 content, which at this point would only come from a PC and maybe the __PS3__. 1080p/60 does have more information than 1080i/30, but unless you're a gamer you will probably never see native 1080p/60 content. It is incredibly unlikely that they will ever broadcast 1080p (too much bandwidth) or that 1080p/60 content will show up on discs (too much storage space and no one is using it to record/film)."



And read the latest responses and replies, eg;

"First, I want to be clear that resolution and interlacing are two completely different things. 1080i and 1080p are exactly the same resolution. This is more a difference of frame rate, really. 1080i has 30 different frames, and these are interlaced (split in half if you will), and flashed on the screen fast enough that your brain combines them into full frames. 1080p is (as far as we're talking) 60 different frames per second. So there are, as far as the format goes, twice as many frames as 1080i. What the last post discussed is that as far as HD DVD and Blu-ray are concerned, those extra frames are created by the player, and not in the source. So in this case there is basically no (Ok Aron, very, very slight) difference between 1080i and 1080p, as long as the de-interlacing is done correctly."

# So to summarise post #54,Guest 2006-09-01 09:33
Fin, if your 56" Samsung TV deinterlaces properly, then HDTV broadcasts at 1080i and 360/PS3 games running at 1080i and 30fps will look GREAT on your TV, just as good as 1080p running at the same framerate.



However, to see your TV at it's best, you'll need to be playing a PS3 game at 1080p and running at 60fps.

HDMI-- sold seperatly

1080p--- is only better if it's 1080p/60fps

Less than two disc for a game-- no 360 game spans over 1 disc

40GB more on your hard drive-- with the nice one

An exclusive other than HALO and GOW-- something other than FF or MGS

Full Backward Compatiability-- eh got me there

40 players online-- yet to be proven

Free gaming online-- yet to be proven

Better Load Times-- once again yet to be proven and judging by numbers perhaps not

No more pointless add-ons-- haha you are talking about sony right

Resistance: FoM-- looks cool i'll be playing it

Warhawk-- you like this game?

Heavenly Sword-- N3

Motorstorm-- looks cool

Lair-- won't come out for a year or so

Armored Core 4-- haha your kidding right

All Eyetoy titles-- ms it getting a camera too oh my

Singstar-- haha

Killzone 2-- got to bring it up GoW

Virtua Fighter 5-- wow up to 5 already

Gran Turismo-- PGR



now granted I left alot to my opinion but your only bring up your opinon too. So as you can see you don't like some ms games i don't like some sony games. Well I know I don't like some ms games and I know I like some sony games. I'm sure you can say the same. I'm getting the PS3 but right now it seems that at LAUNCH there's really only about 2 hopefully more are worthwhile. Remember I said LAUNCH

ok now calm down everyone. You don't see... Sony have something big coming. It's not a coincidence that Sony doesn't care about multiplatform company to do exclusive games. They have come up with something that ad a big + to every games. Sure there's the online stuff but there are an other thing we don't know wet. Wait for TGS.



Sony are not Stupid ;)



By the way I'm sure GOW will be on PS3 next year, Saint Row too.

All those games you listed are crap except for a few. You lost all credibility as soon as you mentioned Singstar.



If the only games Xbox has are GoW and Halo, then the only titles PS3 has are FF and MGS.



Oh yeah, and Oblivion is a quality game, it fits on half a DVD9...

# to 39Guest 2006-09-01 10:54
what exactly are you proving to me?



have i ever said that Assassin's Creed would be PS3 exclusive? no i didn't. i've always said that i thought it was multi-platform, but Sony was probably trying to secure exclusive rights. Ubisoft kept mum about other possible versions until negotions with Sony were ironed out. and at worst, it would be a timed exclusive. i didn't think it would be a simultaneous release. that is the only area in which i was wrong.



whether or not MGS4 goes multiplatform is not an issue, since i plan on owning a PS3 regardless. basically, the multiplatform announcement is good for the 5 million 360 owners out there that now don't have to shell out $600 for a PS3 and Assassin's Creed. that's good news for 360 owners. but i'm still purchasing my PS3 this year, so any titles that are multiplatform that interest me will be bought for my PS3. there's no point in 360 owners buying a PS3 if they don't want one, and no point in PS3 owners buying a 360 if they don't want one.



and i shouldn't have to remind you that the PS2 has sold 100 million units *plus*, while the original X Box has only sold 25 million units. the Playstation has a huge following. the PS1 and PS2 sold 10 million units in their first years. after that first year and price drops, the console went on to sell the above mentioned total of over 100 million. so far, in it's first year, the X Box 360 is only halfway to 10 million units. it has roughly 2 months to sell 5 million more units. if it was a bigger success in Japan, it would have met that number already.



in it's first year, i'm pretty positive that the PS3 can meet it's 10 million unit mark by November 17, 2007 or very close to it (about 8 to 9 million). why i can predict that is because we know that all 3 territories (US, UK, and Japan) really like the Playstation brand. also taking into account that most Europeans had to pay over $500 USD for their PS2's they aren't unaccustomed to paying over $300/$400 for their consoles.



the people who see value in the PS3 will purchase one. period. it is Sony's job to promote that value to it's audience. if you doubt the loyalty of Playstation fans, look at how rabidly they purchased PS2s during it's launch, regardless of the fact that the PS2 launch titles were atrocious. the PS3 is actually shaping up to have a very good launch (with some suprisingly quality exclusives), and a promise of having even more quality exclusives next year (Heavenly Sword, Naughty Dog Game, MGS4, FFXIII, Virtua Fighter 5, and Tekken 6, to name a few).



you have to acknowledge that some of the most classic games in gaming history were created by the Japanese (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Castlevania, Street Fighter, Sonic the Hedgehog, Metal Gear, Contra, Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur, Tekken, Ninja Gaiden) and if the 360 doesn't make some waves over there soon, as many Japanese developers that have pledged support will pull it. same applies to the PS3. after 2007, developers all over will finally decide who they want to throw their development dollars behind. we've seen it with the NES/Master System, SNES/Genesis, PS1/N64/Saturn, and Dreamcast/PS2/GC/X Box.



the reason why the 360 is getting Japanese support for now is to try and kickstart some interest overseas. yes, Dead Rising has done well over here and in Europe, but not in Japan. the title could have easily pushed over 1 million units if the Japanese owned 360s. the PS3 will have that hurdle to jump also, and by the end of 2007, we'll have a clearer picture of where the PS3 could be going. as will developers, who know more about business than a bunch of speculators on the internet (me included).

Ubisoft confirms that it is PS3 exclusive again and again, and yet, so many Xbots are in denial that they rather believe rumors than official words from Ubisoft. Lol. Pathetic. Everyone know it won't be coming to the 360 as the 360 will never be able to handle such graphics, physics, and AI.

You guys are idiots. Saying that Assasin's Creed is not exclusive for the PS3 is the same as saying MGS4 is not exclusive for the PS3. Until there's confirmation otherwise, IT IS EXCLUSIVE. Wish all you want and deny all you want, but Assasin's Creed will NEVER come to the 360.

# in 5 years time...THE ROADIE 2006-09-01 13:04
In 5 years time we will be playing on the 3rd generation of Xbox, so all these arguments about disc sizes, HDMI and 1080p are redundant. I would rather have those items on the consoles when theres plenty of TVs in the TV market with those specs to choose from, not now, when when there are hardly any TVs with those specs about. I also respect Microsoft for the addons. If i don't want a HD-DVD drive, then i dont have to pay for it, if i dont want wi-fi, i dont have to pay for it, unlike with the PS3 where you have to pay for it even if its of absolutely no use to you whatsoever.

# Figboy you missed the point.Guest 2006-09-01 16:10
You see what I mean? I'm not here to persuade you NOT to buy a PS3. I'm just saying that ANY game is not safe EXCEPT for first party Nintendo games. It's been proven with Resident Evil 4, Grand Theft Auto, and now Assassin's Creed.



Figboy's blabber became a wall of text. Keep it concise and to the point. I'm not going to read that. You're still getting a PS3 because you're a huge Sony fanboy. But for millions of gamers like myself, buying a Wii and a 360 is now much more attractive.



You guys keep on talking about specs, hi def TV, and how many consoles Sony might sell. That $hit doesn't matter. All systems are capable of doing great graphics. Yep even Nintendo Wii. It reached a saturation point.



How many times I gotta say it to you Sony fanboys? PS3 SPECS DON'T MEAN $HIT. Yes we know it's powerful, but IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GAMES.



Multiplatform games will put PS3 in third place. I don't want Sony to fail. That's bad for the videogame industry as a whole. But losing these titles is a HUGE blow.



Graphical differences? who gives a $hit? It's still the same game with same story, same gameplay and on par graphics. Being on PS3 makes it look better? Man. PS3 is competing with the PC, remember? Home consoles will NEVER BEAT PC in graphic's power. NEVER.

# Wow..Guest 2006-09-01 18:19
Well, it's not all that suprising, I'm actually glad that this game will be released on the PC and 360 so that millions of other gamers are able to appreciate what looks to be a killer app.



Chances are that the 360 version of the game won't be as good looking as the PC and PS3 counterparts but nevertheless it's coming out baby!



I'll be getting my copy on PS3 - Why am I not getting it on 360? I don't know, I'd rather my PS3 had the opportunity... HDMI output .. .droooool





#65: The only thing that'll put Sony in Third place is if they stopped making the Playstation. Multiplatform games are a great way to reach all audiences It by no means ruins a consoles life.... Those of us who will be and are multiconsole owners have the choice of what port we play... As for me, Any multiplatform title will be purchased on PS3... Why? Better hardware.



PS3 still has the best Exclusive franchises, not to mention the biggest and more of them coming. Nintendo Wii, well.. that's a different story they are not in the same boat...



Xbox360? It's been out for a year and all we have seen are mediocre titles... nothing next-gen at all... This is where PS3 comes in...



You can argue that Games will never look as good as PC titles, but champ... in 3 years time, they'll give the PC a run for its money. The only way Consoles will be inferior to PC's is when a PC is equip't with 4 or more graphics cards... in which case a minority of gamers will have and therefore games are downsized.... Consoles games are not. PC's are a great platform but when it comes to gaming... Consoles are alot more intuitive and innovative - And these days that's what defines a game... not how pretty it looks.

Listen, playin assasins creed in 1080p will look no different than playing it in 1080i. It matters how the source information is. For example, if something is filmed with a 1080i camera, when motion is introduced, it only captures 576 lines at an instance in time. This causes motion artifacts to show in the picture. With video games, the image is rendered progressively, meaning you can feed it through a "1080i" signal, and it will make no difference on screen because all 1080 lines of the signal are there.

# Wow! Assasins Creed looks really bad on the 360!Guest 2006-09-01 19:11
Just look at the resolution, anti-aliasing, lighting and shader details. To me it looks like a pc game from about 4 or 5 years ago.



As a pc gamer 720p is a such a big let down for me, I've been playing at much higher resolutions for over 5 years now. I'm really glad Sony had the balls to go with such a high res that is actually an increase over my pc.



Interlacing is such an old trick that should be dead and buried by now, we are talking pre 1950's tech here.



I'm actually glad that this is coming out for both consoles as it should serve as a decent benchmark for comparisons between the two.

I want to see some actual gameplay of this before I get hyped about it because at this point you cant really tell if this game is going to be good or bad so all the fan boy celebrating should cool down a bit as well as the "wow this game looks bad on 360" everyone is entitle to their opinion but still, dont get me wrong Im glad another punch has been swiftly delievered to the gut of the ps3, but the way the game looks isnt enough to get me excited about it a whole lot either, so lets wait and see some updates on the game it self (features, vids, story etc) then we will know if its worth coming to the 360

I hope you realize that 99% of PS3 games announced so far are running at 720p.

# *sigh* #65Guest 2006-09-02 09:56
what? i'm a fanboy because i like Ratchet and Clank? Sly Cooper? Mark of Kri? God of War? Jak and Daxter? Metal Gear Solid? Final Fantasy? because i like good *****ing video games? whatever. you're being ignorant.



i'm buying a PS3 because, unlike my X Box, i know Sony isn't going to abandon the PS3 after 4 years to focus on the next big thing.



Sony has earned my trust in these past ten years because some of my favorite current gaming experiences have happened on Playstation consoles (prior to that it was on the NES/SNES/Genesis).



i bought the original X Box about 2 years ago, only to have Microsoft say, "Yeah, to those that own an X Box, if you want the sequels and followups to your favorite X Box games, you'll have to get an X Box 360!" if i had known that prior to getting my X Box, i would have saved that $200 and put it on a 360 instead. basically, i don't trust Microsoft. how do i know that in another 4 years they won't drop the 360 like a bad habit to promote their *next* console? leaving late 360 buyers in the dust? i don't. and that's why i'm not getting a 360 until there are more killer games for it that i *CAN'T* get on my PC.



when did i mention specs? i didn't. i mentioned sales because they directly, and i repeat *DIRECTLY* relate to console exclusives. look at the past two generations of gaming: *SALES DICTATE EXCLUSIVES*. period. the PS2, despite being inferior to it's competition got most of the exclusives because of it's high penetration. buy the end of it's first year, it was in 10 million homes, with even more room to grow, and that made developers comfortable with putting out exclusive titles on that console. whenever they went multi-platform, the PS2 would sell more units than the other versions, so they decided to cut their losses and go PS2 only (look at the Silent Hill series, for example: 1 was on PS1, 2 was multiplatform, 3 was PS2 only, and 4 was multiplatform. the titles that were multi-platform sold better on the PS2).



i haven't said anything about the PS3's power in my previous post, so i don't know why you brought it up. what i don't understand is why ignorant people like you want to hop on somebodies case for stating their opinion (and a lot more maturely than you), and automatically label anyone who likes Sony products as a "Sony fanboy." Sony has been the winning horse for two generations in a row. why wouldn't i back them still? looking at the launch titles (7 of them i want: 4 are exclusive), i already see justification in my purchase.



considering that i plan on owning an HD TV really soon, a $600 High Def movie player appeals to me. i like all of the functionality i get with the PS3 much like how i like the functionality in the PSP. it's not for everybody, and i understand that, and just keep on trucking with what i like. the PS3 is a choice. you, nor anybody else that doesn't want one doesn't have to purchase one. why does it matter that i like Sony and want a PS3? damn, you're more into my preferences than *I* am. relax.



i didn't read the rest of your post since you don't have the common decency to read mine, so i don't know what other "points" you were trying to make, and i don't care. i'm going to purchase my PS3 (along with 2 million other Sony fans) this November, and in the near future, i'm going to purchase a Wii and an X Box 360.



i've been playing video games since 1985. i'm a *GAMER*, and whether or not you get that through your thick skull matters nothing to me. i don't have an allegiences to *consoles*. just games. deal with your own issues and leave me out of it. enjoy what you enjoy, and i'll enjoy what i enjoy. no raining on peoples parades for me.

# blurayGuest 2006-09-03 09:52
ok enough with comparing bluray and its billion gigawatts of storage compared to the 360. NO GAME ever reaches past 1 disc unless its full of fmv or mutlilanguage. sony wont be using the full 25 gigs on the bluray for the games so sony faboys get over your power trip. the point of all that extra space is so that the developers can throw in all their languages (multiple audio and video and text) onto that 1 single disk in order to save on production cost and release in multi territories. so basically sony would be giving a dvd9 sized game 3 times over on 1 disk, there is your bluray's large storage.
