I think Godmars underestimates how fast that information would spread and it's effects.
First, all,... that is ALL of the specialty shops would have a vested interest in making sure that everyone knew this information AND in pushing consumers toward buying the other console which will still play used games.
Second, this generation both PS3 & 360 sold about 75 - 77 million units but they sold about 10 million in the first year. There is more than enou...
4. 1. And most used games get traded in toward the purchase of a new game.
The presence of a used game market grows the market for new games by lowering the price point. If the entire market for new games is 3 billion dollars then the used games market will probably add another 1 billion dollars to it.
It seems like the EU PS+ update is better than the US PS+ every month.
No it's the Capcom's and Ninja Theory's loss, because they did sell their game that they spent money to produce. The fans still have their money, or they bought MSR:R to get their hack n' slash fix.
The customer is always right.
I should have said "after 2 commercial FAILURES, I bet the message is starting to sink in"
White Hair. White Hair would have added 1 million sales to their count, off the bat, even if the game was not any better. But what did they do? They had Dante put a white mop over his head as though he had white hair look into the camera as say "not in a million years" deliberately screwing with the fans. How stupid can you get?
Eventually Ninja Theory will get it and realize that they need to make Heavenly Sword 2. The fans have only been asking for that game f...
It is VERY unlikely that they MS will release the next Xbox for $599.
"It isn't disingenuous at all to say that nobody is forcing them to do this."
So then why didn't they change it BEFORE all the controversy started?
There are different degrees of force. If you want to post of a message board while you are at work, and your boss says "If you post a that message board while you are at work, I'll fire you", then your boss used force to stop you from posting.
I am saying that S...
Yeah, that wasn't a very good question was it?
It's a bit disingenuous to say nobody is forcing them to do. Technically, it may be correct in the sense that nobody is threaten them at gunpoint or with legal action. But they are being threatened with bad press. And for a business trying to sell something bad press IS force. Bad press will hurt their sales.
Actually, there weren't being threatened, they were actually receiving bad press. Sony is doing this to stop the bad press. The decision was "do thi...
They way these developers talk about RAM reminds me of closet space in a house.
You may not think need it at first, but if you have it, you can bet your ass your wife will use it all up in no time flat.
I read your article. I didn't see any reference to any inside knowledge. Where do you draw the information to make your conclusion?
As far as I can tell the only info I have seen to say that it won't be BC is that the guy on stage said that it would not be, but he has reason to lie about it. A BC PS4 would stop all PS3 purchases immediately, and Sony wants to keep selling PS3's.
Until I see something concrete I will assume that the reason t...
If the next Xbox has BC then the PS4 will have it too.
Think about it from a consumer point of view.
I have about 30 PS3 and no PS3 because it got stolen. I need another console. If the PS4 will play my PS3 games then my decision is a no brainer, I will but a PS4. BUT, if the PS4 is not BC with the PS3, then I have to reason to prefer a Playstation 4, I will look at both systems from an even slate and make my decision then.
Sony does...
Errr...Half the people who have consoles don't connect them to the internet. I know it's hard to imagine that there are young people who don't use the internet, but they do exist.
Here is my point. THE PS4 IS STILL BEING DESIGNED. There is no way Sony didn't consider whether or not to implement BC into the PS4. Sony will implement BC with the PS3 into the PS4 if it makes dollars and sense for them to do so. This guy is talking as though all the PS4 spec...
Tagged so I can read it later
EDIT:
But I don't like the idea of putting Snake in an Uncharted game either.
@delboy
Unless you are female and not gay, then Nathan is clearly a better choice than Laura, and you would vote for Uncharted.
Michael Pachter has about a 15% accuracy rate.
Which is why I expect the PS4 models that are sold on launch day to be backward compatible. The PS3 lineup will be very strong this holiday. Sony is not going to want to screw up the PS4 launch by having the most dedicated Playstation fans, people who buy new Playstation models at launch day, deciding to buy PS3's instead.
You should change the wording of your title.
Now doesn't mean close to the PS4 release. "Now" means, immediately, today, this hour, this minute, this second, this moment... now.
Putting the word "Now" in your title leads the reader to think that they should immediately go buy a PS3. That is not what you mean. You mean that they should prepare now and be ready to buy a PS3 after its price is cut which should be in a few months.
Or even if she is ugly.
