The Wii also uses a graphics chip that is based on completely new architecture. Just because it's not as powerful as the other two doesn't mean it's old technology. I guess a Corrola is just a rehashed Model-T huh.
Besides, everyone should know this article is fake. Only Sony can reduce cost annually right. I mean while the PS3 went from costing $840 per console to $50, the Xbox must be losing money on every console sold. Sony dropped nearly $400 of cost, no way Microsoft could ...
Sony has more studios, but the fact is most of the games put out by those studios don't sell that well. You can keep believing that sales don't matter. And the whole while watch dev after dev go out of business. Obviously a most of you are kids with no concept of what bills are. Sony is struggling financially. But it seems no matter how many cuts they make and how many times their executives allude to that fact, you guys remain delusional. Time will tell in this mess and a lot of you will be ...
that's not possible, the government says that Microsoft would have killed them by now. MS is evil. They would never allow another browser on the market. Or maybe Netscape should have put a better browser in the market.
Anybody can cherry pick a few games and make it appear that the PS3 sells games. The truth is if Killzone 2 had been a 360 title, it would have sold 2 million copies the first week. LBP would have sold over a million. When the most anticipated games come out for the 360 they sell. When the most anticipated games come out on the PS3, you can only hope. But, don't get your hopes too high. Throwing in games like RE5, that and FIFA show this idiot wanted to slant the figures. FIFA being a Europea...
Ever sit and wonder why you only have two bubbles?
I've heard each console does things better than the other. But I will say the PS3 version looked slightly better to me.
If I remember correctly, COD4 was dome separately for both consoles. I don't believe they would make a change from that. This is a franchise that makes them too much money. The cost of two different teams would be extremely small compared to the cost of having the people with one system being unhappy. IW are not EA. They'll spend the extra to optimize the game for all three.
And it is fanboy disillusion to think either console can match a high end PC at this point.
I understand your point. By the way, good comment. But what the article is saying is that there is far more money to be made on software than on the system itself. If Sony sells an extra 200,000 systems a month. With an attach rate of 6 games, that's an extra $60 at least. If those are Sony games being sold, that is much more than that. At this point iSupply believes they lose less than $50 per console sold. Drop the price $100 and further cost reduction will make up that difference in the ne...
It must be hard making it in Browserland. But it is funny how quickly Firefox and Chrome zoom past you under the same conditions.
Sheep always get slaughtered.
Blu-ray may have more capacity in the future, but the problem is most will have to buy a new player. Most of the players(outside of the PS3) can not be updated. The 2.0 players just arrived a few months ago and the main ones selling are the lower end players that aren't 2.0 compatible. No BD-live or updates. Even the low end Sony model needs external memory.
And Blu-ray has not been adopted faster. That's PR double speak based on a duplication company selling more machines, Sing...
When you purchase an account, security is a given. No one should have to pay extra. What happens to those that refuse. They allow their accounts to get broken into. I would never buy their products.
please explain what you disagree with.
While Sony has given up a ton of market share, they have also lost a ton of money with the PS3. Going from 68% of the market to 20% of the market is not doing well by any stretch. The PS3 is losing money on every console sold.
On topic, the author is an idiot. If the PS3 drops to $299, it will sell extremely well. I'm not sure it will sell enough to make it catch the 360 in the next two years, but it will start to outsell the 360. The only problem is will Sony lose so much money...
Nice.
Why is it so many consider Netflix greedy for expecting more money for Blu-ray, but not Sony? If you believe they cost you the same, why doesn't Sony charge the same? Why don't all of the studios? Oh, wait, it cost them more. Now I get it. Try renting a Rolls for the same price as an economy car.
The studio heads have stated several times they want to push Blu-ray because the margins on DVD are becoming too low. Meaning they aren't making enough money off of each disc sold. You p...
they usually refer to something new. While everything you say may be true now, it doesn't mean it will be the case 5 years from now. Or even three years from now. People talk so often as if present tense and future tense are the same thing. The interviews I saw of OnLive said that they had a new compression technology. Who knows what others have.
The thing is technology always evolves. It evolves faster and faster. So I'm not willing to believe it's not capable of working. I'm n...
They don't mention anything about a price cut for emerging markets, but that would make sense. While there are comments based on something on this site, most are "Seinfeld" comments. Comments about nothing. Based on your comments, you must be a gamer that actually puts thought into their choices. Not a fanboy. Wow, a comment based on actually thought and free will. Keep up the good work. And never drink the Kool-Aid.
I refuse to pay these kinds of prices for $10 games. Slow your roll Microsoft, you can't get it all back at once.
