While the budget-priced Wii has been outselling both PS3 and Xbox 360 since its release, the latter two have been duking it out for the number two spot aggressively in 2008, with Ad Age proclaiming that Sony may "be finally turning the corner" with PlayStation 3.
NPD analyst Anita Frazier says that regardless of how it may seem at the moment, the next-gen race is far from over.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.
S2Killinit
live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating
Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.
Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.
This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality
..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....
...Really???
PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.
Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.
He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
I don't think its too late for the PS3.
Both consoles are gonna sell a lot and produce many good games.
Of course it's not too late. I am Justice! There are so many rotten things in the world today. And I'm here to fix it.
Because those idiots shot themselves in the foot. This gen is turning out to basicly be a price war between PS3 and XBOX 360, because they are basicly the same product.
And Sony right away put themselves out by $200 dollars, they have fought but this still haunts them today. XBOX 360 is getting ready for another price drop, and it's gonns start smacking the PS3 again.
Poor PS3. Bet you if they could do it over again, they would of not DARED priced the PS3 at $600 at luanch. And they wouldn't of not DARED with Blu ray. Even they know it's a bust now.
Sony knows what's going on, but there crappy decisions are still costing them. I'm sure they regret it so bad.
Poor Xbots
Poor Xbots, by the end of next year for the PS3, PS3 owners will have GOW3, FF13, FF13 Verses, GT5, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Socom Confrontation, LittleBigPlant, HOME, White Knight Chronicles, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, Infamous, L.A. Noire, and there is a whole bunch more. Poor Xbots, the PS3 is only messing around at this point.
Poor Xbots
The PS3 is only in its second year and going strong! Anyone that says the war is over for any console is nothing more than a blind fanboy. Each console has a great chance of jumping up in sales, but I would dare to say the PS3 still has the most untapped potential and definitely more highly anticipated titles on the way in the future. We will have to wait and see what happens.
