And you are the type of posters in these forums/communities that just create hostility. Instead of taking a neutral approach you decide to bring drama into this.
Would it make me feel better? I would still feel the same about my favorable console than if there was no or tons of positive articles. What WOULD make me feel better is when there is a positive article, it is nowhere to be seen, and xBox/PS3 fans flock like birds when there is a negative article of the PS3 and they ta...
And why aren't there more positive articles like this bout the price cut Sony made...?
Thats something that most people don't understand. You have to sacrifice to gain...
If they can sacrifice something from their console to lower down the price and if BC is something that is rather not needed then so be it. If more than half the people don't want or use BC, then take it out. Ask yourself THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION: Does the mainstream person want BC in their console or a LOWER price.. I think they will forget about the BC. People are making a big deal out of BC...
Actually the PS3 will overtake the 360 A LOT sooner than most people predict. For 'July 2007' MS's estimate of sold consoles were to be up at 12 Million, almost 22 months in its lifecycle and they must be around that number NOW... I think around 14-16M 360s will be sold by Jan 08 but by the end of 08 the PS3 should be very close to the 360's install base (maybe around 17-18M).
The PS3 will sell from 5.5M to 9-10M by Jan 08. They will reach 20M by Jan 09 pretty easily. After 20...
No matter how many people decide to counter attack these points, there is no way that the PS3 will end up in first place.
I HIGHLY doubt a very "distant" third but rather a VERY CLOSE third or in second place. A lot of those reasons no longer apply. Marketing will be skyrocketing and the price has come down. Its funny cause that article says that the 'fans are in an uproar' because of no PS2 BC... I'm only seeing game sites really b**ching about the BC, I go around fo...
rusgreim, I thought that was the most hilarious post I've ever read, lmao!
Though I believe that this is a little over ambitious. It is pretty much reachable.
Most people fail to realize that the Playstation Brand has its own power. People see PS and they want it. Look at the PSP for a great example... It took a huge chunk of the market from Nintendo.
With great games coming out this year that applies to all markets worldwide... LittleBigPlanet, SingStar, Eye of Judgement, PSN Games, Uncharted, Unreal Tourny 3, White Knight Story, Haze,...
You are talking like Sony was the one that said this...
Sony has their own goals they want to reach. This article is based off an analyst. Stop talking like Sony is doing the wrong here...
Sony must have their reasons. I seen some guy on Kotaku saying that Sony has already built the SIXAXIS controller with the rumble in mind. Meaning that the circutry inside has already the places where the motors can just be snapped on or something.
Or, manufacturing the motors. Maybe they already have all their factories to make the rumble in a certain way. It would not be a good idea to spend even more money to make adjustments in their factories for the new motor...

This would be that kind of game that comes out of nowhere and really outshines the competition when gameplay videos finally arrives.
This is like how Bioshock came out of nowhere; Wardevil is going to do the same and just WOW us all. OH YEA! Watch the trailers and just crank up your headphones, the audio and visuals will make you daydream about this game... intense!
I first saw this game like years ago. But go to their main site and it tells you.
RTE 1080 engine will run at 1920x1080 at 60 Progressive fps. Check it out all out all in the website, www.wardevil.com
OMG, this is my game... for realls.. Finally something new comes up about this game.
Now were really going to see what their 1080@60 RTE Engine is capable on the PS3.
Damn, I love this game already.
Yes, but the playstation brand plus a $400 dollar console will ride Sony through this Christmas lovely...
And no matter how anyone puts it. 2008 is Sony's year. Period.
Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Final Fantasy 13, and Grand Turismo 5... are ALL system sellers. Thats 5 system movers in ONE year... The PS3 will catch up rapidly in this war.
BTW DS to end up with 150 Million?! What! Thats crazy, but I do think those numbers ar...
Either the downloadedable version sold great and Sony wants to release that price point into retailers, or it sold crappy and they need to get more sales from retail.
Either way, get Warhawk its awesome!
I want one of these things so damn bad.
As much as anyone would agree of Wii's success. I REALLY don't want this generation to become swamped with party games, and learning how to cook with yo momma and what not...
Oh yea definitely. Totally agree. Don't get me wrong, I KNOW MS failed miserably over there and I would suggest for them to just bring some of their Japan resources into other world markets. They need to realize its a lost cost.
Basically what I was trying to say is that I give a lot of credit to MS for trying so hard, and anybody can see that.
When Kotaku interviewed Peter Moore a while back ago and asked Peter if MS went out to developers to buy exclusivity. Peter didn't deny the fact they did but tried to change it up a bit by saying they are doing 'business'.
Now, I do think that Microsoft goes out to developers, fluffs em up a little bit and then go back and do some side-deals and buy out exclusivity. Do I think thats shady? Of course and is it making the gaming industry money hungry? Of course, but I will give ...
I am actually right behind ya on this one. I always had this perception that the 360 was doing great in Europe (be it the rest of the world) and was owning in NA and well of course, doing sh** in Japan.
I read an article a couple of days ago that stated the sales number for the 360 and I believe it went something like this: 400k = Japan, 7M = NA, and the rest of the World = 1.4M... (I'm trying to find the article, I'll post as soon as I find)
I was shocked when I...
Yea I like how Pachter really hits a lot of points head on (You gotta go back and see the old episodes fully).
But we still don't know if Bluray will be the deciding factor... according to Pachter we'll know by the end of Holiday 07. But then again, I don't think he was predicting Paramount to join HD-DVD exclusively... We'll have to wait and see!
