Irresistable: Resistance: Fall of Man - Image 1The numbers are now in for Europe's software charts, and it seems like the Europeans are having a grand time catching up on the things they missed out on Sony's PS3. And apparently, they just can't resist Insomniac Games' Resistance: Fall of Man, as the game tops in Italy and Spain.

Meanwhile, Germany's official chart positions have yet to be finalized, although Media Control GfK International has proclaimed Resistance, MotorStorm and F1 Championship Edition as the winners for this round.

» hmmm

I can't imagine why all those PS3 games are there. Oh wait. They sold 600,000 consoles with only 25 games available, and most of them sucking.



I guess that's why some developers are still making games for the PS3. Even a sh*tty game can be a best seller!

» 360 will have the number 1 spot next week and then next month

Guitar Hero 2 360 in a few days and Forza 2 360 will change all that in this months and next months Euro charts.

» Yeah And Then...

Heavenly Sword, Lair and Home will be released and then PS3 will be in the limelight once again.

» what?

Rfom, Motorstorm, sh*tty games? What the hell have you been smoking? Name one game on any console that has the depth, amount of weapons, and stellar no lag 40 player online that Rfom has. Name one racing game on any console that has the insane graphics, physics, over the top racing action and also flawless online that Motorstorm has. Also, 25 games for a launch is huge. Save your money and buy a ps3 and see what your missing.

» he said most of the games

which would be true for pretty much any console launch.

» Yeah And Then after that

And then Mass Effect, Bioshock will be released on the 360 and it will again hog that limlight..



And as for home I can almost guarantee you If MS thought it is something better they will have teams working around the clock on something that will be yet another step ahead.

» Don't bring the 'word' wii into the consolefight

Wii is just a 'tick' better than gamecube with a new controller.

XBOX has the best game so far, ofcourse, but thinking ps3 with its possiblillities will take on big scores among the majority.
