hughesie27 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I do know what Home is. If I thought it looked any good then I would buy The Sims for my PC. It's a pretty basic concept. I mean GTA IV has an online mode where you can walk around and talk to your friends doing whatever you want such as flying around in a chopper or getting chased from the police. A single multiplayer player mode in a game is more appealing than 'Home' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossi_1983 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Sales figure: Worldwide sales figures 1. Wii: 20.13 million, as of December 31, 2007[20] 2. Xbox 360: 18 million, as of February 22, 2008[23] 3. PlayStation 3: 10.49 million, as of December 31, 2007[24][25] [edit] US sales figures 1. Xbox 360: 9.15 million, as of January 1, 2008[26][27][28] 2. Wii: 7.38 million, as of January 1, 2008[26][27][28] 3. PlayStation 3: 3.25 million, as of January 1, 2008[26][27][28] [edit] Japan sales figures 1. Wii: 4,618,479, as of January 1, 2008[29][30] 2. PlayStation 3: 1,673,063, as of January 1, 2008[29][30] 3. Xbox 360: 548,308, as of January 1, 2008[29][30] I haven't played either a 360 or PS3, but I don't see why folk would buy both, since the majority of the games are on both consoles. It really depends on personal preference which one someone should go for - weighing up the better exclusive titles on the 360 against the blu-ray player of the PS3.

Also think the PS3 will probably see its sales accelerate now they have won the blu-ray war, but don't think that will be enough to recover from the delayed release, and the number of people who "defected" to the x box as they couldn't be bothered waiting, for what is in gaming terms, a very similar product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree both consoles are very similar which makes for a good debate (argument). Each console has there own plus points but the 360 has alot more going for it. Why is it PS3 fan boys seem to think it will all change when GTA is released? Genuine question, surely it will only benefit Microsoft even more?

Bigger sales will give Microsoft more money, which is only good for 360 fans. The exclusive content for GTA will be a massive coup for them aswell. Gaming wise you can't look past the 360.

North Berwick Jambo Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Have to laugh its just like watching two kids fighting over a sweet! In the end it all boils down to personal choice, most folk dont really know why they choose a particular console yet in the end they end up defending it to the hilt! My tip, go & play all three of them then pick the one that suits you best! For the record i have a PS3 but dont feel the need to slaughter anyone with an Xbox360, the word Microsoft & the ring of death does it for me!

Dean Winchester Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Also think the PS3 will probably see its sales accelerate now they have won the blu-ray war You are most likely right... But I think Microsoft have the right idea now that Live has become such a huge success on the 360. They know fine well that gaming in the future isnt going to be portable media... It's all going to be hard disk based and they know it can work well... Just look at the HD Movies their distributing through Live as well as the demos which work flawlessly. While it may be to late for this generation, cos lets face it 20gb/120gb HDD's arent really THAT big... But the Xbox 720 or whatever they call it could really be a great device if they play this card rightly. As for the whole debate thing. 360 better now. PS3 MAY become better in future.

Torres Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 PS3 to get exclusive GTAIV DLC & Home support Vice President of Development for GTAIV, Jeronimo Barrera, has confirmed that the PS3 will likely see its own exclusive episodes for download. It is unclear whether this means that the ?25 million Microsoft spent to gain exclusivity for 2 pieces of DLC only secured a timed window of exclusivity, or that the PS3 will simply get exclusive DLC that is completely unrelated to the 360's exclusive DLC, but either way it is good news for those intending to buy the game for the PS3. But the good news for Sony fans does not stop there, apparently. There are strong indications that Rockstar intends to heavily support the launch of Home, potentially bringing content for customisation (clothes, accessories, room decor, etc), the chance to decorate your place with your GTAIV ingame accomplishments and the ability to stream replays of your GTAIV mayhem through the TVs in your Home space. There is even speculation that this collaboration between Sony and Rockstar will extend further, with Rockstar kickstarting the launch of Sony's new Accomplishments system, the approaching rival to Xbox Live's Achievements. .

Cheers Torres, sounds good. I'm one of those people who have bought a PS3 in anticipation of GTA IV, despite it also coming out on the X-Box. Why? Not entirely sure but probably cause I'm familiar with the PS consoles, have had no problems with them in the past, and also, I have a PSP which I understand can link in some way (probably useless though). Ultimately, I think familiarity will be a factor for many people, and I do think that the PS3 will only start to snowball in terms of sales from now on as developer support increases, just a hunch though. I do think that it's a bit petty to be having arguments about which is the 'better' console. They both have merits, and it's ultimately an entirely subjective situation.

The PSP support is brilliant.Not got a PSP myself but i can see that the support for it is top notch.Basically everything you you buy or download from PSN you can also play on your PSP except for the likes of GT5 Prologue and Warhawk of course.

The 360 is predicted to sell twice as mant copies of GTA 4 as the PS3 + what they make from the downloads. Far too much for rockstar to lose. Think about it MS paid $50m for DLC alone (even though it's supposed to be 2 huge downloads) how much would SONY have to pay for total exclusivity? A non starter for sure. EA want to buy Take 2 anyway so if that happens there's definately no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboJoker98 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I've got a 360 and my flat mate has a PS3 and have to say, I think the PS3 is light years better. Online play is pretty much the same no matter what format you play on so this argument is irrelevant (Don't listen to Xbox fan boys oh, if want real online play use your PC). But PS3's is cheap and easy. Only prob is the limited downloadable content (which you need to pay for anyway so aint worth it). It seems to me as whatever there is on the 360, the PS3 has better. It feels alot more mature as well Anyway neither is a bad choice so it all comes down to what you prefer and your options tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply put xbox live just works better, less glitches, smoother gameplay, so on and so forth. For one example, play Pro Ev online on the ps3 and then on the 360 and tell me which one is better.
