both the ps1 and ps2 were (are) ten year systems
what exactally is bs?
We sure have a lot of Sony fanboys here.
Agree with Erik; both MS and Sony sell their respective consoles at a loss, looking to recuperate in game sales; MS has done this, especially since the release of Halo 3. Sony hasn't even been able to move enough systems. As far as I am concerned, GT5 is PS3's only bright spot.
Keep in mind stand-alone HD-DVD players are available now for $100 or so.
The driving model in GT4 does not even compare to the one in Forza 2, so asking which game you prefer is simply asking what type of game you prefer: arcade, or semi-sim. We'll see how GT5 fares. At this point, all we know about GT5 is that it looks very pretty, but what new release doesn't these days?
Someone mentioned the Wii and how it sells more than the 360. Who cares? The Wii is for little kids and people who can't handle violence or cool racing games.

I love how the PS3 guys talk about Microsoft having Xbox issues and that i believe someone said 1/3 of them had problems.....don't know where they got that number but anyway, you would think that a company (Sony) who had two console hits like the Playstation and Playstation 2 would be able to progress into the third.
As soon as they caught wind of what Microsoft was doing it was a one-up battle, if Microsoft is supproting HD-DVD then we need Blue-Ray, their HD-DVD isn't in the console, then we need to intergrate ours. We need 20, no 40 no 80, damn no 120 gigs HDD. It'll be backwards compatible, until a couple of months into the release, oh wait, why aren't my old games working? Can it cook burgers like the George Foreman Grill, NO??? Then it should.
Sony got lost on the way to the Console Wars. Microsoft had a plan and implemented it. Agreed they did piss some off with the late release of the HDMI Elite but all in all not too bad. And look at Nintendo, sitting pretty. Meanwhile Sony is still lagging in third. Making excuses, hemorrhaging money hand over fist ($844 M). Microsoft knew they would loose money with the original Xbox and now with the 360 so that they couls take market share from Sony. To my knowledge Sony expected a hit.
Sony has only a handful of "exclusive" titles which matters to most gamers when they buy a system. All their "exclusive" titles got tired of waiting for the PS3 to release that they jumped ship to develop for 360 which is why Assasin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto and others have now come to 360.....
Agreed the GT games have been great, I've played them and ejoyed them. I owned a Plyastation, moved to Xbox and have stayed with the 360. As far as I'm concerned Forza 2 beats the GT games so far. The next version will be even better.
When the 360's run comes to an end and it's successor comes thru it will be the death blow to Sony who will be left wondering what happened.
Oh how the mighty have fallen........
Each car in GT4 had 5,000 polygons; in GT5 they have 200,000!

The car in these games felt too slow and.. I dont know, im not a hardcore gamer or anything, but i thought they became boring very fast..
I prefer PGR4!! Best racing game I've ever played!
PGR2 > PGR4. By a lot.

project gotham has about as much to do with racing as x wing vs tie fighter
Screw Forza 2. I know what I'll sell (parts of) my liver for!
I'm buying this. I hope the have body customization, that's a bit of a make-or-break point.
what the hell, I'll probably buy this instead and worship it.
To Sam.
We get it, you like your Xbox. Shut the hell up already.
But, the PS3 is a better deal. The 40GB PS3 for $400 has WiFi and Blu-ray built in. The 360 Elite costs $449.99 and only has 80GB more HD space, but no WiFi or HD-DVD compatibility. Add that on to make it comparable to a PS3 and you are looking at spending another $279.99.
Since the PS3 utilizes Blu-ray for games, it allows developers to fit more content onto a single disc. I doubt they could fit GT5 onto one DVD for the Xbox. Xbox makes you pay for online, while online play for the PS3 is free. The PS3 uses Bluetooth and supports up to 7 controllers to Xbox's 4.
But what do I know. Obviously since you bash anyone who even mentions the PS3 you know more than me. But while your Xbox is being repaired due to the RROD (Note the Xbox has a 33%+ failure rate), I'll be playing GT5 and watching my movies in high-def.
Dam! Cant wait for this game. Thank god i kept it in my pants and held out to buy a ps3, well worth it.

anyway, do yourself a favor and get the X360 with Forza 2 bundled. You can thank me later.
