How Sony’s PS3 Launch Will Make The PS4′s Better

PS4 Sony dot Net take a look at what hurt Sony in the launch of the PlayStation 3 and see how it may be beneficial to their launch of the PS4.

SasanovaS19875702d ago

theres no such thing. every console struggles in the beginning. its relatively new, so obviously killer aps cant come out when the developers are just starting to get comfy with developing for the system...

so why jeopardize a quality title for something mediocre just so you can release it in the beginning of a systems lifespan? to encourage sales. yes, it certainly sounds like something one should do, but lets be real, even today developers are trying to make full understanding with the ps3...and im glad...cus i dont want the games to be ALL THEY CAN BE the same month the console comes out...

i want to see something improve over time, and thats why i think you dont see good launches...yes, the price is expensive, but ur getting what u pay for...ur paying 600 on launch day for something that will last throughout the decade...thats dirt cheap in my opinion...how often do you spend 600 bucks on a TV for example, that will be obselete in 10 years...can the tv itself evolve? NO. can the ps3? certainly...

with time, it gets better and better, and you see the difference. you didnt buy hardware, you bought something that will continue to change as you do, and the price for that is justified.

now as time goes by, the console becomes cheaper...its cheaper cus youl spend less time with it, then the ones who bought it from the getgo. for extra 300 bucks, they spent 2 years with it already, something you can never take away from them, or give yourself...youl always be 2 years behind...again, that 300 is justified... and to make things sweeter, cus of that, i still have 4 usb slots, and backwars compatability, with all sorts of little camera USB slots, micro SD slots in the front, that you cant argue with your slim.

in the end, we seen the ps3 do exactly what ps2 did. doom articles here and there, but look at it now, 4 years down the road...it came, it saw, and it conquered once more...

Newtype5702d ago

Isn't this why the PS4 will have devs input?

blackbeld5702d ago

Trollers Alert!

Anyway PS3 will be on first place again. So get over it @below.

PS4 will be same as PS3,PS2,PS1 they always have slow start.

If you truly believe that the ps3 did not have a less than stellar launch.
You are guzzling Sony sauce if you are gonna excuse it by saying its cos it was a new product. . .wii was a new product, look how it did.
Anyway, Sony's biggest problem was ARROGANCE, the next generation doesn't start until we say so, well, it started and left you in 3rd place.
We want people to get 2 jobs to afford a ps3-or they could just get an x360 which had and still has more games...and look, they did exactly that.
This is living-no, that is lying
Of course people will buy it, its a Playstation-yeah how did that work out for you buddy?
They dropped the attitude and the price and things started working out. It's called karma baby, and it comes back around
Ps, what exactly has the ps3 conquered in its 4 years? As far as I know, its still in 3rd place and has the least software for multiplats and its awesome exclusives do not have fanbase support. Where has it conquered? People cant keep boasting about games they clearly do not buy. At least the other consoles have 1st party games that have sold more than 4 million.

XXXCouture5702d ago (Edited 5702d ago )

"and its awesome exclusives do not have fanbase support." that is the biggest pile of shit ive read in the comment section in weeks

oh yeah and by the way, both gears of war and halo isnt 1st party. they only got like fable and forza?

supremacy5702d ago (Edited 5702d ago )

For a guy whose name is justsomelogic, you sure are missing some.

No disrespect to you, but we all know sony was arrogant. They were coming of two decades worth of dominance.(what could they possibly learnerd from their competition if they were on top?)

Look at ms, they havent won a thing and you got guys like aron and nelson and that kinect creator talking cocky business as if the 360 is dominating the world (which also includes japan)

Ms has its share of arrogance, and until this day you got them reps talking and vidicating expensive perepherals, and network price hikes as if is a given.

Everyone here knows, that the only thing that trully harmed sony from the get go. Was nothing more than the 600 dollar price tag, I mean how many companies release a 600 dollar gaming device for the masses and manages a slow comeback? Certainly not the 3DO.

Also one has to look at all the facts, before trying to use assumption as logic or else theyll end up looking like a fool.

For starters, sony unlike microsoft let alone nintendo, has been...clawing its way and pushing different products that somehow tide their businesess together. Now regardless of how big sony is, thats a tough feat to address.

I mean there was the whole format war in which ms took part in some minor form in hopes to try and stop sony from trying to monetize something.

Ps2 to this day is still around, tell us how many companies you know has had a platform let alone two last a decade long in the market?

Marketing was another issue until recently, while a ms had a year start and a lot of support.

Sony had to essentially strategize as they moved along, and believe it has not been anything pretty.

Ms on the other hand would rip a fake tattoo of a multiplatform game that may at one point or another been a playstation exclusive and bragg about it like sonys doom they have no games blah blah. Man..please, now look at whats happening, its the other way around and now the talk is about kinect and halo.

Arrogance? Yeah sure but everyone knows that even ms has arrogance yet they still sell a boat load of systems. Price makes all the difference in the world, is ironic how the ps3 is still the only system of the 3 to see constant grow to growth on a yearly basis.

Lol man.. Had nintendo won 2 straight generations I am willing to bet, even they too would be cocky from the get go. The only reason why they have been humble all this time is because they, themselves, didnt even expect the wii to be a success. For all they knew the wii was nothing but an expetimental platform, of which today its competitors want a piece off.

Its simple, a year headstart by ms gave many a 360 in their homes whether defective or not.
The devs had enough time to learn the platform which has a very similar pc architecture to it by the way.
Ps3 launches a year later a higher price tag, and obviously not enough games at the start. Of which were not going to look as good as those gears of wars and bioshocks, being that these were games that launched a year later in the 360s life cycle?
Nintendo launches around the same time frame at 250 with one simple universal sku and in no time attracts many in japan and suddenly the market thats supposely dying has its effect trickle down on the rest of the world.

400 xbox360-250Wii-600ps3

You wouldnt be wise if you didnt see it this way.But thats just my opinion now. Just some obvious.

hot4play5702d ago

3rd place??? In terms of what? Please give us exact figures and be more specific.

If you wanna play the sales game:

Nintendo (Wii + DS) = 1st place

PlayStation BRAND (yes, PlayStation includes the PS3, PSP and PS2 because all are still in the market now. ANd a lot of people I know have no interest in home consoles, only portables) = 2nd place (not including last gen PS2 numbers)

XBOX 1 + 360 = distant 3rd

Also, Microsoft and Nintendo are just as arrogant as Sony. The 360 did no have a "stellar" launch as well. And what the hell are you talking about Sony exclusives not "getting fanbase support"??

SoapShoes5701d ago

Sure it wasn't that great of a launch, but it was better than PS2's launch and 360's launch. PS2 launch sucked harder and the 360 had nothing, it just got hyped due to the fact that it was the first new console(ala Dreamcast which had the same effect until the hype was crushed and Sega made stupid business moves).

dabri55702d ago

I just hope the price is around 300-400 instead of 600.I don't think I can justify spending 600 on a gaming console. Maybe if it had a new video format but I don't see Sony not using Blue Ray again.

Ps_alm3k5702d ago

start the killer aps 3-4 years before the system release, then bam!!!!
On release day is sure to be a system seller.

imvix5702d ago

except they dont know what the hardware will be 3-4yrs before the console launches.

SexyPrawns5702d ago (Edited 5702d ago )

Are you trollin' or serious?

I sincerely hope you're not serious.

rekof5702d ago (Edited 5702d ago )

price point ,.. that is all,.. whatever people say that was the biggest factor for many,. It was well worth it, but still,..
Price is a major factor for consumers,.. and not value,.. sad but true,..

hope for bc in PS4,..

mdkgod435702d ago

i dont think the ps4 will have bc it would cost to must i think sony is just goin to make it a regular console this time

Games4M - Rob5702d ago

that depends on the architecture of the system. If the PS4 is based of the cell cpu (maybe one with more spu's or multiple cells working in parallel) then there is no reason why it couldnt be backwards compatible.

I doubt that sony is going to ditch the cell setup after the massive investment costs and the time taken to bring devs around to its strengths.

Blaster_Master5702d ago

A regular console? LOL! Right, now its time for me to take a regular dump before I start a regular day.

Lazy_Gamer5702d ago

All the PS3 was lacking back then was an affordable price tag and a killer exclusive lineup. I don't think SONY is a company that falls in the same hole twice.

Natsu X FairyTail5702d ago (Edited 5702d ago )

PS3 had a good launch overall it just took them a little bit of time to get all the devs on board because they were the last ones to launch and thats understandable. When the console got well established things changed And you saw the Momentum shift like it offering more stuff like bluray and 3D etc etc.

I dont want bubbles im just saying the truth lames can die slow.

Garrus_Vakarian5702d ago (Edited 5702d ago )

The PS3's launch will make the PS4's better because they NOW know what NOT to do.

Artpulse review for PlayStation 4 - Demon Gaming

Karl writes: - You’re placed in an out-of-this-world environment (there’s a small selection to choose from) and after a quick tutorial of which buttons do what, you’re free to play! Using the motion controllers to combine a variety of shapes and colors (and a bit of freehand painting) you’ll produce beats, synths and…other musical sounds (I’m not an EDM expert so you’ll have to forgive my ignorance on the subject) which will create and elevate the chosen track (again not a huge selection but enough to showcase ArtPulse).

Himno review for PlayStation 4 - Demon Gaming

Josh writes: - I am going to cut through all the formalities I normally give my reviews with Himno. Normally I try to go into ever Indie title I play with an open mind, and that was no different with Himno. The game boasts “a non-violent, no death platformer.” That may be true that you do not fight off zombies or orcs. However, the bit about not dying is a load of crap as you will constantly fall into the water as you have no clue where you are going half the time.

The animation is nice and it looks like it controls well but they seem to have forgotten to make it a game.

Mekabolt review for PlayStation 4 - Demon Gaming

Lyam writes: - Mekabolt is very simple in concept. Your gun itself is the mekabolt and shooting enemies allows you to manipulate them in a way to continue on in the stage. For instance, one enemy walks on a platform and by shooting it, you can use it to access higher heights. Another is a flying one that when shot, it falls to the ground briefly, letting the player have a moment to jump atop of it and ride upwards. Figuring out the patterns of the enemies and what their benefits are is the key to success in finishing stages. There’s not much difficulty since each time a new concept such as a new enemy appears, the next few stages are simplified to learn the benefits of that enemy.
