Apple's iPhone - Image 1


It looks like the most popular gadget in Europe this Christmas is the Wii if online searches are anything to judge by. According to the figures released by comScore Inc., the gadget most frequently searched for in online engines in Europe is the Nintendo Wii.

Their figures reflect the most searched for gadgets for the first three weeks of November in the UK, France and Germany. Their results only come from Internet connections from homes and work locations and don't include places like net cafes and mobile phones.

The most popular gadget following the Wii is the Apple iPod, followed by the Nintendo DS, the Sony PlayStation Portable and the Apple iPhone. Nintendo and Apple should get ready to clean up for the holiday season.

Microsoft's Xbox 360 console is the fourth favorite in the UK, the sixth in France but only the ninth in Germany. The Sony PlayStation 3, on the other hand, ranks at seventh place in the UK, tenth in France and doesn't even appear in Germany's top 10 although the PlayStation 2 is in tenth place.

Special mentions go to the Nokia N95 who appeared in the favorites list in all three countries: it ranked in ninth place in the UK, seventh in France and sixth in Germany.

If they're hard to find in stores, people are searching for them. It's not hard to figure out.

Doesn't mean people want them more.

"This Wii I don't want is hard to find. Let's go search for one."

XBOX 360s and PS3s people want are in stores and don't need to be searched for. The smarter consumers who know they're better already know about them.

Yeah you're stupid.

I’m extremely fed up with all those fanbots who say ‘my console (X360 or PS3)’ is better than ‘your console (X360 or PS3)’. After reading this article, one entire group of fankids (either the X360 community or the PS3 community) will have to shut their pie holes for good (millions of fanbots!!!).

[ Top ‘17’ X360 exclusive games ]
- Gears of War: graphics! all you do is hide-shoot-hide-shoot-hide-shoot-... (repeat this 3000 times more) / 90pts
- BioShock: graphics! only 10 hours long, no reason to replay / 90pts
- Halo 3: almost same gameplay as the 3 year old Halo 2, terrible and highly pixelated graphics (in close proximity) / 70pts (or 120pts if you are a fanboy)
- Project Gotham Racing 4: sweet graphics / 80pts
- Forza Motorsport 2: all those customization is only for lifeless garbage kids / 70pts
- Burnout Revenge: at first sight it looks fantastic, but once you played it for 1 hour then it gets extremely boring / 70pts
- Dead or Alive 4: 60pts
- Mass Effect: this game’s graphics is even much worse than 2 year old game, Perfect Dark Zero, bad frame rate very frequently (LOL), the gun fight is terrible and laughable (just compare with any shooter game): 40pts
- Command & Conquer 3: 50pts
- Eternal Sonata: garbage / 30pts
- Saints Row: terrible frame rate all the time and blend graphics / 30pts
- Dead Rising: 70pts
- Lost Planet: 70pts (if only a few things were right, this deserves 90pts)
- Crackdown: mediocre gameplay is mixed with average graphics / 60pts
- Prey: X360 version was rushed, terrible frame rate with average graphics, garbage multiplayer too / 50pts
- Blue Dragon: 90pts (if your mental maturity is ten), or 30pts
- Quake 4: X360 version was rushed, horrible frame rate with medium graphics, the multiplayer is trash / 50pts
- Final verdict: the average value of ‘9’ best X360 exclusive games is: 76pts (top 9 among these 17)

[ Top ‘17’ PS3 exclusive games ]
- Warhawk: technologically and graphically mind-blowing, because the map is ridiculously huge, ground combat is terrible, but the air combat is groundbreaking / this is the real bomb, a lot of X360 fanbots I know are mesmerized by this game / 90pts (points)
- Resistance Fall of Man: when you look at things in close proximity they are very ugly and highly pixelated, mediocre graphics in general! mindless run & gun garbage / 70pts
- Uncharted Drake's Fortune: luscious graphics! but the entire game’s 5 hours long, and there’s no reason why you want to play it again / 60pts
- MotorStorm: amazing graphics and technological achievement! the game has only a few modes (you only play same modes again and again) / 70pts
- Heavenly Sword: gorgeous graphics! but the combat sucks, and the whole game’s 6 hours long, no reason to play again / 60pts
- Ratchet & Clank Future: fantastic 90pts (if you’re mentally 10 year old) / 40pts (if you’re older than ten)
- Ninja Gaiden Sigma: Sigma’s pretty much same as years old game, Ninja Gaiden Black / 50pts
- Folklore: it was hyped a lot too / 30pts
- Lair: extremely hyped, but failed / 20pts
- I need 8 more PS3-only games, but all the other PS3-only games are garbage... If I list 8 more PS3-only games here, it will only dramatically lower the average score for PS3 to zero...
- Final verdict: the average value of the best PS3 exclusive games is: only 54pts

i do value almost everyone opinion. Also i replied to AoxomomoxoA's post. His post is pointless and he fails to establish any legit point to any game. He's citing stuff said in certain reviews rather then showing personal experience. Its as if i told you Cod4 is terrible it has short campaign and mediocre multi player. Thats bs i havent even played the game multi player to determine that. Thats what AoxomomoxoA did through his whole post because i doubt he bought 34 games.
