Deep down there's a part of me that does a double take every time I see a used PS3 copy at a game store. In fact, the ONLY console I don't own The Godfather on is the PlayStation 3.
For whatever reason (mostly having to do with my job), I ended up playing through the game on the PlayStation 2, original Xbox, PSP, Wii and Xbox 360. and I should know, I went through the game on five different consoles. Best selling games include: Halo 3, Gears of War, Call of Duty 4, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.Electronic Arts' first attempt at recreating The Godfather was, for the most part, a huge success. The system is backward compatible to play original Xbox games in addition to Xbox 360 titles (more than 1,000 titles). Microsoft's released the successor to the Xbox, the Xbox 360, in November 2005. Several of the launch titles for the Xbox enjoyed overwhelming success-most notably Halo: Combat Evolved, which became the signature game for the system. The system sold relatively well, topping 25 million consoles by the end of its production run in 2006, but failed to supplant Sony's PlayStation line as the dominate home console (both the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 sold more than 100 million units apiece). In addition, the console was capable of playing standard DVDs through a multimedia expansion pack. To this end, designers included an Ethernet port that allowed players access to Xbox LIVE (launched in November 2002), an online, real-time gaming community available for a monthly subscription fee. Microsoft envisioned their system as more than a home video game console they developed the Xbox as a revolutionary home-entertainment vehicle.
Microsoft's other main rival for market share, Nintendo, launched their next-generation system, the much-anticipated GameCube, in November as well.
Their first system, the Xbox, debuted on Novemamid a market dominated by Sony Computer Entertainment and the immensely successful Sony PlayStation 2. In the late 1990s, Microsoft made the decision to jump into the fiercely competitive-and potentially highly lucrative- video game console market.
