Exclusive: Assassins Creed: NOT PS3 exclusive
Bloody hell. Day of the exclusives it would seem.
While talking to a Ubi employee who asked not to be named, he accidentally let slip that Assassin's Creed is being developed on 360 as well. When we asked what 'exclusive' meant upon catching him out, he shut up, but we'll assume exclusive means 'timed exclusive'.
So there you go.


Comments
If you're right about this, then it's the news I've been waiting for. I've really been leaning toward getting a 360 recently and Assassin's Creed is one of the (now few) Sony exclusives that held me back. All Capcom need to do is go multiformat with DMC4 and I'm absolutely sold.

WORD homes. Also, I'm posting up impressions of Assassin's Creed later tomorrow, so you'll have that to gander at too.
For me, the only system sellers PS3 has are MGS4 and from what I've heard, that Naughty Dog game too. Singstar was actually my favourite PS3 game. How weird is that?
Posted by: Site Emperor (now taking a more backseat role) | May 13, 2006 9:35 AM
When Singstar's the best they have to show, you know the PS3's in trouble ;-)
From what I saw of the E3 conference, nothing really stood out. Sure, Heavenly Sword looks pretty cool, but I'd rather play Ninety-Nine-Nights tbh. As far as killer apps are concerned, Halo 3 undoubtedly owns MGS4 in my book. I'm not convinced that their online service will be as free as they claim, either.
I dunno though, maybe it's too early to be criticising Sony for this stuff.
Incidentally, now that Activision have picked up Red Octane, hopefully they'll be in a better position to go multiformat with the inevitable next-gen Guitar Hero sequels as well.
Posted by: Fred | May 13, 2006 11:55 AM
Despite my being quick to criticise, the dust has settled and I'd say it's premature. They fucked up by lying the previous E3 with those bullshit vids and knowing they couldn't get away with it this year, they looked like tools.
Thing is, despite the top brass looking making daft decisions - show Gran Turismo HD for half an hour! - the boys in production know their onions, so I'll reserve judgement overall, but say that unless they drop the machine price, they're going to have a VERY rough ride.
Anyway, I'll be posting full E3 impressions up in the next day or two.

Assassin's Creed was one of the few PS3 games I'm interested in. Sadly, with the 600 dollar pricetag (I don't want to buy the cheaper "gimp" system), I can't afford the PS3 right now. An Xbox 360 version would be great, even if it would be a longer wait.
Posted by: Jason P | May 15, 2006 6:02 AM
Halo 3 owns MGS4? you sir are not right in the head, Halo sucks. part 1 was ok, part 2 was boring and part 3 will be even worse. They are pathetic attempts to create a FPS on a console it's just an inferior platform sorry.
MGS 1, 2 and 3 were instant classics with great storyline and intrige. Part 4 will be probably be the best in the series, I mean the trailer alone blew anything else on the E3 away.
Posted by: Dr.Bob | May 16, 2006 3:05 PM
Halo sucks? LOL!!!! First of I hate ingorant people that talk like they actually know something!
First of: THE FACTS
Halo 2 made the BIGGEST income ever in not just video games from preorders so you should look it up. And IF you think that ur opinion counts more than all the people that chose to buy it or loved it well... DUDE GET OVER URSELF!
Halo was the best FPS and still is on any freakin platform and THAT is another fact!
FACT 2:Before HALO tell me how many people played FPS games with so much joy and so easilly on any PS console and tell me about Halo...
CONCLUSION:Halo made a lot of gamers get into FPS like Metallica made people listen to Metal.
FACT 3: MGS was the bomb when it came out and i dont dissagree! But dont tell me that u loved MGS 2 cause I know a lot of Sony fanboys and MGS fanboys that didnt apriciate the MGS 2 compared to the first one. MGS4 might be good and I really don't care cause...
HALO is a freakin legend since day one.. AND YOU CANT CHANGE THAT CAUSE THATS WHAT YOU, I SAID, YOU THINK SO!
*HEADSHOT*
Peace ;)

To the guys that said that MGS4 is better than Halo,
u gotta be the dumbest gamer ever. They are completely diferent games and one last thing, have u played MGS4 or Halo 3 for that matter to compare? You r just a sorry fanboy who cant accept the fact that the 360 is going to win the war.
Posted by: LONELYGONER | May 29, 2006 11:12 PM
to Dr.Bob or poster taste sampling Ken Kutaragi @$$.
I seem to recall a fact that MGS does poorly in Japan, and that it is a game that is for the Western & European market. Because its the only markets that is driving the game. So then why do we still need to listen to Japanese and read subtitles. I mean thats just irritating. I mean at least make a english vesrion of the trailer and I agree about MGS2, the ending sucked @$$.
Not to mention that Halo is a FPS and MGS is more of a sneak game like SplinterCell.
I admit that MGS is fun to play, but its not better than Halo, which has a solid story, not the crazy stuff that is thrown in MGS an half everyone just hits the skip button cause the ending story _for a half an hour_.
Posted by: ExTester | May 30, 2006 12:34 AM
Bob, your not serious right? MGS? We must be thinging of two different games. Even Sam Fisher would kick Naked Snakes *$$. And he is nice enough to play with everyone. In no way does a hyped up 30 minute cinematic trailer make wasting 600 on a grill worth it. By 2008, Sony will be stumbling third place behind nintendo.
Posted by: PublicDeviance | May 30, 2006 1:16 AM
LonelyGoner and heavymetal- I couldnt agree more
Im just happy that this game is coming to 360. This game looks like its gonna be good and will help sell 360s in da holiday season and more market share for 360 equals more games for it.
Posted by: Jay | May 30, 2006 1:20 AM
and let's not forget Halo 3 looks better than MGS4 in terms of graphics.
Posted by: GoorgeofWar | May 30, 2006 1:35 AM
look 360 is a good system and makes good fps games but thats all its good for fps games.what about rpgs ms is at the back of the line.gamers want a system thats diversified like PS3.360 is great but wont be able to beat sony sony has their number
Posted by: Joshua | May 30, 2006 1:46 AM
To the guy that said Halo is the best first person shooter out there and that that was a fact...you are a moron. How can it be a fact? I'm sure not everyone agrees with you therefore it can't be a fact you retard.
Posted by: Terranz. | May 30, 2006 2:11 AM
I think, that dumb guy mentioned about MGS4, must be an japanese. Or an stupid asian $ony and japanese game fanboy. What a dumb!!
Posted by: shoxbest | May 30, 2006 4:11 AM
Hey dumbass guess what? If you can't spell "intrigue" your opinions about halo or metal gear solid don't mean shit.
Idiot.
Posted by: Lol | May 30, 2006 6:54 AM
RPG?? that STUPID BORING ONE-WAY-PASS ONLY japanese games?? Can it be called as RPG? What a shame! Hey dumb $ony fanboys, ONLY games like ULTIMA and The ELDERSCROLL can be called as RPG not like boring japanese. Don't forget many great REAL RPG games of 360's like BIOSHOCK, MASS EFFECT.
Posted by: shoxbest | May 30, 2006 7:12 AM
Right now this game is just "Unconfirmed" on the 360. We can't say its in development or not. Its just some thing only UBI knows and this news can't be trusted at all since the name of the employee is unknown, heck, even the interviewer's name is not there and the source of this news is unknown too.
Posted by: DoubleAgent | May 30, 2006 9:42 AM
Halo best fps ever? lol ^_^
Sorry, but Half Life 2 is light years beyond Halo. Halo is almost as Overhyped as Final Fantasy. I'm not saying that final fantasy or halo are bad games, just not as good as the hype they both recieve.
As for MGS not enjoying good sales in japan, check the numbers before you post something, there is no evidence that says it doesn't do well in japan. ^_^
Bottom line, I don't know for sure who will win the console war, but I can garantee you, even with the HIGH price of the PS3, it allready has most of japan and Europe, certifying it's place at at least #2, probably still #1. Whats really going to be interesting is where the wii ends up, it's a real wildcard.
Posted by: Fools | May 30, 2006 9:55 AM
I'm just gonna throw in some non-gaming nutjob opinions on this one. Here is my 25 year old brother's reactions to such games over the years (and he ain't a hardcore gamer, he's a F'n plasterer):
MGS1: "That game was sweet!"
MGS2: "Very pretty but I've never had to wait so long to play a game?!"
MGS3: "....this camo index sucks, and why is the plot ripping off James Bond?"
Halo 1: "That game was sweet!" (yes, same reaction to a completely different game, how bout that?)
Halo 2: "...it was good! but if it weren't for the multiplayer I'd be asking for my money back the way it ends like that"
and what are his thoughts on the new sequels?? Halo 3, thanks to having 1 trailer, can only be described by my bro as "purdy-lookin'" and MGS4 as "....I could get back into that, just to see what the fuss is all about". However, mention the PS3 pricetag and my bro has to resign a sigh and thinks about waiting a year for a price drop.
Here endeth the lesson of comparing 2 completely different game formats with the opinion of someone who earns a living rather than spending life submerged in a dank basement with only a controller for a friend.

Look halo is great and all but what system is more popular? PS2 or XBox?
Whati s the system seller for Xbox= Halo
PS2 = MGS
NUFF SAID....
PS2 won because of MGS because it was there only good exclusive game
Posted by: CrzdColombian | May 30, 2006 2:42 PM
I heard Devil May Cry is coming to 360 also, anyone else read that?
Posted by: bady7c | May 30, 2006 3:19 PM
you have to be crazy to think that MGS sold more ps2 than Halo sold xbox. I had a ps2 and I bought an xbox just to play halo. I bought a PS2 for alot of games like socom, RE4 and god of war, I never thought MGS was a system seller like you make it out to be. I thought both PS2 and Xbox were great systems and they both had different things to offer but i think 360 has alot more going for it this time around and it can easily end up being number 1. and for the fool that thinks that HL2 is better than Halo 1 is crazy. I played both and halo 1 was just a different experience and changed alot of play mechanics on the FPS. The machine gun on halo 1 is the best I have ever felt on single player.
Posted by: funkysolo | May 30, 2006 4:05 PM
Well, yes. Halo sucks donkeyballs. "It's just another FPS game" as many people say. And I think it SUCKS that they are making Assassins Creed to Xbox360. Why will they make such a good game to that console? that can't use the graphic right? man.. this sucks
Posted by: Ps3 Fanboy | May 30, 2006 10:02 PM
Halo sucks donkeyballs. "Just another FPS game" as many people say. I totally agree with them. And you people can't say that Halo3 looks better than MGS4 yet, can you? Have you guys played them both yet? And since MGS4 will be on BR disc (and not dvd) it will be better resolution and picture. Don't be surprised if Halo looks like a piece of crap when playstation 3 comes. Besides. Assassins Creed should NOT be created to a Console like Xbox. Good game to a bad console won't make money..
Posted by: HaloSucksAss | May 30, 2006 10:07 PM
That 2 post just above me written by same one dumb-ass idiot prove every $ony fanboy have muscle head. Have you ever got brain idiots?
Posted by: shoxbest | May 31, 2006 3:45 AM
First of all, all the ms fanboys and all the sony fanboys need to chill the fuck out! Both systems are going to be great, but what I saw at E3 didn't really make me want to shell out 600 dollars for a PS3. The games were good but not that good. What really made Sony look bad was their Press Conference when the ripped off Nintendo and some of MS idea's to. Now I am not a MS fanboy, I like all consoles and I think that PS3 has great potential and Xbox 360 also. So stop bitching about games you have played yet and you should also respect other peoples opinion you ms fanboys and sony fanboys. Deal with Assassins Creed going to the 360, get over your self. Who knows it could just as good as the PS3 or it could be just as bad. Time will tell.
Posted by: Crazy Cary | May 31, 2006 6:02 AM
Good news. This is good news for all of us really... the more this happens, the less reasons there are going to be for us to buy PS3s, the more people who buy 360s, therefore the live community will increase, we all save $$$, sony will realise people will not just buy their system just because it's a playstation brand, which will force them to make an awesome PS4 in order to rival the 3rd xbox realisticly. Think! We will have: halo, forza, fable, mass effect, graw, oblivion, bio shock, PGR, GTA, assasins creed and GoW, all on the same console! And we will all be able to play our friends because all our friends will have one, and we will all have xbox live! It's great news!
Posted by: Osh | May 31, 2006 12:40 PM
Ok, wait a min. Sony won the last console war?
Thats becuase it became cheaper sooner, so all you trailer trash fanboys could buy it. How long are you going to wait for the PS3 to come down in price? YOu had better grab a comfy chair my freind.
There isnt anything that has been shown for the ps3 that blows the 360 away, with that being said why would anyone buy it.
Posted by: brian | May 31, 2006 3:06 PM
With the spec information about Playstation 3 it has twice the power of Xbox 360. And why's that? Well, It's beacuse Sony where not stupid enough to release it one year ago. If Sony WOULD have, No one would have a really cheap Bluray Disc player (to a cheap price) and neither the 8 core processor. Some may say "it's to expensive" and that they will wait a halfyear. But just think about that just the BR player is more expensive than the Console. MS fanboys, say whatever you want to defence that 360 thingy.. =P
Posted by: ms in my ass | May 31, 2006 3:09 PM
I agree.. Halo Sucks! and it's not even an rpg, its FPS morans
Posted by: Halo | May 31, 2006 3:15 PM
Well, who said playatstion 3 won't have online features? (Read more about it on bigger sites like ps3.ign.com or gamespot.com) You will be able to chat with other people,Videochat,voicechat (ok every chat method then) Also download all kinds of media (movies in HD resolution) pictures and even GAMES (the games cost a little tho) Swedish people can now own Americans on MGS online, whenever you want. And compare to Xbox Live, It's FREE. (except download the games) Playstation 3 online hub will literally own xbox live this time
Posted by: Ps3 Onlin | May 31, 2006 3:27 PM
To PS3 Ante E3 whatever...
You are VERY trusting of these promises. Remember that Microsoft has Microsoft money and has had an online presence for a long time. A service at the level of competence of Xbox Live is not something you create overnight, and much as Sony can hire ex-MS Network ninjas like Mike Kavilerou and otherwise, it's not enough.
Instead of setting yourself up for potential disappointment (or naked dancing in the street, should they use their across the board media library wisely), I would suggest you stop, breathe and wait.
Because eventually, we'll all see what they actually pull off from the promises they've made. As believe it or not, big companies don't always keep their promises.
Love,
Dan
P.S. And stop with the retarded MGS vs HALO comments for chrissakes. They're too completely different games and both are great in entirely different ways that satisfy entirely different play needs.
Posted by: Site Emperor (now taking a more backseat role) | May 31, 2006 3:32 PM
Microsoft have sold over 3.5 Million of 360 units worldwide now. Sony will sell Playstation 3 just as they did with the Playstation 2. (someone remember the biiiig numbers of one weekend selling??) Playstation 3 will win this war in just a few weeks. Microsoft 360 --- A 3rd place behind Wii is not bad either =P
Posted by: Over 1 day | May 31, 2006 3:42 PM
ok guys lets take a minute to think about this. Ive grown up with games as Im sure most of you have as well. When I was a kid it was nothing but NES and SNES and 64, and as time went on and I saw the first playstation I was still not convienced about it. Later due mostly to MGS and FF 7 I bought one. When Microsoft came out with Xbox agian I wasnt jumping to buy it, but Halo and Halo 2 sold me on it so I bought one. Just a smal interjection into my larger point they MGS and Halo are both great games with heavy differences, so stop bieng bitches and arguing about it. Ok moving on now that Xbox 360 is out Im gonna say to the public what Ive said to my friends Microsoft dropped the ball. They launched too early with an inferior machiene that does not compare to the PS3. I know that statement alone has more than likely signed my death warrant with some but lets face it there are only about 2 or 3 mind blowing games out there for Xbox 360. Even at the launch the majority of the titles were ea sports games. My roomate and I went to buy a 360 and the shelf was filled with them come on now. If it wasnt for the price of Ps3 no one would be complaining but because its expensive we hear all this complaining. SUCK IT UP I say us middle to upperclass 20 something gamers can afford an extra hundread dollars for a system. There is no reason to talk about it so much. Anyway I dont think the War will be the 360 V. the PS3 like the prev. Gen was because this year Nintendo has a decent gaming system at a lesser price which will allow parents to get it for there kids. Basically what I am saying is that Xbox is goning to be the least of the 3 in 3 years and before the newly created xbox fanboys scream and wet their pants over that one just wait and see if Microsoft invest in a new nextgen gaming system. Peace Im Outta here
Posted by: adam | May 31, 2006 8:30 PM
Sony will win the console war in just a few weeks?
How are there going to do that with less consoles than ms has shipped as of today. When ps3 does ship im sure there will be atleast 6 million or more 360's sold and sony will have no more than 3 million on hand.
And like I said they have only sold so many ps2's becuase they are cheap, lets not forget that we are talking about a $600 console not $200.
Besides the Blueray is not compatible with most Sony fanboys......They cant afford a HD set, until they go on sale at Walmart that is.
Posted by: brian | May 31, 2006 8:31 PM
Yea seriously you ppl need to end the Halo vs. MGS thing. they are two different genres. and for those saying that sony fanboys didnt like MGS2 as much as as the 1st and the ending sucked: i believe I've been hearing a lot of M$ fanboys saying they didn't like Halo2 as much as the 1st and that the ending sucked. so lets just stop w/ that argument. both systems have their pros and cons so the bashing fest needs to end. every1 is entitled to their own opinion. im hoping sony will win the war, but they may not. it could be a good thing as sony will have to work extra hard which could only be good for gaming. but w/e as long as i play the games i love. right now PS3 is giving me that.
Posted by: Dan | May 31, 2006 9:20 PM
Dan, One question? What is ps3 giving you right now?
Waiting,watching clips and trailers?
Now dont get me wrong, I will purchase a ps3 if it lives up to its hype and the wii as well. With that being said I really dont think that sony has the fan base to support a $600 console, maybe down the road when it jumps down in price. Now that doesnt mention anything about the Japanese market, but who gives a shit about them anyhow.
It comes down to one thing. None of you have a ps3, not me, not you , not them. What do we have? Clips,trailers and bloated specs.
Posted by: brian | May 31, 2006 11:00 PM
when will Xbox 360 news start up? those retards said they would be up and running in four hours 3 days ago they fn suck if they dont start up soon i will go back to xbox 360 ign

Who ever said that Halo is not even a RPG is a god damn moron! No shit! How could you not enjoy blowing covenant brains everywhere? You have to be a proud person not to admit that Halo is fun, at least fun!

Hello Crizzle C.
This retard (me) runs this site as a side project to his actual job, so things take time, sometimes more time than I actually say, which I'm not proud of.
The Xbox news will be up when I eventually get bloody round to it, but sadly (or happily, depending what way you look at it), it's the biggest report of the bunch, meaning it takes time.
Meanwhile, feel free to check out the pieces on Bioshock, The Darkness and Gears of War, which you can find in the 'Articlez' tab.
I still have the God of War 2 hands on to finish (going up later today) and next up is Mass Effect BEFORE I do the full Microsoft stuff as it be BIG.
Retarded love,
Dan
Posted by: Site Emperor (also a retard according to CrizzleC) | June 1, 2006 4:43 AM
Wow...first off I love my 360. Games like NBA 2k6 with the leagues online and NBA 2k7's trailer looks great, Fight Night which I'm playing NOW. Call of Duty 2(with new downloaded maps). Project Gotham 3 (just had a tournament..and the winner goes to Italy to visit the lambo shop!), Obilvion (downloads just keep coming), Battlefield2, Ghost Recon, and I could go on...like Rockstar's Table Tennis(read the reviews befroe U judge..it's seriously addictive), Dead or Alive(best fighting game 2 me), but then there's Xbox Live which is an award winning service that keeps getting better with updates. I mean just recently they added a message service to xbox.com that allows me to check messages and friend request while my 360 is off, and I'm at work. You could argue that the 360 doesn't have a lot of games that U like but there up coming lineup should make any true gamer impressed: Gears of War, Fable2, Mass Effect, Huxley, NBA 2k7, Doa Xtreme, Assassins Creed(which was running on the 360 at E3...believe it or not IGN reported this and took it down the next day), NCAA Football 07, Madden 07, NBA Live 07, BioShock, Splinter Cell, Medal of Honor, Chromehounds, Saint's Row to name a few. Don't forget Halo3. Then I also remember my expereince with the first xbox and games like Forza which was hands down better then Gran Turismo4, and games like Ninja Gaiden best action game in years. The closest game to Ninja Gaiden on PS2 was God of War in which I can't wait for GoW2. But if I had to chosse one or the other Ninja Gaiden wins no doubt.And as a happy 360 owner I'm telling you...your really missing out on some great games in the mist of some terrible launch titles. Gun, Perfect Dark (great for a week or two), Madden( the worst I've ever played from a gameplay perspective and with the features gone this game went back the store the same week I got it), Ridge racer. The PS3 I hope lives up to what it is suppose to be, but I wasn't at E3 to play the games. Heavenly Swords (looks great but I hope it's not the next dynasty warriors with jump in the air gimmicks....how many times are we going to see the same moves thru out the game? U know, War hawk (I'm interested but that trailer had me thinking of something else.. the game looks great with the controller moments I just hope I like it, Gran Turismo (looks good but what's new? are there going to be online finally? can we custumize our rides this time? is damage going to be involved? stop promising and deliver, Final Fantasy (looks incredible), Killzone (I'm still waiting..I wonder why there biggest and best trailer of the previous E3 was not around? Hummm. Fact is Sony lies to the public and the fanboys don't care. Me I look for quality and assurance and Sony is falling off. Can u imagine some of the problems some people are going to have with there $500-$600 systems? Microsoft had problems and addressed them quickly. How will Sony handle that. Will the Blueray disc survive the market. They still have alot of question marks to me. But it's games like Socom, and God of War that will make me spend the money, but we all know it's going to be a while before the heavy hitters for Sony pop-off. So while Sony fanboys wait another year for great games. Microsoft will be delivering great games. The developers we be familiar with the hardware. And Xbox Live is going to be of fire. Anyone for a multiplayer game of Gears of War. Chainsaw heaven...it doesn't get too much better than that.

xbox 360 is the going to be the best system and now i am beginning to think that nintedo is better than the ps3 so ps3 sucks ass. playstaion is desperate at the moment.
Posted by: fucking mad | June 10, 2006 7:07 AM
If they do put it on 360, i think it will only be a mere port with less stuff included. Either way, ill be enjoying it on my PS3, so i dont have any worries. ill be enjoying AC, Motorstorm, Resistance:FoM, DMC4, The New R&C, UT 2007, Ridge Racer 7, Fatal Inertia, Formula 1, GT 5, Killzone, Warhawk, and countless others.
Posted by: KillerAJD | June 21, 2006 1:58 AM
I think that a lot fo you should really chill out. This fanboy crap is really annoying. You should really buy and play these before you insult them, and just to let all the MS fanboys know there is a cheaper version of PS3 if you haven't noticed if the $600 price tag has been bothering you. I think Ps3 is screwed right now ebcuas eof the rumble feature and the fact that not many great games were shown at E3 from either system. ( not saying they all were bad i thought many were great)Halo 3 looks awesome and since the trailer is SUPPOSEDLY gameplay simulated I think it will do very well and hell I might even purchase a 360 for it. MGS 4 looks very nice I still think that it will do very well and hype PS3 but I don't know we just have to see what happens. Oh yes and the Wii, I think this console will kick some ass becuase of the price and the controller has impressed me. I'm still kind of leaning towards PS3 in this one just becuase of how powerful it is claimed to be but I'm not going to make first judgements just yet.
Posted by: deeeeeeeeeeeeeeee | June 21, 2006 6:03 AM
Jesus! You guys fight a lot - heres me 2 cents- none of Sony's games are done- thats a fact and - 2 many a Sony fanboy's hope- so is the PS3 release date... they have 2 or 3 months to finish theses games because stamping the blu-ray discs is still new and takes longer than DVD stamps- they need time to put the games out a few weeks before or the launch date or you'll have a shiny new system and past gen games- thats STUPID!!! MGS is a good game- Halo is a good game- no FPS has kept me into the multi like halo- its just so easy to get into a great party and game all night- the only FPS i play all night is PREY... which is such a cool game... Sony's killer app is NOT the MGS series or the gamecube would not have gotten an exclusive nor MGS2 being published for the xbox... sony fills E3 full of bull trailers and over hyped jargon and "revelations" that they pulled out of there *$$... hmm... motion sensor controller ... not even the devs who have spent MONTHS developing PS3 games knew about the contollers having a tilt function... to say that no one will buy a $600 playstation product is stupid- of course it will sell out on launch day! How could it not??? Only fanboys and hardcore gamers buy systems that early- thats why i bought my 360 early... anyway i dont see how sony is going to try to sell there product to the everyman if they have no games, games that dont show the trailer's graphics, a $600 dollar pricetag, very few exclusives and no internal dev games to show that use what the PS3 screams about?? 50GB games??? That takes years buddy.. there prolly only be a couple in 4 years at the most... hate to say this but sony needs to step back and see what there doing wrong.. because there bucketfulls of stuff they should have done differently... people are buying 360's because of the games, the graphics, and Xbox Live, future titles like Gears of War and BioShock and Mass Effect and Too Human and Halo 3, and Prey make too big of a billboard not to take notice to M$ new console... people will buy Nintendo because just that... its a Nintendo and the Wii cheap price and interisting titles like Red Steel will ensure that its everybody's second console... now last is Sony- the PS3 it might be too early to say it will be last but that may also be a bad thing- they hype it up to make people think it will be #1 but we stll dont know... I think the war well end 360, Wii (also having the most dispersion rate because of low $ tag), PS3. and thats my 2 cents- theres more but thats another story...

This argument if funny! I think there is a bunch f kids on here fighting. I have bought every system that has been released in the pass, within 6 months of there release (to include the Dreamcast). In my opinion, the 360 is looking better because of the better line up. There is only a few PS3 games that I am interested in. MGS4 looks good because of the story, Assassins Creed turned out to be coming to the 360 at a later date and Final Fantasy 7 remake turned out to be fake. The 360 has a bunch of them coming out, Gears of War, Halo 3, Assassins Creed, Fable 2 and Bioshock, just to name a few. Lets also not forget that there are a few good games already out for the 360, Elder Scrolls 4, Far Cry (even though it is pretty much a remake), Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Hitman: Blood Money. I am sure the PS3 will get a better lineup once the system is out for a while but as far as the war goes...PS3 has got a few years before they catch, let alone, pass the 360. The Wii...only games I like are Zelda and Metroid but have to give them props for the innovation...not enough for me to buy it though. By the way, I love my 360 but the best games so far have been on the PC.

Finally, the last game I want now on Xbox 360! Ubi, you rock!
Anyways to those ps3 fans who say "Teh GFX on Xbx phail and will make teh game suck. Its jsut a port!11!"
1: Get a dictionary
2: Learn how to spell.
3: The Xbox 360 and PS3 graphic Capabilities are the same. Only the PS3 can comprehend more advanced AI and physics (About 1.3% to be sure) Yet, I doubt with how confusing Blu-Ray is, they'll put out that extra 1.3%
4: If you don't believe me on 3, then tell me this. Sony had NO working PS3 at E3, so how could you play Assassin's Creed without a working PS3? Use a differenty System, an Xbox 360 (There was a black curtain at the conferance for Assassin's creed, behind that curtain was a 360......)
5: MGS will suck, Splinter Cell for the win!

I used to be a sony fanboy, but I got changed when the xbox came out, not because of Halo(although it is my all time favorite series in a video game), but because of first person shooters in general. Sony couldn't really offer me anything else except MGS and probably God of War, socom, and GTA (but I could always wait for it to come to the xbox). Then when xbox live came around a year later I couldn't resist and I was hooked. Games you bought for the xbox in like december, you would still be playing that same game months later, until a new one that caught your eye and you had enough money in your pocket, all because of xbox live. The PS2 couldn't offer me that kind of replay value, and being a teenager, I don't have that kind of cash to buy a new game and after about a week or two am done with it.
Then Halo 2 came out and was the absolute best, the story was great (the ending was a cliff hanger, but in Halo 3 you will get your fix, don't worry), the multiplayer was awesome and so on. I never played a game so much before. Who hasn't ever heard of Halo anyway, even my parents know what I am talkin about and kids at school and even my hockey teammates play it.
Now with the 360 out, it is absolutely mind blowing. And now I hear Assassins Creed coming to the 360, and a little while ago I heard GTA 4 is coming to the 360 the same day as the PS3, why would I even need a $600 dollar machine from Sony, I am not some Japanese game fanatic that loves crappy hit once wait your turn then hit again games anyway. Honestly, those are the most boring games in my opinion.
Another thing about the PS3, how come they copy everyone else. The controller at E3 really ticked me off and their knock off xbox live service got me pissed, who does that, where is the innovation.
I also remembered when the PS2 was about to come out, they were showing all rendered graphics and no gameplay. And when the console finally came, the graphics where no where near the caliber of the short trailers.
Assassins Creed coming to the 360 is great news. I find no reason to spend 600 dollars on a gaming console. And the 360 will win the console war, guarenteed, unless the PS3 can offer something worthy and actually show gameplay that looks just like the trailers, and can drop the price about 200 dollars, then maybe people will buy it. I mean, who the hell even heard of blu ray technology anyway if your from the real world.

The Xbox 360 has changed the gaming world. To me, the PS3 is just a bunch of ideas either stolen from Microsoft, or that fail.
