  1. PS3 outsold Xbox 360 in the US this month to stop 360 being the no.1 console for the 33rd consecutive month. The GTA 5 bundle got it to no.1

    Like I said, the USA is Xbox territory.

  2. How do you have access to pre order numbers in the US or North America?

    You say "the real fun will start when the consoles are released and Xbox may well sell as many consoles as the Playstation 4. I doubt it but its possible"

    No the real fun starts when gamers start playing games on the new consoles and dont get their kinckers in a twist about sales numbers.

    Yeah, its "all about the games", I've heard that one a million times, lol. The business aspect of it is of great interest to some but I can understand if that side of things bores others.

  3. Edge has done an MS with a full 180...

    No one expected this from Edge after how much they have been bigging up the PS4.

    Yeah, quite a turnaround but strange how Microsoft fans believe that article but dismiss any pro-Sony article from Edge, lol. Reminds me of Rangers fans who dislike the Daily Record because they are apparently anti-Rangers but then retweet links to their articles if its something they agree with. :)

    The Xbox has definitely won the pre-order battle from August 23 - October 21st in the USA though with 175k orders compared to Sony's 125k but this can be attributed to Playstation buyers knowing what they were buying and getting their orders in earlier. As it stands the Playstation has 725k orders in total compared to Xbox's 525k. Of course, the real fun will start when the consoles are released and Xbox may well sell as many consoles as the Playstation 4. I doubt it but its possible. (we also have to remember that the USA is typically Xbox territory so it will be interesting to get the figures for Europe and Japan)

  4. Nah, keep Gibraltar because it pisses off Spain and makes Argentina call the Spanish hypocrites because they won't back them up over ownership of the Falklands. :)

    Seriously though, I'm quite intrigued as to how they'll get on at the qualifiers for the European Championships. They've got a few English players in their team who play non-league footy, lol.

  5. 1) Red Dead Redemption

    2) Modern Warfare 2

    3) GTA V

    4) Saints Row 2

    5) Broken Sword 4

    The first 2 Resi Evil games (Especially the second) were one off's.

    No other Resi came IMO has come close.

    Resident Evil Code Veronica was good. (which was supposed to be Resident Evil 3 and Nemesis was supposed to be the add-on)

    But yeah, the first two are by far the best.

  6. Laudrup, Gazza and Albertz.

    Arteta, the De Boers and Gio were sore one's also but not on the level of the three above.

    Gattuso? He wasn't really that good when he was at Rangers.

    ps, I remember reading an article that the one season contract extension Laudrup eventually signed made him the second highest paid player in the world behind Jay Jay Okocha at PSG. Not sure if that's true but wasn't he on £55k or something?....

  7. Takes me back to the Sunday morning's when Football Italia was on Channel 4...

    Vialli, Ravaneli, Del Pierro, Di Livio, Montero, Zidane, Trezeguet, Nedved, Buffon, Davids, Thuram and Co were at Juventus whilst Paul Ince was rocking an Inter Milan jersey.....

    Italian footy has gone right downhill these days.

  8. Talk of Paul Di Resta not having a drive next season. He'd be a huge loss to Formula 1 although I expect he'd eventually get another drive. His problem is sponsorship.

    Bugs me that the best drivers can lose their seat because of this.
