I disagree.
1. Kent, the head of PS brand, was really arrogant in the early stage saying like people would take a second job (during the recession) to buy a ps3 or buy one even without games. You can't deny that it was the mentality of PS brand at that time.
2. A couple of miscalculation:
- release later and at much higher price (underestimating MS on this part).
- the recession
- late to...

Beside Metal Gear Solid (which does have it owns distinct characters), the other 2 games got their influence mostly from Hollywood movie no?
Given Hollywood seem to ran out of topic lately, focus too much on quick hitter with super hero movies, the twightlight crap, and even Act of Valor (add 1st person perspective to cater to what CoD fan or something?) etc...
If you want to know good movie, you should check out foreign films....
The main point is not about maxing out HW specs, "casual" don't really care. The key is to get decent HW and make it affordable for as many as possible.
Just look at the Solar panel business. Chinese are killing American Solar business (Solyndra for example) because they can produce similar product but at a much lower cost.
And the graphics is not the main factor for a good game.
Ranma1 again? I think people got it that you really hate current gen FF. You pretty much show up in every FF articles to make that point.
I enjoy FF games this gen, especially FF13-2. SE fix almost everything people were complaining about so that is a good start.
I like the heavy rain story and mystery, but i couldn't get over the redundant QTE events. Same with any games that focus so much on it.
nah...i'll wait. There are better kinect implement comming (crimson dragon for example).
I think he kinda contradict himself when he said controller restricted by rules. The movement of kinect is also restricted to movement of your body and the software to detect it. Instead of pressing forward, you just lean forward. What is the differences? Nothing, just a different way to approach a situation.
I don't know, i'm starting to think the only thing people want to improve on is graphics. Are there any other thought on improving Fun Factor?

Look at that car in the back. You are right, that looks about next gen alright.
You haven't even mention that one is open world, the other is linear. Fo...
@Blaine
1. Are there more core gamers vs. "casual gamers"?
2. If what you said is true (Sony cater to core gamers), that mean Sony doesn't want to expand their brand? There is saturation point for "core" gamers right? How else can they expand if that all they focus on?
3. Do you think it is a good business decision to cater to a niche crowd and refuse to expand your market?
4. Do you actually know w...
@j-blaze and Hicken
So both of you just listed best games (based on personnel opinion) on whatever system you owned.
Why don't you guys just go a head and get both? Wouldn't that solve the problem of this redundant bickering?
@blacklight82
Did they release a full flesh product, or an ongoing work that PD want to add?
- What is that about 200 premium vs 800 standard car?
- By adding a black border as a placeholder for in cockpit view make it refreshing?
- boosting contents, car related, using GT PSP cars import?
List the things PD have added to GT5 vs Turn 10, which added new update roster of cars everytime (it is like adding MP maps to FPS for example.)
wow dude, people love Halo not because of graphics. It is the balance,fun 4 coop, and MP gameplay that make it what it is today. I sure hope they don't change gameplay mechanic. Couldn't care less if the graphics sucks.
I don't think people will understand what pirating is like until it happens to them.
Everyone is just looking out for their own interest.
Pirating sucks.
I think Forza sell is going down because it is release almost every year. It is really hard to add a lot more contents within such a short amount of time. It might suffer from what they called buyer fatigue (although CoD seems like an exception).
The open approach of this one is different from the usual Forza so it could still be interesting.
@francknara6
So let me ask you (+ 9 others who agree with you) this:
Who owns Fable 3 IP or its developer? If that go to PC, MS will not get anything for it? Think hard before you answer.
So if you want to count PC into the mix, we can also count MS games on PC as well if you guys like. How about it?
What is the reason why MS releasing their own IPs, or publishing/pitch out money to put x360 games on PC as well?
exactly. The short stories is the bread and butter of LO. Guess people skip those and think the story is crap (i guess gamers don't like to read?). Kaim is probably one of the best character in JRPG thanks to those short stories. Quite a refreshing break from the usual teenage/like protagonist from other JRPGs. Again, you need to read to see that.
No CGI could ever convey a better understanding of your character as much as LO with the short stories.
I think it would be beneficial for Sony to expand. Many on here seem to forget that Sony is a business company, not a gaming charity organization.
This is what we need this gen, something original. I'm actually quite tired of FPS, TPS and the likes. Knew this gonna be a gem. Nice review.
wow why not? Beside the stiff animation, the bosses actually have very fluid animation, it pretty much everything else. Go ahead and show me one game on console with better/realistic texture on character models? The lighting in RE5 is really impressive too.
Oh, disagree cause i said Crysis 2 looks the best eh? Tell me why not? BF3 is also a beast on it owns, even on console too, not just PC.
Would you guys agree if i say UC3 or GoW3 instead?
Not all religion have to rely on wars for expansion, like Buddism for example, but religion often are used for political agenda because people are willing to die for their faith.
Violence possibly stem from the severity of their faith.
@keeper_21
1. MS looks at what make the ps2 successful and learn from it (homework) and were they able to turn things around this gen? Did sony improve on it or just slack off riding the wave of ps2? Is Sony still dominant this gen or are they still in last place? See the difference in what i mean by homework?
2. Motion control really broaden gaming horizon, from little kids to even senior citizen:
- haven't you read the news about how the wii ...
