Too late for that...

I honestly think that MS has just said, "Fuck it. We accomplished our objectives this time around. The 360 is THE gaming console of choice for this generation and we have made our name know in the industry. Theres no need or point in working to improve these issues."

However I think they're probably gonna spend a lot of money on research/development for the NEXT xbox console in order to make sure that nothing like RRoD ever happens again.

At least thats MY hope. At this point in the game all MS has to do is just keep the 360 around for a while so it can last the normal game console cycle and introduce the 720 which will be 10x better than the 360 was in all its glory.

7.5? Wow thats kinda harsh...any reason?

It'll be a very sad day when sony truly and finally wins this format war.

I'm still hoping HD DVD starts to fight back in some way but it doesn't look like Toshiba is doing anything at all so I've pretty much given up hope on HD DVD.

I just hate sony period.

ps3's are still on the shelfs of the Best Buy's over here.

Of course Wii's and 360's are being sold at a constant rate.

The ps3 will be 3rd. It'll probably catch up a lil in numbers but I still think the 360 will be ahead of it by a decent margin.

This is EA just trying to please sony execs and fanboys who think EA has been shafting them all these months.

Oddly enough the sony fanboys will welcome this bit of "news" and ignore the fact that its from "LAZY & EVIL EA who doesn't know how to program for the ps3".

And Joystiq why have't we seen any Console sales figures for the week? Hasn't it been a while since we see ANY figures at all?

DMC 4 for me...loved the demo

The boxart however isn't really good. Both front and back. But hey what really matters is the content on the disc I suppose.

I saw it recieved an 8.7 which kinda scared me but then I realized it was IGN so I ignored it.

@ Nfinity

Umm all those 2.0 Players are coming out sometime this year and unless sony and the bluray gang decides to create yet another profile it might be enough for me to just face the music and buy bluray.

Esp if Toshiba doesn't do anything to counter it.

All I'm saying is that I want HD DVD to win...I truly do. But if Summer/Fall comes around and NEW BD Live Enabled bluray players are out by that time that look beautiful and play perfectly I won't be so inclined to support HD DVD.

So you're saying that this hyped up ad which turned out to be a piece of sh*t is not a big blow to HD DVD?

Sorry but as a person leaning towards HD DVD I found it to be a collosal failure.

I see a lot more bluray ads both on tv and in stores. And guess what? They look beautiful. Both picture and sound wise. I have yet to see an ad for HD DVD on tv and nothing I've seen indicates that HD DVD is fighting back or that Toshiba will do anything.

So really don't even try and defend that garbage cuz you will look like a fool.

If you think that ad was in any way good then I seriously doubt your grip on reality and your credibility.

That was probably one of the worst ads ever. Add in the fact that it didn't even air in my area (Raleigh, NC) and I don't see how this will translate into more sales for HD DVD.

I want HD DVD to win but theres no way in hell it can do that if they keep making stupid decisions like this.

Oh yes...Nintendo is so pretentious...
