The recent NPD hardware sales figures have lead to some labeling the PS3 "a sinking ship" that is "dying on the shelves." But is it really all that bad for Sony and the PS3 or is there some light at the end of the tunnel?
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.
Not even saving can save the suckstation 3.
No its not dead.
Yes it needs a price cut.
We get it.
the ps3 dose not need saving it needs stopping because its taken over man
xbox has nothing
ps3 is the past present and future so what now
people are bring ps3 down
lol it sells over 15 million consoles without a price cut
with the xbox price cut way down it will sell
ps3 299 - more money to sony no need to cut price cause they will cut the price when they do what xbox are doing
Cut price to gain sales
How thick can some people be
dont u think if sony was going down the pan for sales etc they would be scared can cut the price of ps3 ? really
Xbox dose nothing but steal exclusives and do u really deserve them lol
Oh and the BIG GTA waste of money lol what a joke that is
well guess what u can keep it cause even if it was on ps3 pc or whatever i still would not download it
xbox should be scared of the next GTA been a ps3 exclusive
dont ya think if ps3 and sony was sinking they would cut the price
yes
they are enjoying the full price cause they are selling right to the point when it gets critical what will be never lol
if you are selling better by 60% compare to last year?. Why cut the price if you are going to reach your target sales with current price.
Please people. Sony knows alot more about the console industry than these so called journalist knows.
If the PS3 was selling as bad as it did at 600 USD last year, Sony will drop the price like they did. Sony has a business to run. They care more about their bottom line than appeasing some idiots that are asking Sony for a price drop to get Sony back in the race.
