PS3 VS PS2

The ps3 is following the ps2. If you compare the ps2 launch date with ps3, both of them were are on the same road map. This is just to show you sony is doing something right.

And people wouldn`t believe me, I lost alot of bubbles for it aswell.

Beleive it or NOT, it`s TRUE.

Personally I think PS3 will outsell the PS2 when it`s all said and done. Because it`s that much more impressive.

Capt CHAOS6500d ago

My first PS2 was the best way into DVD, and back in those days, everyone was raving about how cool DVD is (compared to VHS). Not many people are raving about the hi-def stuff so the main selling point has to be games this time around.

I know lots of people who are happy with their PS2's and the thing is still selling well..

shine13966500d ago

actually...no....things ought to be doing better...this is basically saying that the ps3 has some hope left...ps2>miles better after poor start(GT/MGS/ff/gta took if off>>PS1 and Ps1>miles better after poor start, tekken 2 kicked it all off>>n64.

price cut is what turned it around for ps3 thus far...of course like everyone is saying...big guns are still really to come out...sony has tons of things in its locker yet...

theredfoxisquick6499d ago

Yeah and now in 2008 it looks like the ps3 will get that simlliar sales boost that the ps2 got. 360 of course is lagging behind because it failed in japan and is not doing as well in europe or australia.

warhawk12346500d ago

Thats some good info I have to say because I remember that.

Captain Tuttle6500d ago

Or is it only correct when it shows something favorable to Sony?

crematory6500d ago

so stop talk about ps2 for now and enjoy ps2 with this oustanding game

toughNAME6500d ago

bubble Turtle for beating me to it, because you'll probably lose some

@Cyber Sentinel

Even Steve Urkel knows that VGChartz is garbage. And I am still stuck back in the 90's.

My time machine was broken when I went back to get some cheese.

Did I do that?

dan-boy6499d ago (Edited 6499d ago )

man this site! look at your disagrees building up aswell lol! in ten years the ps3 mite get somewhere near the ps2, but in all honesty i cant see sony selling more than 60mil units!

it will beat the 360 without doubt, and may catch the wii, but sony will never again dominate like they used too! and in the next-gen of consoles....well, imo sony will see even more of what was once their exclusive market taken from them.

now watch my disagrees build up!

and how can vgchatrz(of all sites mind-you) say that when the ps3 is getting stomped by the wii back home??? last gen, the ps2 ruled in every territory, now it's only in the EU where it's doing particularly well. in NA it's pretty much doing the same as the 360, and in japan, well, sony must be hating nintendo! and they're lucky the 360 was still born over there.

Electricear6499d ago

But I agree with people who say VGchartz is off typically with their predicted units moved, and their reported units moved for a given (current/past few) month(s) when compared to the NPD numbers; however, arn't these particular charts based off the final reported NPD numbers as well as similar reporting systems for other countries? As VGchartz didn't have their "sources" back when many of the older consoles came out. Thus to be accurate they would have to use similar reporting data. I would hope that the long term charts are based off more long term and reliable sources such as the NPD to keep the chats consistant.

Yeah the wii is selling a ton. But seriously who cares lol. I personally dont even classify the wii in the same catagory as the 360 let alone the ps3...

timmyrulz6500d ago

Ok the ps3 is setting the same pace as the ps2, but so is the xbox 360 and the wii is out pacing it so does that mean were going to have over 400 million consoles sold this Gen?....................

resistance1006500d ago

We are going to have alot thats for sure, far more than previous gen. People say that the wii has stolen the Ps2 crowd, however i disagree, the vast majority of Wii owners i suspect never brought a console before.

Either way i suspect both the Wii and Ps3 will top 100million this gen, with the 360 not far behind the Ps3

rawg6499d ago

PS2 sold to a smaller addressable market, add in the casual market, bluray buyers and new geographies (eastern europe, india, south america, china?) and it could be possible.

Could Indie Developers Save Parasite Eve

Three indie projects influenced by Parasite Eve are in the works, and a strong reception could motivate Square Enix to bring the series back.

Anything Parasite Eve coming back would be welcome.

Alek833d ago

I still replay both games from time to time. Would absolutely love either a reboot, a remaster, or a sequel.

LiViNgLeGaCY4d ago

At this point, I would settle for them to release the first game on PSN. Such a wonderful game.

Alek833d ago

Lol I think I'm one of the few people that liked the second game more than the first. Other than the story, I feel the second game improves on everything that made the first game so good.

CosmicTurtle4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

The complication is that it is a licensed property, originally a book. Square Enix have the rights to things they designed but not the overall property I believe.

Seven cancelled racing video games that could have been great

From a fourth Project CARS to a Dakar-style open-world racer that set the template for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here are seven racing games that didn’t quite make it.

Agent756d ago

Blur was decent, although the control system could've been better, Blur 2 in the video looks good. Project Cars was massively overrated and full of bugs, Dirt 3 yes, a new Dirt Rally no, rally games have passed me by. Project Gotham Racing 5, Ridge Racer 8, Wave Race 4, Crash Team Racing 2 are up there. Ridge Racer Unbounded had everything apart from the gameplay, there was also Split Second which was decent, the Burnout series became boring as with rally and F1 games. A new Wipeout is due, also F-Zero. I wouldn't say no to Outrun 2 on current consoles as long as it includes the exclusive Xbox tracks, then Outrun 3. Wipeout VR on the PS4 was awesome, that's due a sequel. I remember Buggy Boy on the Commodore 64 and Spectrum, that'll never see a sequel. The likes of Turismo and Forza have become boring. Forza Horizon not so much. Road Rash and Super Hang on 2 others. Chase HQ has never gained legendary status on any console.

Storm236d ago

I would do anything for a MotorStorm on PS5. Or just the trilogy in 4k/60. RIP Evolution.

darthv726d ago

Evolution did good on those games... but we don't need them for a trilogy remaster. It can be done by Sony's master of remasters: Bluepoint.

Storm236d ago (Edited 6d ago )

For sure. I don't even think it would need that talented of a studio. Upping the resolution and framerate would be all that's needed. Of course I would take the trilogy with a complete overhaul on the graphics, but upping the rez and framerate (and some great AA) would easily be enough for me.

If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.

DivineHand12510d ago

I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.

Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.

Knightofelemia10d ago

I wish Square would port other old games to newer systems I want Xenogears.

gold_drake10d ago
