Not surprising since I love my PS3 and only rented all of those games but Killzone, and when Halo 3 was new I bought it. It's all about multiplayer I believe

Ick, don't get me started on Halo 3's campaign. What the crap was up with killing Johnson but keeping the Arbiter, who practically had a neon sign reading "MARTYR" strapped to his back, alive? To be fair, Modern Warfare 2 also had a plot that put my brain through a cheese grater and it was still incredible.

The fact that Aaron Greenberg publicly thinks that Halo 3 is a quality game is just a presumed fact, seeing as how he is Microsoft's Director of Product Management.

But seriously people, does this not seem to be nothing more than a guy sharing an interesting fact about his company's product?

Thats not even a remotely fair compararison,, God of War three only just come out didnt it?
So? Most sales are during the first couple of months of a game's release.
And besides, the whole "fair" argument isn't really valid seeing as halo 3 is being pitted against 6 other popular games and still winning in terms of sales.

This means what exactly? I'm not concerned with sales. I'm more concerned with quality. Halo 3 was a pretty good game, but I think that the PS3 has a few titles that are better than it in terms of quality. Besides, the Gears of War series is better than Halo.

It isn't "fair" when you pit Halo 3, a huge blockbuster IP, against two brand new franchises (and launch titles no less). I direct you to my previous post [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.200758-Halo-3-Outsells-PS3s-Heavy-Hitters-Combined?page=4#6624443]. Take those sales numbers however you want, but I, personally at least, don't really think it's fair to compare new IPs to the huge franchise of Halo.

Ahhh the pre-E3 flamebait.
Nobody does it like MS.

Really this isn't too surprising. Halo has a lot of rabid fanboys.
Also doesn't the 360 have a disc eating problem? There are probably a lot of people who had to buy it twice.

My Warhawk disc still works but if my ps3 decided to sandpaper it, I would probably buy it again.
I had a problem with it, though it wasn't the disks, turned out my X-box forgot how to read disks...although i had it for about 4 to nearly 5 years so it was an old timer which had already been fixed once...i assumed it was the same 1. so i bought it about 4 times when really my x-box was to blame...glad i got the elite system now.

Anyways, not surprising really, Halo is a huge in the world of gaming, although i would like to see other Sony titles in this, like MGS4 and MAG...then i think they would have to include the whole Halo series...which would be pointless...

basically, im saying who gives a fuck =P

Wow, a company noticed that one of their products was doing well and though to mention it on Twitter to people who had chosen to follow them. Yeah, wow, such obvious flamebaiting. *facepalm* The internet has turned the world stupid.

So what exactly is wrong with an executive bragging about the success of his product over a competitor's? Hell, I find this sort of thing pretty amusing.

Funnily enough, all the exclusives he listed were better than Halo 3. He also didn't mention Little Big Planet, not that it necessarily matters, but I'm just sayin'.

I just rekindled my interest in Halo, and now they had to say something like that?

It seems sort of fair, considering 1. There's more Xbox 360s that PS3s and 2. There aren't as many MS heavy hitters than Sony Heavy Hitters. Most 360 Exclusives are of lower quality than PS3 exclusives, so that's why the good ones are marketed the fuck out.
Anyways,

This is awesomeness on a stick. Not the article but the replies are genius. I would like to point out the small fact that using the whole "not as many people own PS3's" is not helping the cause at all. That is kinda the point.

WOOT!

I prefer the Xbox 360 over the PS3 by a long shot.

People mostly get the PS3 for the Blu-Ray, whereas the 360 has mostly all of the good exclusives.

Plus I'm willing to pay $5 a month for a service that is so much higher quality than PSN.
