Xbox 360 dominates CeBit, not a PS3 in sight

[Zeus]

UK web publication Hexus reports that the Xbox 360 is currently dominating CeBit which is due to kick off from tomorrow. There is a whole line of Xbox 360 pods and absolutely no PS3's in sight.

It's Microsoft and the Xbox 360 who are out in force though, because aside from the huge World Cyber Games main stage, where 200 gamers from across the world will be battling it out for International pride, it has a moderate presence with the Xbox 360 console and considering that CeBIT is primarily a technology show, they dominate a decent chunk of the hall, where incidentally there's not a PS3 in sight.

As you can see from the pictures, aside from seeing Microsoft employees busily unpacking boxes, there are a line of Xbox 360 pods set next to the main World Cyber Games stage, plus two booths, where gamers will be able to play some of the latest games.

Unfortunately, all of the monitors and Xbox 360 consoles were turned off, so we have no idea what games will be on show.

Hey, 33% may not be working right but the rest that are, they are playing the games that PS3 crowd dreams about and salivates over.

Just because you're never heard of it means no one cares about it?

Ignorant ....................!!!

It looks as if the enclosure is almost skintight around the console. There's no room for it to breathe. But what does everybody say when a RROD occurs?

Answer: Did you have it in a well ventilated area?

[medicine_pill]

Your an idiot if you have never heard of CeBit.

I would take a PS3 over an Xbox any day of the week.

i sure hope they got some good ventalation for them.....and some unreleased demos maybe??

[Taft]

Lolz.. read everybody's comment. *You an idiot, no you are* hahaha :p

My God, this is getting pathetic. Sony whores just can't stay out of the 360 threads, let alone say anything truthful. 33% failure rate? I could have sworn that there's recently been 10 or so sources recently saying that it's 16% at the most. Oh well, I guess misquotation is the new cool, and no one knows cool more than fanboys.

erm, I'm a 360 owner. I don't care what percentage the failure rate is, the fact is it's way too high and unacceptable. You are a fine one to talk about fanboys! My original post was just a joke but I'm not surprised it got a 360 fanboy all defensive of his beloved piece of plastic :rolleyes:

What is CeBit?

What is CeBit?

Wiki:

CeBIT (Centrum der Büro- und Informationstechnik; German for "Centre of Office and Information technology") is the world's largest computer expo. It is held each spring on the world's largest fairground in Hanover, Germany, and is a barometer of the state of the art in information technology.

Makes sense.

Mostly everyone in Europe is aware of the better quality the PS3 can offer compared to the 360 so this is just another attempt to pick up sales for it.

Let's see if it works and hopefully none of them will get the Red Ring of Death, otherwise it won't be pretty.

I actually wasn't talking about you, yet you DO play the most obvious card any fanboy from any field plays, accusing others of being fanboys. :rolleyes: I myself have never had RROD on either of my 360s, but I have experienced dead consoles due to shotty manufactoring. What I meant by pathetic is that every damn thread in this forum, you can find some Sony fanboy just littering their BS. Don't get me wrong, you can find the same thing in the PS3 forum, just at a much smaller scale.

Just cause I have a 360 must make me a MS fanboy, right? I guess that means that I must get rid of my PSP and PS2 then, huh? Just to make your statements true I mean.

Better quality hardware? Yes. Better games? No.

Go Go Sony Media Player 3
