lol!
I doubt it's the developers, it probably has more to do with the consumers then anything. I mean, do you really think Activision would churn COD sequels every year if they weren't selling like hotcakes? In the game industry(heck, in most industries) people are not receptive to new ideas. This is why we see so many remakes coming out of Hollywood these days. And we're doomed to see many more because the mass market is eating it up.
Long story short, if we want mor...
Because the people that got the RROD went out and bought ANOTHER console. Making it even more likely that sells are somewhat inflated. Think about it, if a unit breaks down they are not gonna go back and say "this doesn't count as a sell anymore". And theyre also not gonna specify whether or not a unit was bought by the same individual more than once. This is why ssles are never a 100% accurate indicator of install base
By the way I don't recall anyone sayi...
I think Baka-akaB hit the nail on the head with that last sentence. It's not so much about the game or level itself, but the timing.
It's not like the game is getting canceled. They're simply waiting for a better moment.
Have you asked yourself WHY it has become less favorable from a marketing standpoint? Maybe because it wouldn't be SMART or RESPECTFUL to release it at the original date.
I'm not attacking you, it's just that your justification for the disagrees was exactly the same as what Tombstone said.(or do you believe that a good business move can't be respectful?)
Either way, it was a great thing for Sony to do.
Wait a second, this doesnt't sound like he's mocking PS3 fans, but xbox fanboys instead. It sounds like he's talking about people who accused him of "cheating on the 360" by playing KZ3. Why would PS3 fanboys be upset by that? 360 fanboys on the other hand like to think of Cliffy has being on their "team". So wouldn't they be the ones that are upset, hence the hashtag #cheatingonps3.
So how did that turn into him mocking PS3 fans?
@maniacmayhem
bro, the shipped numbers are the actual numbers companies count when they talk about what is "sold". It's not so much that they are lying, it's just part of the system of business. I'm pretty sure whatever other product that held the record before kinect most likely got there based off shipped numbers aswell.
In cases like this shipped and sold are all the same.
What do you mean "victim"?
He's got this site wrapped around his fingers. Everytime he utters this site's name it become a 500 degree article. Trust me, he knows exactly what he's doing.
I don't really blame him though because it's mostly our own fault. The N4G community simply can not ignore flambait (no matter how hard it tries). That's reason hiphop gamer got big, the reason we still approve stuff from vgcharts, the rea...
What the...
He finally snapped. lol!!!
Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing for awhile. It'd be a waste to force this out in 2011 when we have so many other games to look forward to. (especially in the always-crowded holiday season.)
They should spread the games out a little more so that we have stuff to look forward to this year and in 2012.
Why do you assume that it's PS3 fans that are complaining? Most are the comment seem like they're from 360 fans that have simply had enough.
Oh I get it, you're one of those guys that thinks that anytime someone says anything remotely negative about MS, they must be a ps3 fanboy right? Gotcha.
Come on kid, there are some well known 360 fans in this thread (low carb, ChrisGTR1, etc.) who are rightfully pissed. And when you're upsetting fans as...
@mahr
fair enough, but how much of that stuff can you do now that it is hacked?(im really asking)
Regardless of the state of linux, you're kidding yourself if you believe that every hacker is in it for the region free stuff and such. You know as well as I do that a good amount of these hackers want nothing other than free games. (thinking otherwise is like thinking people break into banks for the excercise.)
Think about it, anything ...
It's so stupid to see hackers complain about the removal of other OS, because it was their "leader" (Geohot), who got it removed. He started meddling with the system and found a security whole inside linux. So Sony (wisely) decided to remove the feature.
And what do hackers do? Blame Sony of course. When the real culprit is the guy they are sending money to.(lol!)
Hackers are the very reason pirates do what they do. If not for hackers opening the floodgates, they wouldn't be able to pirate. Because they'd have no way of doing so.
And you didn't really answer Trroy's question.
So when you pirate a game, what exactly do you leave the developers with?
Stealing: getting something for free that you were not supposed to.
Piracy: getting something for free that you were not supposed to.
It doesn't whether you had a "good" reason to, or how you feel about the people who sell it, or what day of the week it was, or any other strange excuse people come up with.
If you take something without pay...
@Delbert Grady
I'm not gonna take sides here, but atleast PS3 fanboys actually brag about games and graphics or whatever. As opposed to xbox fanboys, who brag about sales and uh... party chat.
@Visari
I can't put my finger on it, but something tells me you would have picked up Killzone 3 regardless.
just this feeling I get. ;)
Isn't it already a leg up on the competition... by default?
Either way, fail article is fail. (couldn't even get their facts straight)
The author let me down with their stupidity.
You make it sound as if there is a whole bunch of Pachter love in this thread, ...I don't see it.
Besides, what are people supposed to say? That they disagree, just because they don't like the guy?
@TOSgamer
I don't get your logic. Lets say your favorite developers needed to sell 3 million copies in order to recoup their investment. Now lets say 1 million people bought the game new and 2 million bought the game used. Well, even though the game was PLAYED by 3 million people, the developers only get MONEY from 1 million of those people. And because of this the project is deemed a failure and your favorite developers end up having to close up shop.
No...
