Guitar Hero is up there too, must be something about the "gimmicky" which people want atm. I have to admit as well as getting a Wii this month I bought Crabgirl a Guitar Hero guitar last month.

Skiz can you please stop asking dumb questions.

If you are playing the clueless guy, it's annoying.

I suspect you aren't so could you please trust me and just use Google before asking any question. A moronic mod would be a first on FST.

:P

Meh...sometimes I Google, sometimes I ask. :sleep:

Seriously though, I'm pretty much outside the video game "loop". I've never heard of that thing, ever. :ph34r:

Well I can't fault you for being outta the video game loop. They are not productive so I can respect that I guess.

ps3 figures will change for sure in a yr or so....
but PS2 is doing pretty damn good lol

[Colt Seevers]

:huh:

Ps3's a slow burner I think... fingers crossed.

[sameer0807]

ps3 will be top on that charts after there top exclusive games starts to hit market.....those games are only possible on bluray 'cause the amount of stuff that will packed on 1 disc....bluray games for PS3 will change the way we game in future....

and i also read somewhere that 360 is using its 98% of power at the moment, where as PS3 is still using somewhere 30-40% of its power....So guys like i said exclusive games will win the war for PS3 hands down...

No doubt the PS3 will pick up some time next year but I seriously doubt that they will revolutionize "the way we game in future". It'll just be the same as before. But with nicer graphics.

Actually the PS3 has some Xavix rip-offs built into their games too.

Check out Lair (which looks like a damn good game) to see what I'm talking about.

Sounds good, but I like Gabe's idea better:

Yeah I know what they're trying to say however:

Lair looks 10 times better than Rogue Squadron
Lair has weird air melee battles with other dragons
The dragon lands and fights on the ground (scout walker?:lol:) fireballing knights in the ass
The boss battles are entirely different.

From I've seen it doesn't feel or look like just "another space/air battle game" whatsoever.

I bought Crabgirl a Guitar Hero guitar last month.

What's she gonna use that for? She's a girl, lolololol.

Anyways, I'd like to see a corresponding chart on how much money was made through the sales of each console. Just out of curiosity, like.

Seeing as how the prices differ quite a lot and that, I mean.

[LethaL ImpuLse]

Wow, PS3 sales.... ouch.

I've been meaning to get that game. It makes sense that the best selling system will have a best selling game. Hell I want Super Paper Mario too but I can't afford it right now.

The DS having best sellers is a no-brainer to me. There are more kids than adults in the world.:P

However, out of all of those games, God Of War II is probably the best one. It's story, graphics, and gameplay are excellent.
