After seeing several articles of every columnist and blogger posting about the PS3 and it's surprising success, I felt compelled and obligated to speak my mind on this issue. Yes this is a blog and yes you will hear personal opinion, however I am a very opened minded person with no bias to a particular brand. With that said,
"The PS3 will be the juggernaut of this generation"
I remember back when I had a Sony Playstation 2, playing SOCOM 1,2,3,3:Combined Assault. I felt that if there was another Playstation coming out that I would be in line like the rest of them. After seeing the cost and not "understanding" the value of it, I quickly passed. What in the world is Blu-Ray? or HD-DVD? I loved shooters and sports games. Microsoft XBOX 360 seemed to have plenty of them. Nothing made me want to purchase a system until one game. Epic Games' Gears of War.
I went out a purchased a 360 a week in advance and reserved Gears of War. I purchased it right with the fall dashboard update came out. When I got home, I unpacked my 360 and turned on. Immediately it asked for the update process to continue. Shorty there after, I found myself being introduced to this thing called the Red Ring of Death. Get this. I returned to the store 6 times, with bricked consoles before I said enough. Microsoft assured me this was a known issue and will be resolved asap. A week later I repurchased along side of Gears of War. 3 months later. RRoD. Warranty exchange followed then I sold on ebay.
Now I have a 20gb PS3 and I could not be happier. I purchased one mostly because of SOCOM but it was the reliability and reputation that I followed. I went from a "sony fanboy" to a microsoft fan and back. Why? because being the tech head that I am. I knew the potential of the PS3 when I noticed that at my old job we used blu-ray discs that had almost 250 gb on a dual layer, dual disk platter. These were used for servers systems. Not only that but the technology can grow beyond that.
I am posting thing because I too joined the "PS3 bandwagon" The thing is, I'm the driver.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I think your a liar.
Genuine out of all people on this site to NOT be believed. its you mate.
