In March Gaming Target wrote "Stick a Fork in the PS3, It's Done", an editorial refuting the claim that 2008 would be "The Year of the PlayStation 3." Their inbox was stuffed with hate mail. They were called all sorts of names and yet, with 2008 in the books, Sony has continued to provide ample proof that the PS3 is destined to join the ranks of the great blunders of history.
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.
Oh good another "PS3 is Doomed" article.
1). MGS4 sold more than 4 million copies.
2). LBP sold 1.28 million. A new IP which is not a shooter is pretty good.
Seriously these articles are getting lamer and lamer. When did every gamer became stock broker for sony or microsoft? Sony had better exclusives both in terms of quantity and quality this year. Yes gears 2 sold more than R2 and LBP but when did sale became the criteria of determining good game?
Heck even Too Human sold a million copy it doesn't mean it was a great game. There is some kind of issue why ps3 owners aren't buying enough games and 360 owners will buy anything they can get there hands on.

People disagreeing with me kindly give me a logical reason as well.
This is a joke
"EA dropped support for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 and never even considered bringing Command & Conquer 3 to the system."
As we know it is back on and it is the superior version to boot.
"Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon. Tales of Vesperia was published by Namco Bandai only on the Xbox 360 because, according to them, the PS3 development platform was not ready when development on the game began."
Destroy All Humans is still on the PS3 is it only canceled in the US and will be out on the PS3 in Europe. The game got poor reviews anyway and got poor sales even on the 360. The PS3 was not released when Tales of Vesperia started development. It doesn't stop them now to release it if they wish.
I believe WKC will be a turning point in Japan. I feel JRPG's will start going on to the PS3 after WKC success. It look like developers were afraid to release RPG's on the PS3 in case they sold poorly hence we say nothing. With Sony taking the first step things might improve.
U read my mind brother
Who needs proof i could have told you DAY 1.
