IGN is US only sale figures.

Nice now that the whole get-along gang got the APB and done patting each other on the back...

Yes, it is "sad". When the best thing on the 360 in 09 was an xbla game Shadow Complex, Forza and multiconsole releases such as AC2 and MW2, not to mention Batman:AA which one best 360 title , another multiconsole rls.

Sad, indeed.

I don't think MS has pushed Sony as much as they've gotten too comfortable with the lead they established. It's the Turtle vs Rabbit race... MS dropped the ball in 09. Sony simply capitalized.

Just pointing out my original argument, These numbers don't surprises me after witnessing the drastic decrease in MS' performance in 09.

Not our fault your views are so far out of whack that no one can make sense of them never mind agree on them.

So you guys predicted MS to lay practically dormant for over a year, allowing Sony to gain ground?

Sounds like they're even now eh? Sony started a year late while MS later takes a year off themselves.

Yea, totally saw his coming..

I expected Sony to completely crush MS in Japan sooner and possibly do the same in Europe sooner, especially with the RROD coming close to crippling the 360's reputation. I'm glad Sony is catching up but the real question comes down to what will happen Kinect/Move and which company will reveal its next platform first. We are in the tail end of this generation and everything/everyone is going to start looking forward in the next year or so.

Yea, best thing MS did was extend its warranty. Without it, they would've kissed their first year headstart goodbye. Pretty much kept their consumers at bay by doing so. With that, there was really no reason to invest in a whole other 'nex-gen' console just a year later. Especially one with an insane pricetag with new technology no dev wanted to come near lol.

The whole Move/Kinect will be interesting to see whether people will invest in a new gimmick, or an upgraded version of an already successful one.For me, 360/Ps3 is synonymous with hardcore gamer, which imo gives the slight advantage to the Move. All while trying to hijack the Wii casual/family fanbase. Seems like a win/win formula.It's all on Sony pricing and marketing now...

Well, as it stands Kinect is a better price for its capability despite the entry for Move being cheaper. Still, the real question comes down to how will the devs utilize this tech. Move really can't go anywhere with just being an improved Wiimote. It needs something that it can claim as its own, that it does better and nothing else can do. Devs need to cling to that part of it, use it and enhance their games (enhance, not build around it). And, if these things happen we might get something completely new next generation. If not, then the next generation will leave the devices behind.

You could say Sony dropped the ball all the previous years then, Que 360 Slim which we already know is selling ridiculus and then throw a new Halo into the equation. People may dislike it but it sells more then half the PS3 A1 exclusives combined and will push more consoles out the door then any other game this year. Microsoft know how to advertise a product and well.

I didn't realize Halo 3: ODST did that well... I haven't noticed as much Halo hype as there used to be.

I don't doubt Reach will sell well.

But i think people are already feeling the burn from it already.

I had 1-3 and noway I'd spend a dime on another installment personally.

The Madden of first person shooters...

That would be Call of Duty, not Halo. Every halo has offered new features, game modes, storylines, mechanics, etc. A majority of Halo games were released with 3-5 year dev cycles. I'm pretty sure Madden/NFL/NCAA games aren't like that. It is foolish to even compare them to each other.

Meh, it's all good. That's exactly how I would've described CoD.

We're a bit off topic with that though.

I still feel Halo is on the decline. And last I read, ODST wasn't all that great. Reach may sell well, but I don't think it will make a significant difference.

You do realize that Black Ops is on the PS3 too, right? And move is on the way as well. Along with FFXIV, The Agency and DC Universe.

you make this sound like COD Black Ops and FFXIV are BIG CONSOLE TITLES>

the fact is big deal there on a console any real player will be cought playing these on there PC instead.

Faster/Better Looking/ Oh and Dedicated Servers, (FFXIV will have there realem servers as well) COd BLack Ops did infact letting other once again HOST Dedication server >

The above titles will nto drive up console sale. so it not a big deal to ether compenie

you make this sound like COD Black Ops and FFXIV are BIG CONSOLE TITLES>

COD is, it's one othe biggest game franchises around! And all downloadable content is exclusive to 360, or so I believe. As for FF, it's a huge game with a big following and it's shift to the 360 says something.

I don't know I'm just replying to him and my prediction it'll do better on PS3 than Windows.

Pretty sure he isn't talking about 13 though.

It will sell "less" on Windows, but there will be more copies running on Windows than PS3. cool.gif

Wow...sad to see all the corporate lap dogging here.

At this point its obvious that Sony has ALL the momentum behind them. Kinect could be a hit or a miss, while Move is a safe bet imho, and its clear that the PS3 has a better game lineup heading into the Christmas season this year.

It's the same in any 'sales' thread tbh. All I know is that I've been happy with my PS3 purchase and really looking forward to GT5 coming out now. Between the release of the machine and it FINALLY arriving, I've managed to play some great multi-platform games and some amazing exclusives. Can't complain really :)

What, all 2 games? LBP2 and GT5?

    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.

    • They have lots of info on me, I have a facebook account and have done so for years, it was the thing to have then. My phone number is not on it. I don't have the Facebook app on my phone these days, just the messenger part, and only for a couple of people to contact me, most will text me via SMS or phone. I agree, Meta, like others, even without an account will know something about me. Just have to try and keep some things private Also, never saw the need for Whatsapp, people used to ask for me to join it, but as I said to them, I have SMS and a phone, use that, or email
