I really want to know the supposed other delatys than the first one about going out in Japan early this year and the second one for november....The comment of Yamauchi saying it was ready to go at any time last year doesnt counts (and so not the first supposed delay either...) so...where are the others??? If someone got some links with actual facts and not some sites going nuts, please post them.
OK, the development of this game is taking quite a while, but fo0r the perfecti...
I can believe in a multibillion dollar company that can suffer lawsuits whenever they lie about anything they come out with an official statement stamp on it or some guy from an internet forum who can say whatever he wants, with the only conseguence, besides maybe being banned, being to receive a response he may not like.....I think I'll go with the multibillion dollar company.
even when it was bough to be simply a BD player, it still could play games (in the beggining you literaly boug a PSOne, a PS2 and a PS3 + that BD player...).
As Thom said, besides 2 franchises (shooters to boot...the only thing, it seens, that really sells in the MS platform) really achieve such huge numbers, so you point goes down that fast.
Lets not forget you last point...you may like to think that X360 is just a console...MS would like to humbly disagree ...
I went and saw that little link to IGN's X360 page where MS explains how it was 3x more powerfull than PS3, way back in 2005...and look where we are now. If where are talking about exclusives, theres no comparison...PS3 obliterates anything excluysive or multiplatform on X360 and the multiplat games only barely have an edge because its so much easier to develop for X360....
Now, when you take this MS talk (back in 2005, I know) on how X360 was so much more powerfull than ...
All I've been reading here are xenophobic comments of people who neve went to Japan, and any other country in Asia, to have an actual perspective of things.
Japan doesnt sees MS as quality. Complain all you want, but japanese people sees quality as the MOST important thing when buying anything. MS and its shoddy software problems are well know there. They use it because, hey, guess who have, basically, the monopoly of the market? Things may change even in there...
...
And Japan was pretty much a province to China's Emperors for many centuries and treated like it....look, all countries that achieve some type of power with its neigboors WILL eventually abuse it. China did, Japan did, US still does and so on.
Dont try to defend a country that still treats its own population like slaves whenever the rest of the world isnt paying atention.
War is when the humanity shows where its stand. The COUNTRY will do horrors without t...
People who compares the failure rats of the first 3 years od the X360 with the problems PS2 had for ONE YEAR is something I dont have words to describe....
By the way, my LAUNCH PS2 is still kicking, and my cousins play the Fifa games whenever they come to my place (I dont let them touch my PS3, 14 year olds are way too clumsy)
@topic
Besides the wrong approach MS had with the first Xbox, their new one with X360 wasnt as happy. Heck, even when they b...
Straith from Wiki (not tha tI believe in them in every thing but...)Market capitalisation is:
"Market capitalization/capitalisation (often market cap) is a measurement of size of a business enterprise (corporation) equal to the share price times the number of shares outstanding (shares that have been authorized, issued, and purchased by investors) of a public company. As owning stock represents ownership of the company, including all its equity, capitalization could repr...
People seens to forget this. People simple think that you will go the the main Sony building in Tokyo and say:
"I want to buy all this right now, heres the check from the bank."
Its not like this guys.
This type of thing doesnt happen "easily". Besides all the others already said about anual revenues and the huge difference of assets both companies have, and lets not forget those pesty anti-trust laws that are all over the place to prevent monopolys to happen, theres always the hardships of meetings and so on where both higher execs would squable to try and set prices. Prices that would be so high Apple woudnt be able to afort, as you said, easily.
As Sony problab...
Sakaguchi, as good as he is, isnt a god. LOst ODyssey is a good game, but isnt that special. It reall ydepends on the point of view really, but some of the FF games after Sakaguchi was out of the control seat were some of the best FFs(FF X cames to mind). We should thank him for the creation of the FF games and lots of its brilliance, but to put all of its glory on his hands, ALONE, is stupid.
Did you know that it was because of Spirits Within (THAT movie that was speared by ...
Actually the weaker the Yen and the stronger the dolar is best for Japanese companies. They sell better outside their country and their profits are measured in dollar rather than Yen.
SE is screwed because of its mistakes and a lot of poor/downright bad decissions recently.
Nonumra can do so much....these past decisions seemed to be good on paper, but even then it prooved to be idiotic. As many people have already said sending its main userbase/fanbase to hell developing exclusives/time exclusives and even going multiplat, while giving away its quality, is killing SE.
If the worst comes to happen (and thats depend from the point of view...) I hope all of the very tallented developers still working for them to find a nice new home in other good d...
"you fanboys spread the truth way too much. uncharted 2 uses almost a whole SINGLE LAYER bluray disc wich is only 25 gigs, now correct me if im wrong but i believe a dual layer dvd on the xbox is about 20 gigs? so technically it still would need more than 1 disc but it wouldn't need a whopping 10 discs and 1 for MP"
???
First a Dual Layer DVD has about 8.7 Gigs of free space. For X360 Games, where there is some DRM protections on it, its about m...
Get ready, because its coming fast. Before Christmas for sure...
Well, maybe not, Nintendo will look weak for its investors and so...
Ah whatever...never gonna buy that either way.
And before someone bash me, besides Fire Emblem, theres nothing on Wii that makes me want to buy it, none of the old IPs and teh shovelware are really worth IMO.
And the fact that some people only buy Nintendo games is one of the many reason Wii is suffering with decreasing sales. 3rd Party doenst really wants to make games to it because it simply doesnt sells as well as 1st.
We all complain aboout the shovelware, but Nintendo canibalizes the games sales so much in their consoles its no fun to try and lauching some quality games in there, so its easier to sell 1-2 million units of shovelware and make quick buck there.
"Especially since Nintendo is getting their honestly unlike Sony who had to have a console with a 100% failure rate until a class action lawsuit."
??? Im looking at my launch PS2 here, that still works perfectly, and Im still trying to discover what you're talking about....
Besides some BS you've said, Wii sold more on price alone than quality of its shovelware and a the fery few and sparce good games that came out to it.
N...
I would say that this kind of stupidity beggan back with the PS2 vs Dreamcast. It was still little, it was a kiddys game/fight because PS2 was such a moster back then...but with the advent of the X360....with the viral MS marketing, their own high execs being more fanboys than their consumers and such + the internet becoming more available world wide = what we have today. Stupid fanboys that think they know better than the people who actually works in this industry since even before some of t...
there are those games that can become Move friendly trough a simple patch. Anyway, I'll keep waiting for the official numbers to come out.
some years ago, when Nintendo was supreme king of gaming...most players of today werent even playing games then....and Nintendo was a tyrant of a company. If you think Sony was 'over conmfident' (not to say arrogant...) in the beggining of this gen...its nothing compared with The big N in the 90's. We all know how that ended for Sony this gen...lets just hope Nintendo isnt going back to those days.
IF they dont offer something to those lovely, and ficle, casuals t...
