BF2S Forums Official E3 Thread

Okay, I'm officially MAJORLY pumped up for the new 360 interface and XBLA games. Look what they say on the Xbox.com page about the new 1 vs. 100 game:

From the makers of Deal or No Deal, Endemol, the world's largest independent production company, brings the popular television game show 1 vs. 100 to Xbox LIVE Primetime. The exclusive game pits one Xbox LIVE member against 100 others from around the world with a live host and great prizes. The goal of "the One" is to eliminate all opposition by correctly answering questions, hoping opponents will answer incorrectly and be eliminated from the game. And stay tuned for 1 vs. LIVE, where one lucky winner will have a chance to compete against the entire Xbox LIVE community.

All info on pretty much all the new games here:

I'm also totally getting a Netflix account.

I think many of you are underestimating Sony.

US:
Sony has reacted to NPD sales figures from May by chest thumping over better sales of the PS3 than the Xbox 360 and a higher GTA 4 attach rate.  The figures, according to SCEA president and CEO Jack Tretton, show 'consumers have chosen the PS3 as their home entertainment console of choice'.  According to NPD May sales data, the PS3 sold 208,709 hardware units, 22,106 more than the Xbox 360. Hardware growth was at an impressive 155% over the same period last year. PlayStation total hardware revenue was $133 million in May, 98% higher than Microsoft, and representing a year-over-year growth of over 20.4%.  And more than 32% of US PS3 owners have purchased a copy of GTA 4, what Sony calls a 6% higher attach rate than Xbox 360.  Sony also pointed out that the "PlayStation brand" had generated close to $2.27 billion in revenue in 2008 alone, 46% more than Microsoft.  Sony said 1.26 million PS3 games were sold in May, an increase of 234% year on year. The Japanese game company said this was primarily made up of "enthusiasm" for GTA 4, SingStar and Haze. It earned $331.6 million from "PlayStation brand" sales alone in May.

Europe:
Sony's PlayStation 3 games console has outsold Microsoft's Xbox 360 in Europe, according to figures released by Sony.  More than five million PS3s have been sold across the continent, Sony's David Reeves confirmed. Speaking at a European PlayStation event in London, he said: "The numbers are a testament to the strength of the PlayStation brand."  He said PlayStation 3 had been outselling the Xbox 360 since October last year.  "We have sold more PlayStation 3s throughout Europe than Xbox 360 even though they launched 16 months before us."

Japan:
Well, there's no need to post sales figures, they don't buy Xbox.

They sell a thousand or two each month. In a good month that is.

Yes, they sell about 10k a month wereas they sell 80-100k PS3s a month and 100k PSPs and about 30k PS2s.

Hence why Sony held exclusivity on FF13 in Japan, its largest RPG market. It does make sense for Sony to release exclusivity elsewhere, their sales for FF games elsewhere are lower than the cost of exclusivity in those markets.

btw is fallout 3 coming to PC, because I would definitely buy it on that for the modding community if it is. Think about how much Oblivion and Morrowind were modded, now apply to fallout 3 = omfgwtfbbq

Btw posideon, you should try the pixeljunk games, they are like £3 and they are actually very fun. Pixeljunk monsters is one of the best Towerdefence games I have ever played, especially because of the two player coop.

Yes, it's coming to PS3, 360 and PC. I'm still debating whether to get it on 360 or PS3.

I don't really know too much about the PixelJunk games, but I'll look into them. If they're as good as they say and they're cheap like that, maybe I'll just buy 'em on impulse.

Wat if its coming Pc you gotta get it on that, fuck consoles, modding games is where their life span increases exponentially.

yeah I inpulse bought pixeljunk monsters don't regret it at all, the best £3 I ever spent. Got hours and hours and hours of entertainment from it.

B-b-b-but-achievements! lol, nah, while I do get all multi-console games on the 360 for achievements (what can I say, they add more replayability to the game), I was considering it since I have a friend who's getting it on 360 too...no idea if there's multiplayer or not.

I'll probably end up getting it on PC though.

And I'll probably try and buy one of those PixelJunk games next month as I'm going on vacation soon, but I'll probably do it.

If I spent that money on games my wife would ask me the divorce. /makes list of games...

I still need shit loads of games that I haven't even got yet. 3 years ago I would have just gone out and bought them, now days I limit myself.
