What about EA? That guy annoys me. I like what he has to say, but only when the main points are distilled into bulletpoints... in text. :)

HE SAID GODFATHER WILL BE THE BEST VIDEO GAME EVER!!!

Holy shit i cant believe he said that. His reason was because the Godfather movie was the best movie ever.

This guy has his shit together. Face it, EA has been a consistantly profitable company and they have franchises that sell in multiple regions regardless of quality. Godfather will be a big seller because its a game based on godfather with one of brando's last performances. That alone will garner the game some more hype upon release.

So, yes, buy buy buy.

I think you're overestimating the respect most of the Madden-buying mouth-breathers have for the Godfather. Scarface and Goodfellas are more likely to top their gangster movie charts.

IMO.

HE ALSO GUARANTEED A PS3 SHORTAGE.

His reason, because there was a Xbox 360 shortage.


Seems sound enough for me. If MS, the biggest fucking company in the world, had trouble shipping out 360s, how will Sony fair with slightly more advanced technology.

There are many ways to reason a PS3 shortage.

EA may derrive a large chunk of its loyalty from its sports games, but the companies assets are so diverse, and their history so established in the industry, its supporters are more than just mouth breathing trogladites who play madden.

Like it or lump it, EA is a trusted brand with many and when they see the EA logo on the Godfather game box, they are guaranteed a certain level of quality (that quality, we'll have to see)

Isn't the CPU the biggest hurdle MS is having with 360s?

If so the logic fails, since I believe Sony's said they're 100% ready to start pumping out Cells, and already have on a smaller scale.

So, what you are saying is that Sony will be able to produce enough Ps3s to meet initial demand??

Hahaha, hell no.

I'm saying that relating MSs shipping problems (CPUs) to Sony (CPU unlikely problem, many other factors [intentional shortage] are) doesn't work.
 
You're forgetting just how often their non-sports games perform poorly. All Bond games bombed last year, as did the last Medal of Honor.

I never specified MS's woes were caused by CPU production. Consider me ignorant on the subject. There are other similar factors that will come into play for a shortage, such as a Blu-ray drive (of which regular players are not even on the market) and sony's reputation for sloppy hardware (I own a Ps1, PS2 and PSP, so I know what that is all about).

we don't know yet, but anyone could say that sony will have shortage problems, and sinse we dont know what will cause them, we can look at super hug MS and only assume that the smaller co, Sony will have similar manufacturing problems.


Thats all there is to it,

So, in summary, buy the fuck out of EA. They is a juggernaut of a company.

He also said that EA will get nothing but bad press this year... pushing the stck down to bargain levels.

The plan is to aquire the stock this year, with the expectation that in 2007 it will shoot up.

the real reason behind 360 production problems are not really known at this point, most analyst assume that it's because of the low xenon yields since it was the only factor mentioned as a possible future problem by some ms execs before the launch.

Also foreseeing short term shortages for any kind of hardware launch in videogame industry has always been common practice. Considering the limited amount of time sony has to manufacture millions of units, the complexity of ps3 hardware and the consumer's high demand for the product, it's almost certain that there will be short term shortages for ps3.
