with movie tie in games is that people even buy them. I know somebody is buying them and it sure isnt me. People have the power to vote with their wallet. Don't buy crappy games and they'll quit making them.
Happy gaming
will always be fun.......As well as the king of platformers......
If the PS3 does indeed come in third I would attribute it entirely to Bluray.
1) PS3 was supposed to launch world wide
- They couldn't because of Bluray laser diode shortages
2) PS3 supposed to launch with 5 million units
- PS3 launched with 200,000 units bc of Bluray laser diode shortages
3) PS3 could have launched at an attractive $400 price point
- PS3 is an additional $200 dollars bc of the inclusion of Bluray
<...
is anything like last gen and Microsoft does indeed lower there price first(especially before Christmas). I think Sony has some serious decisions to make.
like FPS until I played Halo. I always considered them average. After I played online it was a totally different story though. I guess you could say it converted me. I predict Halo will sell at least 6 million copies and will push a lot of 360s out the door for Christmas.
Can't wait to play it though....
Happy Gaming
the entire PS3 launch was delayed bc of Bluray(almost a year). They were also supposed to have 5 million at launch and ended up only having 200,000 because of Bluray.(shortages of Bluray laser diodes).
The PS3 is way overpriced because of Bluray.
PS3 has no games but Sony has an abundance of Bluray movies.
PS3 came packed with a Bluray movie and not a game.......
So what do you think is more important to Sony PS3 or Bluray..................Cmon you guys its so obv...
FF13 will definately help sales of PS3. I don't know why this game and MGS4 keep getting brought up though. They are not coming out at least for a year. Do you realize how far behind PS3 could be in a year? Those games are really a non-issue if you are talking about right now.
I never understood this way of thinking.

#27 you are correct. Sony did want to market the PS3 as a cheap Bluray player. Aren't all the pieces starting to add up? You haven't had many games released since launch, roughly thirty? Only that many games in 6 months. What you have had is a steady supply of top notch releases on Bluray though......Isn't that kind of interesting? Don't worry though once Sony is done using you to get a good enough install base out there for Bluray players. Enough to win the format war.....Then you will ...
The best gun of all time is the spread gun from contra. It set the standard....and deserves to have the number 1 spot.
is going to go multiplatform and PS3 will be anounced as the lead platform. This will show the world the true powers of the PS3.
but does anyone remember a little gem called Blaster Master? That was probably my favorite NES game of all time
This is a very positive thread. Can I have bubbles too? By the way PGR4 does look fantastic. The developers claim this is the first one they haven't been rushed on, so expect a lot more tracks as well.
Microsoft will only follow suit. The problem with the PS3 is that game development takes longer than any other platform. Look at all the game delays. Not to mention their development kits are outrageous. Sony should have listened to developers and made a console based on merits that would be developer friendly. They also should have made more of an effort to secure more 3rd party exclusives. Can you imagine the sales that they would have if GTA4 and DMC4 as well as RE5 were all PS3 excl...
this Christmas will probably be the best one yet for Microsoft and Nintendo. I don't think anything will stop the juggernaut that is Halo 3. And with the Wii getting getting both Mario Galaxy and Metroid...both consoles will be flying off the shelves. Especially with the 360 starting at $300 and the Wii at $250, these will be attractive pricepoints for people buying gifts for there loved ones.
about Final Fantasy on the 360. 360 owners have plenty of role playing games that are exclusive. Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon( made by Sakaguchi, who created FF), Mass Effect, Eternal Sonata. Arent those enough to tide you over? FF is only one game. People need to get off these developers nuts. There are other RPGs besides FF.
with Pheonix, it is unfortunate when anyone loses their job. Chances are that they were only doing what the higher ups told them to do. Good luck finding a job elswhere guys.
same here. EA will be forced to actually do more with Madden. Ive always thought 2K was the better all around football game. I think that 2K was starting to go neck and neck with Madden and that is when EA paid for exclusive rights to the NFL licence. All pro will be good for football fans everywhere bc competition will always breed better products...
Your right one format would benefit the consumer. Too bad it is all Sonys fault that there are 2 formats.Do you realize that the only reason why there is a format war is bc of Sony. When Toshiba, Sony and IBM were done egineering the cell processor and HDDVD there was only one format(which royalties were to be split between Toshiba and Sony). Just like the standard DVD. Sony split off the merger and basicly used Toshiba just for funding. Sony and Toshiba went their separate ways and Toshi...
the cover looks cool. You know Halo is a really addictive game. The thing I thought that was actually the best was the music in it though. It really set the mood of the game depending on what was going on.
