So, I went to one of the Game lockin thingies, it's not like there's much else going on on a Tuesday night, and it was quite good.
A little underwhelming, as the 'next' generation isn't the same sort of leap that we've seen before. The games effectively looked like pretty xbox360 games.
Certainly, if you weren't convinced before, I don't think you would have been by having a hands-on.
Still, I wanted one before, and I still do. I'm just not pre-ordering, and will see how sales go before I make a decision.
The controller was different to what I was expecting. Noticeably smaller, and a lot lighter. They've not just moved the battery inside the controller, it feels like they took away the battery pack altogether.
The rumble effects on the triggers were good too, with Forza 5 using them to simulate ABS rumbling.
Dead Rising 3 was the biggest surprise though, genuine, mindless fun. I think everyone enjoyed that the most. Quite impressive the number of zombies on screen at any one time too.
It only took 3 years but the PS3 has finally outsold the 360. Last month was the first time that it's happened, and I find that pretty amazing. Many are saying it's because Sony had a bundle with GTA5 or something. And I guess it wasn't worldwide, just here, so meh.
Do you mean finally outsold on a monthly basis? Or finally outsold overall? Both of them would have been before this month, as wikipedia has 78 million units sold in March for PS3 and 78 million units sold in June for X360. For PS3 to catchup, it must have been outselling the xbox for a number of months.
Still, given the margins, the 'winner' is meaningless. What's important is that we had good competition between the two, with no outright winner other than us gameplayers.
