I'm enjoying myself. I'll throw it out there and say I'm equally as
entertained as I was by Halo 3.

Yea so was Halo 3. At HS offered something unique instead of the same
boring FPS Xbox turds.

Just another chip away at Xbox's dominance. Of course, you also miss

Explain how a PC game, and you know the install base for (gaming) PCs far
outnumbers 360, wasn't shattered in sales numbers bu H3. I just showed where
both games sold about the same the first day. But Halo sold those numbers
just in the US. If you go to date, Halo 3 is almost @ 6 million total,
whereas WoWBC hasn't hit 5mil since being released last January. I'd say it
shattered it sales, if going by the numbers. How many Halo3 copies would
have sold had it been a worldwide launch like WoWBC?
This should expand further how to conpare Halo3 against BC, which according
Wiki, "It was released on January 17, 2007 in Canada, New Zealand, South
Africa, and Singapore; in total, approximately 3.1 million copies were sold
across these territories in the first month of release, including 1.5
million in North America and nearly 1.2 million in Europe.[4] It was later
released on February 1, 2007 in South Korea, April 30, 2007 in Taiwan, as
well as the regions of Hong Kong and Macau.[5][6] Availability in Chinese
will be announced in the near future."
BC had 3.1 million it's first month, yet Halo3 did over 3.3 million it's
first week, just in the US.

Well, I would say it is a bigger hit for sales, as the numbers show that. Do
you think that BC will sell over 9 million? And, according to Wiki, "There
are more than 2 million players in North America, 1.5 million players in
Europe and 3.5 million players in China as of January, 2007 and as of
August, 2007; the game has over 8 million subscribers worldwide."
That is just for WoW and going still well into 2007.

Wow, you PS3 fanboys must be proud.
Hey, if it had sold another 20,000 it would have matched the sales
numbers of the mega-hit "Ace Combat 6" on the 360.
Your console is definitely on its way with powerhouses like this one.
MS should be surrendering any day now.

Hey fanbitch, since the 360 has well more than a 2-1 install base, R&C is
kicking its ass, I would be more disappointed that such a decently rated
game for your console god averaged less than a game that's for your despised
satanic console.
111,056 copies of AC sold for the 12.75mil 360s sold
97055 copies of R&C sold for 5.34mil PS3s sold
Let's see, Metacritic gives R&C a 9.0 and gives AC a 8.2, yet in both their
first weeks, AC only outsells R&C by 14,001 copies, woohoo, 360 fanbitches
should celebrate! AC outsells R&C by a 1.44/1 ratio, while the 360 has a
2.33/1 install base ratio.

Are you truly this fucking stupid in real life or do you just play a
dumbfuck fanboy troll on usenet only?
Ratchet and Clank offically launched today shot for brains.
Insomniac bumped it up a week because it was finished early. Just check your
local flyers and you will see it's advertised to be released 11/31 by 2pm.
Besides, why do you give a shit what the PS3 does regardless? You pathetic
fanbabies need to grow up an quit worshiping a piece of plastic.

How many 360s are out there compared to PS3's again, Xbot loser? How
much longer has the 360 been out than the PS3 again, idiot? It's
amazing how many Xbots live in the fantasy world...
Assume the position, idiot. And get back down on your knees...

Yea I was wondering what was going on when I saw an ad on TV that said
R&C was coming out on the 31st, when I had just picked up two copies
at Gamestop on the 27th.

Who gives a crap about sales records? The fact remains that Ratchet
is a AAA title, and blowns the claim that Ps3 has NO good exclusives
out of the water. Pathetic that you losers have to desperately find
some way to trash all PS3 titles. Last time I checked, Warhawk,
Heavenly Sword, Folklore, and Eye of Judgement all received great
reviews. Xbots will realy be sobbing when the greatness of Uncharted
comes out in a month.

What makes me laugh is that you call other people fanboys but you're
the one posting stuff insulting a console... and I'm assuming that
makes you an xbox fanny with the xbox group in the headers.

What does have anything to do with R&C sales vs AC sales?
Nothing?
Thought so.
You and the other trolls and fanboys online are among the dumbest people I
have ever run across in my entire life. There are so many freaking variables
you insecure morons don't take into account when you throw out pathetic
statistics it boggles my mind. I serious can't believe this is what society
has sunk to with idiots arguing over an entertainment console. You have some
serious issues that you really need to address. Gaming consoles should be
the least of your worries.

All of you have heard of thos websites that give you free stuff, they
work. You can go to one of them and read the trms and conditions for
yourself. All you have to do is sign up, complete one easy offer( ie.
netflix, aol, stamps.com) some dont even require a credit card. If you
dont trust them buy a visa gift card for like 5$. I suggest stamps,
theres no trial, and no cost unless you buy stamps. Use this link and
sign p to help me get mine.
http://www.360Elite4free.com/index.php?ref=4251375
All you have to do is sign up and complete one offer to count towards
MY xbox 360. Once youve done that you need 8 people to refer by YOUR
link, and there you have YOUR OWN 360. please sign up, it works. I
need 10 refferals.
If you dont believe me watch this video.

Yeah, I'm a troll because I happen to think HOME is a stupid idea.
> Can we at least wait untill it comes out and see how it is?
Based on Sony's demos and press releases about HOME, I fail to see how
it's a good idea.
1: As Sony's answer to XBox Live, it's a failure as not all games - by
Sony's design - have to use HOME. This results in a rather fragmented
online experience like the PS2 had, and makes some of the strongest
features of XBox Live impossible to truely recreate on the PS3.
This isn't the PS2 we're talking about here, where Sony got blindsided by
Microsoft for not having a solid networking/multiplayer plan in place.
Sony has had years to analyze what Microsoft has done and prepare for the
launch of the PS3. Yet, even after delaying the PS3 for 6 months, there
was no network. Several PS3 games had to drop(!) their online component
altogether because the developers couldn't afford to wait for Sony to make
up their mind.
And now, you're telling me that ~18 months into the PS3's life, we might
possibly, finally, have something that *SHOULD* have been ready well in
advance of the PS3's launch 2 years ago? Think about it. Microsoft
already had its plans for the 360's online service - including
Achievements and everything else - already defined and working about a
year before the 360 came out. This gave developers ample time to
integrate Live with their launch titles.
2: If Sony expects me to spend serious time walking around this virtual
world of theirs - which is totally free - how exactly am I generating any
revenue for Sony? Since Sony's network is free, me hanging out on HOME
all the time means I'm not buying games or movies. In fact, hanging out
online means I'm *costing* Sony money. Yes, I know, Sony talked about
having ads on HOME. However Sony is deluding themselves if they seriously
think that ad-revenue is going to be enough to support the networking
infrastructure needed for millions of online loafers. Furthermore, if
HOME gets overridden with ads, is anyone really going to want to use it?
At least if I'm playing an online game against someone on Live, I've
already given Microsoft $50. Most of that will be going towards
maintaining Live itself. I doubt Microsoft makes that much profit from
that.
3: Trophies. In my virtual apartment. Do I really need to explain why this
is perhaps the lamest idea I've ever heard?
4: Walking around the virtual world to go to the virtual store to buy my
downloads. Yeah, OK, that might be cute once or twice, but really? Just
give me a menu. I don't want to have to make my avatar interact with some
virtual store avatar just to download a movie trailer or a game. Is Sony
really thinking that people bought a PS3 just to pretend to be a virtual
person buying movies in a virtual store?
Home could have had some great potential - such as allowing people to
customize their avatars with items from games they've played, and then
take those avatars into whatever game you want. Why not, eh? That would
be truly impressive. Sony could even charge for accessories for your
avatar to wear. At least that would make more sense than buying a stupid
virtual couch object for your stupid virtual apartment that NO ONE ELSE
WANTS TO SEE.
With people complaining that Sony's network is already pretty slow, can
you imagine what HOME will be like with all those users on it, not to
mention all the animated/video ads. Yeah, that's just what *I* want - a
slower, lamer version of Second Life that costs $400.
