if sony, a hardware company, can set up software studios to develop games, microsoft, a software company, can do it too.
fuck microsofts perspective, sure, its important for companies to make money, but come on, there are competitors out there who have devoted money to making a huge library of fantastic games, support the platforms that support you. microsoft isnt giving you any games, theyre just taking them away from other platforms. sony and nintendo both give games, micro...

three of the five highest rated wii games were wiiware games
two of the five highest rated x360 games were arcade games
sony is the only platform that has all of its top rated games being actual real, retail games. they didnt even count ico/shadow of the collossus collection, which got a 91, and it still had all five spaces filled up
anyways, sony did worse this year than it did last year (if yo...
this is only games released during 2011, games release before than dont count, neither do map packs or any of the like, the wii didnt get much support this year it would seem.
its also counting ps minis,psn games, and such things, without microsofts arcade releases it seems like it would have scored quite a bit lower, 2 of the highest scoring x360 exclusives this year were arcade games
nintendo might have fared better without wiiware games, three of its top s...
i thought that japan had it as a pre order bonus somewhere also though
i thought they said a long time ago that they were going to put PS+ members into a beta, maybe thats later? maybe they changed their minds?
either way im looking forward to this game
have they said if this will be the case for the US release?
i didnt even know gravity rush was an rpg, ill have to give it another look, little kings story 2 looks pretty fun
this game has such great ideas in it, they should give us another chrono game ... :)
if theres an actual problem with something, by all means, please, shed some light on it. this isnt a problem, and every other piece of media i've seen has said that the rear touchpad is awesome.
this guy quotes a marketing guy saying that the touchpad is great if youre new to games, but if you've been playing for a while you might feel more comfortable using the regular controls. he then takes that to mean that the rear touchpad is awkward.
awkward? n...
cant wait for the rpgs for this bad som bit to be released. FFX remake, persona 4
i would agree if it were based only on cost of production, but sony has to make money on something. to lower the entry barrier they lower the cost of the actual handheld (which, from a tech standpoint wont have a significant pricedrop in quite some time).
to offset this they raise the price of something else, memory cards.
im sure sony would rather take the profit on the actual handheld, as everyone will have to get one, while memory cards are optional, but t...
im sure many developers would rather stay exclusively on pc, but when more than 80% of your sales are from consoles, you generally want to spend more time on the console versions.
perhaps when more people buy the pc version they'll give it some more focus, but even so, saying that it had bad graphics because of consoles is a total cop out, its graphics were no where near other games' graphics
/troll on
[reads through list, thinks to self]
wow, they found 5 exclusive ips for the x360
if people werent game sharing crazy than sony probably wouldnt have had to further limit the amount of devices you could put your games on
agreed, hopefully they even put in a little extra functionality for the vita, i heard that they were planning on letting us use the second analog, and thats cool, but i would enjoy it even more if it took advantage of everything else the vita has to offer.
i was really hoping for xii for the vita, but x is good also i guess. ill definitely be buying x for vita if anything, just to show them that theres a market for them to remake these games
getting 40% of your money back when trading in a game isnt likely to happen lol. a few games go from $60 to $10 in a year, so the trade in for them drops pretty quick
for the larger... more important markets... of which there are three, and in one of them there have been like 20 xboxs sold so far this year (japan/obviously exaggerated, theres been like 10k xbox sold in japan)
btw, this is data from a french analysis group, so its obviously only pertaining to france, if we were looking at worldwide it would show that ps3 will sell more worldwide this year, about 1m more than 360, the wii will most likely beat both out, ps3 by about 250k, xb...
OHHHH is that why the first sentence says fourth largest gaming market?
shit i thought they were talking about waffles for a second there
it really depends on the exclusives, ps3 is pretty much the only console that i use anymore, i gave away all my others because they dont get any exclusives, ps3 has everything so why do i need anything else?
